About Home Theater

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 lis-

tening modes.

You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

a b Front speakers (Left and Right)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-

vide 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.

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.

d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-

istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly

behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they

should be equidistant from the listener.

Subwoofer(s)

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.

de gh

g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)

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

100 cm) above ear level.

Corner

position

i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and

Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.

Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (pref-

erably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front

speakers.

1/3 of wall

position

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.

k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They signifi-

cantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the

front speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html

about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Connections

Connecting the AV Receiver

Speaker Connection Precautions

Connecting Your Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between

4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected

speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure

to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”

(➔ 45). 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 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.

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.

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURR BACK L terminals.

Front high, surround back and front wide speakers cannot be

used at the same time.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer 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 automati-

cally (➔ 29) or manually (➔ 45).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker ter-

minal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

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 speak-

ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward

each other, as shown.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be

used with front speakers and surround back speakers respec-

tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds

for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing

improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to

a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the

front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R ter-

minal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown

below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the

“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-

amping (➔ 45).

transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by

the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available

in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these

days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can

also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,

rock, etc.).

While the preset number is flashing (about 8 sec-

onds), use PRESET e/r to select a preset from 1

through 40.

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

Press MEMORY again to store the station or chan-

■ PS (Program Service)

nel.

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS

information, the station’s name will be displayed. Press-

ing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

The station or channel is stored and the preset num-

ber stops flashing.

Repeat this procedure for all of your favorite FM/

AM radio stations.

■ RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text

information, the text will be shown on the display as

described in the next section.

Note

• You can name your radio presets for easy identification (➔ 51).

Its name is displayed instead of the band and frequency.

■ PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type

(➔ 34).

Selecting Presets

■ TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast traffic information (➔ 34).

To select a preset, use PRESET e/r on the AV

receiver, or the remote controller’s CH +/–.

Note

Tip

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver

may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also,

unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported

characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

• You can also use the remote controller’s number buttons to select

a preset directly.

Deleting Presets

• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be

displayed intermittently or not at all.

Select the preset that you want to delete.

See the previous section.

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text

information, the text can be displayed.

While holding down MEMORY, press TUNING

MODE.

The preset is deleted and its number disappears from

the display.

Displaying Radio Text (RT)

Press RT/PTY/TP once.

The RT information scrolls across the display.

Note

• The message “Waiting” may appear while the AV receiver waits

for the RT information.

• If the message “No Text Data” appears on the display, no RT

information is available.

Recording

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

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, TUNER or

PHONO) is selected, the video input source remains

unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected 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.

AUDIO

VIDEO

Cassette, CDR, MD,

etc.

VCR, DVD recorder

Camcorder

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, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied 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.

• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is pro-

vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you

want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two

speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth sub-

woofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two

additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth

channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel

sources.

■ Speaker Layout

The illustration shows which speakers are activated in each channel. See “Speaker Configuration” for the speaker setup

(➔ 45).

channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing

has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in

the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels

found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height

channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual

cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX

applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the

front and surround channels.

Digital Audio Input

Note

• If no video component is connected to HDMI OUT (even if the

HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video

source based on the setting of “Component Video Input”.

• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained

here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital

Audio Input” (➔ 44). In this case, if you want to use the coaxial

or optical audio input, make the selection in the Audio Selector

in the Home menu (➔ 26).

• “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the

“- - - - -” option.

• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated

iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input

to “PORT” selector.

If you connect a component to a digital audio input, you

must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if

you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN 1, you

must assign “OPT1” to the “TV/CD” input selector.

Some of the settings in this section are set automatically

by Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker

Setup function (➔ 29).

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are

connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker.

Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low fre-

quency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers

with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a

crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover fre-

quency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the

speaker. Refer to your speaker’s manuals to determine the

optimum crossover frequencies. If you set up your speak-

ers using Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and

Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX

speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover.

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology

featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™

Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home

theater audiences can now experience the rich details in

a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of

turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-

tain 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 regard-

less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-

matically 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.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating 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 con-

stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines

information from incoming source levels with actual

output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-

ering a loudness correction solution.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard

film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref-

erence response and surround envelopment when the

volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-

ence 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

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for

every listener at any volume level.

• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be

selected.

About NET

Connecting the AV Receiver

The AV receiver is network-ready, which means you can

hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet

cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or

media server. If your network is connected to the Internet,

you can also enjoy Internet radio.

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug

one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV

receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a

LAN port on your router or switch.

The following diagram shows how you can connect the

AV 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.

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network

is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a

computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, play-

back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-

mended.

■ Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supplying

IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-

eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-

neously via a single Internet connection. The AV

receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP

supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them

to configure themselves automatically.

• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-

mended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs

require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP

or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

LAN port

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to con-

nect the AV receiver to your home network.

LAN/Ethernet port

■ 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 recom-

mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please

consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Computer or media server

Note

• To receive Internet radio with the A V r eceiver, 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 Settings” (➔ 66).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have

a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com-

patible 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 (➔ 66).

Listening to Internet Radio

Note

• When the NETWORK indicator flashes, confirm that the

Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the AV receiver.

• Services available may vary depending on the region. See

receiver to a network with Internet access (➔ 60).

You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the

AV receiver from your computer and selecting stations in

your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.

Internet radio URLs in the following formats are sup-

ported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depend-

ing on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet
