NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency  
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-  
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to  
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Precautions—Continued  
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only,  
recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission  
of the copyright holder.  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the HT-R510 is not user-service-  
able. If you cannot turn on the HT-R510, contact your Onkyo  
dealer.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the  
voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the  
HT-R510’s rear panel (AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully  
shutdown the HT-R510. If you do not intend to use the HT-R510 for  
an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.  
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the HT-R510 all over with  
a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with  
a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the HT-R510  
immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive  
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.  
4. Power  
Memory backup  
The HT-R510 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to  
retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the  
case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the  
HT-R510 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the  
backup system.  
Once it has been charged, the HT-R510 will retain the set-  
tings for several weeks, although this depends on the envi-  
ronment and will be shorter in humid climates.  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,  
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

Before Using the HT-R510  
Installing the Batteries  
Using the Remote Controller  
To use the remote controller, point it at the HT-R510’s  
remote control sensor, as shown below. The HT-R510’s  
STANDBY indicator flashes while a signal is being received  
from the remote controller.  
Open the battery compartment, as shown.

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
HT-R510 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind  
when installing the HT-R510.  
Notes:  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the  
same room, or the HT-R510 is installed close to equipment  
that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work  
reliably.  
• The supplied batteries should last for about six months,  
although this will vary with usage.  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing  
both batteries.  
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote control-  
ler, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently,  
thereby draining the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of bat-  
teries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and  
corrosion.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
HT-R510 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors.  
Keep this in mind when installing the HT-R510.  
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to pre-  
vent possible leakage and corrosion.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle  
between it and the HT-R510’s remote control sensor.

ConnectingYour AV Components  
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding  
Before Making Any Connections  
RCA/phono 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 (typi-  
cally labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect compos-  
ite video inputs and outputs.  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all  
audio and video connections.  
Optical Digital Inputs  
The HT-R510’s optical digital connectors have a shutter-type  
cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes  
when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.

Video Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the  
following video connection formats: composite video,  
S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best pic-  
ture quality.  
AV component  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the  
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, so only output  
connectors of the same format as the input connector will  
output a signal, as shown below.  
Make sure that the wattage requirements of the AV compo-  
nent that you connect to the HT-R510’s AC outlet do not  
exceed the maximum wattage printed on the rear panel.  
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the  
S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the  
S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO  
VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video  
or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats  
Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the  
following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial,  
and multi-channel (5.1).  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the  
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, as shown below.  
For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE  
OUT connectors, so if you want to record from, for example,  
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input,  
you must also connect it to the analog CD IN connectors.

InstallingYour Speakers  
Surround Speakers  
Surround speakers add a sense of movement and put you, the  
listener, in the middle of the action.  
You can use two sets of speakers with your HT-R510:  
speaker set A and speaker set B.  
With speaker set A, which should be installed in your main  
listening room, and can be used with Dolby Digital or DTS  
surround material, you can connect front-left, front-right,  
center, surround-left, surround-right, surround-back, and  
subwoofer speakers.  
• The surround-left and surround-right speakers should be  
installed at the sides, or slightly behind the listener, 2–3 ft.  
(60–100 cm) above ear level, and against the side walls.  
The surround-back speaker should be installed behind the  
listener also at 2–3 ft. (60–100 cm) above ear level. Make  
sure that the listening position is within the range of the  
speakers.  
With speaker set B, which can be installed in another room,  
and used with stereo or mono material, you can connect a  
pair of standard hi-fi speakers.  
Subwoofer  
The subwoofer handles the low-frequencies, providing a  
powerful and solid bass.  
PositioningYour Speakers  
Speaker-set B can be positioned in the standard position for  
stereo speakers or where you like.  
• The volume and quality of the bass output from your sub-  
woofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listen-  
ing 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.  
Speaker-setA, however, must be positioned at specific points  
in your listening room to achieve the best results from sur-  
round sound material. The following illustration shows the  
best positions for your surround-sound speakers. Obviously,  
the positions you choose will depend on the shape of your  
room and the position of your TV or projector screen. Either  
way, use this illustration as a guide and try to use the same  
positions relative to your listening position.

