Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV controller'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. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo's original DSP listening modes. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall 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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Front high left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front left and right speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front left and right speakers.

Front wide left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™ (DSX). They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the front left and right speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it's used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

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 width of the 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

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100cm ) above ear level.

Surround left and right speakers

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 to 3 feet (60 to 100cm ) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Connecting Your Speakers

The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller's PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier's inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier's speakers terminals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Speaker Configuration

For 9.2-channel surround-sound playback, you need nine speakers and two powered subwoofer.

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

• If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L output.
  No matter how many speakers you use, two powered subwooers are recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 56) or manually (see page 90).

Note:

Front high and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Connecting Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV controller's PRE OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you're using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks respectively. Level and distance can be set individually for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to PRE OUT: SW1.

You can also connect a powered subwoofer to the AV controller's balanced SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT XLR, SUBWOOFER 2 PRE OUT XLR jack by using a balanced XLR cable.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks respectively. Level and distance can be set individually for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT XLR.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right, surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right and front high left and right and front wide left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Note:

• Specify crossover frequency for the channel that you want to output in "Speaker Configuration" (see page 90).

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 7.2 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers' woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R outputs feed the front speakers' tweeter terminals.
• Once you've completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the "Speakers Type(Front)" setting to "Bi-Amp" to enable bi-amping (see page 53).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers' tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

See your multichannel power amplifier's instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

Connecting Antenna

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 controller won't pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown. (North American models)

(European and Asian models)

Once your AV controller 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 23).

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 antenna 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 controller 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 controller, 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 23).

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 outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the outdoor antenna should be right 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 controller'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.

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/BD 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, and 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 controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ^2 , so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

The AV controller's HDMI interface is based on the following standard:

x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

2-channel linear PCM (32-192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS Express, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your DVD/BD players must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

Onkyo RHD for System Control

RIHD, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV controller can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, operation with components other than RIHD -compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

• Set "HDMI Control (RIHD)" to "On" (page 109).
• See "Controlling a TV" (page 137) and "Controlling a DVD Player or DVD Recorder" (page 138) for operation.

Notes:

• Do not connect the R1HD-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the linked operations work properly.

a. DVD/BD player is up to three.
b. DVD/BD recorder is up to three.
c. Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.

• Do not connect the AV controller to the other AV controller /AV amplifier via HDMI.
• When the R1HD-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not guaranteed.
• The R1HD control does not support HDMI OUT SUB. Use HDMI OUT MAIN instead.

About Copyright Protection

The AV controller supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ^2 , a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV controller via HDMI must also support HDCP.

1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG3 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): Lead 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 controller's HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2:

Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 49).

Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI MAIN OUT and SUB 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 controller. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (see page 108).

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV's speakers:

• Set the "TV Control" setting to "On" (see page 109) for an RUHD-compatible TV.
• Set the "Audio TV Out" setting to "On" (see page 108) when the TV is not compatible with R1HD or the "TV Control" setting to "Off".
• Set your DVD/BD 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 guaranteed.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV controller, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV controller). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV controller or the sound may be cut off.
• When the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (see page 108) to hear from your TV's speakers, by controlling the AV controller's volume, the sound will be output from the AV controller's speakers, too. When the "TV Control" setting is set to "On" to hear from speakers of R1HD-compatible TV, by controlling the AV controller's volume, the AV controller's speakers will produce sound while the TV's speakers are muted. To stop the AV controller's speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV's settings, or turn down the AV controller's volume.
• 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 Both Audio & Video

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD/BD player and other AV components to the AV controller, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the AV controller.

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV controller 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.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV controller 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.

The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the "Monitor Out" setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.

For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).

It is also recommended that you press the [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV controller at the same time. Select "Skip" in the "VideoProcessor" setting by pressing the [RETURN] button repeatedly on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the same button at the same time.

■ "Monitor Out" Setting Set to "HDMI Main" or "HDMI Sub"

With the "Monitor Out" setting set to "HDMI Main" or "HDMI Sub" (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use the "HDMI Main" or "HDMI Sub" setting if you connect the AV controller's HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to your TV.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Note:

If not connected to the same output you have selected in the "Monitor Out" setting, the "Monitor Out" setting will be automatically switched to "Analog" (see page 47). In this case, the set

ting of the output resolution will be that for HDMI output (see page 47). However, it will be switched to "1080i" when "1080p" is selected, and to "Through" when "Auto" is selected.

