Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver's superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs or 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.

And you can use THX Surround EX to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

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.

①② Front 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.

③ Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front 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 speakers.

④ ⑤ Surround 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 car level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

⑥ 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.

⑦ ⑧ Surround back 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.

9 10 Front high speakers

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

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Configuration

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

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need 7 speakers and a powered subwoofer.

N u m b e r o f	c	h	a	n	n	e	l	s	2
Front speakers✓✓✓✓✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Center speaker✓✓✓✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround speakers✓✓✓✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround back speaker*1*2					✓			✓
Surround back speakers*2						✓			✓
Front high speakers*2*3							✓	✓	✓

1 If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.
2 Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the same time.
*3 (North American models) When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

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. You can do this automatically ( 24) or manually ( 39) .

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.

3

• 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.

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1 / 2'' to 5 / 8'' (12 to 15mm ) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

Using 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 12mm ) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)

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 SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.

North American models

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer's LINE INPUT jack to your AV receiver's SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack.

Note

• The front high speakers can also be connected to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH SPEAKERS terminals. When doing so, set "Surr Back/ Front High" in Speaker Setup to "Front High" ( 39) .

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 should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

How to record the video

With the connections described above, you cannot record the video through the AV receiver. To make a connection for video recording ( 29)

Connecting Onkyo RI Components

Step 1:

Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection 4 in the hookup examples) ( 16) .

Step 2:

Make the RI connection (see illustration below).

Step 3:

If you're using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display ( 23) .

With R1 (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via RI while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver's remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first ( 61) .

Note

• Use only RI cables for RI connections. RI cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two RI jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional RI-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to R1 jacks. Connecting other manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all RI functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct Change RI functions do not work.
• Do not use RI connections if you use HDMI Control (RIHD) ( 49) .

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.

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

Note

• Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

Tip

• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna.

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.

The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver's display when changing settings.

Video Connection Formats

Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

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).

To by-pass video upconversion in the AV receiver, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and RETURN on the AV receiver. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press RETURN to toggle until "Skip" appears on the display. Release both buttons.

To use the video upconversion in the AV receiver, repeat the above process until "Use" appears on the display and release the buttons.

Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.

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

When you connect audio component to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector ( 37, 38) .

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 video is output by the HDMI outputs.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio component 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.

Depends on the "Audio TV Out" setting ( 49)

Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.

Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level ( 43). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

If "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On" ( 43) , the "Equalizer" setting will be set to "Audyssey" ( 40) . On the other hand, if it is set to "Off", the "Dynamic Volume" setting will be set to "Off" ( 44) .

It takes about 15 minutes to complete Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 3 positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Using Audyssey 2EQ®

Using Audyssey 2EQ to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to 3 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.

① First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

② Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

③ Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 must be at least 1 meter.

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.

Connecting a Recording Component

Note

The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it's in Standby mode.
- If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR's audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR's audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a composite video output.
- The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
- Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/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.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack.

1 Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.
You can watch the source while recording. The AV receiver's MASTER volume control has no effect on recording.
2 On your recorder, start recording.
3 On the source component, start playback. 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 (TV/CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

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

Video signal
Audio signal

1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.
2 Prepare the VCR for recording.
3 Press AUX input selector.
4 Press TV/CD input selector. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5 Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player. The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light ( 8) .

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.

Note

• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

0dB

It should be used when listening to movies.

5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

10dB:

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.

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.

Note

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

Dynamic Volume

Off

Audyssey Dynamic Volume® off.

Light:

Light Compression Mode becomes active.

Medium:

Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

Heavy:

Note

• Even if you have selected other than "Audyssey" in "Equalizer" setting after performing Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup, selecting "On" in the "Dynamic EQ" will change the "Equalizer" setting to "Audyssey" ( 40).
• If you would like to use Audyssey Dynamic Volume, when using THX listening modes, set "Loudness Plus" setting to "Off" and set "Preserve THX Settings" setting to "No" ( 41) .
• When "Dynamic Volume" is set to effective, "Equalizer" is set to "Audyssey" ( 40) and "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On". When "Dynamic EQ" is set to "Off", "Dynamic Volume" becomes "Off" automatically.
• When "Dynamic Volume" is set to effective, the Dynamic Vol indicator will light ( 8) .
• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

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 2EQ 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.

Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ^® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function has been completed.

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, 51 Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

About DTS signals

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.

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.

Specifications and features are subject to change without notice.

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)*1, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)2, so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

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

Audio Return Channel, 3D, 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-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

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

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.

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.

RIHD, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV receiver 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.

About R1HD-compatible components

The following components are RHD-compatible. (As of February 2010) See the Onkyo web site for latest information.
