Speaker Precautions
Placement
- The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
- Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
- Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.
- Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
- If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit's output level.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-750XF and SKC-750XC feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.
Do not place SKM-750XS close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
- Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
- Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
- High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.
- Amplifier oscillation.
- Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
- Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
- Microphone feedback.

Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver's superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo's original DSP listening modes.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-750XF)
These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Surround left and right speakers (SKM-750XS)
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.
Center speaker (SKC-750XC)
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it's used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer (SKW-750X)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-750X)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level.

Speaker Configuration
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.
| Number of speakers: | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Front left | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Front right | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Center | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ||
| Surround left | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ||
| Surround right | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ||
| Surround back* | ✓ | |||||
| Surround back left | ✓ | |||||
| Surround back right | ✓ |
- If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 42) or manually (see page 74).
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
- You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 8 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp 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. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only 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 AV receiver.
- Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
- Don't connect a speaker to several terminals.



Connecting Speaker Set A
1 Strip 5 / 8" of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

2 Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it's touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.

Connecting Speaker Set B
1 Strip 3 / 8" of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

2 While pressing the lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Note:
While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.
If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.


Center Speaker Base
The center speaker base is for mounting the center speaker horizontally. If you put it on a TV stand or AV stand, aim it toward the listening position. The center speaker should sit securely on the base. If it's loose, try resetting it.
The cradle surface of the base features two stoppers to prevent the speaker from moving. Therefore, you can tilt the speaker toward the front by up to 11 degrees.

Using the included rubber spacers
We recommend using the supplied rubber spacers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber spacers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable setup.


Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring.
To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

Wall Mounting
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole fins on the rear of each speaker.
Mounting vertically
To mount the front speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.

Mounting horizontally
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.

Caution:
A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.
Use screws with a head diameter of 3/8'' or less and a shank diameter of 1/8'' or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of between 1 / 4'' and 5 / 16'' between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won't pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

AM antenna push terminals
FM antenna jack
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
American Model

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Caution: Be careful that you don't injure yourself when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 25).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.
(The antenna's wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:
- Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
- For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.
- Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
- For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
- Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It's best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
About AV Connections
- Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.
- Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV receiver's optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it's removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

- Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
- To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

AV Cables and Jacks

Connecting Audio and Video Signals to the AV Receiver
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.
When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see page 47).
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog (including multichannel). You can specify which audio inputs the AV receiver checks for the presence of a signal in the "Automatic Audio Input Selection Setup" on page 49.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 46 and 47).
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, S-Video, composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the S-Video and composite video inputs, however, the S-Video signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the S-Video and HDMI outputs.

Connecting Components with HDMI
About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, or multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), ^1 so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will display a picture.
The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats
2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32-192kHz)
- Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192kHz)
- Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, DSD)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
About Copyright Protection
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),*2 a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver's HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG ^3 in 1999.
2 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.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group's objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.
Making HDMI Connections
Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver's HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.
Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 46).

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See "Video Connection Formats" on page 28 for more information.
Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the Audio TV Out setting is set to On (see page 82).

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV's speakers, set the Audio TV Out setting to On (see page 82), and set your DVD player's HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:
- The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you'll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
- To listen to an HDMI source component through the AV receiver, you must configure your system so that video from the HDMI source component can be displayed on your TV (i.e., on your TV, select the HDMI input that's connected to the AV receiver's HDMI OUT). This is necessary because a component identification check has to be performed on your TV before an HDMI source component can output any signals. If your TV is off or set to a different input source, the AV receiver may produce no sound or the sound may be distorted.
- The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there's no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component's instruction manual for details.
Connecting a Camcorder, Game Console, or Other Device
Step 1: Make the video connection A.
Step 2: Make the audio connection a.

| Connection | AV receiver | Signal flow | Camcorder or console |
| A | AUX INPUT VIDEO | ← | Composite video output |
| a | AUX INPUT L-AUDIO-R | ← | Analog audio L/R output |
Connecting the Supplied DS-A1L Dock

Notes:
- To connect an RI dock other than the DS-A1L, refer to its instruction manual.
- While your iPod is seated in the Dock, its battery will be charged when the AV receiver is set to On or Standby.
Connecting a CD Player or Turntable
CD Player or Turntable (MM) with Built-in Phono Preamp
Step 1:
Choose a connection that matches your CD player (a, b, or c). Use connection a for a turntable with a built-in phone preamp.

- To connect the CD player digitally, use connection b or c.
| Connection | AV receiver | Signal flow | CD or turntable |
| a | CD IN L/R | ← | Analog audio L/R output |
| b | DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 2 | ← | Digital coaxial output |
| c | DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 2 | ← | Digital optical output |
Turntable (MM) with no Phono Preamp Built-in
A phono preamp is necessary to connect a turntable that doesn't have a phono preamp built-in.

Turntable with an MC (Moving Coil) Cartridge
An MC head amp and phono preamp are necessary to connect a turntable with an MC (Moving Coil) cartridge.

