Before any home theater component can be THX Select certified, it  
must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only  
then can a product feature the THX Select logo, which is your guar-  
antee that the Home Theater products you purchase will give you  
superb performance for many years to come. THX Select require-  
ments define hundreds of parameters, including power amplifier  
performance, and pre-amplifier performance and operation for both  
digital and analog domains. THX Select receivers also feature pro-  
prietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode) which accurately  
translate film soundtracks for home theater playback.

Before Using the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E  
Notes:  
Setting the Voltage Selector  
(Worldwide model only)  
• 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 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 possible  
leakage and corrosion.  
• Dead batteries should be removed as soon as possible  
to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.  
The worldwide model has a voltage selector for com-  
patibility with power systems around the world. Before  
you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selec-  
tor is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t,  
use a small screwdriver to set it appropriately. For  
example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts (V), set  
the selector to “120V.” And if it’s between 220 and 230  
volts (V), set it to “220-230V.”

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is subjected to bright light,  
such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent  
lights. Keep this in mind when installing the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used  
in the same room, or the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is  
installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays,  
the remote controller may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote  
controller, because the buttons may be pressed inad-  
vertently, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is installed in a rack behind  
colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when install-  
ing the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
After the batteries are installed and  
seated correctly, replace the compart-  
ment cover .

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 antennas should be located away from possible  
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well  
away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.  
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local  
regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

Make sure the shielding is not touching the cen-  
tral conductor.  
Refit the adapter’s cover, and then plug  
the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.

Using the 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter  
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
The 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter is not supplied with  
USA, Canadian and European models.  
The 75/300 ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect  
an FM antenna using either 75 ohm coaxial cable or  
300 ohm twin-core flat cable.  
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.

About HomeTheater  
Enjoying Home Theater  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively  
sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.  
For the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, Onkyo recommends you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX  
Surround EX playback.  
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording  
formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.  
How to use speakers  
When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback).  
When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround  
playback).  
When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4  
channel surround playback).  
When you have five speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right  
speakers (5 channel surround playback).  
When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and  
surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback).  
When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,  
surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback).  
No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1  
channel playback).  
Front left and right speakers  
Output overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound  
images and fields.  
Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to the listener’s ears in the listening position  
for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that they are located symmetrically.  
Center speaker  
Complements the sound effects from  
front left and right speakers to enrich  
and clear the sound image and move-  
ment. In movies, an actor's speech  
comes mainly from the center  
speaker.  
Place the center speaker as close as  
possible to the TV or monitor, point-  
ing it towards the listener’s ears.  
Also, keep the center speaker’s  
height at the same level as the front  
left and right speakers.  
Surround back speakers  
Enhance the sound space repre-  
sentation with surround channel  
signals. Recreating sound  
movement effects and sound  
fields behind the listener gives a  
more realistic experience.  
Subwoofer  
Outputs only bass sounds to  
enhance and complement bass  
sound effects. Place the sub-  
woofer either at the front corner  
of the room or at a position 1/3  
from either front corner of the  
room.  
Surround left and right speakers  
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional  
sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of  
the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should  
be placed symmetrically.  
• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the  
sound to reach the listener is constant.Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance  
the volume level between speakers (See pages 33 and 35).

Speaker Placement  
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to  
place them properly to create the optimum sound space  
for your listening pleasure. During placement and  
connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and  
instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore,  
be aware that for surround playback, the configuration  
and placement of your speakers are both very important.  
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of  
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical  
examples of speaker placement and recommendations  
are shown.  
In order to create the optimum conditions for the best  
sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the  
greatest difference between the distances of each  
speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6  
meters).  
Surround back speakers  
• Place these speakers so that  
their height is 3 feet (1 meter)  
higher than that of the listener’s  
ears.  
10  
• When using surround back left  
and right speakers, place them  
behind the listener so that the  
angles between the lines from  
each speaker to the listener and  
a line straight back from the  
listener are about 30 degrees.

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality  
greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those  
characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening  
room as well as your listening point. Generally, good  
bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in  
the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the  
room.

Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how  
they should be oriented in the room. For correct  
acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround  
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point  
forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back  
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point  
toward each other.  
Corner  
1/3 room

To optimize the subwoofer placement, we  
recommend:  
• Playing a movie or music source containing good  
quality bass sound,  
• Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position  
in the room, and  
• Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most  
out of the bass sound while fixing the listening point.

Connecting Speakers  
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it  
is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to  
your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one  
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
• Connect either your surround back speakers or the  
speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone  
2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS  
terminals (See page 66).  
For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use  
banana plugs/connectors.  
Caution:  
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and  
16 Ω to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If the impedance of  
even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the  
speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).  
Using the Speaker Cable Labels  
The positive speaker terminals on the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E are color coded for easy identification.  
Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables,  
and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the  
corresponding terminals.  
Notes:  
• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to  
monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker  
in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals.

• To prevent damage to circuitry,  
never short-circuit the positive (+)  
and negative (–) speaker wire.  
• Be sure to connect the positive and  
negative cables for the speakers  
properly. If they are mixed up, the  
left and right signals will be reversed  
and the audio will sound unnatural.

