• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used  
in the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close  
to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con-  
troller may not work reliably.  
Put the cover onto the remote controller  
and slide it shut.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-  
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-  
ently, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an  
obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote con-  
trol sensor.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.

About Home Theater  
Enjoying Home Theater  
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your  
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With  
analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.  
Front left and right speakers  
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid  
anchor for the sound image.They should be positioned facing the listener at about  
ear level, and equidistant from theTV.Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,  
with the listener at the apex.

Corner  
left and right speakers.  
Subwoofer  
1/3 wall  
length  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds  
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)  
channel. The volume and quality of the  
bass output from your subwoofer will  
depend on its position, the shape of your  
listening room, and your listening posi-  
tion. In general, a good bass sound can  
be obtained by installing the subwoofer in  
a front corner, or at one-third the width of  
the wall, as shown.  
Surround left and right speakers  
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and  
to add realistic ambience.  
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,  
about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they  
should be equidistant from the listener.  
Tip:To find the best position for your sub-  
woofer, while playing a movie or some  
music with good bass, experiment by  
placing your subwoofer at various posi-  
tions within the room, and choose the one  
that provides the most satisfying results.

AV Connection Color Coding  
About AV Connections  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-  
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).  
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and  
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals  
supplied with your other AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
and double-checked all AV connections.  
Optical Digital Jacks  
The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type  
covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and  
close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

bass.  
To get the best from your surround sound system, you  
need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied  
setup microphone (see page 38).  
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are  
color-coded for ease of identification (the negative (–)  
speaker terminals are all black).

speakers output the same sound in two directions.  
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to  
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left  
and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their  
arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround  
back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so  
that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
• North American models: Only connect speakers  
with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use  
speakers with a lower impedance, and use the ampli-  
fier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the  
built-in protection circuit may be activated.  
• Other models: You can connect speakers with an  
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the imped-  
ance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or  
more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum  
speaker impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 47). If you  
use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the  
amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of  
time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.  
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)  
of insulation from the  
ends of the speaker  
cables, and twist the bare  
wires tightly, as shown.  
5/8" (15 mm)  
1
Unscrew the terminal.  
2
Fully insert the bare  
wires.  
3
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive  
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega-  
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way  
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound  
unnatural.  
Screw the terminal tight.  
4
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may  
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.  
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two  
surround speakers to the SURROUND SPEAKERS  
terminals. Do not connect them to the SURROUND  
BACK SPEAKERS terminals.  
The following illustration shows which speaker should  
be connected to each pair of terminals.  
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect  
it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS termi-  
nals.  
• Be careful not to short the  
positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the  
wire does not have contact with  
the AV receiver’s rear panel.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.  
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.  
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in  
an attic or loft.  
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside  
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained  
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note  
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-  
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-  
ards.  
I Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-  
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as  
shown.

can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the AV receiver.

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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.  
Video Connection Formats  
Audio Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by  
using any one of the following video connection for-  
mats: composite video, S-Video, or component video,  
the latter offering the best picture quality.  
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be  
converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to  
composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT  
jacks, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S  
jacks.  
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by  
using any of the following audio connection formats:  
analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that  
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between them. For  
example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE  
OUT.  
DVD player,  
etc.  
Notes:  
• The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite  
video and S-Video input signals and output them from  
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 46).  
• For details on the HDMI jacks, see page 32.  
• Depending on the settings made on the AV receiver,  
the “composite video to S-Video” and “S-Video to  
composite video” conversions may not work (see  
page 46).

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV  
receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See  
the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.  
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If your  
TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recordingVCR must be connected to a composite video output.  
Similarly, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV/VCR is

Connecting Components with HDMI  
About HDMI  
Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface  
standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several  
separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry  
control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and  
multichannel PCM).  
*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 can  
display the picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:  
High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.1  
Supported Audio Formats  
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)  
Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.  
About Copyright Protection  
*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.  
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s  
HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*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.

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 in the HDMI Video setup (see page 45).