Connecting a Cassette, CDR, MiniDisc, or DAT Recorder
Step 1:
Choose a connection that matches your recorder (a, b, or c), and then make the connection.

- To connect the recorder digitally for playback, use connections a and b, or a and c.
| Connection | AV receiver | Signal flow | Cassette, CDR, MD, or DAT recorder |
| a | TAPE IN L/R | ← | Analog audio L/R output |
| TAPE OUT L/R | → | Analog audio L/R input | |
| b | DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 2 | ← | Digital coaxial output |
| c | DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 2 | ← | Digital optical output |
Connecting Onkyo R1 Components
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).
Step 2: Make the necessary RI connections (see illustration below).
Step 3: If you're using an MD or CDR component, change the Input Display (see page 48).
With RI (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:
Auto Power On/Standby
When you start playback on a component connected via RI, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via RI will also go on Standby.
Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver's DVD IN (multichannel input), you'll need to press the [MULTI CH] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 50), as the Direct Change RI function selects the DVD IN FRONT L/R jacks.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 85). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver and not the other component.
Notes:
- Use only RI cables for RI connections. RI cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
- Some components have two RI jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional RI-capable components.
- Connect only Onkyo components to RI jacks. Connecting other manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction.
- Some components may not support all R functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

Connecting the Power Cord
- Before connecting the power cord, connect all your speakers and AV components.
- Plug the end of the power cord into a suitable wall outlet.
- Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.


Turning On and Standby
The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the composite video or S-Video MONITOR OUT, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the HT-R667's own display when changing settings.

Up and Running in a Few Easy Steps
To get your system up and running with the minimum of fuss, here's a few pointers to help you configure the AV receiver before you use it for the very first time. These settings only need to be made once.
■ Do the automatic speaker setup—this is essential!
See "Automatic Speaker Setup" on page 42.
Did you connect a component to an HDMI input, component video input, or digital audio input?
If you did, see "HDMI Input Setup" on page 46, "Component Video Input Setup" on page 47, or "Digital Input Setup" on page 47 respectively.
Did you connect an Onkyo MD recorder or CD recorder?
If you did, see "Changing the Input Display" on page 48.





This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
Automatic Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ^® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See page 72)
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area.
① First measurement point
This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.
② Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
③ Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accordingly when prompted.

Push Enter : Next
Notes:
- Before starting Audyssey 2EQ^® Automatic Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.
- When starting the automatic speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.
- Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.
- Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.
- Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

About the Listening Modes
The AV receiver's listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound.
The illustration shows which speakers are active in each listening mode with 7.1 channel speaker system.

Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction. All of the source's audio channels are output as they are.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Mono 1 1 Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx DOLBY Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
- Dolby PLIIx Movie Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, that use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sampling rate of 48kHz . Applications include interactive audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and media servers.
DSD
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-channel audio.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or or
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three 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.
This section explains how to record the input source and how to record audio and video from separate sources.
Notes:
- The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
- Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
- Sources connected to the multichannel DVD input cannot be recorded.
- Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
- DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don't attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
Recording the Input Source
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 26 to 40 for hookup information.
| 1 DVD AUX CD Remote controller DVD CBL/SAT AUX TUNER | Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. See “Which Connections Should I Use?” on page 27 to see which signals can be output and recorded. You can watch the source while recording it. The AV receiver's MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording. |
| 2 | On your recorder, start recording. |
| 3 | On the source component, start playback. |
Note:
- If you select a different input source during recording, that input source will be recorded instead.
Recording from Different AV Sources
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two separate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.
Multiplex/Mono Settings
Multiplex
Input Ch
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
Main: The main channel is output (default).
Sub: The sub channel is output.
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.
Mono
Input Ch
This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.
Left+Right: Both the left and right channels are output (default).
Left: Only the left channel is output.
Right: Only the right channel is output.
PLIx/Neo:6 Settings
PLlIx Music (2 ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you're not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from -3 to +3 . The default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround sound, move it backward.
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you're not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default value is 3.
Neo:6 Music
Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The default value is 2.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (-6dB) , giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
Dolby EX Settings
Dolby EX
This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are handled.
Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX listening mode.
Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible with this format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.).
Theater-Dimensional Setting
■ Listening Angle
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.
Front left speaker

Front right speaker
20^ / 40^
Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

You can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output by the front speakers from -10dB to +10dB in 2 dB steps.
Notes:
- To bypass the bass and treble tone circuits, select the Direct listening mode.
- This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [TONE], [-] , and [+] buttons.
Late Night Function
Late Night
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don't want to disturb anyone.
For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the options are:
Off: Late Night function off (default).
Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.
High: Large reduction in dynamic range.
For Dolby TrueHD sources, the options are:
Auto: The Late Night function is set to On or Off automatically (default).
Off: Late Night function off.
On: Late Night function on.
Notes:
- The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.
- The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.
- The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set to Auto.
CinemaFILTER
Cinema Fltr

