■Standard speaker placement of the speakers system (standard speaker placement of the SPEAKERS A system for North American and South American model)
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.
Front
The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.
The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level.
Surround
The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle.
Subwoofer
Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds.
The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.

While listening to an FM program (see page 38), extend the antenna (aerial) and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received, then secure the antenna (aerial) with push pins in the position with the least distortion.
■ Adjusting the position of the AM indoor antenna (aerial)
While listening to an AM program (see page 38), set the antenna (aerial) in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power cords (mains leads).
Note
Insert one end of the AM antenna (aerial) cord to either of the AM antenna (aerial) connectors and the other end to the other connector. There is no difference between one end of the AM antenna (aerial) cord and the other end, unlike the speaker cords which have positive and negative poles.
Connecting an AM Outdoor Antenna (Aerial)
An outdoor antenna (aerial) will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above a window or outside.
Leave the supplied AM indoor antenna (aerial) connected.
Note
To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install an outdoor antenna (aerial).

FM outdoor antenna (aerial)

Notes
• Install the antenna (aerial) well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received.
- Keep the antenna (aerial) away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
- It is dangerous to put the antenna (aerial) close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
- To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna (aerial).
■ Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna (aerial) for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna (aerial), use a directional linkage type splitter.

- To put the DVD Receiver in the standby mode, press STANDBY/ON on the DVD Receiver, or STANDBY on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Receiver in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction.
- While in the STANDBY mode, the DVD Receiver can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press POWER on the DVD Receiver to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Receiver.
- Setting the STANDBY button to standby does not shut off the power completely.
■Setting the TV System (Other than North American model)
The default setting of the DVD Receiver is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO.
If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
| Disc Output format | ||||
| Type | Format | Position of TV SYSTEM mode | ||
| NTSC PAL | AUTO | |||
| DVD | NTSC | NTSC | MOD. PAL | NTSC |
| PAL | —— | PAL | PAL | |
| Video CD | NTSC | NTSC | MOD. PAL | NTSC |
| PAL | NTSC PAL | PAL | ||
| CD, No disc | NTSC PAL | NTSC or PAL | ||
1 Switch the DVD Receiver into standby.
2 Hold down ▶▶then press STANDBY/ON until the display indicates the new setting to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO → NTSC
NTSC → PAL
PAL→AUTO
Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change.
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
- SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.
- If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC PAL conversion.
Setting Up the DVD Receiver
The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD Receiver ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD Receiver to enjoy DVDs. The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

Enjoying the Sound Effects
The surround sound of the DVD Receiver enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.
Before using any sound effect, make sure the Speaker Setup configurations have been set (see pages 29-33).
The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See “Connecting Speakers” on pages 18, 19 and “Positioning Speakers” on page 20.
Following are the sound systems the DVD Receiver can reproduce.
■ DOLBY DIGITAL Surround and DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
Recommended speaker setup

This 5.1 channel digital surround format enables you to individually play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound like that heard in theaters and concert halls.
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround
DVD videos that have the DIPARV MARK are recorded using this system.
To playback DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound from connected equipment, you must make the digital connection in addition to the above speaker configuration.
DTS Surround
DVD videos and audio CDs that have the mark are recorded using this system.
To playback DTS Surround sound from connected equipment such as an LD player, you must make the digital connection in addition to the above speaker configuration.
Notes on DTS Surround
- If you play a DTS Surround encoded disc with the DVD Receiver, or a DTS encoded disc using a digitally connected player, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder of the DVD Receiver recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
- If you play a DTS Surround source in fast reverse or fast forward, pause, or skip a chapter or track, noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
- Even when playback of the DTS Surround source stops and the DTS signal transmission ends, the DVD Receiver remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This is to prevent noise when you pause, fast forward, fast reverse, or skip a chapter or track of the playback source. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to a PCM (2 channel digital stereo) signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In such a case, stop playback for about three seconds, then resume playback.
- Some CD players (if connected to the DVD Receiver) and LD players may be unable to play DTS Surround sources correctly even if you connect the player to the DVD Receiver digitally. In such a case, the digital signals (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.) processed by the DVD Receiver cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.
■ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround
This is a 5-channel surround system of a new generation, casting a bridge between the previous 4-channel (Left/Right Front, Center and monaural surround channels) Pro Logic surround and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround. Dolby Pro Logic II provides the Movie mode optimized for viewing movies and the Music mode optimized for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the surround channel, which has been monaural and based on narrow band, is reproduced in stereo so that the feeling of movement in the played movies is more enhanced. In the Music mode, the surround channel reproduces natural sound field even with 2-channel music sources.
The Movie mode allows you to enjoy VHS and DVD software carrying the ☐DOLBY SURROUND marking as well as some of TV broadcast programs. The Music mode allows you to enjoy stereo music from CD, etc.
■ Onkyo's original Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes
The DVD Receiver offers the following special Onkyo sound effects for sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS sounds.
Orchestra
This mode is suitable for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It simulates a natural reverberation as created in a large hall.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the acoustics in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This mode is suitable for rock and popular music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic image will make you feel as if you are in a club.
TV Logic
This mode offers the realistic acoustics of a TV program being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of conversation.
All Ch St (All Channel Stereo)
This mode is useful for background music. The front and surround channels will create a stereo image.
■ Theater-Dimensional (T-D)\* mode