Speaker cables are two-wire cables, with one wire for con-  
necting to the positive (+) terminal, and one for connecting to  
the negative (–) terminal.  
The HT-R510’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-  
coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker  
terminals are black.)

To get the most from surround sound, you should connect all  
seven speakers. However, if you don’t connect a center  
speaker or surround speakers, you can still enjoy surround  
sound material by specifying the number of speakers con-  
nected, and the HT-R510 will produce the best surround  
sound possible with the available speakers. See page 34.

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you  
should attach them to the positive side of each speaker cable  
as appropriate. For example, put the white labels on the pos-  
itive sides of the front-left speaker cable, as shown below.  
Similarly, if you don’t have a subwoofer, you can turn off the  
subwoofer so that bass sounds are produced by the other  
speakers. See page 25.  
Front Speakers  
Front speakers consist of front-left, front-right, and center  
speakers. The center speaker adds directionality and move-  
ment.  
• In general, the front-left, front-right, and center speakers  
should be installed facing the listener at ear-level.

Connecting Speaker Set A  
ConnectingYour Speakers  
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:  
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
Strip 5/8" (15 mm) of insu-  
1
5/8" (15 mm)  
lation from the ends of the  
speaker cables, and twist  
the bare wires tightly, as  
shown.  
• 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 odd.  
Unscrew the terminal.  
2
• Only use speakers with an impedance of between 8 and  
16 . Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than  
8 may damage your HT-R510.  
Fully insert the wire.  
3
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect  
the sound quality and should be avoided.  
Screw the terminal tight.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and  
negative connections. Doing so may  
damage your HT-R510.  
4
• Don’t connect more than one cable to  
each speaker terminal. Doing so may  
damage your HT-R510.

tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position  
of theAM antenna to achieve the best possible recep-  
tion. Keep the antenna as far away as possible from  
your HT-R510, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.  
Thumbtacks, etc.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially  
available outdoor AM antenna (see page 23).  
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself  
when using thumbtacks.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM  
antenna instead (see page 23).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna  
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM  
antenna instead.  
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM  
loop antenna, an outdoorAM antenna can be used in addition  
to the loop antenna, as shown.

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 for tall  
buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM  
transmitter.  
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside hor-  
izontally, 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 should be located away from possible noise  
sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local  
regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. See item 14  
of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 of this manual.  
• 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 reg-  
ulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. See item 14 of the  
“Important Safeguards” on page 2 of this manual.  
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circum-  
stances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

source is assigned to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital  
input (page 24), the digital input has priority over the corre-  
sponding analog input. However, with this function you can  
override that and force the HT-R510 to use the analog input.  
In addition, you can set the DVD input source to use the  
multi-channel inputs.  
If you’re using a MiniDisc recorder, you  
can set the display to show “MD” instead  
of “TAPE.” See page 24.

See “ConnectingYour AV Components” on page 13 for con-  
nection information.  
While “Auto” is displayed, the name of the digital input cur-  
rently assigned to the input source (page 24) is displayed in  
parenthesis. For example, “Auto (COAX).” The possible  
inputs are OPT1, OPT2, and COAX.  
Remote

