Speaker Precautions  
Package Contents  
Make sure you have the following items:  
Placement  
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is  
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and  
humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct  
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-  
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.  
AV receiver HT-R670  
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.  
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units  
may be damaged.  
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces  
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or  
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-  
age, will affect the sound quality.  
HT-R670  
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-  
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or  
tilted position.  
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD/  
BD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur.  
To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,  
CD player or DVD/BD player, otherwise lower the  
unit’s output level.  
Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6)  
Using Close to a TV or Computer  
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive  
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or  
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed  
nearby. In such situations, try moving the speakers away  
from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur,  
turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and  
then turn it back on again. This normally activates the  
degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic  
field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. Note  
that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or  
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or moni-  
tor.  
Speaker setup microphone  
Indoor FM antenna  
Input Signal Warning  
AM loop antenna  
The speakers can handle the specified input power when  
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the  
following signals are fed to them, even if the input power  
is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow  
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:  
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.  
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.  
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,  
electronic musical instrument, and so on.  
*
In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product  
name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the  
same regardless of color.  
4. Amplifier oscillation.  
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.  
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-  
necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier  
before connecting or disconnecting cables).  
7. Microphone feedback.

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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.  
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.  
Front left and right speakers  
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid  
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about  
ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,  
with the listener at the apex.  
Front high left and right speakers (Optional)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height,  
etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience.

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 left and right speakers.  
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.  
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.  
Surround left and right speakers  
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and  
to add realistic ambience.  
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,  
about 2–3 ft (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they  
should be equidistant from the listener.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting Your Speakers  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
North American models: 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.  
Asian models: 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 “4 ohms” (see  
page 44). 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.  
Speaker Configuration  
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need  
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table shows which channels you should  
use based on the number of speakers you have.

• 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. Connect  
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,  
and negative (–) terminals to only 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.  
*1 If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the  
power amplifier’s left terminals.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered  
subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid  
bass.  
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you  
must set the speaker settings. You can do this  
automatically (see page 46) or manually (see page 68).  
• Be careful not to short the  
positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.  
Notes:  
• Front high and surround back speakers produce no  
sound at the same time.  
• When you connect the front high left and right  
speakers, preparate it separately.  
• Don’t connect more than one  
cable to each speaker  
terminal. Doing so may  
damage the AV receiver.  
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

Caution:  
Wall Mounting  
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends  
on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow  
walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are  
no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.  
Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or less  
and a shank diameter of 5/32" (4 mm) or less. With  
hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any  
power cables or water pipes before making any holes.  
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the  
keyhole slots.  
To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use  
the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw  
that’s securely screwed into the wall.

We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to  
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The  
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving,  
providing a more stable platform.  
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two  
keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws  
that are securely screwed into the wall.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer  
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,  
tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer’s feet  
may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the  
supplied pads underneath the subwoofer’s feet. The pads  
also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup  
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 respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate  
tweeter and woofer feeds for front speakers, providing  
improved bass and treble performance.  
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to  
drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.  
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts  
connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And  
the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the  
front speakers’ tweeter terminals.  
Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+)

Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from  
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,  
etc.  
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed  
horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be  
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a  
window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left  
connected.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock  
hazards.

About AV Connections  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-  
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).  
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and  
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals  
supplied with your other AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
and double-checked all AV connections.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
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, 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, or multichannel PCM).  
*1  
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), so only HDCP-compatible components will  
display a picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:  
Deep Color, x.v. 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 (16/20/24 bit/32–192 kHz)  
• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz)  
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio,  
DTS-HD Master Audio)  
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.  
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, opera-  
tion with components other than  
-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.  
• Set “HDMI Ctrl” to “On” (page 79).  
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 86) and “Controlling a DVD Player, or DVD Recorder” (page 87) for operation.  
Note:  
Do not connect the  
-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so  
that the linked operations work properly.  
• DVD/BD player is up to three.  
• DVD/BD recorder is up to three.  
• Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.  
Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.  
When the  
-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not  
guaranteed.  
About Copyright Protection  
*2  
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.  
*3  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG 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): Led 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.

Connecting the AV receiver—Continued  
Making HDMI Connections  
Step 1:  
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV,  
projector, and so on.  
Step 2:  
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 41).  
Video Signals  
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.  
Audio Signals  
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV  
receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “AudioTVOut” setting is set to “On” (see  
page 78).  
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “AudioTVOut”  
setting to “On” (see page 78), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:  
• 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.  
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be  
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV  
power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound  
may be cut off.  
• When the “AudioTVOut” setting is set to “On” (see page 78), or “TV Ctrl” is set to “On” (see page 79) and you’re  
listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output by the  
AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s  
settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.  
• 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.

Connecting Onkyo u Components  
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).  
Step 2: Make the necessary u connections (see illustration below).  
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 45).  
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:  
Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically  
turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all  
components connected via u will also go on Standby.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected via u, 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 u-capable Onkyo components. You must  
enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 85). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV  
receiver and not the other component.

