Speaker Configuration  
The following table indicates the channels you should use  
depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered  
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid  
bass.  
To get the best from your surround sound system, you  
need to set the speaker settings automatically  
(page 28) or manually (page 41).

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
• 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.  
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)  
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)  
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the  
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.  
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may  
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.  
• 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.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) function  
Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the  
AV receiver.  
• This function can be used when:  
– your TV is ARC capable, and  
– the TV/CD input selector is selected, and  
– “HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On”(page 51), and  
– “Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 52).  
Tip  
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:  
– Set the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting to “On” (page 51) for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 52) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI Control  
(RIHD)” setting to “Off”.  
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
– To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (page 16).  
Note  
• 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.  
• As the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (page 52) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV  
receiver’s speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to On”  
(page 51) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound if you adjust  
the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers from producing sound, you  
can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.

conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers,  
or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use)  
or place it away from all audio electronics.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the  
Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full  
Calibration”.  
• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker  
as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup run.  
• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be  
performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from  
one position to perform the speaker setting only.  
• “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the  
measurement from three positions to correct room  
response in addition to the speaker setting.  
The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes  
about 10 minutes.  
Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.  
On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver  
is connected.

Measurement procedure  
SETUP MIC jack  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes  
measurements at up to three positions within the listening  
area. 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 inaccurate  
results.  
Speaker setup microphone  
a First measurement position  
The speaker setting menu appears.  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would  
normally sit within the listening environment.  
Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this  
position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity,  
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.  
Note  
• The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected  
to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to other video  
outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing  
settings.

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 well by itself.  
However, if Audyssey 2EQ is on, the two technologies  
work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for  
every listener at any volume level.  
`15dB:  
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other  
program material that is mixed at very high listening  
levels and has a compressed dynamic range.  
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film  
reference. To achieve the same reference level in a  
home theater system each speaker level must be  
adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to  
2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure  
level at the listening position. A home theater system  
®
automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at  
reference level when the master volume control is set to  
the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as  
the mixers heard it.  
®
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard  
film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the  
reference response and surround envelopment when the  
volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film  
reference level is not always used in music or other non-  
film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level  
Offset provides three offsets from the film level  
reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected  
when the mix level of the content is not within the  
standard.  
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. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine  
by itself, but can also be used with

network settings manually.  
Network Control  
`Enable  
`Disable  
If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to  
change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to  
use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default  
(i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s  
DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static  
IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in  
which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is  
essential.  
This setting enables or disables control over the network.  
Note  
• When set to “Enable”, the NET indicator is dimly-lit and the  
power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.  
Control Port  
`49152” to “65535”  
This is the network port used for control over the network.  
What’s DHCP?  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by  
routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to  
automatically configure themselves on a network.  
What’s DNS?  
Note  
• When the “Network Control” setting is set to “Disable”, this  
setting is cannot be selected.  
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain  
names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a  
domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web  
browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS  
to translate this into an IP address, in this case  
63.148.251.142.

Appendix  
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.  
When the power is restored after a power  
interruption, “CHECK SP WIRE” appears on the  
display  
The 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.  
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 VCR/DVR, press  
8ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display  
and the AV receiver will enter standby mode.

Only the front speakers produce sound  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
only the front speakers and subwoofer produce  
sound.  
If no surround back speakers and front high speakers  
are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being  
used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.  
Check the Speaker Configuration.  
Depending on the number of connected speakers, it 3235  
is not always possible to select all of the listening  
modes.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro  
Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game  
listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM  
radio station or mono TV program, the sound is  
concentrated in the center speaker.  
The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.  
If the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted to high positive values, then the  
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.  
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are  
set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ® Room  
Correction and Speaker Setup has been performed.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
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.  
Noise can be heard  
Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and the like may degrade the  
audio performance, so refrain from doing it.  
Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
The center speaker produces no sound  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound.  
Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
About DTS signals  
The front high and surround back speakers  
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, 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.  
produce no sound  
Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 32  
may be produced by the front high and surround  
back speakers. Select another listening mode.  
Depending on the sources, the sound produced by  
the front high and surround back speakers may be  
weak.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
While the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”, 56  
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-  
channels and the front high and surround back  
speakers produce no sound.  
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  
doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such  
cases, you may hear noise.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
When you play a source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer  
produces no sound.  
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.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
Check the digital audio output setting on the  
connected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
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, audio output may not start immediately.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 3235  
cannot be selected.