□ □
Theater-Dimensional
The ideal home theater is realized by the multichannel sound reproduction with the complete speaker configuration and speaker positioning described on page 20. However, sometimes it is difficult to meet all those conditions. In reality, you may only have front speakers, or not be able to place the surround speakers in position.
Even if your speaker system is not complete, you can enjoy the multichannel surround sound by using the Theater-Dimensional mode. Theater-Dimensional mode sets the output channels to generate the most suitable virtual surround reproduction according to the number of the speaker channels set in "Speaker Setup" on page 29 or 31.
The importance of the speaker setup
Calibrating each speaker's sound pressure is essential for home theater sound reproduction. The same thing can be said for virtual surround sound reproduction. Especially level matching and the time alignment of the two speakers that reproduce virtual surround signals becomes an even more important factor than with normal multichannel reproduction.
For the DVD Receiver, the calibration for the multichannel reproduction (see speaker distance setting on page 32 and test tone adjustment on page 33) provides the most appropriate level matching.
Notes
- For the input sources which include the surround channel signals like the multichannel DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS surround sounds, the virtual processing is applied to those surround channel signals.
- For the 2 channel input sources, the surround channel elements are automatically extracted with the DOLBY PRO LOGIC processing before the virtual processing is applied.
- For the monaural or front 3 channel stereo sources, the virtual surround effect does not work since those input sources do not include the surround channel signals.
* Theater-Dimensional is a virtual surround technology developed by Onkyo. This technology is approved by Dolby Laboratories for the virtual surround processing of the Virtual Dolby Digital and Virtual Dolby Surround products.
The Input Sources and Available Listening Modes
The available listening modes varies depending on the sound type of the input source. The table below shows the correlation between the input source types and listening modes.
(× marked listening modes can be chosen with a particular type of a source.)
| Input Source Signals | Analog/PCM D | Dolby Digital DTS | |
| Possible sourcesListening Modes | Audio cassette, audio CD,VIDEO CD, Record,FM broadcast,AM broadcast | DVD video, LD,Digital (satellite) broadcast | DVD video, audio CD, LD |

| Unplugged × | |||
| Studio-Mix × | |||
| TV Logic × | |||
| All Ch Stereo × | |||
* PL II Movie/Music can be selected only when the source is 2-channel.
Note
The listening mode is set to "Stereo" when the PCM sound whose sampling frequency is higher than 48kHz is played. Such high-resolution sounds are reproduced from sources such as DVD video.
Checking the Sound System of the Playing Source
The DVD Receiver will automatically detect the sound system when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround (DOLBY DIGITAL), DTS Surround (RMS), or PCM/MP3 DIGITAL (2 channel digital stereo) is played back. The corresponding sound system indicator lights in the DVD Receiver's display.
DOLBY DIGITAL DTS DIGITAL (PCM/MP3)

Choosing Theater-Dimensional Mode
Theater-Dimensional mode is the technology which controls the characteristics of the sounds reaching the listener's left and right ears, therefore, there is a sweet spot where you can best experience the Theater-Dimensional effects. You need to adjust the location of the sweet spot and these other factors for the best possible Theater-Dimensional effect.
■ Listening angle
("Lisng. Angle" appears in the display.)
Left speaker Right speaker