■ "Monitor Out" Setting Set to "Both", "Both(Main)" or "Both(Sub)"

With the "Monitor Out" setting set to "Both", "Both(Main)" or "Both(Sub)" (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for both HDMI outputs. Use the "Both", "Both(Main)" or "Both(Sub)" setting if you connect the AV controller's HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT SUB to your TVs.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Both: Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs at the resolution supported by both TVs. You cannot select "Resolution" setting. The picture adjust setting will be that for "HDMI Main".

Both (Main): Video signals are output from both

HDMI outputs but HDMI OUT MAIN will become a priority; depending on the resolution, video signals may not be output from HDMI OUT SUB.

Both (Sub): Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs but HDMI OUT SUB will become a priority; depending on the resolution, video signals may not be output from HDMI OUT MAIN.

Note:

The "Monitor Out" setting will be automatically switched to "Analog" (see page 47) if not connected to both outputs when "Both" is selected or if not connected to a priority output when "Both(Main)" or "Both(Sub)" is selected.

“Monitor Out” Setting Set to “Analog”

With the "Monitor Out" setting set to "Analog" (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this setting if you connect the AV controller's COMPO-NENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT to your TV.

Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is downconverted to composite video. Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

This signal flow also applies when the "Resolution" setting is set to "Through" (see page 47).

Video Signal Flow and the Resolution Setting

When the "Monitor Out" setting is set to "Analog" (see page 47), if the "Resolution" setting is set to anything other than "Through" (see page 47), the video signal flow will be as shown here, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective analog input signals as they are. HDMI input signals are not output.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV controller by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV controller 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 TV/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.

Step 3:

If you're using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the Input Display (see page 55).

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 controller is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV controller 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 controller automatically selects that component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV controller's remote controller to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV controller's remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 136).

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 controller. 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.
• While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change RI functions do not work.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the AV controller 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 controller into a different branch circuit.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV controller. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the AV controller and should not be used with any other equipment.
• Never disconnect the power cord from the AV controller while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the AV controller.

Step 1:

Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone,

Audyssey MultEQ XT 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 MultEQ XT 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 MultEQ XT allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ^TM , which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 96).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to "On",

Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ becomes available.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ XT to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight positions within the listening area.

First measurement point

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Second-eighth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to eight positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.

When you've finished, press the [ENTER] button.

Notes:

• Before starting Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction and 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 room correction and 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).

Using RDS (European models)

RDS only works in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

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

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 AV controller supports four 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. Pressing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 70).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 70).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 70).

Notes:

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV controller 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.

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs 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.
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 28 to 42 for hookup information.

1 DVD/BD GAME TV/TAPE PHONE ON your recorder, start recording.	Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The AV controller's MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.
3	On the source component, start playback. If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TV/ TAPE, TUNER, CD or PHONO) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX1 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

: video signal

:audio signal

1	Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.
2	Prepare the VCR for recording.
3	Press the [AUX 1] input selector button.
4	Press the [CD] input selector button. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

See "About the Listening Modes" on page 83 for detailed information about the listening modes.

• The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your DVD player is connected to the AV controller with a digital audio connection (coaxial, optical, or HDMI).
• The listening modes you can select depend on the format of the input signal. To check the format, see "Displaying Source Information" on page 63.

About the Listening Modes

The AV controller's listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound.

Pure Audio

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.)

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

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.

Multichannel

This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.

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.

In OFF mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds reference level. This enables a more perceptually flat listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however, prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher gain levels.

Notes:

• If the "Dolby Volume" setting is set to "Off", this setting cannot be selected.
• During Half Mode ON playback, Dolby Volume does not apply a bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds reference level thereby boosting perception of high and low frequencies.

DTS

Neo:6 Music

Center Image 0 to 5 (default: 2)

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.

Setting a value "0" in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Audyssey

For "Dynamic EQ", "Reference Level" and "Dynamic Volume", you cannot change the settings before completing Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

Dynamic EQ

Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQTM off (default).

On: Audyssey Dynamic EQTM on.