Measurement Positions  
Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup  
To create a listening environment in which several  
people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously,  
Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions  
within the listening area.  
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 (see page 72).  
a First measurement point  
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.  
b Second measurement point  
The right side of the listening area.  
c Third measurement point  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to “On”,  
The left side of the listening area.  
The distances between points a and b and points a  
and c must be at least 1 meter.  
From the examples below, choose the listening area that  
best matches yours and place the microphone  
accordingly when prompted.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ becomes available.  
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.  
:
:
Listening area  
Listening position  
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.

First Time Setup—Continued  
Notes:  
Using Audyssey 2EQ™  
• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the  
speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes  
to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto  
setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have  
changed.  
• When starting the room correction and speaker setup,  
do not stand between the speakers and microphone,  
and avoid obstacles blocking the path between  
speakers and microphone. This will produce  
inaccurate results.  
• 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  
innacurate results.  
Notes:  
• (Asian models) If any of your speakers is 4 ohms,  
change the Speaker Impedance setting before  
running the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and  
speaker setup (see page 44).  
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted  
automatically when the Audyssey 2EQ Room  
Correction and Speaker Setup starts.  
• Room correction and speaker setup cannot be  
performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the room  
correction and speaker setup for three positions.  
Total measurement time varies depending on the  
number of speakers.  
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during  
room correction and speaker setup.  
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise  
can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows,  
silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air  
conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances,  
light dimmers, or other devices.  
ON/STANDBY  
• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from  
all audio electronics during the measurement process  
as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause  
measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not  
in use).

Setup at any point in this procedure simply by  
disconnecting the setup microphone.  
If you wish to make changes to the settings found during  
the automatic speaker setup, follow the directions on  
pages 68–70.  
Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very  
low-frequency sound and its position is usually low  
down, it may not be detected by the Audyssey 2EQ  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup. When  
“Subwoofer” is set to “No” in the “2-2.Sp Config  
(Speaker Configuration)” (page 68), increase the  
subwoofer’s volume, select its highest crossover  
frequency, and then try running the Audyssey 2EQ  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if  
the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may  
not be detected, so use an appropriate volume level.  
Error Messages  
While the room correction and speaker setup is in  
progress, one of the following error messages may  
appear:  
Ambient noise is too high  
This message appears if there’s too much background  
noise and the measurements cannot be performed  
properly. Remove the source of the noise and try again.

Recording  
This section explains how to record the input source and  
how to record audio and video from separate sources.  
Recording from Different AV Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
simultaneously recording audio and video from two  
separate sources. This is possible because only the audio  
source is switched when an audio-only input source,  
such as TV/TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video  
source remains the same.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player  
connected to the 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.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected 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 Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the  
VCR/DVR OUT V jack don’t output video signal, so  
select another mode when recording.  
Recording the Input Source  
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g.,  
cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE  
OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video  
recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR  
OUT jacks. See pages 25 to 39 for hookup information.

Dolby Digital  
About the Listening Modes  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
Pure Audio  
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned  
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in  
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is  
turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN  
can be output.)  
5.1-channel source + Dolby EX  
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX  
soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround  
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra  
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound  
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.  
Direct  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-  
fidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels  
are output as they are.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest  
multichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to  
7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc  
formats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete  
channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-  
channels with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel  
playback.  
Multichannel  
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie

to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
DTS

channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-  
channels with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire  
listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Full Mono  
DTS Express  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower  
sampling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include  
interactive audio and commentary encoding for HD  
DVD Sub Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also  
broadcast and media servers.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound  
even with only two or three speakers. This works by  
controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right  
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.  
DSD  
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format  
used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.  
3-2. Dolby  
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.  
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
Panorama  
On: Panorama function on.  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
listening mode.  
Dimension  
–3 to +3 (default: 0)  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve  
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move  
it backward.  
Center Width  
0 to 7 (default: 3)  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only  
the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front  
left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.  
Dolby EX  
Dolby EX  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is

Center Image  
0 to 5 (default: 2)  
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With  
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create  
the center channel.  
Setting a value [0] in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the  
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.  
3-4. Audyssey

Dynamic EQ  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).  
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.  
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.  
Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volumeoff.  
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active (see page 46).  
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active (see page 46).  
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most,  
causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.  
Note:  
After the automatic speaker setting is completed, even if Equalizer Setting is set besides “Audyssey”, when  
Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, Equalizer Settings is set to “Audyssey”.  
When Dynamic Volume is set to effective, Equalizer Setting is set to “Audyssey” and Dynamic EQ is set to  
“On”. When Dynamic EQ is set to “Off”, Dynamic Volume becomes “Off” automatically.  
3-5. T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
LstnAngl (Listening Angle)