The longer the distance between the two speakers is, the wider the angle is.
The listening angle is the angle at the listening position where the two lines from the left and right speakers meet.
You need to adjust the listening angle in the following cases:
- If you set "Speaker 2ch" or "Speaker 3ch" in "Speaker Setup" on pages 29 and 30.
Consider the listening angle as being formed from the left and right front speakers since the virtual surround signals are output from the front speakers. - If you cannot place the surround speakers in the correct position.
- Place each surround speaker on top of or on the outer side of each front speaker of the same side.
- Consider the listening angle as being formed from the left and right surround speakers since the virtual surround signals are output from the surround speakers.
Set "Lisng. Angle" to one of the following settings, which you feel is most effective (the listening angles in parentheses are the ideal degrees):
- Normal (30°)
- Wide (40°)
- Narrow (20°)
■ Virtual Surround Level
("V. Surr Level" appears in the display.)
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level.
Set "V. Surr Level" to one of the following 7 values, which you feel is most effective: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and, 3
■ Dialog mode
("Dialog Mode" appears in the display.)
The dialog in the film may sound less clear because of the music or other sounds depending on the movie or scene.
In such a case, set "Normal" to "Enhance." (The factory setting is "Normal" which is the normal mode.)
Notes
- This function emphasizes the dialog in the center channel since the dialog sound, in most films, is allocated to the center channel. Therefore, if the dialog is not in the center channel, the sound will not be enhanced.
- Depending on the type of source, this mode is not very effective.
■ Activating Theater-Dimensional mode
See "The Input Sources and Available Listening Modes" on page 45.


Press T-D.
"Theater-Dimensional" scrolls across in the display and the Theater-Dimensional indicator on the unit lights.

Notes
• Theater-Dimensional mode cannot be activated if;
- Headphones are connected,
- SPEAKERS B system is On (North American and South American models only), or
- The source is PCM sound with a sampling frequency higher than 48kHz.
- Theater-Dimensional mode will be canceled and the T-D indicator goes off when:
- Another listening mode is chosen, or
- The input source is switched to a type of source which Theater-Dimensional mode cannot process.

Using the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT Function
- The LATE NIGHT function operates when the sound is DOLBY DIGITAL Surround. If you play a movie at low volume at night, set this function to "Low" or "High" to narrow the dynamic range of the sound and make it easier to hear.
- The FRONT EFFECT function operates with DSP modes other than All Ch St. If you use one of the DSP sound effects with a source containing acoustic reverberation, the sound may become unclear because of too much reverberation. In such case, set this function to "Off." The DSP sound effect will not add additional reverberation to the sound output to the three front speakers.

When the settings appear for each menu option, the currently selected setting appears with the setting indicator highlighted in one of three colors: blue, green or yellow. These colors correspond to what formats the menu option effects as shown in the table below.
| Color of indicator Disc format(s) | |
| Blue | DVD only |
| Yellow | DVD/Video CD |
| Green | All compatible formats |
Note
If a setting applicable only to DVDs is changed while a Video CD or CD is loaded, a blue DVD icon appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen to indicate that the setting is not applicable to the currently loaded disc. The setting will be effective the next time a DVD is loaded.
Changing to the Setup Screen "Expert" Menu Mode
The Setup screen menus are divided into two levels, [Basic] and [Expert], to make this unit more convenient to operate for different levels of users. The [Basic] menu mode contains functions that may be considered necessary for the basic operations of this DVD Receiver and helpful on-screen information identified by the ① mark. The [Expert] menu mode adds to the [Basic] menu mode additional functions of the player that can be adjusted to further personalize performance of the player.
In this manual, functions that are contained in the [Expert] menu mode are identified by the Expert icon.
Make changes to the [Setup Menu Mode] setting in the Setup screen General menu.