Connecting the Power Cord  
• Connect the AV receiver’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.  
Notes:  
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.  
• Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment  
on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.  
Turning On and Standby  
Press the [STANDBY/ON] button.  
Alternatively, press the remote controller’s [RECEIVER] button, followed

Smooth Operation in a Few Easy Steps  
To ensure smooth operation, here’s a few easy steps to help you configure the AV receiver before you use it for the  
very first time. These settings only need to be made once.  
I Do the automatic speaker setup—this is essential!  
See “Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey2EQ)” on page 38.  
I Have you connected a component to an HDMI input,  
HDMI  
component video input, or digital audio input?  
If you have, see “HDMI Video Setup” on page 45, “Component  
Video Setup” on page 46, or “Digital Input” on page 44 respectively.  
I Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder,  
OUT  
IN  
or next generation HDD-compatible component?  
If you have, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 47.

First Time Setup  
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.  
Automatic Speaker Setup  
(Audyssey2EQ)  
1
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the  
Audyssey2EQ function can measure the number of  
speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies,  
and the distance from each speaker to the listening posi-  
tion and calculate the optimal speaker settings for your  
listening environment automatically.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.

Measurement Points  
To create a listening area in which several people can  
enjoy home theater simultaneously, the Audyssey2EQ  
function takes measurements at three points within the  
listening area:

Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it outputs  
very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low,  
it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. If  
the subwoofer (SW) appears on the SP Detect Result  
screen as “No,” increase the subwoofer’s volume, set it  
to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running  
the automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the vol-  
ume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be  
detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the sub-  
woofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or  
Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for  
details.

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 dig-  
ital 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.  
The illustration shows which speakers are active in  
each listening mode with 7.1 channel speaker sys-  
tem.  
Dolby Digital EX  
DTS+Dolby EX  
Front left  
Center  
Front right  
These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby  
Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-chan-  
nel playback. They’re 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. Use them with DVDs  
that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.  
Subwoofer

Pure Audio (not North American models)  
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned  
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in  
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is  
turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN  
can be output.)  
Dolby Digital+PLIIx Music  
DTS+PLIIx Music  
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music  
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digi-  
tal and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel  
playback. Use them with Dolby Digital or  
DTS 5.1 music sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital  
TV broadcasts).  
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 Digital+PLIIx Movie  
DTS+PLIIx Movie  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie  
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digi-  
tal and DTS sources for 7.1-channel play-  
back. Use them with Dolby Digital and  
DTS 5.1 movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broad-  
casts).  
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.  
DTS  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports  
up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com-  
pression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it  
with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
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.  
DTS-ES Discrete  
•
PLIIx Movie  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete

soundtracks, which use a discrete surround  
back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The  
seven totally separate audio channels provide better spa-  
tial 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 Discrete soundtrack.  
•
PLIIx Music  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
•
PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those  
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
DTS-ES Matrix  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix  
soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded  
back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with  
a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.  
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.  
DTS Neo:6  
Orchestra  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 6.1-chan-  
nel playback. It uses six full-bandwidth channels of  
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing  
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience  
that fully envelops the listener.  
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.  
•
Neo:6 Cinema  
Unplugged  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD,  
VHS).  
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.  
•
Neo:6 Music  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
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.  
Dolby Digital + Neo:6  
DTS+Neo:6  
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-chan-  
nel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS  
logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.  
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  
Neural Surround  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
(North American models only)  
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in  
surround technology developed for music and is adopted  
by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of sur-  
round recordings and live events in surround sound.  
Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-  
domain processing, which allows delivery of a more  
detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation  
and localization of audio elements. System playback is  
scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround play-  
back.  
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)  
or  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround  
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works  
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and  
right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Recording  
This section explains how to record the selected input  
source to a component with recording capability, and  
how to record audio and video from different sources.  
Recording Separate AV Sources  
Here you can record audio and video from completely  
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto  
your video recordings. This function takes advantage of  
the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e.,  
TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input  
source remains unchanged.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.  
• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel  
input.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con-  
nected to theVIDEO 4 INPUTVIDEO jack are recorded  
by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.  
• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer  
to the manuals supplied with your digital recording  
equipment for more details.  
Camcorder  
• Digital signals received at COAXIAL IN/OPTICAL  
IN or HDMI IN 1/2 are only output by OPTICAL  
OUT. However, certain types of digital signal such as  
DVD-Audio signal input from HDMI IN will not be  
output. Analog input signals are output by only the  
analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from  
digital to analog or vice versa.  
video signal  
audio signal  
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t  
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.  
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no  
image is provided because the power is turned off for  
the video circuit. If you want to make recordings,  
select other listening mode.  
AV Recording  
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-  
sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or  
DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be  
recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder)  
connected to the to VIDEO 1 OUT or VIDEO 2 OUT  
jacks. See pages 23 to 36 for hookup information.