Note:
- The CinemaFILTER may not work when used with certain input sources.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
DynamicEQ
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level--not just at reference level.
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.
Note:
Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the Equalizer Settings on page 78 are set to Audyssey.
Music Optimizer
M.Optimizer
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. Use it with music files that use "lossy" compression, such as MP3.
Off: Music Optimizer off (default).
On: Music Optimizer on.
Note:
- The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode is selected.
Speaker Levels
You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listening to an input source.
These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver is set to Standby.
Subwfr (Subwoofer)
You can adjust the level from -15dB to +12dB .
Center
You can adjust the level from -12dB to +12dB .
Notes:
- You cannot use this function while the AV receiver is muted.
- Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 74).
- This setting is not available when the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input signal.
A/V Sync
A/V Sync
When using progressive scanning on your DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds (ms) in 20 milliseconds steps.
Listening Mode Presets
On the Listening Mode Preset menu, you can specify a default listening mode for each of the audio formats supported by each input selector. The AV receiver will then select the listening mode automatically depending on the format of the input signal. You can still select the other listening modes, although the default listening mode will be used the next time you turn on the AV receiver.

- While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speaker set A and B (page 52).
- Check the digital audio output settings on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
- With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player's remote controller.
- If your turntable doesn't have a phono preamp built-in, you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.
- If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a phono preamp.
- Check the speaker settings (pages 74-78).
- If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it to Auto (page 53).
- If there's no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player's output settings, and be sure to select a compatible audio format.
Only the front speakers produce sound
- When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
Only the center speaker produces sound
- If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
The center speaker produces no sound
- When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 66).
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
The surround speakers produce no sound
- When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.
- Depending on the source and the current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try another listening mode (page 59).
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
The surround back speakers produce no sound
- The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Try another listening mode (page 59).
- Not much sound may be produced by the surround back speakers with some sources.
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
- While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 7).
The subwoofer produces no sound
- The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.
- If the source material contains no audio in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
- Check the Speaker Configuration (page 74).
Speaker set B produces no sound
- Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected to an analog input. Check to see if the source component is connected to an analog input.
There's no sound with a certain signal format
- Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
- With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player's remote controller.
Can't get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback
- While speaker set B is on, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 7).
The volume cannot be set to 79
- After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted (pages 42 and 77), the maximum volume may be reduced.
- When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted (page 77), the maximum possible volume may be reduced.
Noise can be heard
- Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio performance, so don't use them.
- An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
- When the Equalizer setting (page 78) is set to Audyssey, the maximum possible volume is reduced by 6dB .
The Late Night function doesn't work
- Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 71).
The DVD multichannel input doesn't work
- Check the multichannel input connections (page 31).
- Make sure that the multichannel input is selected (page 50).
- Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
About DTS signals
- When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.
- When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, as the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear anything, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.
- With some CD players, you won't be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can't be heard
- Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, sound may not be output immediately.
Video
There's no picture
- Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 26).
- Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
- On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.
- The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 28).
- If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT (page 28).
There's no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN
- Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported (page 36).
- If the message "Resolution Error" appears on the AV receiver's display, this indicates that your TV does not support the current video resolution and you need to select another resolution on your DVD player.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn't light up
- Relocate your antenna.
- Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
- When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.
Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
Concrete walls weaken radio signals. - If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn't work
- Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 17).
- Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver and there's no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver's remote control sensor (page 17).
- Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode.
- Make sure you've entered the correct remote control code (page 84).
Can't control other components
- Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode.
- If you've connected an R1-capable Onkyo MD recorder or CD recorder to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or to the CBL/SAT IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to MD or CDR, respectively (see page 48).
- The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.
- With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.
- To control an Onkyo component that's connected via RI, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 85).
- To control an Onkyo component that's not connected via R1, or another manufacturer's component, point the remote controller at that component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 84).
Recording
Can't record
- On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
- To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs
with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).
Others
The sound changes when I connect my headphones
- When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it's already set to Stereo, Mono, or Direct, in which case it stays the same.
How do I change the language of a multiplex source
- On the "Audio Adjust" menu, change the "Multiplex Inpur Ch" setting to Main or Sub (page 69).
The RI functions don't work
- To use RI, you must make an RI connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV receiver, even if they are connected digitally (page 40).
The following settings can be made for the S-Video and composite video inputs
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings.
- While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.
- Use the Left and Right [] / [] buttons to change the setting.
- Press the [SETUP] button when you've finished.
Video Attenuation
This setting can be made for the DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.
If you have a games console connected to the S-Video or composite video input, and the picture isn't very clear, you can attenuate the gain.
Video ATT:0: (default).
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by this unit's malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
Important Note Regarding Video Playback
The AV receiver can upscale component video, S-Video, and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upscaling may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.
In this case, try setting the HDMI Output Resolution setting (page 82) to 480p or 720p . If that doesn't improve the picture quality, try the following:
- If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input, connect your TV to an S-Video output.
If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to a composite video output.
- On the main menu, select "1. Input Assign," and then select "1. HDMI Input."
Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "-----" (page 46).
- On the main menu, select "1. Input Assign,"
and then select "2. Component Video Input" (page 47):
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT Video IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "IN1."
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT Video IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "IN2."
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input or composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "-----".