Settings: Expert
Basic (Factory setting)
Note
On-screen information only appears in the [Basic] menu mode.
Setting the TV Screen Size
The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.
When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image's height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used.
Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.
Example (North American model)

Settings: 4:3 (Letter Box)
4:3 (Pan & Scan)
16:9 (Wide) (Factory setting)
Notes
- If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, [4:3 (Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.
- Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc. Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.
- Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format available on the disc is automatically selected.
■ Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats
The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD.
The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select [16:9 (Wide)].
| When viewing a wide screen TV or monitor | |
| DVD screen size format | Setting and Appearance |
| Wide screen format DVDPlease note that there are some wide screen letter box formats that place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction. | “Wide” setting |
| Standard screen format DVDWhen viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, black bars may be automatically placed at the side of the screen to adjust to the DVD format. | “Wide” setting |
| Standard screen format DVD (unnatural stretched effect)If you are viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, the picture may appear “stretched” on the screen. To remedy this condition, change your wide screen TV to display a standard (4:3) screen. Refer to the instructions supplied with your wide screen TV or monitor for more information. | “Wide” setting |
| When viewing a standard size TV or monitor | |
| DVD screen size format | Setting and Appearance |

Setting the Video 1 Options
■ Connecting to a progressive scan-compatible TV (North American model)
Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free images. Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor. Make changes to the [Component Video] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu.

Settings: Interlace (Factory Setting)
Use this setting with regular TVs that are not compatible with progressive scan. Check the TV's instruction manual if you are not sure about this.
Progressive
Use this setting with TVs and monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. The PRGV indicator lights up. Check the TV's instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

Auto Progressive
Switches to progressive scan when 16:9 DVDs are played,4:3 DVDs uses interlace setting. Your TV/monitor must be compatible with progressive scan to use this setting.
Tip
If this DVD Receiver is set to output progressive-scan video, it's possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV's aspect ratio is set at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3.
If your TV can not be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this DVD Receiver to [Interlace] or [Auto progressive]. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV's aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that came with your TV). When set to [Auto progressive], you may see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the main feature, for example.
Notes
- If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the [Component Video] menu.
- (Other than North American model) The DVD Receiver is fixed to [Interlace] setting. You cannot choose other settings.
■Setting the Video Output Format for the AV CONNECTOR (European models)
When connections are made to the AV CONNECTOR jack on the player via a SCART cable, it is possible to select the video format that is compatible with your TV or monitor. Select [Video] to have a composite video signal output, [S-Video] to have an S-video signal output, and [RGB] to have an RGB signal output. For more information on which format is most appropriate, refer to the instructions supplied with your TV or monitor.
Make changes to the [Video Out] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu.

Settings: Video (Factory setting) S-Video RGB
■Switching the S-Video Output Expert
You can switch the kind of S-Video signal output from the S-Video outputs. If you connected your TV with an S-Video cord, in rare cases the TV picture may appear stretched. In this case switch the output from [S2] to [S1]. Make changes in the [S-Video Out] in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 65).
Example (North American model)

Settings: S1
S2 (Factory Setting)
■Turning the Screen Saver On and Off Expert
As a protective function against residual images on the TV screen or monitor, a phenomenon referred to as "screen burn", the screen saver appears when the same screen has been displayed for a length of time. By default, the screen saver is turned on. However, the screen saver function can be turned on and off at your discretion.

Setting the Parental Lock Level
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has a parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock capable discs, you can block access to material you feel is inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD jacket and the accompanying documentation to see if a particular disc contains a parental lock level.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup screen General menu. Please note that changes to the Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.
You cannot select [Level] or [Country Code] until you have registered a password. Select [Password] to register a new password. See "Entering the password" on this page for how to register a new password.

Settings: Password
(For information, refer to "Entering the Password" on the this page.)
Level
(For information, refer to "Setting the Parental Lock Level" on this page.)

