and slide it shut.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-

troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-

ently, thereby draining the batteries.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV

receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass

doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an

obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote con-

trol sensor.

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try

replacing the batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of

batteries.

• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long

time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from

leakage or corrosion.

• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-

ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

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 DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With

analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II or Onkyo’s own DSP surround 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 theTV.Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,

with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the

front left and right speakers,

making sound movements dis-

tinct and providing a full sound

image. In movies it’s used

mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV fac-

ing forward at about ear level, or

at the same height as the front

Corner

left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

1/3 wall

length

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 posi-

tion. 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.

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 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they

should be equidistant from the listener.

Tip:To ﬁnd the best position for your sub-

woofer, while playing a movie or some

music with good bass, experiment by

placing your subwoofer at various posi-

tions within the room, and choose the one

that provides the most satisfying results.

AV Connection Color Coding

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.

Optical Digital Jacks

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type

covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and

close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

good connections (loose connec-

tions can cause noise or malfunc-

tions).

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and

right 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 left

and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their

arrows point toward the TV/screen, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms

or higher. 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.

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)

of insulation from the

ends of the speaker

cables, and twist the bare

wires tightly, as shown.

5/8" (15 mm)

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

Unscrew the terminal.

• 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 nega-

tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way

around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound

unnatural.

Fully insert the bare

wires.

• 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

Screw the terminal tight.

receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the

wire does not have contact with

the AV receiver’s rear panel.

Doing so may damage the AV

receiver.

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

terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside

horizontally, 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 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 possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• 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 haz-

ards.

I Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI

Designed to meet the 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, and

multichannel PCM).

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 can

display the picture.

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

High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface Speciﬁcation Informational Version 1.1

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)

Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s

HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG^*3in 1999.

*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to

protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open

industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity speciﬁcation for high-performance PCs and

digital displays.

turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN

can be output.)

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-chan-

nel playback. It uses ﬁve full-bandwidth channels of

matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing

a very natural and seamless surround sound experience

that fully envelops the listener.

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output

directly with minimal processing, providing high-ﬁdel-

ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are

output as they are.

•

Neo:6 Cinema

Stereo

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD,

VHS).

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and

subwoofer.

•

Neo:6 Music

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,

CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

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.

Neural Surround

(North American models only)

Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in

surround technology developed for music and is adopted

by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of sur-

round recordings and live events in surround sound.

Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-

domain processing, which allows delivery of a more

detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation

and localization of audio elements. System playback is

scalable 5.1-channel surround playback.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II expands any 2-channel source for

5.1-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.

•

PLII Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

•

PLII Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,

TV, VHS, DVD).

•

PLII Game

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono

sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,

while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other

speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode

emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the

stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of

a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this

mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the

impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this

mode creates a lively sound ﬁeld with a powerful acous-

tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-

duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire

sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode ﬁlls the entire lis-

tening area with stereo sound from the front and sur-

round speakers.

Full Mono

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.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 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.

Recording

This section explains how to record the current input

source and how to dub audio onto your video recordings.

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 (i.e.,

TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input

source remains unchanged.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot

be recorded.

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel

input.

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

nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con-

nected to theVIDEO 4 INPUTVIDEO jack are recorded

by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer

to the manuals supplied with your digital recording

equipment for more details.

• Digital signals received at COAXIAL IN/OPTICAL

IN or HDMI IN 1/2 are only output by OPTICAL

OUT. However, certain types of digital signal such as

DVD-Audio signal input from HDMI IN will not be

output. Analog input signals are output by only the

analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from

digital to analog or vice versa.

Camcorder

video signal

audio signal

• 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 provided because the power is turned off for

the video circuit. If you want to make recordings,

select other listening mode.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-

sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or

DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be

recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder)

connected to the to VIDEO 1 OUT or VIDEO 2 OUT

jacks. See pages 23 to 36 for hookup information.

Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

I Center Image

Input Channel Settings

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5.1-chan-

nel 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 cre-

ate the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5

(default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround

speakers are connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is

attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the

sound is located centrally. This setting works well when

the listening position is considerably off center. When

set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-

ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

I Multiplex

This setting determines which channel is output from a

stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels

or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV

broadcasts, and so on.

Main: The main channel is output (default).

Sub: The sub channel is output.

Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.

I Mono Input Ch

This setting speciﬁes the channel to be used for playing

any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-

channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening

mode.

L+R: Both the left and right channels are output

(default).

T-D Listening Setting

I Listening Angle

Left: Only the left channel is output.

Right: Only the right channel is output.

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front

left and right speakers relative to the listening position.

Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode

is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right

speakers should be equidistant from the listening posi-

tion and at an angle close to one of the two available set-

tings.

PL II Music Mode Settings

These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital

source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM

source in the PLII Music listening mode.