AV Cables and Connectors  
• Always refer to the instructions that came with the  
component that you are connecting.  
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections  
have been properly made.  
• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper  
connections can result in noise, poor performance,  
or damage to the equipment.  
Improper connection  
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are  
used for the right channel, white connectors  
(marked L) are used for the left channel, and  
yellow connectors (marked V) are used for video  
connection.  
• The optical digital jacks are all of shutter-type  
construction. Connect an optical cable by first  
making sure the cable is oriented correctly and  
then inserting it into the jack by pushing the  
shutter lid inwards.  
Inserted completely  
• Do not bind audio/video connection cables with  
power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may  
adversely affect the picture and sound quality.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment  
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various  
components to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. There are  
many ways that any one component can be connected,  
and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your  
situation. The directions given here are only one option  
and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully  
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as  
well as those of your components and their features to  
ascertain which method of connection is best.  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
For DVD players or other devices that have component  
video connectors, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has two  
banks of component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR)  
for direct component video input. The TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E also has one bank of component video  
output connectors for direct component video output to  
the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other  
display device. By sending the pure component video  
signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing  
that normally would degrade the image. The result is  
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike  
colors and crisp details.  
DIGITAL IN/OUT  
On the rear panel of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, there  
are three coaxial digital inputs, three optical digital  
inputs, and two optical digital outputs. To the digital  
inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players,  
or other digital source components. To the digital output,  
connect MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or  
other similar components.  
• Since an analog connection must be made when using  
REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection  
to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.  
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use  
an optical fiber cable.  
Connecting a Television Monitor or  
Projector (MONITOR OUT)  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is equipped with a simple  
Y/C separate circuit and simpleY/C mixed circuit. Since  
both the signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs  
are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if  
the television or projector is equipped with an S video  
input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors.  
If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the  
MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.  
VIDEO IN/OUT  
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear  
panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs  
and each one includes both composite video and S video  
configurations.  
Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the  
video input jack (composite) of the device to the MON-  
ITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the TX-NR801/  
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and  
other video components to the video inputs. Connect  
VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the  
video outputs to make video recordings.  
• When connecting a VCR or other video component,  
make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the  
same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).  
TX-NR801E. Or if the device has an S video input jack,  
connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E using an S video connection  
cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, con-  
nect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUT-  
PUT jacks on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If a model  
is for other than USA, Canada or Australia and its TV  
Format is PAL, when you use the connections described  
above, video signals that come in from S VIDEO and  
VIDEO IN are output to the TV, projector, etc.  
• The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.  
The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
Signals that comes in from COMPONENTVIDEO INPUT  
are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT.  
When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television  
to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:  
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are  
output to VIDEO and S VIDEO. Those signals are not  
output to COMPONENTVIDEO OUTPUT. A projector  
or monitor TV should be connected to VIDEO and S  
VIDEO IN.  
For other models whose TV Format is PAL:  
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are  
output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT  
VIDEO. When you connect a projector or monitor TV  
to COMPONENT VIDEO inputs, you do not have to  
connect them to VIDEO and S VIDEO inputs.

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the  
DIGITAL OUT OPT jack of the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E for digital recording of the REC OUT  
signal from the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
However, if the same device also has a digital output and  
it has already been connected to the TX-NR801/TX-  
NR801E, you cannot connect the digital input of the  
device to the DIGITAL OUT jack of the TX-NR801/TX-  
NR801E simultaneously.  
Ground wire (earth)  
Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the  
output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks  
of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. Make sure that you  
properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the  
right channel to the R jack.  
Note:  
Note:  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is designed for use with  
moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, con-  
nect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For  
some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire  
may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground  
wire is not necessary and should not be connected.  
The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is only the digital signal input  
to the DIGITAL IN jack.

other settings when it is unplugged or in the case of a  
power failure. Although no batteries are required, the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E must be plugged into an AC  
outlet in order to charge the backup system.  
(On other than USA, Canadian and Australian models,  
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s POWER switch must be  
set to ON in order to charge the backup system.) Once it  
has been charged, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will

Setup Menu  
When making the various settings required to configure your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E for optimum performance, you  
can either use the OSD Menu that appears on your television monitor or you can use the display on the front of the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. The OSD Menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor. For your reference  
when performing the setting procedures, this manual shows both the OSD Menu displayed on your television monitor  
and the display on the front of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.  
The Setup Menu consists of the Basic Menu that is divided up into 4 menus, the Hardware Setup Menu, the Speaker  
Setup Menu, the Input Setup Menu, and the Audio Adjust Menu, and the Advanced Menu that contains the menus of  
the Basic Menu, the Preference Menu, and the Network Setup Menu. These menus are then divided up into various sub-  
menus, and these contain settings for you to optimize your home theater as you wish.  
The display shown below is an example. The actual contents of your display may differ depending on the model of your  
region and the selected input source.

heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try  
playing the source with the “DTS” selected.  
This setting tells the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E which  
input source button on the front panel is connected with  
which digital input jack on the rear panel.  
For example, if the input source selected at the front  
panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to  
DIGITAL IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the  
input source selected is not connected to a digital input,  
then select “----.”  
• The DTS indicator on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E  
lights while a DTS source is played. When playback  
finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E remains in DTS mode and  
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise  
when you operate the pause or skip button on the  
player. Therefore, if the source is immediately  
switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not  
be played. In this case, stop the playback of the  
source on the player for about three seconds and then  
resume playback.  
OPT1-3: Select if the input source is connected to  
any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3.  
COAX1-3: Select if the input source is connected to  
any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.  
----: Select if the input source is not from a digital  
input jack.  
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals  
from certain CD players and LD players even when  
you connect the player to the TX-NR801/  
b. Digital Format  
TX-NR801E digitally. This is because the digital sig-  
nal has been processed (such as the output level, sam-  
pling frequency, or frequency response) and the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E cannot recognize the signal  
as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you  
play a DTS source while processing the signal.  
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT,  
TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio  
signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support  
DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded  
signal will be recorded as noise.  
Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig-  
nal detection at the selected digital terminal.  
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this  
input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting  
cannot be selected. Although you can use this default  
setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on  
the input signal format or if you know that you will  
always be listening to a certain input signal format from  
a particular input source.  
All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal  
will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig-  
ital signal input, analog signal will be played.  
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in  
“All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or  
rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be  
output.  
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between  
PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non-  
PCM sound input will not be output.  
Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (When NET AUDIO  
is not selected as the input source)  
When any input source other than NET AUDIO is  
selected, this sub-menu appears and allows you to set  
the multichannel input setting.  
The setting in this sub-menu is normally set to “No,”  
and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player,  
MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi-  
channel port is connected to the MULTI CH INPUT  
port for 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel audio.  
The default setting for “DVD” is set to “Yes” and the  
one for other input sources is set to “No.” When the ana-  
log output from a DVD player is not connected to the  
MULTI CH INPUT port, change this setting to “No.”  
For details on the device connection and setting proce-  
dures, see “Enjoying analog multichannel audio play-  
back” on page 64.  
Notes:  
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to  
select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will  
be heard.  
• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected,  
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will not automatically  
switch to analog output even though “Auto” is  
selected with the AUDIO SELECTOR button.  
Notes on DTS:  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the  
“PCM” setting is selected on the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E, the DTS encoded signal will not be  
decoded and noise will be output. This noise could  
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure  
to select “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks  
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is  
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until  
the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal  
and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.  
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player  
while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be

Digital with 5.1 discrete channels consisting of three  
front channels (front left, front right, and center), two  
surround channels (surround left and surround right),  
and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.  
When the front channel number is 2, they are the front  
left and front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When  
the surround channel number is 1, it is monaural; when  
it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE num-  
ber is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no  
program format for the input signal, nothing will be dis-  
played.  
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a  
source component connected to analog audio input  
jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input  
from the same component, only the analog signal will be  
output.  
When the input signal is linear PCM  
The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the  
display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM  
and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.  
Adjusting the bass and treble  
You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup  
Menu →AudioAdjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of  
Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has  
been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see  
a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dia-  
log Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue  
Normalization serves to let you know if the source  
material has been recorded at a higher or lower level  
than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dialog  
Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall  
output level constant just turn down the volume control  
by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you  
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than

Using the Listening Modes  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s surround sound enables  
you to enjoy movie theater or concert hall quality sound  
in your home.  
The configuration of the speakers is very important for  
the surround sound effect. Refer to “About Home  
Theater” on page 16.  
Before selecting a listening mode, be sure to complete  
the Speaker Setup (See page 32). Once the parameters  
have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See  
pages 44-45 for information regarding how to select the  
listening mode.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
As opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four chan-  
nels (front left/right, center, and surround) recorded into  
two channels with matrix processing and then played  
back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feed-  
back logic circuit to have 5.1 channel surround audio  
(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two chan-  
nels and then played back in its original 5.1 channel  
form.  
Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie Mode designed for  
playing movies and a Music Mode designed for listening  
to music.  
In the Movie Mode, the surround channels, which used  
to provide monaural output over only a narrow fre-  
quency range, now provide complete stereo output over  
the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing  
with a realistic feel of movement. This mode can be used  
withVHS and DVD videos with the  
Listening Modes  
Mono  
This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is  
recorded in monaural or for playing the left and right  
channels separately for movies that contain different lan-  
guage signals. This mode also allows you to listen to the  
multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs and other media that  
have them.  
mark and certain television programs.  
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide  
a natural soundfield that cannot be provided with normal  
stereo output. This mode can be used with music com-  
pact discs and other stereo sources.  
Pure Audio  
The same as the direct mode except that the pure audio  
mode also turns off the display window, turns off the  
power supply to the video circuitry (resulting in a  
blacked-out screen), and minimizes the sources of noise.  
The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the  
original source.  
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)  
This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.  
Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maxi-  
mum of 5.1 channel surround sound. This source signal

