• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-  
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

ConnectingYour Speakers  
Enjoying Home Theater  
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your  
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.  
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.  
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).  
Surround left and right speakers  
These speakers are used for precise  
sound positioning and to add realistic  
ambience.  
Front left and right speakers  
These output the main sound.Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid  
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at  
about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so  
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.  
Position them at the sides of the lis-  
tener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet  
(60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally  
they should be equally spaced from the  
listener.  
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the front left  
and right speakers, making sound  
movements distinct and providing a  
full sound image. For movies it’s used  
mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to yourTV (preferably  
on top) facing forward at about ear  
level, or at the same height as the  
front left and right speakers.  
Subwoofer  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of  
the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.  
The volume and quality of the bass output  
from your subwoofer will depend on its posi-  
tion, the shape of your listening room, and  
your listening position.In general, a good bass  
sound can be obtained by installing the sub-  
woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way  
along the front wall, as shown.  
Surround back left and right speakers  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital  
EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround  
EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound  
and improve sound localization behind the listener. Posi-  
tion them behind the listener about 2–3 feet  
(60–100 cm) above ear level.  
Tip: To nd the best position for your sub-  
woofer, while playing a movie or some music  
with good bass, experiment by placing your  
subwoofer at various positions within the  
room and choose the  
one that provides  
the most satisfying  
results.

About Speakers A and Speakers B  
Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to have two speaker configurations of up to 5.1 speakers. (Speakers B cannot be  
used if Speakers A is used for 7.1-channel playback.) Each configuration has its own pair of stereo front speakers and  
can use the same subwoofer, center, surround, and surround back speakers, as required. You could, for example, use  
Speakers A when watching a DVD movie with surround sound (5.1-channels) and use Speakers B for serious music  
listening with a pair of stereo speakers and the subwoofer (2.1-channels).  
Speakers A and Speakers B are set in the “Speaker Settings” on page 51 and configured in the Speaker Configuration  
on page 94.  
Front Speakers A and front Speakers B can be wired normally, bi-amped, or bridged, but A and B cannot be bi-amped  
or bridged at the same time. For example, if front Speakers A are bridged, front Speakers B can only be wired normally.  
Similarly, if front Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only be wired normally. See pages 27–30 for more infor-  
mation.  
The Speakers A and Speakers B configurations are selected by using the [SP A] and [SP B] buttons on the remote  
controller. Only one configuration can be selected at a time.  
The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to  
suit your exact requirements and application. Two typical applications are shown below.  
5.1-channel Playback with Speakers A and  
Stereo Playback with Speakers B  
5.1-channel Playback with Bridged Front  
Speakers  
In this example, Speakers A provides 5.1-channel  
surround sound for enjoying DVD movies, while  
Speakers B is used for serious music listening with a  
pair of top-quality stereo speakers.  
In this example, Speakers A provides 5.1-channel  
surround sound for enjoying DVD movies and the  
front speakers are bridged (BTL) for greater power.  
Speakers B is not used.

Speaker Configuration  
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer  
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need  
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB-  
WOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered sub-  
woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re  
using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER  
PRE OUT to the amp’s input.  
The following table shows which channels you should  
use based on the number of speakers you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-  
woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.  
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you  
must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati-  
cally (see page 61) or manually (see page 94).  
Using Dipole Speakers  
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and  
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole  
speakers output the same sound in two directions.  
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to  
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left  
and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their  
arrows point toward your TV or screen, while the surround  
back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned  
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Attaching the Speaker Labels  
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are  
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)  
speaker terminals are all black.)  
You can connect speakers with an impedance of  
between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the  
connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6,  
be sure to set the speaker impedance to 4 ohms (see  
page 51). 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.  
Surround back left  
Surround back right  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you  
should attach them to the positive (+) side of each  
speaker cable in accordance with the above table.All you  
need to do then is to match the color of each label to the  
corresponding speaker terminal.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect  
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,  
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-  
nals. 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.  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
• Don’t connect more than one  
cable to each speaker termi-  
nal. Doing so may damage the  
AV receiver.

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

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

Which Connections Should I Use?  
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 other components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats:  
composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.  
which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI out-

For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-  
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the

Hooking Up the Multichannel Input  
If your DVD player supports multichannel audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD, and it has a multichannel  
analog audio output, you can connect it to the AV receiver’s multichannel input.  
Use a multichannel analog audio cable, or several normal audio cables, to connect the AV receiver’s MULTI CH FRONT  
DVD player. If your DVD player has a 5.1-channel analog audio output, don’t connect anything to the AV receiver’s  
SURR BACK L/R jacks.  
Before using the multichannel input, you must assign it to an input selector. See “Analog Input Setup” on page 60. To  
select the multichannel input, see “Selecting Audio Inputs” on page 78. To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity for the  
multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” on page 109.