The options are explained below.  
Start playback on the AV compo-  
nent.  
Auto: The assigned digital input will have priority over the  
analog inputs. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs  
will be used.  
Analog: The analog inputs will be used even if the input  
source (i.e., AV component) is connected digitally.  
To adjust the volume of an individ-  
ual speaker, use the remote con-  
troller’s [CH SEL] button to select  
it, and then use the LEVEL [ ] [ ]  
buttons.  
2
Multich: The multi-channel inputs will be used even if the  
input source is connected digitally.  
Notes:  
• When you assign an input source to COAX, OPT1, or  
OPT2 on page 24, if the signal format for that input source  
was previously set toAnalog, it’s automatically set toAuto.  
• When you assign an input source to “– – – –” on page 24,  
if the signal format for that input source was previously set  
to Auto, it’s automatically set to Analog.  
You can adjust the volume level of each individual speaker as  
you like. For the front-left, front-right, center, surround-left,  
and surround-right speakers, you can adjust the volume from  
–12 dB to +12 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted from  
–30 dB to +12 dB.  
Fixing the signal format at DTS or PCM  
If you experience either of the following issues when playing  
DTS or PCM source material with the Auto setting, you can  
fix the signal format at PCM or DTS, as explained below.  
Note that these settings work independently of the individual  
speaker volume settings on page 27.  
• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off  
in Auto mode, try fixing the format at PCM.  
• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a  
DTS format CD or LD in Auto mode, try fixing the format  
at DTS.  
Enabling the Tone Controls  
To use the Bass and Treble functions with the multi-channel  
inputs, first you need to enable them. To do this, press the  
[SURROUND] button. “Tone On” appears on the display.  
You can now use the [AUDIO ADJUST] button to select the  
Bass and Treble functions and adjust as explained on  
page 37. To switch off the Bass and Treble functions, press  
the [DIRECT] button. “Tone Off” appears on the display.  
1) To fix the signal format, use the [AUDIO SELECTOR]  
button, or the remote controller’s [AUDIO SEL] button to  
select Auto.  
2) While “Auto” is being displayed, use the PRESET/  
ADJUST [ ] [ ] buttons to select: PCM, DTS, or Auto.  
When the digital signal format is fixed at DTS or PCM,  
only signals in the corresponding format will be output.  
Digital signals in other formats will be ignored, and the  
DTS or PCM indicator, depending on which format you  
have set, will flash.  
Notes:  
• To use the multi-channel inputs, you must connect an AV  
component with individual 5.1-surround analog outputs to  
the HT-R510’s multi-channel inputs.  
You can select Multich only when the DVD input source is  
selected.  
• While Multich is selected, you can’t select a listening  
mode. If you select Multich while using a listening mode,  
the listening mode will be cancelled.  
• While Multich is selected, the speaker configuration set-  
ting (page 25) is ignored, so even if you have specified two  
speakers, the multi-channel input signals will be fed to the  
front-left, front-right, center, surround-left, and surround-  
right speakers regardless.  
• While Multich is selected, the subwoofer mode (page 25)  
is ignored, so even if you have specified “Subwoofer Off,”  
the signal connected to the SUBWOOFER DVD IN will be  
fed to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT regardless.