Direct  
DTS Neo:6  
This mode delivers pure sound with minimal sound qual-  
ity adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the  
right and left front channels is output to the right and left  
front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.  
This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of sources such as  
PCM or analog sources that have only two channels. The  
outputs of all six channels have a wide frequency range  
with a great separation between the different channels.  
This mode can be set to the Cinema Mode designed for  
playing movies and the Music Mode designed for listen-  
ing to music.  
Stereo  
All input sound is output from the left and right front  
speakers.  
The subwoofer is also used for playback.  
The Cinema Mode is good for movies. The reproduced  
surround sound provide the same realistic feel of move-  
ment as 6.1 channel sources. This mode can be used with  
VHS and television programs with stereo sound.  
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide  
a natural sound space that cannot be provided with nor-  
mal stereo output. This mode can be used with music  
CDs and other stereo sources.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recom-  
mended that you have front left and right speakers, a cen-  
ter speaker, and surround left and right speakers.  
However, if you only have front left and right speakers,  
you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.  
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that  
reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To  
receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening posi-  
tion (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listen-  
ing angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components  
are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result,  
so be sure to set up your system and listening position to  
minimize reflective sound.  
DTS  
This mode is used for playing DTS sources.  
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data  
with a maximum 5.1 channel surround output (6.1 channel  
with DTS-ES Discrete sources) that allows for an  
extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a  
DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from  
DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the  
mark.

source is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX  
format. In this case, the sound actually output from  
the surround back channels depends on the source  
and may not fit your tastes.  
With the addition of the surround back channel, this  
new format has all 6.1 channels recorded indepen-  
dently for a completely discrete digital format. Since  
all channels are recorded independently, high-fidel-  
ity surround playback with an increased feeling of a  
separated sound space is achieved.  
• DTS-ES Matrix  
This format has the surround back channel matrix  
encoded and inserted into the left and right surround  
channels so that at playback the output for the left,  
right, and back surround channels are decoded using  
a high-precision matrix decoder.  
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes  
• DTS 96/24  
Mono Movie  
Automatically changes to this mode when playing  
back sources with surround tracks that were encoded  
using the DTS 96/24 technology.  
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural record-  
ing such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel  
delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the  
other channels deliver the center-channel sound pro-  
cessed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows  
you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a  
movie theater.  
THX  
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies  
established by the world-renowned film production com-  
pany, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’  
personal desire to make your experience of the film  
soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home the-  
ater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.  
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters  
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back  
in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions.  
This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto  
LD, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for play-  
back in a small home theater environment.  
THX engineers developed patented technologies to  
translate accurately the sound from the movie theater  
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spa-  
tial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX  
indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in  
Cinema Modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).  
• THX Cinema  
Enhance  
This mode reproduces a natural surround environment  
by using seven speaker channels. The sound effects  
move smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is  
good for music and TV sports programs.  
Orchestra  
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music.  
The center channel is cut and the surround channels are  
emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate  
the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.  
Unplugged  
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds,  
vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo  
image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would  
experience in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
This is the conventional 5.1 channel THX format.  
This mode should be used only when playing back  
sources that were mixed for playback in large movie  
theater environments.  
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively  
sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that  
simulates the feeling of being at a club or rock concert.  
TV Logic  
• THX Surround EX  
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that  
are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire sur-  
round sound and clarity of the conversation.  
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX”  
is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the  
THX division of THX Ltd.  
All Ch Stereo  
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been  
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technol-  
ogy are able to reproduce an extra channel which has  
been added during the mixing of the program. This  
channel, called Surround Back, places sounds  
behind the listener in addition to the currently avail-  
able front left, front center, front right, surround  
right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.  
This additional channel provides the opportunity for  
more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings  
more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localiza-  
tion than ever before.  
This mode is designed for playing background music.  
The front, surround, and surround back channels create  
a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Listening to RDS Broadcasts  
PTY Program Types in Europe  
RDS reception is available only on the European model  
and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.  
The text given in parenthesis is what is actually dis-  
played on the TX-NR801E.  
None (NONE):  
What is RDS?  
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM  
broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European  
Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most  
European countries. Many FM broadcasting stations  
now transmit the RDS signals, which provide the addi-  
tional information required. RDS provides you with var-  
ious services so that you can choose a station that  
broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or  
other information.  
No program type.  
News reports (NEWS):  
Reports on current events and happenings.  
Current affairs (AFFAIRS):  
Topical reporting of current affairs, often with a wider  
range of topics than news reports.  
Information (INFO):  
General information such as weather forecasts, con-  
sumer affairs, medical help, etc.  
There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts.  
Though they can be tuned into by using the Tuning but-  
tons as normal stations, RDS broadcasts allow you to  
scan for stations of the type and classification for which  
you are looking. This makes it much easier for you to  
find the station you want (See “Performing a PTY Scan”  
and “Performing a TP Scan” on page 49). The three main  
classifications are explained below.  
Sports (SPORT):  
Live sports action, sports news, and interviews.  
Education (EDUCATE):  
Formal educational programs.  
Drama (DRAMA):  
Radio plays and serials.  
Culture (CULTURE):  
RT: Radio Text  
Cultural programs (including religious affairs).  
When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is  
selected, the text information received from the station is  
displayed.  
Science and technology (SCIENCE):  
Programs about the natural sciences and technology.  
Varied (VARIED):  
Speech-based programs not covered by the above cate-  
gories (e.g., quizzes, panel games, and comedy).  
PTY: Program Type  
When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is  
selected, the station type (classification) is displayed.  
Pop music (POP M):  
Popular commercial music, usually from past or present  
sales charts (e.g., Top 40).  
TP: Traffic Program  
When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is  
selected, traffic information will be broadcasted periodi-  
cally.  
Rock music (ROCK M):  
Popular music with an alternative appeal, often not  
appearing on sales charts.  
Notes:  
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the display  
of the TX-NR801E may not be exactly the same as the  
ones broadcast by the radio station. Also, unusual  
characters may appear on the display if the  
TX-NR801E receives characters that cannot be dis-  
played correctly. This is not a malfunction.  
• When an RDS station broadcasting PS information is  
selected, the name of the station is displayed instead  
of the frequency.  
Middle of the road music (M.O.R. M):  
Easy listening music (as opposed to Pop, Rock, or Clas-  
sical).  
Light classics (LIGHT M):  
Classical music for general rather than specialist appre-  
ciation.  
Serious classics (CLASSICS):  
Performances of major orchestral works, symphonies,  
chamber music, etc. (including Grand Opera).  
Other music (OTHER M):  
Music styles not covered by the above categories (e.g.,  
Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Country, and Reggae).  
• Alarm (ALARM):  
When an RDS station is making an emergency broad-  
cast, this ALARM will flash on the display.