Using the Late Night Function  
(Dolby Digital only)  
Adjusting Individual Speaker Levels  
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.  
You can adjust the level of individual speakers during  
playback. These adjustments are temporary and will be  
cancelled when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.  
Neo:6 Music Mode Setting  
I Center Image  
Input Channel Settings  
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 (default  
is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers  
are connected.  
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the  
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when  
the listening position is considerably off center. When  
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-  
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.  
I Multiplex  
This setting determines which channel is output from a  
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels  
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV  
broadcasts, and so on.  
Main: The main channel is output (default).  
Sub: The sub channel is output.  
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.  
I Mono Input Ch  
This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing  
any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-  
channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening  
mode.  
Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting  
L+R: Both the left and right channels are output  
(default).  
Left: Only the left channel is output.  
Right: Only the right channel is output.  
I Dolby EX  
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals  
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround  
back speakers are connected.  
PL IIx Music Mode Settings  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital  
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode  
is used (default).  
These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital  
source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM  
source in the PLIIx Music listening mode.  
Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro  
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digi-  
tal EX, or Dolby Digital+Neo:6.  
I Panorama  
With this function, you can broaden the width of the  
front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or  
Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.  
On: Panorama function on.  
T-D Listening Setting  
I Listening Angle  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front  
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.  
Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode  
is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right  
speakers should be equidistant from the listening posi-  
tion and at an angle close to one of the two available set-  
tings.  
I Dimension  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward  
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from  
–3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound  
field forward. Higher settings move it backward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much  
surround sound, move the sound field forward to  
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image  
feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround  
sound, move it backward.  
Front left speaker  
Front right speaker  
20/40˚  
I Center Width  
With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound  
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II  
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally  
if you are using a center speaker, the center channel  
sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are not  
using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be  
distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a  
phantom center.) This 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 (default is 3).  
Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.  
Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees  
(default).

Assigning Listening Modes to Input  
Sources  
The Last Valid option means that the  
listening mode selected last will be  
used.  
You can assign a default listening mode to each input  
source that will be selected automatically when you  
select each input source. For example, you can set the  
default listening mode to be used with Dolby Digital  
input signals. You can select other listening modes dur-  
ing playback, but the mode specified here will be  
resumed once the AV receiver has been set to Standby.  
b. Ana/PCM: With this setting, you  
can specify the listening mode to be  
used when an analog (CD, TV, LD,  
VHS, MD, turntable, radio, cassette,  
cable, satellite, etc.) or PCM digital  
(CD, DVD, etc.) audio signal is played.  
c. Dolby D: With this setting, you can

when a Dolby Digital format digital  
audio signal is played (DVD, etc.).