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.

Reference Level

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that -30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey MultEQ® will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

0 dB: This is the default setting and should be used when listening to movies.
5 dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.
10 dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.
15 dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Note:

If "Dynamic EQ" setting is set to "Off", this setting cannot be selected.

Dynamic Volume (see page 56)

Off: Audyssey Dynamic VolumeTM off (default).

Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.

Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.

Note:

After Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup is completed, even if "Equalizer" setting is not set to "Audyssey", when "Dynamic EQ" setting is set to "On", "Equalizer" settings is set to "Audyssey". When "Dynamic Volume" is set to effective, "Equalizer" setting is set to "Audyssey" and "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On". When "Dynamic EQ" is set to "Off", "Dynamic Volume" becomes "Off" automatically.

Soundstage -3dB, -2dB, -1dB, Reference (default), +1dB, +2dB, +3dB

Adjusts the soundstage when using Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™.

Note:

If the "Center" setting is set to "None", or both "Front High" and "Front Wide" settings are set to "None" (page 90), this setting cannot be selected.

Theater-Dimensional

Listening Angle

Wide: Select if the listening angle is greater than 30 degrees (default).

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is less than 30 degrees.

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.

Front left speaker

LFE Level

With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for Dolby Digital, DTS, multichannel PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DSD sources.

If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to -20dB or - dB.

Dolby Digital ^1 , DTS ^2,2 , Multich PCM ^3 , Dolby TrueHD ^4 , DTS-HD Master Audio ^5 , DSD ^6

The level can be set to - dB, -20 dB, -10 dB, or 0 dB (default).

Notes:

1 Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources.
2 Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS and DTS-HD High Resolution sources.
3 Sets the level of the LFE channel for multichannel PCM sources. (Multichannel PCM is input via HDMI.)

About NET

The AV controller is network-ready, which means you can hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or media server. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can also enjoy Internet radio.

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

The AV controller's Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Although it's possible to play music on a computer that's connected to the network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so wired connections are recommended.

Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supplying IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV controller needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you're unsure.

CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the AV controller to your home network.

Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you're unsure.

Notes:

• To receive Internet radio with the AV controller, your broadband Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web. Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.
• The AV controller uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see page 121.

• The AV controller does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-compatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the AV controller (see page 121).

Connecting the AV Controller

To connect the AV controller to your home network, plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV controller's ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.

The following diagram shows how you can connect the AV controller to your home network. In this example, it's connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

Listening to Internet Radio

To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV controller to a network with Internet access (page 115).

You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the AV controller from your computer and selecting stations in your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.

Internet radio URLs in the following formats are supported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depending on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet radio station, you may not be able to listen to some stations.

vTuner Internet Radio

• This unit includes the full vTuner Internet Radio Service at no additional charge. Once you have connected your unit to the Internet you can select vTuner Internet Radio to search for and play Internet radio stations and podcasts at any time. To enhance your Internet radio experience, the http://onkyo.vtuner.com/ portal is available to you as an easy way to browse to find stations, set up/organize your favorites, add your own stations, get help, etc. After the first time you try Internet radio/vTuner on your unit you can use the MAC Address of your unit to create a member login account (email address and password) on the http://onkyo.vtuner.com/ portal. To verify your MAC Address, please see Network Settings (page 121).

Network Settings

Note:

When modifying network settings, after modifying it is necessary to execute "Save".

This section explains how to configure the AV controller's network settings manually.

If your router's DHCP server is enabled, you don't need to change any of these settings, as the AV controller is set use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router's DHCP server is disabled, for example, you're using static IP addresses, you'll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What's DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV controller, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What's DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

• Even if you repeatedly press the remote controller's [ZONE] button to select zones, the last zone selection will be retained once you have switched to other components by pressing other REMOTE MODE buttons after pressing the [ZONE] button.

Using the 12V Triggers

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trigger-capable components automatically when they are selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that they activate when a connected component is selected as the input source for the main room, Zone 2, Zone 3, or any combination of rooms.

When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts and 150 milliamperes max. at TRIGGER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at TRIGGER OUT B and C).

Hookup

• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller's 12V TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12~V trigger input on a connected component.