Using the Listening Modes  
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-  
grams, the HT-R510 can transform your home listening  
room into a movie theater or concert hall.  
Listening mode availability depends on the format of the cur-  
rently selected input signal. For example, the Dolby Digital  
listening modes are available only while a Dolby Digital for-  
mat signal is being received. Likewise, the DTS listening  
modes are available only while a DTS format signal is being  
received.  
To get the most from surround sound, it’s important that you  
install and configure your speakers correctly. See “Installing  
Your Speakers” on page 20 and “Configuring Speaker SetA”  
on page 25 for information.  
The following table lists all the possible listening modes and  
indicates which modes can be selected for each source for-  
mat. The “Speakers” column lists the minimum number of  
speakers (excluding subwoofer) necessary to use each mode.  
The adjacent diagram graphically indicates which speakers  
are actually used in that mode. If you use less than the mini-  
mum number of speakers, some modes will not be available.  
About the Listening Modes  
The HT-R510 provides a number of listening modes for use  
with various types of source material, including Dolby Digi-  
tal, DTS, Pro Logic II, and Neo:6. In addition, you can use  
the special Onkyo DSP programs, Orchestra, Unplugged,  
and so on, to add surround effects to stereo sources.  
See page 20 for information on connecting the necessary  
speakers, and see page 25 for information specifying the  
number of speakers connected.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
The listening modes are explained below.  
• When listening to DTS material, using the pause, fast for-  
ward, or reverse functions on your DTS-compatible player  
may produce a short audible noise. This is normal.  
Basic Modes  
Direct: The selected input source is fed directly to the power-  
amp stages and through to the front left and right speakers  
with minimal processing. Use this mode when watching an  
old movie that has a mono soundtrack, when listening to  
either the left or right channel of multilingual material, or  
when playing a DVD or other source that has multiplexed  
audio, such as a karaoke DVD.  
• When DTS material ends and the DTS signal transmission  
stops, the HT-R510 remains in DTS listening mode, and  
the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise  
when you use the pause, fast forward, or reverse functions  
on your DTS-compatible player. If you switch your player  
from DTS to PCM, because the HT-R510 does not switch  
formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in  
which case you should stop your player for about 3 sec-  
onds, and then restart playback.  
Stereo: The selected input source is processed as a stereo  
signal and output by the front left and right speakers and sub-  
woofer. Use this mode when listening to stereo sources.  
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to play-  
back DTS material properly even though your player is  
connected to a digital input on the HT-R510. This is usu-  
ally because the digital signal has been processed (e.g.,  
output level, sampling rate, or frequency response  
Surround Modes  
Pro Logic II Movie: Dolby Pro Logic II  
Movie mode decoding for 5.1 surround.  
changed) and the HT-R510 cannot recognize the signal as  
a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.  
Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby  
Surround logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround.  
You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV pro-  
grams and the HT-R510 will create a 5.1 surround mix.  
• The HT-R510’s TAPE OUT and VIDEO 1 OUT connec-  
tors output only analog audio, so don’t try and record a  
DTS CD or LD from these outputs because all you’ll get is  
noise.  
Pro Logic II Music: Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. Use  
this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music  
CDs.  
DTS-ES: DTS-ES decoding with up to 6.1 channels. Use this  
mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.  
The HT-R510 supports both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.  
DTS Neo:6 Cinema: DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode. This mode  
is intended for use with movies, providing surround sound  
with a realistic sense of movement. Use this mode to add 6.1  
surround to stereo movies, videos, and TV programs.  
Discrete 6.1 is for use with material encoded in  
the DTS 6.1 format. With an additional surround-  
DTS Neo:6 Music: DTS Neo:6 Music mode. This mode uses  
the surround channels to create a natural sound field that can-  
not be produced with conventional stereo. Even with two-  
channel music, a natural sound field can be produced from  
the surround channels. Use this mode to add 6.1 surround to  
stereo sources such as music CDs.  
back channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a  
realistic sense of movement and space. You can enjoy this  
format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.  
Matrix 6.1 allows you to play DTS 5.1 material  
on a 6.1 channel system. Since DTS 5.1 material  
includes information about the surround-back  
channel, channels can be reconstructed for play-  
back on a 6.1 channel system.You can enjoy this  
format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or  
DTS logo.  
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital decoding with up  
to 5.1 channels. With this format you can expe-  
rience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater  
or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby  
Digital logo.  
Dolby Digital EX: Dolby Digital EX decoding  
with up to 6.1 channels. With an added sur-  
DSP Modes  
Orchestra: Suitable for classical or operatic music. The cen-  
ter speaker is turned off and the surround channels are  
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition,  
it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.  
round-back channel, this 6.1 channel format offers a height-  
ened sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds  
such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead. Dolby  
Digital EX material can also be played on conventional 5.1  
channel systems, in which case the surround-back channel  
sound is divided between the left and right surround chan-  
nels. Use this mode with DVDs that have a 5.1-channel  
soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital logo.  
Unplugged: Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals,  
and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it  
simulates the stage-front experience.  
Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to  
music in this mode creates a lively soundfield with a power-  
ful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
DTS: DTS decoding with up to 5.1 channels. This  
digital surround format offers a surround sound  
experience with exceptional fidelity. It’s com-  
TV Logic: Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced  
in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the

pressed digital audio data, with six completely separate chan-  
nels (5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio  
data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides  
very high-quality sound.You'll need a DTS compatible DVD  
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with  
DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.  
All Ch St (All Channel Stereo): Ideal for background  
music. The front, surround, and surround-back channels cre-  
ate a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.

