Recording Copyright—Unless it's for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with- out the permission of the copyright holder. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user- serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter- gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin- ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel let- tering. Power WARNING BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE

FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-

TION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz). The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times. Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

& HT-$6100_Enbook Page 4 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 4:58 PM Precautions —Continued Speaker Precautions For British models Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark- ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L'or coloured red. IMPORTANT The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the power cord'’s plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse in the plug. For European Models Declaration of Conformity We, ONKYO EUROPE ELECTRONICS GmbH LIEGNITZERSTRASSE 6, 82194 GROEBENZELL, GERMANY declare in own responsibility, that the ONKYO product described in this instruction manual is in compliance with the corresponding technical standards such as EN60065, ENS5013, ENS5020 and EN61000-3-2, -3-3 GROEBENZELL, GERMANY K. MIYAGI ONKYO EUROPE ELECTRONICS GmbH 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 condi- tioner, 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 dam- age, will affect the sound quality. Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti- cal 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 per- sist, 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 to 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 fol- lowing 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:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,

electronic musical instrument, and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati- cally (see page 42) or manually (see page 74). 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 pro- tection 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 (—) termi- nals. 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 termi- nal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. Don't connect a speaker to several terminals. RQ

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.

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)! 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 Syne, 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), "? 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 10 the HDMI input on your TV or projector. #1. DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG'? in 1999. #2.

(Ste 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 46). HE Video Signals 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 Con- nection Formats” on page 28 for more information. H 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). Hint! Notes: + The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVSs 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’1l need 10 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 (1e., 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 components instruction manual for details. 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 players HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

With R1 (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions: Auto Power On/Standby When you start playback on a component connected via 1, 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 10 Standby, all components connected via fRI will also go on Standby.

Frs) SP HT-S6100_Enbook Page 42 Tuesday, July 1. 2008 4:58 PM First Time Setup 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 posi- tion. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob- lems 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, Audysssey 2EQ takes mea- surements at up to three positions within the listening area. (@ First measurement point This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position. ) Second measurement point The right side of the listening area. @) Third measurement point The left side of the listening area. The distances between points (?) and (2) and points (1) and (8) must be at least 1 meter. From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accord- ingly when prompted. Using Audyssey 2EQ@° Notes: + _Ifthe AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the automatic speaker setup starts. Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected. It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto- matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea- surement time varies depending on the speakers. Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup. The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT.

Auto Speaker Setup 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 micro- phone tip pointed directly at the ceil- ing 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 win- dows, silence cell phones, televi- sions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

& HT-S6100_En.book Page 92 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 4:58 PM Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can't resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer. To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode. EtK Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.

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° own display when changing settings. Power Can't turn on the AV receiver + Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall outlet properly. + Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it back in again.

+ The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi- ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon- nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver Stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer. Audio There's no sound or it's very quiet + To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an HDMI input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 46). HDMI audio is passed through the AV receiver and can only be heard from your TV. To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 47). Make sure that speaker A or B is on (page 7). Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 26). Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal (page 21). Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. Check the volume (page 50). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment. If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 51). 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 players 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 con- nect 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 10 Auto (page 53). Ifthere’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD players output settings, and be sure to select a compatible audio format.

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 Audys- sey, the maximum possible volume is reduced by 6 dB. 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 mal- function. When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen- ing 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 any- thing, 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 con- nected 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 recog- nie 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 sig- nals, 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 con- nected. 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 compo- nent 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.

2. Use the Left and Right [-@J/[B-] buttons to change

3. 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 pro- cessing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause itto lockup. Inthe unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall out- let, 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 units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectly. Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

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:

1. Ifthe 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.

and then select “2.
