The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when i?s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system, Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

SP TX-SR573_En.book Page 15 Wednesday, August 3, 2005 10:51 AM Connecting Your Speakers |

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set À and speaker set B.

Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room, and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS sources. To get the best surround sound experience, each speaker must be positioned at a specific location within the room, as shown in the following illustration. Note that while speaker set B is on, speaker set À is reduced to 5.1-channel playback. Speaker set B can be installed in another room and positioned like normal stereo speakers or however you like. Speaker

set B only outputs sources that are connected to an analog input.

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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightiy so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

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.

Subwooter 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 posi- tion, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In

general, a good bass sound % k X can be obtained by install- ’ ing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.

— Surround back left and right speakers These speakers further enhance the realism of sur- round sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. They are essential to enjoy certain listening modes e., Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES). Position them behind the listener about 2-

3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level. Make sure that the lis- tening position is within the range of the speakers.

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 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level. Ideally, they should be equally spaced from the listener.

SP TX-SRE73_En.book Page 16 Wednesday, August 3, 2005 10:51 AM Connecting Your Speakers —Continued

For the best surround-sound experience, you should con- nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers: | 2 n

Front left Front right 7

Surround back left l'A Surround back right 7

*If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it 10 the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub- woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.

Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 32). To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and each speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see

page 52). In addition, you should set the volume level of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position (see page 52.)

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (-) speaker terminals are all black.)

Speaker terminal Color Front left White Front right Red Center Green Surround left Blue Surround right Gray Surround back left Brown Surround back right Tan

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each Speaker cable in accordance with the above table. AI you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers: + You can connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev- els for a long period of time, the built-in amp-protec- tion circuit may be activated.

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (—) terminals to only nega- tive () 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 termi- nal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Don't connect a speaker to several terminals.

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.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you”Il need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

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.

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’Il 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 à commer- cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 19).

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 out- door FM antenna instead (see page 19).

SP TX-SRE73_En.book Page 19 Wednesday, August 3, 2005 10:51 AM Connecting Antenna—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead.

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 possi- ble 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 haz- ards.

ΠUsing a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

ICS best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir- cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting Audio & 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 | 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, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Video Connection Formats

Audio Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the lat- ter offering the best picture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not by any composite video or component video outputs.

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.

For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

About the Listening Modes

With its surround-sound decoders and DSP modes, the AV receiver can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

The AV receivers surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Frontieft Center Frontright Subwoofer

Surround Surround … Surround left backlef/ right right

In this mode, the input source is output as it is, with min- imal processing for a faithful sound. The bass and treble functions are bypassed.

In this mode, the input source is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or to select the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources contain- ing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic Il Movie 12m Use this mode with DVDs and vid- D{[pasr summer) eos that bear the Dolby Surround

logo, or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use it to create 5.1 surround from stereo movies and TV shows.

Dolby Pro Logic Il Music Use this mode to create 5.1 surround from stereo music sources, such as CDs and DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx If you've connected surround back speakers to the AV receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx can create 7.1 surround from stereo music or 5.1 movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx offers a well defined, natural multichannel surround- sound experience, putting the listener in a seamless enve- lope of sound. The added drama and natural sound enhances the listening experience with music, movies, and games.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation: Movie mode for watching movies, Music mode for listening to music, and Game mode for playing games on a games console with stereo outputs.

With Dolby Digital, you can experience the same thrilling sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DIGITAL Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital EX includes a surround- back channel, for 6.1 surround. It offers a heightened sense of space, and added real- ism with moving sounds, especially those that move 360 degrees or fly overhead. Dolby Digital EX can also be enjoyed on a 5.1 system, in which case the surround- back channel sound is split between the surround left and surround right speakers. Use this mode with DVDs that feature 5.1 and bear the Dolby Digital logo.

This format offers a surround sound experi- _» ence with exceptional fidelity. It offers six discrete channels for 5.1 surround, and uses less compression for a truly faithful sound. You’1l need a DTS-capable DVD player to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

This mode offers very high audio quality. Use it with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DIGITAL SUR OoND DTS-ES Discrete This is DTS with an added surround back

channel for 6.1 surround. With the addi- tional surround back channel, it offers seven independent digital channels, providing a real sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs and DVDs that feature DTS 6.1

and bear the DTS-ES logo.

DTS-ES Matri: This is DTS with a surround back channel for 6.1 surround. Use it 10 create 6.1 sur LES round from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1 material already contains surround back channel information, the back channel can be reconstructed for real 6.1 surround. Use this mode with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTS- ES.