When several components are turned on simultaneously by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of components, a large amount of current may be drawn momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger delay is eliminating the "thump" noise that's sometimes heard when a source component is turned on. Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so that it's the last component to be turned on will accomplish this.

Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV controller with the remote controller while you're in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you'll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.

• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.

These kits can also be used when there isn't a clear line of sight to the AV controller's remote sensor, such as when it's installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2/3

In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2/3 picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them through to the AV controller in the main room via the connecting block.

The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be connected to the AV controller's IR IN A or B jack, as shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up to two IR receivers can be connected.

Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV controller located in the cabinet via the connecting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV controller's IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other component's remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at the AV controller's IR IN A or B jack are fed through to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up by the AV controller's remote control sensor are not output.

The IR emitter should be connected to the AV controller's IR OUT jack, as shown below.

You can use the AV controller's remote controller (RC-747M) to control your other AV components, including those made by other manufacturers. This section explains how to enter the remote control code for a component that you want to control: DVD, TV, VCR, etc.

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
  Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (pages 76 to 82).

Can't get 6.2/7.2 playback

• If no front high, front wide and surround back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2/3 speakers are being used, 6.2/7.2 playback is not possible.
• You can not always select all of the listening modes, depending on the number of the speakers connected (pages 76 to 82).

The speaker volume cannot be set as required (The volume cannot be set to +18.0 dB)

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 105).
• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted to high positive values (page 92), then the maximum master volume possible may be reduced. Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup has been completed (page 57).

Noise can be heard

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don't do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

The Late Night function doesn't work

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 112).

• Check the multichannel input connections (page 33).
• Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to the input selector (page 52).
• Make sure that the multichannel input is selected (page 74).
• Check the audio output settings on your source component.

About DTS signals

• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-stream stops, the AV controller 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, because the AV controller does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won't be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV controller. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV controller doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
• 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.

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, audio output may not start immediately.

Video

There's no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 24).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected (pages 27 to 41).
• If your TV is connected to the HDMI output, set the "Monitor Out" setting other than "Analog" (page 47), and select "- - - - - " in the "HDMI Input Setup" on page 49 to watch composite video, S-Video, and component video sources.
• If your TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT, S MONITOR OUT, or V MONITOR OUT, set the "Monitor Out" setting to "Analog" (page 47), and select "- - - - " in the "Component Video Input Setup" on page 50 to watch composite video and S-Video sources.
• If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 50), and your TV must be connected to either the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT (pages 27 and 31).
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 49), and your TV must be connected to the HDMI outputs (page 27).
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV controller is connected is selected.
• If you selected "Both (Main)" or "Both (Sub)" in the "Monitor Out" setting, no picture may appear on your TV that is connected to a secondary HDMI output (not a priority HDMI output). In this case, change the setting to "Both" (page 47).

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 guaranteed (page 27).
• When the "Monitor Out" setting is set to "Analog", and the "Resolution" setting is set to anything other than "Through" (page 47), no video is output by the HDMI outputs.
• When the "Resolution" (page 48) is set to any resolution not supported by the TV, no video is output by the HDMI outputs.
• If the message "Resolution Error" appears on the AV controller'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.

The onscreen menus don't appear

• If your TV is connected to the analog outputs, set the "Monitor Out" setting to "Analog" (page 47).
• (European and Asian models) Specify the TV system used in your area in the "TV Format Setup" on page 54.

• Make sure that the AV controller is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.

• If the AV controller is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.

• Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (pages 15 and 137 to 143).

• When using the remote controller to control other manufacturers' AV components, some buttons may not work as expected.
• Make sure you've entered the correct remote control code (page 135).
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV controller and remote controller (page 107).

Can't control other components

• If it's an Onkyo component, make sure that the RI cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. Connecting only an RI cable won't work (page 42).
• Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (pages 15 and 137 to 143).
• If you've connected an RI-capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, RI Dock to the TV/TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or an RI Dock to the GAME IN or VCR/DVR IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the display to MD, CDR, or DOCK (page 55).

If you cannot operate it, you will need to enter the appropriate remote control code (page 135).

• To control another manufacturer's component, point the remote controller at that component.
• If none of the codes work, use the Learning function to learn the commands of the other component's remote controller (page 146).
• 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 controller. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 136).
• To control an Onkyo component that's not connected via Rl, or another manufacturer's component, point the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 135).
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

Can't learn commands from another remote controller

• When learning commands, make sure that the transmitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at each other.
• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot be learned, especially those that contain several instructions.

