Connections Connecting the AV Receiver Connecting the Speaker Cables The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals. Tip

  • You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are connected in the “Speaker Configuration” menu (➔ page 44) or during Audyssey 2EQ

Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 30).

  • The speakers you can connect will differ depending on the speaker system that you have. ■ Screw-type speaker terminals Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.) ■ Banana Plugs (North American models)
  • If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
  • Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal. ■ Push-type speaker terminals Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

Speaker Configuration The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings automatically (➔ page 30) or manually (➔ page 43).

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the same time. Connecting the Speaker Cables The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose. Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers:

  • You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
  • Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
  • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
  • Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
  • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
  • Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. Number of channels 2345677 Front speakers ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔ Center speaker ✔✔✔✔✔ Surround speakers ✔✔✔✔✔ Surround back speaker *1*2

  • Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
  • Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals. Using Dipole Speakers You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back 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 dipole speakers (A) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (B) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown. Using a Powered Subwoofer 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. Tip
  • If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Connecting AV components

  • Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
  • Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
  • Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
  • To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables. AV Cables and Jacks

Available sampling rate for PCM input signal (stereo/mono) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. In case of an HDMI connection, 176.4/192 kHz is also available. Note

  • The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.
  • The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.Caution
  • To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

Using Basic Functions With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey Dynamic Volume

(➔ pages 48, 49). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.•“Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the measurement from three positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment.The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes.Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.Measurement procedureTo create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. 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. a First measurement positionAlso referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.b Second measurement positionThe right side of the listening area.c Third measurement positionThe left side of the listening area. The distances from position a to b and a to c must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft). Note

  • Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference. ` 15dB: 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. 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 2EQ

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. Audyssey 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.

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 well by itself. However, if Audyssey 2EQ is on, the two technologies work in tandem 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 Volume works fine by itself, but can also be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on, Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts the volume.50

IntelliVolume ■ IntelliVolume ` –12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps. With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each input selector individually. This is useful if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. Use e/r to set the level. If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use e to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use r to increase its input level. A/V Sync ■ A/V Sync ` 0msec to 800msec in 10 msec steps.

Network This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’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 receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), 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 receiver, 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

■ MAC Address This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed. ■ DHCP ` Enable ` Disable This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings. Note

  • If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself. ■ IP Address ` Class A: “10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255” ` Class B: “172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255” ` Class C: “192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255” Enter a static IP address provided by your ISP. Most routers use Class C IP addresses. ■ Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typically 255.255.255.0). ■ Gateway Enter the gateway address provided by your ISP. ■ DNS Server Enter the DNS server address provided by your ISP. ■ Proxy URL To use a Web proxy, enter its URL here. ■ Proxy Port If you’re using a Web proxy, enter a proxy port number here. ■ Network Control ` Enable ` Disable This setting enables or disables control over the network.

While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output from the speakers. If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format. 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. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer. Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged. Not all listening modes use all speakers. 34Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels. Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not still connected.

The input signal format is set to “PCM” or “DTS”. Set it to “Off”.

■ Only the front speakers produce sound ■ Only the center speaker produces sound ■ The surround speakers produce no sound ■ The center speaker produces no sound ■ The front high and surround back speakers produce no sound ■ The subwoofer produces no sound ■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format ■ Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback ■ The speaker volume cannot be set as required ■ Noise can be heard ■ The Late Night function doesn’t work ■ About DTS signals ■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set to “Left / Right”.

Check the Speaker Configuration. 44 If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.

In the Mono listening mode, only the center speaker output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set to “Center”.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 44 When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.

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. 44 When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound.

In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set to “Left / Right”.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 44 Depending on the current listening mode, no sound may be produced by the front high and surround back speakers. Select another listening mode.

Depending on the sources, the sound produced by the front high and surround back speakers may be weak.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 44 While the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1- channels and the front high and surround back speakers produce no sound.

When you play a source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 44 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. 34–38 If no surround back speakers and front high speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.

Depending on the number of connected speakers, it is not always possible to select all of the listening modes. 34–38 Check to see if a maximum volume has been set. 53 If the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted to high positive values, then the maximum master volume possible may be reduced. Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ

Room Correction and Speaker Setup has been performed. 30, 44 Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and the like may degrade the audio performance, so refrain from doing it.

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, 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 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 receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

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.

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. —69

These functions don’t work when Zone 2 is turned on.

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

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in. 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 receiver to standby.72

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether. In this case, try the following: Important Note Regarding Video Playback

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

On the main menu, select “Input/Output Assign”, and then select “Component Video Input” (➔ page 43). If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”. If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2”. If the video source is connected to a composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “-----”.73

Network/USB Features The following diagram shows how you can connect the AV receiver 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. ■ Ethernet Network For the 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 it is recommended to use wired connections. ■ Ethernet Router A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying of 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 receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.
  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
  • A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is recommended. Some routers have a built-in modem, 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 receiver 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. Note
  • To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, 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 receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see “Network” (➔ page 56).
  • The AV receiver 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 receiver (➔ page 56).

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide. Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality. Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. The composite video and component video outputs carry their respective input signals as they are. When you connect a video component to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (➔ page 42). Tip

  • For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input passing through to component video output). ■ Signal Selection If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present. In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs. However, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and the video is output by the HDMI output. The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings. Video Connection Formats

Audio components can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog VCR/DVR 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. Audio Connection Formats

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, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM). The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.) The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

  • 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-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio) Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats. The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

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.

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. Note

  • The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
  • 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. The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following: Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM. Supported Audio Formats About Copyright Protection82