Neo:6 Æ This mode creates 6.1 surround from stereo sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels and excellent separa- tion. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for watching movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1 surround. Use it with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field, something that cannot be done with conventional stereo. Use it with stereo sources and music CDs.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie = 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, pro- viding presence.

Orchestra = Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged = Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu- lates the experience of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix == Suitable for rock and 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 == Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo Æ Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.

Full Mono …_ AI speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

ENTER SETUP CINE FLTR L'NIGHT Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

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.

1 Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, and then press the [L NIGHT] button repeatedly to

Ÿ select: Off: Late Night function off. CO Low: Small reduction in dynamic range. High: Big reduction in dynamic range. Notes:

+ The effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect.

+ The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Using the CinemaFILTER With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro- duction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, DTS+Neo:6, and DTS+Dolby EX.

Use the Left and Right [-«}/[b-] buttons to change the setting. Press the Down [Y] button to select the next setting.

Repeat step 3 for the other set- tings.

Press the [SETUP] button. Setup closes.

Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower set- tings move it backward.

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.

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, 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 adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you 10 adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.

Input Channel Settings

= Multiplex This setting determines which channel is output from a stereo multiplex source. 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. M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source. L+R: Both the left and right channels are output

(default). L: Only the left channel is output. R: Only the right channel is output.

PLII & PL IIx Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

H Panorama With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic Ix Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic Ix Music listening mode. The default value is 3.

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 (default value is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (6 dB), 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 attenu- ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

M Dolby D EX This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on. Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode is used (default). Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital EX.

Digital Signal Formats

The following table shows the display indicator for each digital signal format.

Format Display Dolby Digital Duo

PCM PCM Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto-

matically. However, if you experience either of the fol-

lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you

can specify the signal format as either PCM or DTS:

+_Ifthe beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try the PCM setting.

+ Ifnoise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try the DTS setting.

Press the [SETUP] button.

Don't forget to turn down the volume if you turned it up while setting the levels.

+ A quick way to adjust the speaker levels is to press the remote controller’s [TI ONE] button to turn on the test tone. Use the [LEVEL-] and [LEVEL+] but- tons to adjust the levels, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the speakers.

If the multichannel DVD input is selected (page 35), in step 2, “3. MultiLevel” appears instead of “3. Level Cal,” and you can adjust the level of each channel of the multichannel DVD input. These level settings are independent of the Speaker Configuration settings on page 32.

Learning Commands from Other Remote Controllers

The AV receiver’s remote controller can receive and learn commands from other remote controllers. By trans- mitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can learn it and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [D] button is pressed in CD mode.

You can also use this function to learn individual com- mands after entering a remote controller code (page 54).

Remote indicator 1 1,4

1 While holding down the REMOTE MODE button for the mode in which you want to use the com- mand, press the [ON] button. The Remote indicator lights up.

2 On the AV receiver’s remote con- troller, press the button you want to learn the new command.

3 Point the remote controllers at each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5-15 cm) apart, and then press and hold the button whose com- mand you want to learn until the Remote indicator flashes. Ifthe command is learned successfully, the Remote indicator flashes twice.

About 2 to 6 inches (5-15 cm)

4 To learn more commands, repeat steps 2 and 3. Press any REMOTE MODE button when you've finished.

+ The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV [1/1], TV CH [+J/-1, [TV INPUT}, TV VOL[AVIY]. The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn approx- imately 70-90 commands, although, this will be reduced by commands that use a lot of memory. Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on are preprogrammed with commandés for controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can learn new com- mands, and you can restore the preprogrammed com- mands by resetting the remote controller (page 55). To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure.

Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.

When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned commands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.

Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX (page 34). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range

for precise adjustment.

If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 42).

While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 43).

Check the digital audio output settings on the con- nected device. On some games 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.

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 phono preamp.

Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels (pages 52, 53).

The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 53).

Only the front speakers produce sound

+ When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

+ Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 32).

Only the center speaker produces sound

If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx

Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 32).

The surround speakers produce no sound When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 44). Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode. Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 32).

The multichannel DVD input doesn't work

+ Check the multichannel DVD input connections (page 23).

+ To select the multichannel DVD input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button.

+ Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

About DTS signals + When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS lil

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, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, 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- nize 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 mal- function.

Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).

Make sure that each video component is properly con- nected.

+ 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 21).

On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn't appear

Relocate your antenna.

Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com- puter.

Listen to the station in mono (page 36).

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.

To use fRI, you must make an FRI connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi- tally (page 29).

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 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 the units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectiy.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