• The iPod cannot be operated while it's displaying the Apple logo.
• Make sure you've selected the right remote mode.
• When you use the AV controller's remote controller, point it toward your amp.
• If you still can't control your iPod, start playback by pressing your iPod's Play button. Remote operation should then be possible.
  Try resetting your iPod.
• Depending on your iPod, some buttons may not work as expected.
• You can't control your iPod if the battery is extremely low. Use the iPod after recharging for a while.

The AV controller unexpectedly selects your iPod as the input source

• Always pause iPod playback before selecting a different input source. If playback is not paused, the Direct Change function may select your iPod as the input source by mistake during the transition between tracks.

Recording

Can't record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV controller, 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).
• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

Zone 2/3

There's no sound

• Only components connected to analog inputs can be played in Zone 2/3.

Music Server and Internet Radio

Can't access the server or Internet radio

• Check the network connection between the AV controller and your router or switch.
• Make sure that your modem and router are properly connected, and make sure they are both turned on.
• Make sure the server is up and running and compatible with the AV controller (page 120).
• Check the "Network Settings" (page 121).

Playback stops while listening to music files on the server

• Make sure your server is compatible with the AV controller (page 120).
• If you download or copy large files on your computer, playback may be interrupted. Try closing any unused programs, use a more powerful computer, or use a dedicated server.
• If the server is serving large music files to several networked devices simultaneously, the network may become overloaded and playback may be interrupted. Reduce the number of playback devices on the network, upgrade your network, or use a switch instead of a hub.

Can't connect to the AV controller from a Web browser

• If you're using DHCP, your router may not always allocate the same IP address to the AV controller, so if you find that you can't connect to a server or Internet radio station, recheck the AV controller's IP address on Network screen.
• Check the "Network settings" (page 121).

USB Mass Storage Device Playback

Can't access the music files on a USB device

• Make sure the USB device is plugged in properly.
• The AV controller supports USB devices that support the USB mass storage device class. However, playback may not be possible with some USB devices even if they conform to the USB mass storage device class.
• USB memory devices with security functions cannot be played.

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, Direct, Pure Audio or DTS Surround Sensation.

The speaker distance cannot be set as required

• In some cases, corrected values suitable for home theater use may be set automatically.

The display doesn't work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

• Use the "Multiplex" setting on the "Audio Adjust" menu to select "Main" or "Sub" (page 94).

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 controller, even if they are connected digitally (page 42).
• While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is selected, the RI functions don't work.

The functions Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change don't work for components connected via RI

• These functions don't work when Zone 2/3 is turned on.

When performing "Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup", the measurement fails showing the message "Ambient noise is too high."

• This can be caused by any malfunction in your speaker unit. Check if the unit produces normal sounds.

The following settings can be made for the S-Video and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the AV controller to make these settings.

1. While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.
2. Use the Left and Right [] / [] buttons to change the setting.
3. Press the input selector button for the input source that you want to set when you've finished.

Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD/BD, VCR/

DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME or AUX1 input.

If you have a games console connected to the

S-Video and composite video input, and the picture isn't very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:OFF: (default).

Video ATT:ON: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

The AV controller 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 five 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 the 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 controller to Standby.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV controller can upconvert component video, S-Video, and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI outputs. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try the following:

1 If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to the COMPONENTVIDEOMONITOROUT.

If the video source is connected to an S-Video input, connect your TV to a MONITOR OUT S.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.

2 On the main menu, select "1. Input/Output Assign", and then select "2. HDMI Input".

Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "---" (page 49).

3 On the main menu, select "1. Input/Output Assign", and then select "3. Component Video Input" (page 50).

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT Video IN1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "IN1".

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT Video IN2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "IN2".

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT Video IN3, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "IN3".

If the video source is connected to an S-Video input or composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to "---".

If "Monitor Out" setting is set to "Analog", press [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV controller at the same time. Select "Skip" in the "VideoProcessor" setting by pressing the [RETURN] button repeatedly on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the same button at the same time. If you select "Use", the AV controller will output video signals from the video processor.