Front left speaker

Front right speaker

I Panorama

With this function, you can broaden the width of the

front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music

listening mode.

20/40˚

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

I Dimension

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).

With this setting, you can move the sound ﬁeld forward

or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music listening

mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3 (default is 0).

Lower settings move the sound ﬁeld forward. Higher set-

tings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much

surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to

improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image

feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround

sound, move it backward.

I Center Width

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound

from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II

Music listening mode. Normally if you are using a center

speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the

center speaker. (If you are 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 set-

ting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allow-

ing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the

input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack;

otherwise you will see “Analog” indicated on the screen

(see page 39).

Normally, theAV receiver detects the signal format auto-

matically. However, if you experience either of the fol-

lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you

can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut

off, try setting the format to PCM.

Press the [RECEIVER] or [AMP]

button followed by the [SETUP]

button.

Correcting Sound and Picture Sync

Changing the Remote Controller’s ID

When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,

you may ﬁnd that the picture and sound are out of sync.

With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the

audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds

(ms) in 10 millisecond steps.

If several Onkyo components are used in the same room,

the remote controller’s control codes may overlap with

those of another component. To differentiate the remote

controller’s control codes, you can change its ID to

another number.

Note:

If you change the remote controller’s ID, be sure to set

the same ID on both the remote controller and AV

receiver (see “Changing the AV Receiver’s ID” on

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.

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the

PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers

(page 47).

• 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 supported audio format.

• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as those

that support DVD, the default setting is off.

• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

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 [VIDEO 1]

button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear”

will appear on the display and the AV receiver will

enter Standby mode.

VIDEO 1

STANDBY/ON

• If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in phono

preamp, 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 phono equalizer.

VCR 1

Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your

radio presets and custom settings.

• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,

twisted, or damaged.

• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 59).

• Specify the speaker distances (page 63) and adjust the

individual speaker levels (page 64).

• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not

still connected.

Power

Can’t turn on the AV receiver

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged

into the wall outlet.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait ﬁve

seconds or more, then plug it in again.

• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to

Auto (page 70).

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned

• The amp protection circuit has been activated.

Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-

ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie, Pro Logic II Music,

or Pro Logic II Game listening mode with a mono

source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV pro-

gram, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 42).

Audio

There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected

properly (page 39). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but-

ton repeatedly

• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed

in all the way (page 18).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the surround speakers produce no sound (page 59).

• Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 42).

• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-

nents are connected properly (page 18).

• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is

correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the

metal part of each speaker terminal (page 20).

• Make sure that the input source is properly selected

(page 45).

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99,

or MAX (page 45). The AV receiver is designed for

home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,

allowing precise adjustment.

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Mono or Stereo listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound (page 59).

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 42).

• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,

press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to

unmute the AV receiver (page 47).

doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such

cases, you may hear noise.

• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,

fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player

may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-

function.

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as those

that support DVD, the default setting is off.

• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

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 sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes

cannot be selected (page 58).

Video

There’s no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed

in all the way (page 18).

• Make sure that each video component is properly con-

nected.

The volume cannot be set to 99

• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated

(page 64), the maximum volume setting may change.

Noise can be heard

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

• If your video component is connected to a component

video input, your TV must be connected to the com-

ponent video output (page 23).

• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

• If a video component is connected to an HDMI input,

your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North

American models) is selected, the video circuitry is

turned off and only video signals input through HDMI

IN can be output.

The Late Night function doesn’t work

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital

(page 62).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which

the AV receiver is connected is selected.

The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t

work

• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec-

tions (page 26).

There’s no picture from a source connected to

an HDMI IN

• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press

the [MULTI CH] input selector button.

• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV

receiver’s display, this indicates that the TV or display

does not support the current video resolution and you

need to select another resolution on your DVD player.

About DTS signals

The onscreen menus don’t appear

• The onscreen menus do not appear on a TV that’s con-

nected to the HDMI OUT.

• Make sure that the video settings are correct (page 40).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which

the AV receiver is connected is selected.

• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-

stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-

ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to

prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or

fast reverse function on your player. If you switch

your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV

receiver does not switch formats immediately, you

may not hear any sound, in which case you should

stop your player for about three seconds, and then

resume playback.

• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your

player is connected to a digital input on the AV

receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver

Troubleshooting—Continued

The following settings can be made for the compo-

nent video, S-Video, and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set-

tings.

1. While holding down the input selector button for the

input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]

button.

2. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to change

the setting.

3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve ﬁnished.

• Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1,

VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, or VIDEO 4 input.

If you have a games console connected to a compo-

nent video, S-Video or composite video input, and

the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the

gain.

Video ATT:0: (default).

Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-

cessing 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 ﬁve seconds, and then plug it

back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD

rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by

the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important

data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-

rectly.

The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup

system in order to retain radio presets and other set-

tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-

ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver

must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the

backup system.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-

let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