programmed with the remote control code for your  
Dock, you can control your iPod in the Dock with the  
following buttons.  
Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this but-  
ton, in which case you should press it again. This is because  
the remote controller transmits the On and Standby com-  
mands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will  
remain on when the remote controller transmits an On com-  
mand. Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain  
off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue  
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
• Check the volume (page 49). The AV receiver is  
designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide  
volume range for precise adjustment.  
• If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display,  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the AV receiver (page 51).  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 51).  
• Check the digital audio output settings on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting  
the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo  
dealer.  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults,  
turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR]  
button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear”  
will appear on the display and the AV receiver will  
enter Standby mode.  
• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in,  
you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.  
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must  
connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and  
a phono preamp.  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
• Check the speaker settings (pages 68–70).  
• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it  
to “Auto” (page 52).  
• 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 compatible audio format.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall  
outlet properly.  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5  
seconds or more, then plug it back in again.  
Only the front speakers produce sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).  
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned  
on  
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet  
immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input  
sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord  
disconnected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the  
power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV  
receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum,  
disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your  
speakers and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off  
when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the  
power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie or Dolby Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode with a mono source,  
such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the  
sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).  
The center speaker produces no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound (page 66).  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).  
Audio  
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet  
• To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an  
HDMI input, make sure that input is assigned to an  
input selector (page 41).  
• To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an  
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, make sure that input is  
assigned to an input selector (page 43).  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 25).  
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the  
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 19).  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
• When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or  
Mono listening mode is selected, the surround  
speakers produce no sound.  
• Depending on the source and the current listening  
mode, not much sound may be produced by the  
surround speakers. Try another listening mode  
(page 61).  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The front high speakers or surround back  
speakers produce no sound  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
• Depending on the current listening mode, no sound  
may be produced by the front high speakers or surround  
back speakers. Try another listening mode (page 61).  
• Not much sound may be produced by the front high  
speakers or surround back speakers with some sources.  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front  
high speakers or surround back speakers produce no  
sound (page 80).  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital, Dolby  
Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 73).  
About DTS signals  
• 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.  
• 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, as the AV  
receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may  
not hear anything, in which case you should stop your  
player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.  
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback  
DTS material properly even though your player is  
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.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE  
channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.  
• Check the “2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)”  
(page 68).  
The Zone 2 speakers produce no sound  
• The Zone 2 speakers only output sources that are  
connected to an analog input. Check to see if the  
source component is connected to an analog input.  
• “Powered Zone 2” cannot be used if “Sp Type” is set  
to “Bi-Amp” (page 44).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
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, sound may not be output immediately.  
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback  
Video  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the  
surround back speakers produce no sound (page 80).  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 25).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly  
connected.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.  
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the  
video circuitry is turned off and only the HDMI OUT  
outputs video signals.  
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so  
if a video source component is connected to a  
component video input, your TV must be connected to  
the component video output (page 26).  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT  
(page 26).  
Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode  
• The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2 is on.  
• The Pure Audio listening mode is not available on the  
North American models.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set  
(page 77).  
• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been  
adjusted to high positive values (page 70), then the  
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.  
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set  
automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Cor-  
rection and Speaker Setup function has been com-  
pleted (page 46).  
• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted  
(page 70), the maximum possible volume may be  
reduced.  
There’s no picture from a source connected to  
an HDMI IN  
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is  
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC  
are not supported (page 28).  
Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio  
performance, so don’t use them.

• If you’ve connected an u-capable Onkyo RI Dock to  
the TV/TAPE IN, CBL/SAT IN or VCR/DVR IN  
jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you  
must set the Input Display to “DOCK” (page 45).  
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If  
more than one code is listed, try each one.  
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not  
work as expected, and some may not work at all.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via  
u, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be  
sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(page 85).  
• Depending on your iPod or iPhone, some buttons may  
not work as expected.  
The AV receiver unexpectedly selects your iPod  
or iPhone as the input source  
• Always pause iPod or iPhone playback before  
selecting a different input source. If playback is not  
paused, the Direct Change function may select your  
iPod or iPhone as the input source by mistake during  
the transition between tracks.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected  
via u, or another manufacturer’s component, point  
the remote controller at that component. Be sure to  
enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(page 84).

selected.  
1. While holding down the input selector button for the  
input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]  
button.  
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV  
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs  
with the same name (e.g., TV/TAPE IN to TV/TAPE  
OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).  
• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected,  
video recording is not possible because no video  
signals are output. Select another listening mode.  
2. Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change  
the setting.  
3. Press the input selector button for the input source  
that you want to set when you’ve finished.  
• Video Attenuation  
Others  
This setting can be made for the DVD/BD,  
VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.  
If you have a games console connected to the  
composite video input, and the picture isn’t very  
clear, you can attenuate the gain.  
The sound changes when I connect my  
headphones  
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening  
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,  
Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio, in which case it stays the  
same. (Pure Audio listening mode is not available for  
North American models.)  
Video ATT:0: (default).  
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
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 5 seconds, and then plug it back  
in again.  
How do I change the language of a multiplex  
source  
• On the “Audio Adjust” menu, change the “Input  
The u functions don’t work  
• To use u, you must make an u connection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the  
component and AV receiver, even if they are  
connected digitally (page 39).  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded  
correctly.  
• While Zone 2 is selected, the u functions don’t  
work.  
The AV receiver’s display doesn’t work  
• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio  
listening mode is selected. Select another listening  
mode.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