Notes:  
• If you change the input source during recording, you will  
record the signals from the newly selected input source.  
• You cannot record the surround effects.  
• Be aware that the remote (Zone 2) and recording  
(REC OUT) outputs use the same circuit and therefore  
cannot be used at the same time.  
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) and  
DIGITAL IN (OPT) inputs will be output to the DIG-  
ITAL OUT (OPT) output. However, MP3, WMA,  
WAV, and other music formats played using NetAudio  
are only output as analog audio.  
• Digital input signals are only output to the digital out-  
puts and analog input signals are only output from the  
analog outputs. There is no conversion from digital to  
analog or vice versa. When connecting CD players  
and other digital components, do not connect only the

Recording the Video from One  
• If you change the input source during recording, you  
will record the audio signals from the newly selected  
input source and the video signals assigned to that  
input source.  
Source and the Audio from Another  
You can add the sound from one source to the video of  
another source to make your own video recordings.  
Below is an example of recording the sound from a com-  
pact disc player connected to CD IN and the video from  
a video camera connected to VIDEO 5 INPUT to video  
cassette tape in a video cassette recorder connected to  
the VIDEO 1 OUT jack.

Quit:[SETUP]  
The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large  
dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises  
and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as  
background noises or human conversations, the movie must  
be played back at higher volumes. When this setting is set  
to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is nar-  
rowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sounds at  
low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish  
to play a movie at a low volume during the nighttime.  
This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”  
However, when the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E enters the  
standby state, this setting returns to the default setting (“Off”).  
a. Re-EQ  
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness”  
out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact  
that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when  
played back through speakers in the home environment.  
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”  
You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller  
for setting “On” or “Off.”  
b. Upsampling  
Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the dig-  
ital signal converted from an analog input source, and  
converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its cur-  
rent frequency for an even further detailed sound repro-  
duction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When  
“On” is selected, the UPSAMPLING indicator lights.  
Notes:  
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby  
Digital encoded software.  
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by  
Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may  
produce little or no effect.

however, if the source is recorded with the low frequency  
range too strong, lower this setting as necessary.  
a. A/V Sync  
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be  
times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD  
player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where  
the sound and picture do not match and the sound is  
heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to prop-  
erly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be  
set between 0 and 74.0 ms in 0.5 ms increments. Under  
normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If the delay  
time is set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, and upsampling is  
used, the delay will be fixed at 24.0 ms. Note that a  
change in the setting will not be displayed.

adjustments) are made, the system is set up to provide a typ-  
ical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative  
position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to  
be more spread out (deeper) or focused (shallower).

a. Academy Filter  
Older monaural film mixes relied on high-frequency  
rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so  
that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film  
would not be heard. The high-frequency loss was typi-  
cally due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical  
filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some  
films have been transferred to video without such a high-  
frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy.  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E includes this “Academy  
Filter,” which is based on contemporary playback prac-  
tices for such films over wide-range systems.