Network/USB Features  
Connecting to the Network  
Network Requirements  
The following diagram shows how you can connect the  
AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s  
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port  
100Base-TX switch built-in.  
Ethernet Network  
For the best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet  
network is recommended. Although it’s possible to play  
music on a computer that’s connected to the network  
wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so it is  
recommended to use wired connections.  
Internet radio  
Ethernet Router  
A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying  
of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:  
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows  
several networked computers to access the Internet  
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV  
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.  
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP  
supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing  
them to configure themselves automatically.  
• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is  
recommended.  
Modem  
Router  
WAN  
LAN  
Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs  
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP  
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
CAT5 Ethernet cable  
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to  
connect the AV receiver to your home network.  
Computer or media server  
Internet Access (for Internet radio)  
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must  
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection  
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory  
results, so a broadband connection is strongly  
recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).  
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re  
unsure.  
Note  
• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband  
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.  
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet  
connection.  
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings  
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,  
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have  
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-  
compatible router.  
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server  
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a  
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path  
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format  
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to  
other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video Signal Flow Chart  
Video component can be connected by using any one of the  
following video connection formats: composite video, PC IN  
Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc.  
(Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter  
offering the best picture quality.  
Composite  
PC IN  
(Analog RGB)  
Component  
HDMI  
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,  
with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and component  
video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.  
The composite video and component video outputs carry  
their respective input signals as they are.  
When you connect a video component to an HDMI or  
COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input  
selector (page 40).

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, Blu-ray Disc/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).  
*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.)  
*2  
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:  
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, 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 (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD  
Master Audio)  
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.  
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.  
*1  
*2  
*3  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.  
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.  
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.  
*3  
Note  
• 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.  
• 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.

3. Connect the HDMI output of the Blu-ray  
Disc/DVD player/recorder to the HDMI IN 1 jack  
of the AV receiver.  
Note  
• It is necessary to assign the HDMI input when connecting  
the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder to other jacks  
(page 40). Do not assign the components connected to  
the HDMI IN to the TV/CD input at this time. Appropriate  
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation can not be  
guaranteed.  
Operate with the remote controller.  
For buttons that can be operated (page 62).

Note  
• Audio from DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD may not  
output from the TV speakers. You will be able to output the  
audio from the TV speakers by setting the audio output of  
the DVD player to 2ch PCM. (It may not be possible  
depending on the player models.)  
Change each item in the “HDMI” menu according  
to the following settings:  
HDMI Control (RIHD): On  
2
• Even if you set to output audio on the TV speakers, audio  
will be output from the speakers connected to the AV  
receiver when you adjust the volume or switch the input on  
the AV receiver. To output audio from the TV speakers, re-  
do the operations on the TV.  
Audio Return Channel (ARC): Auto  
See details of each setting (pages 51, 52).  
• In case of an p connection with u and u audio  
control compatible components, do not connect the RI  
cable at the same time.  
• On the TV, when you select anything other than the HDMI  
jack to which the AV receiver is connected, the input on the  
AV receiver will be switched to “TV/CD”.  
• The AV receiver will automatically power on in  
conjunction when it determines it to be necessary. Even if  
the AV receiver is connected to an p compatible  
TV or player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not  
necessary. It may not power on in conjunction when the TV  
is set to output audio from the TV.  
• Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work  
depending on the component model connected. In such  
cases, operate the AV receiver directly.