Audio Adjust Functions—Continued  
Dimension (Pro Logic II Music)  
With this function, you can move the soundfield backward or  
forward.  
The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.  
Bass  
With this function you can boost or cut low-frequency  
sounds output by the front speakers from –12 dB to +12 dB  
in 2 dB steps.  
Dimension: 3............... the soundfield is in the normal  
position.  
Choose a lower setting to move the soundfield forward.  
Choose a higher setting to move it backward.  
Treble  
With this function you can boost or cut high-frequency  
sounds output by the front speakers from –12 dB to +12 dB  
in 2 dB steps.  
If the stereo image is too wide, or there’s too much surround  
information, try moving the soundfield forward to achieve a  
better balance. If the stereo image is too narrow, or it sounds  
almost like it’s in mono, try moving the soundfield backward.  
Late Night (Dolby Digital)  
With this function you can reduce the dynamic range of  
Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts  
even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watch-  
ing movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb any-  
one.  
Center Width (Pro Logic II Music)  
In Pro Logic II decoding, the center-channel signal is output  
by the center speaker. If a center speaker is not used, the  
decoder divides the center signal equally between the front  
left and right speakers, producing what’s known as a “phan-  
tom” center. With this function you can choose to have the  
center-channel signal output by only the center speaker, by  
only the front left and right speakers (“phantom” center), or  
by a mix of the two.  
Late Night=Off............no effect  
Late Night=Low..........small reduction in dynamic range  
Late Night=High .........big reduction in dynamic range  
Note that the impact of the Late Night function depends on  
the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with  
some material there will be little or no effect.  
Center Width: 0........... the center-channel signal is output  
only by the center speaker.  
This function is automatically cancelled when you set the  
HT-R510 to Standby.  
Center Width: 7........... it’s output only by the front left  
and right speakers (“phantom”  
center).  
Cinema Filter  
In home theaters, adding some width to the center channel  
can improve the balance between the center and front left and  
right speakers. Most stereo material will benefit from appro-  
priate use of this function.  
With this function, you can soften the harshness, or bright-  
ness sometimes experienced with movie soundtracks, which  
are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.  
Center Image (DTS Neo:6 Music)  
The DTS Neo:6 surround format derives its center-channel  
signal from stereo material, either analog or digital. In Music  
mode, the center speaker is intended to augment the left and  
right speakers, allowing them to faithfully reproduce the  
original stereo mix. For this reason, the center channel sound  
is not fully subtracted from the left and right channels. With  
this function, you can adjust the amount of subtraction  
depending on your room layout and personal preference.  
Center Image: 5...........nothing is subtracted from the left  
and right channels.  
Center Image: 0...........the left and right channel levels  
are halved (–6 dB), making the  
center channel more dominant,  
particularly useful when the lis-  
tener is off-center.  
This function has no effect on the level of the center speaker.  
Panorama (Pro Logic II Music)  
With this function, you can extend the front stereo image to  
the surround speakers to provide a “wraparound” effect,  
especially useful when not much sound is being output by the  
surround speakers.

Recording  
This chapter explains how to record the selected input source  
to an AV component with recording capability, and how to  
record audio and video from two different sources.  
Recording from Different AV Sources  
With this function you can record audio and video from dif-  
ferent sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your  
video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact  
that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER,  
or CD) is selected, the video input source remains  
unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3  
input source, followed by the CD input source, you can  
watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the  
audio from the CD input.  
Recording the Input Source  
You can record only to AV components that are connected to  
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.  
See pages 10–19 for information on connecting your AV  
components to the HT-R510.  
MASTER VOLUME  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video  
camera connected to theVIDEO 3 INPUTVIDEO connector  
are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the  
VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.

• The HT-R510 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 even that this should happen, unplug the power cord  
from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again. That should fix it.  
• To reset the HT-R510 to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button.  
“Clear” will appear on the display and the HT-R510 will enter Standby mode.