DTS Neo:6 Cinema listening mode.  
Neo:6 Music: Select when you want to enable the  
DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode.  
b. Center  
In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system  
has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be  
output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems  
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of  
the center speaker may provide a better sound space and  
reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper  
soundfield, it is important that the speaker levels and  
speaker distances among the front right, front left, and  
center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this,  
make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Sub-  
menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)  
On: Select to have the center channel signal output  
to the center speaker.  
You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using  
the remote controller. While playing the analog or PCM  
source, press the SURROUND button on the remote  
controller. Each press of the button cyclically changes  
the listening modes in the order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII  
Music,” “Neo:6 Cinema,” and “Neo:6 Music.”  
b. Surr Mode (D.F.2ch)  
Changes the surround mode for when 2 channel digital  
signals are input.  
Off: Select to have the center channel signal output  
to the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).  
PLII Movie: Select when you want to enable the  
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie listening mode.  
PLII Music: Select when you want to enable the  
Dolby Pro Logic ll Music listening mode.  
Neo:6 Cinema: Select when you want to enable the  
DTS Neo:6 Cinema listening mode.  
c. Front Expander  
The front expander function spreads out the stereo image  
in front of the listener. The created stereo image is as if  
the front speakers have been farther apart for the feeling  
of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for nar-  
row listening angles of 20 degrees or less.  
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to  
simulate a wider sound space.  
Neo:6 Music: Select when you want to enable the  
DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode.  
You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using  
the remote controller. When you play 2ch digital source  
other than PCM (ex., the source in Dolby Digital for-  
mat), each press of the SURROUND button on the  
remote controller cyclically changes the listening modes  
in the order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII Music,” “Neo:6 Cin-  
ema,” and “Neo:6 Music.”  
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for  
a normal sound space.  
d. Virtual Surr Level  
This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround sig-  
nal. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this  
setting can improve the sound when the definition is  
unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording  
feels somewhat like monaural or has narrowness, move  
the sound space backward to get more surroundness.  
If you have surround back speakers connected, use this  
setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX  
playback.  
g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width  
Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for  
Surround EX), the playback is automatically  
changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no  
EX flag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.  
On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.  
Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.  
If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have  
a surround channel, then the playback will be normal  
Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.  
You can easily change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings  
using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital  
source, after displaying the current listening mode with a  
press of the SURROUND button, each press of the SUR-  
ROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes  
the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,”  
and “Off.”  
In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from  
the center speaker. When the center speaker is not used,  
the decoder will divide the center signal equally to both  
the front left and right speakers to create a “phantom”  
center sound image.  
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you  
to adjust from where the center sound image is heard.  
Using this, you can have the soundfield be heard from  
the center speaker only, from the front left and right  
speakers only (as a phantom center sound image), or  
from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in  
various level combinations. The soundfield varies  
between 0 and 7 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.  
For home use, applying some width to the center signal  
will improve the level balance for the center and main  
speakers, and will effect the width of the center sound  
image, or “weight” of the sound. Many sound recordings  
processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better  
by proper control of this setting. The recommended set-  
ting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows you  
to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from  
the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automati-  
cally set to “0.”  
d. DTS-ES  
This setting selects the DTS-ES mode.  
Auto: Select to have the listening mode change auto-  
matically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix  
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID sig-  
nal for DTS-ES). If the DTS source has no DTS-ES  
flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.  
On: Select to have the listening mode change automati-  
cally to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix when the  
DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS + Neo:6  
when the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag.  
Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even  
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this  
setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS  
5.1 mode.  
h. Center Image  
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from 2 channel  
PCM and analog sources.  
In the cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds  
steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right  
channels.  
In the music mode, the intent in the front channels is less  
one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front  
image by augmenting it with a center channel, while pre-  
serving the original perspective of the stereo mix. There-  
fore, the derived center is never fully subtracted from the  
left and right channels.  
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of sub-  
traction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the  
default value is 3.  
When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is  
subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center  
Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left  
and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel.  
The signal level sent to the center channel output is not  
affected by Center Image.  
You can also easily change the DTS-ES mode settings  
using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source,  
after displaying the current listening mode with a press  
of the SURROUND button, each press of the SUR-  
ROUND button on the remote controller cyclically  
changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,”  
and “Off.”  
e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama  
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to  
include the surround speakers for an exciting wrap-  
around effect with side wall imaging.  
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension  
This control should be set based on room layout and per-  
sonal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right  
channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix.  
A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance,  
which is particularly desirable if listeners are located  
well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker  
anchors the image.  
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield for-  
ward or backward. It varies between 0 and 6 in steps of  
1 and the default value is 3.  
The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the set-  
ting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward and  
setting to “4” or higher to move the sound space backward.  
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or a too strong  
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the  
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is

a. Front Effect  
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation.  
When you play these sources, more reverberation will be  
applied by the DSP, creating too many reverb effects and  
the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this  
setting to “Off” so that no reverberation from the DSP  
will be applied to the sound output from the three front  
channels. With this setting, the sound source is played as  
it is without any further reverberation.  
Off: Select not to output using THX Surround EX  
regardless of whether or not the source contains EX  
identifiers (Dolby D is used).  
You can also easily change the THX Surround EX mode  
settings using the remote controller. While playing a

Enjoying Music in the Remote Zone  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E allows you to watch and  
listen to two separate input sources at the same time.  
This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a  
television in two different rooms so that two or more  
people can enjoy two different movies at the same time.  
The room where the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is actually  
located is referred to as the main room while the separate  
room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addi-  
tion, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E allows you to control the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the  
remote controller even though the remote zone is physi-  
cally separated.  
When using the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote  
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)  
In order to use the remote controller to control the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E from a remote location, you  
will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold sepa-  
rately) such as one of those given below:  
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote  
Controller Extension System)  
Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug in any  
equipment to the power outlet until all the connections  
are complete.