Recording Using the Connected Equipment
You can record according to the following using the connected recording equipment:
- Sound/picture of discs played back by the DVD Receiver,
• Sound of FM/AM programs, and - Sound/picture of the connected source.
Note
Many discs and sources are copy protected. Copy protected sources are impossible to record.
Basic Recording Procedure
| 1 | Set the recording equipment (MD recorder, DAT, Cassette tape deck, VCR, DVD recorder, CD recorder, etc.) to recording pause. |
| 2 | Select the input source to be recorded, then set it to play pause.To play and pause a DVD video, Video CD, or audio CD, see page 34.To select an FM/AM program, see page 38.To select a connected source, see page 40.Refer to the manuals of the connected source equipment for instructions on how to play and pause. |
| 3 | Release the recording pause set in step 1 to start recording. |
| 4 | Start playback of the selected source in step 2. |
Notes
- If you select another input source during recording, the selected source will be recorded.
- Sound effects described on pages 44 to 50 do not affect the recorded sounds.
■Recording the Picture and Sound From Different Sources at the Same Time
The picture from the playing VIDEO 2/CDR/PC source is output through the VIDEO OUT jacks when you select any audio source (TAPE/MD, FM, or AM) or TV/LINE.
Play the VIDEO 1 source and select TAPE/MD, FM, AM, or TV/LINE, then you can record the picture from the VIDEO 1 source and the sound from the selected input source at the same time, using the recording equipment connected to the VIDEO 2 jacks.
■Digital recording from the source connected to the digital input connectors to the digital recording equipment connected to the digital output connector
The digital input connectors are as follows:
• The VIDEO 1 DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) connector, and
• The VIDEO 2 DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) connector.
The digital output connector is the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPT) connector.
Recording digital sound signals from sources connected to the digital input connectors using digital recording equipment connected to the digital output is possible unless:
- The recording is against SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) rules (for details of SCMS rules, refer to the manual of the digital recording equipment),
- The digital signals are in bitstream format (the recordable digital signal format is PCM — two channel digital stereo sound signals), or
- The sampling frequency is out of the recordable range of the recording equipment (for recordable sampling frequency, refer to the manual of the digital recording equipment). Note that the maximum signal frequency output from the DVD Receiver is 48 kHz.
■Analog recording from a DVD Video played using the DVD Receiver
The digital sound signals are converted to analog signals and output to the analog output jacks unless the DVD video is recorded in the DTS Surround.
Although the speakers can reproduce DTS Surround sounds, DTS signals are not output to the analog output jacks.
Controlling other components connected to the DVD Receiver
The remote controller has two learning functions. One is entering the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre-programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers.
Caution
With some brand's components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command separately.
Learning a pre-programming code
By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-484M remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.
| 1 | Find the 3-digit number for the brand name of the component that you want to operate in the table on the next page. |
| 2 | Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e. DVD, satellite tuner, or television). |
| 3MODEDVDCORTAPEMGRDAVDDVCRTVIPM+10 | While holding down the MODE button on the RC-484M that you want to program, press the +10 button, and then release both buttons.The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is pressed and turns off when the +10 button is pressed. Wait until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again. |
| 4SP SETUPSW MODE2DISTANCE456TEST TONECH SELUP/DOWN789PMT-D SETUP+100 | Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3. |
5
Press the button that you programmed and check if the system operates correctly.
- If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3 and repeat the steps above.
- If it still does not operate properly, then program the commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-484M remote controller.
Pre-programmong codes
Note:
If more than one code is given in the table, try the code one by one until you reach the code for your component (i.e. if the first code does not work, then try the next).

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller
When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-484M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-484M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-484M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the six MODE buttons (DVD, CDR, TAPE/MD/HD, AUDIO, VCR, TV). Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.
1
Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.
2

While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the remote controller, press the ENTER button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.
3
Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.
You may select any button but the eight ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Controlling other components connected to the DVD Receiver
| 4 | Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator on the remote controller flashes twice.After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again. |
| 5 | Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE.Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller). |
![]() | Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming. |
| 7 | Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly. |
Notes:
- The remote controller codes for Onkyo CD player, MD player, cassette tape deck or HD Recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 83).
- The remote controller has 300 memory slots (6 modes × 50 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others.
- If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.
- If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
- If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
- If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different MODE button.
- When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and programming for that button will be overwritten.
- The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.
- Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
- Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product.
- Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.
See page 83 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Erasing the programmed command from one button
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.
| 1MODEDVDCORTAPEMINDAUDNVCNFTVSEARCHENTER | Press and hold down the desired MODE button for the command, press the ENTER button, and then release both buttons.When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again. |
| 2 | Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase.When you press the button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again. |
| 3 | Press and release the same button again.The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. The memorized command is erased. |
Note
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
Erasing all the commands programmed under a MODE button
| 1MODEDVDCCNTAPEMINDAVIOVVCRTYSEARCHENR | Press and hold down the desired MODE button, press the ENTER button twice, and then release both buttons.When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp flashes twice slowly and then lights again. |
| 2 | Press and release the same MODE button again.When you release the button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. This erases all the commands memorized to the MODE button. |
Notes
- If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
- If you perform an invalid operation during erasing, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
- If many commands have been programmed to the MODE button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.