Notes:  
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s on Standby.  
• If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect  
the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and  
video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details.  
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your  
source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the  
VCR/DVR OUTV jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via theVCR/DVR  
OUT S jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be  
connected to the VCR/DVR OUT S jack.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
About HDMI  
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital  
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now,  
several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can  
carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital  
audio, or multichannel PCM).  
*1  
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays  
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and  
displays, resulting in no picture.)  
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will  
display a picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:  
High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a  
Supported Audio Formats  
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz)  
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Mas-  
ter Audio)  
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.  
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.  
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT  
MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.  
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to  
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.  
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): 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.

ConnectingYour Components—Continued  
Making HDMI Connections  
Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV,  
projector, and so on.  
Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector. See “HDMI Input Setup” on page 54.  
Video Signals  
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI MAIN OUT and SUB OUT for  
display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI outputs.  
See “Video Connection Formats” on page 34 for more information.  
Audio Signals  
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV  
receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see  
page 109).  
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio  
Hint!  
Out setting to On (see page 109), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
When listening to audio from an HDMI component through the AV receiver’s speakers, set the HDMI  
component so that its video can be seen on your TV (e.g., on your TV, select the input to which the  
HDMI component is connected). If your TV is not turned on or a different input is selected, the AV  
receiver's speakers may produce no sound or the sound may be cut off.  
Note:  
• When the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 109), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening  
through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume control, the sound will be output by the AV  
receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s set-  
tings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

ConnectingYour Components—Continued  
Connecting Onkyo  
Components  
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).  
Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below).  
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 57).  
With  
(Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:  
Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected via  
on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components  
connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC  
, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn  
OUTLET on the AV receiver.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected via  
, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as  
the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel input, you’ll need to press the  
tion selects the DVD IN L/R jacks.

Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other  
-capable Onkyo components. You must enter  
the appropriate remote control code first (see page 127). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver  
and not the other component.

Using Audyssey MultEQ XT  
Automatic Speaker Setup  
(Audyssey MultEQ XT)  
Notes:  
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey  
MultEQ XT can measure the number of speakers con-  
nected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and distances  
from the listening position and calculate the optimal  
speaker settings for you automatically.  
• If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the  
Speaker Impedance setting before running the  
automatic speaker setup (see page 51).  
• Automatic speaker setup can only be used with  
Speakers A.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted  
automatically when the automatic speaker setup  
starts.  
Measurement Positions  
• Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed  
while a pair of headphones is connected, or Speak-  
ers B is selected.  
To create a listening environment in which several  
people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously,  
Audyssey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight  
positions within the listening area.  
• It takes about 15 minutes to complete the auto-  
matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea-  
surement time varies depending on the number of  
positions and speakers.  
1st measurement position  
This is the center position of your listening area, or  
the listening position if there’s only one listener.  
• Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone  
during the automatic speaker setup, unless you  
want to cancel the setup.  
2nd–8th measurement positions  
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the  
places where the other listeners will sit). You can  
measure up to eight positions.  
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during  
the automatic speaker setup.  
The following examples show some typical home theater  
seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches  
yours, and position the microphone accordingly when  
prompted.

Reviewing the Results  
In some cases, the measurements taken by the automatic  
speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running  
the speaker setup a second time doesn’t help, you’ll have  
to set the speaker settings manually (see pages 94–101).

you want to review, and then

• For THX-certified speakers, the 80 Hz (THX) cross-  
over frequency is recommended. If you use the auto-

Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very  
low-frequency sound and its position is usually low  
down, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker  
setup. In this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume,  
select its highest crossover frequency, and then try run-  
ning the automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the  
volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not  
be detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the  
subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or  
Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for  
details.

What is RDS?  
Science and technology  
Varied  
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of  
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed  
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail-  
able in most European countries. RDS is approved by the  
National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is  
available in North America.  
Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to dis-  
playing text information, RDS can also help you find  
radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).  
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa-  
tion:  
Pop music  
Rock music  
Middle of the road music  
Light classics  
Serious classics  
Other music

Notes:  
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the AV  
receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the  
radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis-  
played when unsupported characters are received.  
This is not a malfunction.  
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data  
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conven-  
tional analog AM and FM radio stations, with improved  
sound quality, better reception, and new data services.  
HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for  
FM stations and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In  
addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple  
programs on the same frequency by using multicast  
channels. Text data display incudes station name, song  
title, artist name, and so on.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the format of digital  
input signals automatically. However, if you experience  
either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS  
sources, you can specify the signal format manually.  
• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut  
off, try the PCM setting.  
If you connect a component to more than one audio