If the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is located inside a  
cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from  
the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with  
the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case,  
it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a  
location outside of the cabinet that the infrared rays from  
the controller can reach.  
With this connection, select “Main” for the  
Hardware Setup → Remote Setup → Position in the  
Setup Menu (See page 31).  
If Remote Controller Signal Does not  
Reach Other Components  
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially  
available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR  
emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E and then place the IR emitter on the remote  
sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR  
emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN  
terminal is output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal  
input from the remote sensor on the front of the  
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will not be output to the IR

* How much free space is actually required also  
depends somewhat on such factors as the format and  
residual space on your hard disk, and the bit rate at  
which you make recordings.  
* Depending on the MP3 encoder you use, your  
recorded file may not be playable, or the music will  
be degraded by noise, or will generate unpleasant  
sounds.  
Features  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is a network audio cli-  
ent that, connected via a LAN to a PC, allows you to  
enjoy music files saved on the PC, as well as Internet  
radio, from anywhere in your home.  
Internet radio features  
Also note that no WMA format file with copyright pro-  
tection enabled is playable on the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E provides enhanced sup-  
port for Internet radio and allows you to:  
• Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from  
Internet radio stations  
• Select stations by genre, location, or language  
• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations  
System Requirements  
Requirements for listening to both Internet radio sta-  
tions and music files saved on the music server  
I Modem (a device that provides Internet connections  
via leased lines; e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem,  
terminal adapter)  
* To have access to Internet, you typically need to con-  
tract with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem  
requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed  
information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.  
I Router (gateway) (a device that enables multiple  
PCs or devices to connect to the Internet simulta-

Net-Tune Features  
The Net-Tune Central is software that distributes music  
files stored on PC through a LAN to the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E.  
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E plays distributed music  
data whenever you need it.  
*This software is available from Onkyo’s websites.

Japan→ http://www.onkyo.co.jp/  
Asia, Oceania, and Central and South America  
→ http://www.onkyo-intl.com/  
An IP address can be obtained automatically by using  
the router’s DHCP function.  
In connecting Net-Tune Central and the TX-NR801/  
TX-NR801E, the standard TCP/IP network protocol  
and the Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol are used for  
music distribution through a LAN. The NTSP protocol  
handles not only data for the music itself but also addi-  
tional music information, including the name of tracks  
and artists, thus enabling high usability.  
In addition to the music distribution server function,  
Net-Tune Central can automatically retrieve music files  
stored on a PC to register them easily with the Net-Tune  
Central database.  
Net-Tune Central supports WAVE (PCM), MP3 and  
WMA formats. The WAVE format has high sound qual-  
ity (equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3  
format is widely used in the Internet environment and  
has near-CD quality with compression. The WMA for-

• You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to  
Internet radio, depending on the ISP you choose. If  
your PC is configured to use a proxy server for Inter-  
net access, theTX-NR801/TX-NR801E must also be  
configured the same way. For more information, see  
“Proxy Setup Sub-menu” (See page 73).  
Hint:  
Connecting more than one TX-NR801/TX-NR801E  
unit to a router enables several users to listen to Internet  
radio at different stations or different music pieces con-  
tained in the same library on the PC.  
• The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is designed to take  
advantage of the DHCP and AutoIP functionality,  
thereby automatically configuring the network set-  
tings. If you opt not to use the DHCP and AutoIP  
functionality, you should manually configure the net-  
work settings. For more information, see “a. DHCP/

Before you can use the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E to play  
music contained in the music library on the Net-Tune  
server and listen to Internet radio, you must correctly  
configure the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s network set-  
tings so that it can connect to your LAN and the Internet.  
It is strongly recommended to use a broadband connec-  
tion (via an xDSL or CATV leased line) and a router. If  
you are connected to the Internet via a narrowband dial-  
up connection, you may not be able to enjoy Internet  
radio as you expect or at all.  
Before setting up the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, make sure  
that you are already using a router that provides Internet  
access and that the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is correctly  
connected with your router or hub via a LAN cable.  
For more information on Internet connectivity, consult  
with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the  
router documentation.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and  
AutoIP are mechanisms for network configuration,  
which assign IP addresses automatically to network  
devices such as the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, PC, and  
broadband router.  
DNS (Domain Name System) is a mechanism which  
translates domain names into IP addresses or vice versa.

