Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

  • You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the speaker impedance to "4Ω~16Ω" (see page 18). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the DVD receiver at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
  • Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
  • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals only to negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
  • Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
  • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
  • Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the DVD receiver's rear panel. Doing so may damage
  • Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
  • Don't connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting your HDTV or AV component with an HDMI connection

This section shows how to connect the DVD receiver to an HDTV, projector, or game console that has an HDMI input/output socket.

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, standard or high definition digital video and digital audio. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that's necessary to achieve the best picture quality.

HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DVD receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.

Using HDMI

Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the DVD receiver's HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your TV. In the same manner, connect the DVD receiver's HDMI IN to an HDMI OUT on the game console, etc.

ONKYO DR-S501 - Using HDMI - 1

Notes:

  • The DVD receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a protection system for digital video. HDMI components that you connect to the DVD receiver must also support HDCP.
  • The DVD receiver supports High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Information Version 1.0.

HDMI & the DVD receiver

Video

The DVD receiver's HDMI OUT supports the following video resolutions:

  • 720x480p (progressive), 60 Hz
  • 720 × 576p (progressive), 50 Hz
    1280 x 720p (progressive), 50 / 60Hz
    1920 x 1080i (interlaced), 50 / 60Hz

If the connected HDTV or projector doesn't support a resolution, you may get no picture.

On the DVD receiver, you can select a resolution suitable for use with the connected HDTV or projector (see page 30).

Audio Formats

The DVD receiver's HDMI OUT supports the following audio formats:

PCM (96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz)
- Dolby Digital
DTS

Notes:

  • If your HDMI-compatible TV or projector doesn't support Dolby Digital and DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital audio in that format. In this case, set the "Digital/HDMI Audio Out" setting to "PCM" (see page 62).
  • If your TV doesn't support digital audio at high sampling rates, set the "Linear PCM Out" setting to "Down Sample On", so that it's down sampled to below 48kHz (see page 62).
  • Note that audio from SACD discs or audio from the multi channel area of a DVD-Audio discs is not output by the HDMI OUT.
  • The audio signal input from HDMI IN is not output from the speakers connected to the DVD receiver but only from the TV. With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output. In these cases, set the connected device's output to PCM.
    Audio and video inputs from VIDEO 1 INPUT orVIDEO 2/DOCK INPUT are not be output fromHDMI OUT.

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator appears.

ONKYO DR-S501 - Using RDS (European models only) - 1

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The DVD receiver supports two types of RDS information:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting PS information, the station's name will be displayed.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display.

ONKYO DR-S501 - RT (Radio Text) - 1

Notes:

  • In some cases, the text characters displayed on the DVD receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.
  • If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

About the Listening Modes

Pure Audio

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction.

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction.

Stereo

The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer if connected.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there's too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Notes:

  • T-D listening mode cannot be selected while headphones are connected to the DVD receiver.
  • During playback a DVD-Audio or SACD, T-D listening mode cannot be selected.
  • In the case of SCART connection, the output volume from the TV will be lower than other listening modes.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Listening Angle Setting

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the three available settings.

Crossover Frequency

This setting only applies to the speakers that you specified as "Small" in the "Front Speakers Size" on page 56. To get the best bass performance from your speaker system, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the size and frequency response of your speakers. Use the diameter of the smallest speaker in your system when choosing the crossover frequency.

Speaker cone diameterCrossover frequency
Over 20 cm40/50/60 Hz*
16–20 cm80 Hz
13–16 cm100 Hz(default)
9–13 cm120 Hz
9 cm150/200 Hz*

*Choose the setting suitable for the speaker.

Notes:

  • For a more accurate setting, look up the frequency response in the manuals supplied with your speakers and set accordingly.
  • Choose a higher crossover frequency if you want more sound from your subwoofer.

10 kHz: Select if 10 kHz steps are used in your area.

9 kHz: Select if 9 kHz steps are used in your area.

Audio Input Setup

If you connect a component to a digital input jack, you must assign that jack to an input. For example, if you connect your DVD recorder to the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack, you should assign that jack to the "Video 1 input". By default, the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack is assigned to the "Video 2 input", although this can be changed.

Here are the default assignments.

InputDefault assignment
VIDEO 1 INPUTOPT
VIDEO 2/DOCK INPUTCoax

OPT: optical digital audio input

Coax: coaxial digital audio input

ANA: analog audio input

Note:

The same audio input cannot be simultaneously assigned to both VIDEO 1 INPUT and VIDEO 2/DOCK INPUT.

Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack (see above).

Normally, the DVD receiver detects the signal format automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

  • If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.
  • If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.

DTS or PCM: The DTS or PCM indicator, depending on which format you have set, flashes, and only signals in that format are output. Digital signals in other formats are ignored.

Auto (default): The format is detected automatically. If no digital input signal is present, the corresponding analog input is used instead.

This chapter explains the various functions and settings of the onscreen setup menus.

Functions and settings are arranged into six menus: Picture, Audio, Language, Display, Operation Setting, and Initial Setup.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also "Digital audio."

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widenscreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also "Sampling frequency" and "Analog audio."

DivX

DivX is a media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain compressed video. DivX files can also include advanced media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.

Dolby Digital

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.

The display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

Down Mix

Down mixing reduces the number of surround-sound channels and mixes the multi-channel audio that is used in Dolby Digital and DTS so that the audio matches the number of speakers and other elements of the output environment.

DRM

DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio).

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise).

Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, ".mp3" indicates an MP3 file.

HD

Abbreviation for high definition, as in HDTV (high-definition TV).

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It's designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a high-speed digital interface which has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound audio on a single digital connection. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

ISO 9660 format

International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs.

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension“.jpg” or“.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.

LFE

LFE refers to the low-frequency effect sounds that are used in Dolby Digital and DTS. Generally, the subwoo-ers function more effectively when these sounds are contained in the signal from the disc or other media.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension ".mp3" or ".MP3".

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)

This is one broadcasting system for color televisions, and is used in the U.S., Korea, Central and South America, Japan, and other countries. The system consists of 525 horizontal scan lines, and is divided into 30 frames per second. It uses an interlacing method which skips every other scan line to produce an image (field) with one-half of the full resolution, and displays 60 such fields per second.

PAL (Phase alternation by line)

This is one broadcasting system for color televisions, and is used primarily in Europe. This system consists of 625 horizontal scan lines. It uses an interlacing method with 25 frames (50 fields) per second. The vertical resolution is higher than NTSC, however the frame rate is lower.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital.

Progressive scan video

All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes to update the whole picture).

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz , which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also "Digital audio."

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

This is a virtual surround-sound technology that was developed by Onkyo Corporation. For details, see page 42.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8.

If you have any trouble using the DVD receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can't resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