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue  
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 51).  
• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an  
HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,  
and be sure to select a supported audio format.  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those  
that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting  
the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo  
dealer.  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults,  
turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1]  
button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear”  
will appear on the display and the AV receiver will  
enter Standby mode.  
VIDEO 1  
STANDBY/ON  
• If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in phono  
preamp, you must connect one between it and the AV  
receiver. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you  
must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer  
and phono equalizer.  
CR 1  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,  
twisted, or damaged.  
• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 63).  
• Specify the speaker distances (page 69) and adjust the  
individual speaker levels (page 70).  
• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not  
still connected.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged  
into the wall outlet.  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five  
seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to  
Auto (page 77).  
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned  
on  
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro Logic IIx  
Music, or Pro Logic IIx Game listening mode with a  
mono source, such as anAM radio station or mono TV  
program, the sound is concentrated in the center  
speaker.  
Audio  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet  
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly (page 44). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but-  
ton repeatedly.  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 18).  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the surround speakers produce no sound (page 63).  
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-  
nents are connected properly (page 18).  
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the  
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 20).  
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected  
(page 49).  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99,  
or MAX (page 49). The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.  
The center speaker produces no sound  
• When the Mono or Stereo listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound (page 63).  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the AV receiver (page 51).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The surround back speakers produce no sound  
• The surround back speakers are not used with all listen-  
ing modes. Select another listening mode (page 63).  
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround  
back speakers with some sources.  
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t  
work  
• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec-  
tions (page 26).  
• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press  
the [MULTI CH] input selector button.  
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
About DTS signals  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• When you play source material that contains no infor-  
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces  
no sound.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch  
your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV  
receiver does not switch formats immediately, you  
may not hear any sound, in which case you should  
stop your player for about three seconds, and then  
resume playback.  
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to  
playback DTS material properly even though your  
player is connected to a digital input on the AV  
receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream  
has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,  
or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver  
doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such  
cases, you may hear noise.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those  
that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes  
cannot be selected (page 62).  
Can’t select the DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix listen-  
ing modes  
• These modes cannot be selected when no surround  
back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers  
are being used.  
• You can not always select all of the listening modes,  
depending on the number of the speaker connected  
(page 62).  
• 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.  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an  
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-  
nals, audio output may not start immediately.  
• If no surround back speakers are connected, or the  
Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is  
not possible.  
• You can not always select all of the listening modes,  
depending on the number of the speakers connected  
(page 62).  
Video  
The volume cannot be set to 99  
• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated  
(page 70), the maximum volume setting may change.  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 18).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected.  
• If your video component is connected to a component  
video input, your TV must be connected to the com-  
ponent video output (page 23) (TX-604/604E/8460  
only).  
Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the  
audio performance, so don’t do it.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital  
(page 66).  
• If a video component is connected to an HDMI input,  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.  
• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North  
American models) is selected, the video circuitry is  
turned off and only video signals input through HDMI  
IN can be output.

• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening  
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,  
Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio (not North American  
models).  
• Video Attenuation  
This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1,  
VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, or VIDEO 4 input.  
If you have a games console connected to the com-  
ponent video, S-Video, or composite video input,  
and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the  
gain.  
The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
• When the Automatic Speaker Setup function is used,  
or the volume is adjusted on the onscreen setup  
menus, the maximum possible volume setting may  
change.  
Video ATT:0: (default).  
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
The speaker distance cannot be set as required  
• In some cases, corrected values suitable for home the-  
ater use may be set automatically.  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-  
cessing and control functions. In very rare situations,  
severe interference, noise from an external source, or  
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely  
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it  
back in again.  
The display doesn’t work  
• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not  
North American models) listening mode is selected.  
How do I change the language of a multiplex  
source

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-  
rectly.  
The  
functions don’t work  
• To use  
, you must make an  
connection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-  
nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi-  
tally (page 36).  
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup  
system in order to retain radio presets and other set-  
tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-  
ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver  
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the  
backup system.  
The functions Auto Power On/Standby and  
Direct Change don’t work for components con-  
nected via  
• These functions don’t work when Zone 2 is turned on.  
When performing “Automatic Speaker Setup,”  
the measurement fails showing the message  
“Ambient noise is too high.”  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-  
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.  
• This can be caused by any malfunction in your  
speaker unit. Check if the unit produces normal  
sounds.