Letting the Remote Controller Learn the Codes  
from Other Remote Controllers  
Programming Procedure  
While pressing and holding down the  
desired MODE button on the remote con-  
troller, press the ENTER/ZONE 2 button  
and then release both buttons.  
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the  
MODE button is pressed and turns off when the  
ENTER button is pressed. When the indicator  
turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/  
LEARN indicator lights again.  
2
When programming the commands of another remote  
controller to the RC-511M remote controller, you must  
first decide under to which MODE button you want the  
commands to be linked. In general, you will select the  
MODE button that corresponds to the component you are  
programming. For example, if you are programming the  
functions from a remote controller for a compact disc  
player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then,  
by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-  
511M remote controller will change to the commands  
you program here to operate the compact disc player.  
After programming which MODE button to use, you  
will then transfer the separate commands from the other  
remote controller over to the RC-511M remote control-  
ler one at a time. Each command is then programmed to  
a different button on the RC-511M remote controller.  
Any button is programmable for this step except for the  
eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/MD,  
NET A, TV, VCR, and CABLE), the two MACRO but-  
tons (1 and 2), and the LIGHT button.  
Press and release the button on the  
remote controller to which you want to  
transfer the next command.  
You may select any button excluding the eleven  
ones indicated in the figure below. When you  
press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator  
turns off. When you release the button, the indica-  
tor lights again.  
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press  
that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indi-  
cator flashes twice, and the remote controller  
exits the programming mode.  
3
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep  
your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some rea-  
son the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run  
down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

Letting the Remote Controller Learn the Codes from Other Remote  
Controllers—Continued  
Notes:  
Erasing the programmed command from one  
button  
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc  
players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini  
disc recorder have already been programmed into  
buttons on the remote controller. You may, however,  
use these buttons to program the codes for other  
remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo  
preset codes after you program new codes, you must  
first erase the new codes (See this page).  
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8  
modes × 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may  
have more commands than can be remembered by the  
remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary  
for you to determine which commands are more  
important to you.  
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three  
times and turns off, then the remote controller has  
exited the programming mode because either you  
have made a mistake during programming or a time-  
out has occurred because no button was pressed.  
Resume from Step 2.  
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.  
Press and hold down the MODE button for

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of  
the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator  
flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller  
exits the programming mode. Try programming  
under a different MODE button.  
• When you want to program a command to a button to  
which you have already programmed a command, sim-  
ply follow the same procedure given and the previous  
programming for that button will be overwritten.  
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its  
commands, as do most other remote controllers.  
Though most remote controller codes can be memo-  
rized by the remote controller, be aware that some  
remote controllers use systems that are quite different  
from the remote controller and therefore may not be  
able to be programmed.  
• Some remote controllers have a single button that  
performs multiple functions (for example, the func-  
tion may change each time the button is pressed). If  
this is the case, each function must be programmed to  
a separate button on the remote controller.  
• Once you have transferred the commands from the  
other remote controller, refer to the instruction man-  
ual that came with that product for instructions on  
how to operate that product.  
Note:  
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during  
the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator  
flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller  
exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.

again.  
When you release the button, the SEND/LEARN  
indicator slowly flashes twice. This erases all the  
commands memorized to the MODE button.

Notes:  
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur-  
ing the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indica-  
tor flashes three times quickly and the remote  
controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.  
• If you perform an invalid operation during erasing,  
the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times  
quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing  
mode. Resume from Step 1.  
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other  
remote controller have new batteries. If either of them  
has batteries that are low, you may not be able to pro-  
gram the commands of the other remote controller  
properly into the remote controller.  
• If many commands have been programmed to the  
MODE button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator  
may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2.  
This is not a malfunction.

Using the Macro Function  
What is the macro function?  
Programming the Macro  
A macro function enables you to program a series of  
button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller  
into a single button. The series of operations are then  
called a macro. For example, to play a compact disc  
player connected to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E nor-  
mally, you must perform the following steps:  
With the macro function, you can program a series of  
button operations as a macro into the MACRO button so  
the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note  
that for the macro function, only two macros can be  
programmed. For example, to program the macro  
described above on this page for the MACRO button,  
perform the steps given below.  
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.  
2. Press the ON button.  
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.  
4. Press the CD MODE button.  
5. Press the playback ( ) button.  
By using the macro function, you can perform the above  
five operations by only pressing one button.  
Press and hold down any one of the 8

MODE buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2)  
button, and then release both buttons.  
When you press the MODE button, it lights and  
the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you  
press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, the indicator  
turns off. When you release the buttons, the indi-  
cator flashes briefly and then lights again.

Notes:  
Tips:  
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the  
macro function. If you try to program a 17th opera-  
tion, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.  
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three  
times and turns off, then the remote controller has  
exited the programming mode because either you  
have made a mistake during programming or a time-  
out has occurred because no button was pressed.  
Resume from Step 1.  
• If you erase or change the command of a button pro-  
grammed in the macro, that operation of that button  
will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will  
be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order  
to avoid incorrect operation.  
• The codes programmed into the macro will be trans-  
mitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some  
devices may not be able to complete one operation in  
0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case,  
after pressing one operation button, you can press the  
same MODE button again before pressing the next  
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between  
the two operations.