Dolby Digital  
About the Listening Modes  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
Dolby EX  
Pure Audio  
This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby Digital  
EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround  
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra  
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound  
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.  
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned  
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in  
high-fidelity audio reproduction. (As the video circuitry  
is turned off, only the HDMI outputs output video.)  
Note:  
• The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2 is on.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 48 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal  
resolution.  
Direct  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-  
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are  
output as they are.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete  
channels of lossless audio performance with 96 kHz/24-  
bit sampling rate and signal resolution.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers.  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to  
96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.  
DTS NEO:6  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan-  
nel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels of  
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing  
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience  
that fully envelops the listener.  
Multichannel  
This mode is for use with analog or PCM multichannel  
sources.  
• NEO:6 Cinema  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV,  
DVD, VHS).  
• NEO:6 Music  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan-  
nel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless sur-  
round-sound experience that fully envelops the listener.  
As well as music and movies, video games can also ben-  
efit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.  
DTS  
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby  
Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
• Dolby PLIIx Movie  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).  
• Dolby PLIIx Music  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to  
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-  
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that  
bear the DTS logo.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is  
high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and  
24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
• Dolby PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those  
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
DTS-ES Discrete  
THX  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks  
that use a discrete surround-back channel for true  
6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate  
audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-  
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan  
across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear  
the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Dis-  
crete soundtrack.  
Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent stan-  
dards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie the-  
aters and home theaters just as the director intended.  
• THX Cinema  
This mode is for watching movies, which are typi-  
cally recorded and edited on the assumption that they  
will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater.  
It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial character-  
istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the  
smaller home-theater environment. It can be used  
with 2-channel sources processed with other for-  
mats, and multichannel sources. Surround back  
speaker output depends on the source material and  
the selected listening mode.  
DTS-ES Matrix  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks  
that use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo.  
DTS-HD High Resolution  
• THX Ultra2 Cinema  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal  
resolution.  
This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-  
channel playback. It does this by analyzing the com-  
position of the surround source, optimizing the  
ambient and directional sounds to produce the sur-  
round back channel output.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
• THX Music Mode  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan-  
nels of uncompressed digital audio with 96 kHz/24-bit  
sampling rate and signal resolution.  
This mode is designed for use with music. It expands  
5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.  
• THX Games Mode  
This mode is designed for use with video games. It  
can expand 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback.  
The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to  
96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.  
• THX Surround EX  
This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby  
Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known  
as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint develop-  
ment between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.  
Neural THX 5.1/7.1  
Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic fre-  
quency domain processing, which allows delivery of a  
more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separa-  
tion and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX  
5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-chan-  
nel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback,  
respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV,  
VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, includ-  
ing video games. Neural-THX Surround can also be  
used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surround-  
sound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can  
enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo. XM  
Satellite Radio, for example, is using Neural-THX Sur-  
round on select channels, which the AV receiver can  
expand from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.  
DSD  
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format  
used to store digital audio on SuperAudio CDs (SACD).  
This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-  
channel audio.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
Mono Movie  
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono  
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,  
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other  
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a  
large hall.  
Unplugged  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-  
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
TV Logic  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-  
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Full Mono  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
With this mode, you can enjoy virtual 5.1 surround  
sound even with only two or three speakers. It works by  
controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right  
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.  
Note:  
• Since the Onkyo original DSP modes use the Dolby  
PLIIx and Neo:6 circuits for processing, when one of  
these modes is selected, the PLIIx indicator, or Neo:6  
indicator for multichannel sources, lights up.

Recording  
This section explains how to record the input source and  
how to record audio and video from separate sources.  
Recording from Different AV Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-  
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio  
source is switched when an audio-only input source,  
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video  
source remains the same.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder con-  
nected to the AUX 2 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded  
by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.  
• Sources connected to the analog multichannel input  
cannot be recorded.  
Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to  
the manuals supplied with your digital recording  
equipment for more details.  
• Digital input signals are output by only the digital out-  
puts, and analog input signals are output by only the  
analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from  
digital to analog or vice versa.

Adjusting the Listening Modes  
Using the Late Night Function  
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the  
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can  
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume  
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you  
don’t want to disturb anyone.

Notes:  
• The Late Night function can be used only when the  
input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or  
Dolby TrueHD.  
Using the Re-EQ Function  
With the Re-EQ function, you can compensate a  
soundtrack whose high-frequency content is too harsh,  
making it more suitable for home theater viewing.  
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the  
material that you are playing and the intention of the  
original sound designer, and with some material there  
will be little or no effect when you select the different  
options.  
This function can be used with the following listening  
modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro  
Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, DTS, DTS-  
ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, THX Cinema,  
THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 Cinema, and Multi-  
channel.  
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV  
receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources,  
it will be set to Auto.  
Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE  
MODE button, followed by the  
RECEIVER

Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued  
Direct Setting  
PLIIx/Neo:6 Settings  
Delay Enable  
PLIIx Music (2 ch Input)  
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.  
DSD  
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these  
settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro  
Logic IIx.  
This setting determines whether or not DSD (SACD)  
audio signals are passed through the DSP for A/V Sync,  
delay, etc., processing when the Direct listening mode is  
selected.  
Panorama  
No: DSD signals are not processed by the DSP.  
Yes: DSD signals are processed by the DSP.  
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front  
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
listening mode.  
On: Panorama function on.  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
Multiplex/Mono Settings  
Multiplex  
Dimension  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward  
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The  
default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound field  
forward. Lower settings move it backward.  
Input Ch  
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multi-  
plex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or  
languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV  
broadcasts, and so on.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much  
surround sound, move the sound field forward to  
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image  
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround  
sound, move it backward.  
Main: The main channel is output (default).  
Sub: The sub channel is output.  
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are out-  
put.  
Center Width  
Mono  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound  
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a  
center speaker, the center channel sound is output by  
only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center  
speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to  
the front left and right speakers to create a phantom cen-  
ter). This setting controls the front left, right, and center  
mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center  
channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default  
value is 3.  
Input Ch  
This setting determines which channel is output when  
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.  
L+R: Both the left and right channels are output  
(default).  
L: Only the left channel is output.  
R: Only the right channel is output.  
Output Speaker  
This setting determines which speakers output mono  
audio when the Mono listening mode is selected.  
L/R: Mono audio is output by the front left and right  
Neo:6 Music  
speakers.  
Center Image  
C: Mono audio is output by the center speaker  
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel  
surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this  
setting, you can specify by how much the front left and  
right channel output is attenuated in order to create the  
center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The  
default value is 3.  
(default).  
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the  
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when  
the listening position is considerably off center. When  
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-  
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby EX  
This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are han-  
dled.  
Multich PCM  
Sets the level of the LFE channel for multichannel PCM  
sources. (Multichannel PCM is input via HDMI.)  
Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select  
the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening  
mode.  
Manual:When the source is Dolby EX, you can select  
any of the listening modes compatible with this  
format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx,  
etc.).  
Listening Mode Presets  
On the Listening Mode Preset menu, you can specify a  
default listening mode for each of the audio formats sup-  
ported by each input selector. The AV receiver will then  
select the listening mode automatically depending on the  
format of the input signal. You can still select the other  
listening modes, although the default listening mode will  
be used the next time you turn on the AV receiver.  
T–D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting  
Listening Angle  
INPUT SELECTOR  
M
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-  
sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front  
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.  
Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi-  
distant from the listening position and at an angle close  
to one of the two available settings.

yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the AV receiver (page 76).  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the main room  
speakers (page 77).  
• Check the digital audio output settings on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

• Check the speaker settings (pages 94–101).  
• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it  
to Auto (page 78).  
• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an  
HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,  
and be sure to select a compatible audio format.

ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,  
and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-  
nected 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

Troubleshooting—Continued  
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 94).  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
round back speakers produce no sound (page 119).  
About DTS signals  
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,  
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player  
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-  
function.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your  
player from DTS to PCM, as the AV receiver does not  
switch formats immediately, you may not hear any-  
thing, in which case you should stop your player for  
about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.  
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback  
DTS material properly even though your player is con-  
nected 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 recog-  
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you  
may hear noise.  
• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE  
channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.  
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 94).  
The Zone 2/3 speakers produce no sound  
connected to an analog input. Check to see if the  
source component is connected to an analog input.  
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if Speaker Type Front  
A is set to Bi-Amp or BTL, or Speaker Type Front B  
is set to Normal, Bi-Amp, or BTL (page 51).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback  
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an  
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-  
nals, sound may not be output immediately.  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the sur-  
round back speakers produce no sound (page 119).  
Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode  
• The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2 is on.  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set  
(page 106).  
• After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been  
run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted (pages 76 and 99), the maximum vol-  
ume may be reduced.  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 33).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.

NENT VIDEO OUT or HDMI OUT (page 34).  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT

Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio  
performance, so don’t use them.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 89).  
• Check the multichannel input connections (page 38).  
• Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to  
the input selector (page 60).  
• Make sure that the multichannel input is selected  
(page 78).  
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

an HDMI IN  
• When the HDMI Monitor setting is set to No, and the  
Resolution setting is set to anything other than  
Through (see page 52), no video is output by the  
HDMI OUT.  
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV  
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not  
support the current video resolution and you need to  
select another resolution on your DVD player.  
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If  
more than one code is listed, try each one.  
• If none of the codes work, use the Learning function  
to learn the commands of the other component’s

allocate the same IP address to the AV receiver, so if  
you find that you can’t connect to a server or Internet  
radio station, recheck the AV receiver’s IP address on  
Network screen.  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by
