Precautions  
1. Recording Copyright  
For U.S. models  
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is  
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.  
2. AC Fuse  
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power  
does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.  
3. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the  
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a  
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and  
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean  
cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other  
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or  
remove the panel lettering.  
Note to CATV system installer:  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s  
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines  
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable  
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,  
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Before using this unit  
Notes:  
Setting the voltage selector  
(Worldwide models only)  
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of  
batteries.  
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller  
will not be used for a long time.  
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion.  
If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, remove the old  
batteries and replace them both with two new AA batteries.  
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector so that you  
can set your TX-SR701/701E/601/601E to conform with local  
power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the  
power supply in your area before plugging in the unit.  
Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-230 V or 120 V. If  
the preset voltage is not correct for your area, insert a screwdriver  
into the groove in the switch and slide the switch all the way to the  
top (120 V) or bottom (220-230 V), whichever is appropriate.  
Using the remote controller  
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The  
STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from  
the remote controller.

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (TX-SR701/701E only)  
Connecting your audio components  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable  
to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E. Make sure that  
you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right  
channel to the R jack.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio  
components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram  
above for the following connection examples.  
Note:  
IN/OUT (analog audio)  
The TX-SR701/701E is designed for use with moving magnet  
cartridges. For proper operation, connect 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.  
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven  
audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio  
inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.  
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
On the rear panel of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, there are one  
coaxial digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital  
output (TX-SR701/701E only), and one digital output. To the  
digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or  
other digital source component. To the digital outputs, connect MD  
recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.  
3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or  
CD recorder (TAPE)  
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the  
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/  
601E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE  
OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Make sure that  
you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right  
channels to the R jacks.  
• 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.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN  
COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/  
701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the device.  
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E,  
nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).  
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the  
appropriate changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page  
52).  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact  
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E.  
Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack  
and the right channel to the R jack.  
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either  
the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E depending on the  
type of connector on the compact disc player.  
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL  
OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E for digital  
recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR701/  
701E/601/601E.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the  
CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack  
(COAX).  
Note:  
The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/  
601/601E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jack.  
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be  
changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 52).

• 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).  
Connecting your video components  
Below is an example of how you can connect your video  
components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram  
above for the following connection examples.  
Video signal will be output if you use any one of COMPONENT, S,  
or composit terminals. However, you are recommended to match the  
type of video terminals for connection between video devices (ex.  
DVD player and VCR), TX-SR701/701E/601/601E and TV/monitor.  
• The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.  
The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the  
VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in  
from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and  
VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S  
video connections.  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
Notes:  
For DVD players or other devices that have component video  
connectors, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E has two banks of  
component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct  
component video input. TX-SR701/701E/601/601E 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 detail.  
• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is  
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,  
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal  
from the source component is input through the component  
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input  
from the component video connectors can only be output from

Connecting speakers  
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them  
properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure.  
Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the  
speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware  
that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your  
speakers are both very important.  
Subwoofer  
When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality greatly depend  
on subwoofer placement. Those characteristics also depends on the  
shape of your listening room as well as your listening point. Generally  
speaking, good bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed  
in the corner of the room or at one-third the length of the room.

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now  
necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-SR701/  
701E/601/601E.  
NO!  
Caution:  
• 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.  
Connecting the speaker cable  
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-SR701/701E/601/  
601E.  
1. Strip away approx. 5/8 inch (15 mm)  
5/8"  
(15mm)  
of the wire insulation.  
• Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16  
Ω to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Connecting speakers  
with an impedance lower than 6 Ω may damage the  
amplifier.  
2. Twist the wire ends tightly together.  
3. Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.  
• 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.  
4. Insert the exposed wire end.

Connecting antennas  
To use the tuner of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, it is necessary to  
prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.  
Connecting the included antennas  
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for  
better reception must be done while listening to a station  
broadcast.  
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:  
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend  
the antenna and adjust its orientation until the clearest signal is  
received. Fix it with push pins or similar items in the position that  
will cause the least amount of distortion.  
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an  
outside antenna is recommended.  
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor  
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.  
Assembling the AM loop antenna  
Connecting the AM loop antenna:  
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction  
and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away  
as possible from the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, televisions,  
speaker cables, and power cords.  
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.  
• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details  
on how to connect the loop antenna.  
If the reception is not very clear with the attached AM indoor  
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Directional linkage  
Make sure to follow the general rules given below:  
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)  
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with  
each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna,  
use a directional linkage type splitter.  
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy  
roads, etc.).  
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it  
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.

7. Do the following when you use two surround back  
speakers. If you use one surround back speaker, go to  
step 8.  
• For the front L/R, center and subwoofer speakers, the speaker  
distance values you can set will be between the current  
maximum value(s) among all speakers and the values 10 feet (3  
meters) lower than the current maximum value(s). For example,  
if the current maximum value is 30 feet (9 meters), the speaker  
distance values you can set will be between 20 feet (6 meters)  
and 30 feet (9 meters).  
Use the  
and cursor buttons to select “Surround  
Back R” and then use the and cursor buttons to

speakers, if you enter any values higher than the current  
maximum value, the value you enter will be the new maximum  
value and any other speaker distance values you already set will  
automatically be adjusted to the values so that they keep the  
same value difference to the new maximum value as the one to  
the last maximum value.

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 below in parenthesis is what is actually displayed on  
the TX-SR701E/601E.  
What is RDS?  
None (NONE):  
No program type.  
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 additional information required. RDS  
provides you with various services so that you can choose a station  
that broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or other  
information.  
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, consumer affairs,  
medical help, etc.  
There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts. Though  
they can be tuned into by using the TUNING buttons 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 40). The three main  
classifications are explained below.  
Sport (SPORT):  
Live sports action, sports news, and interviews.  
Education (EDUCATE):  
Formal educational programs.  
RT: Radio Text  
When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is selected, the  
text information received from the station is displayed.  
Drama (DRAMA):  
Radio plays and serials.  
PTY: Program Type  
When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is selected, the  
station type (classification) is displayed.  
Culture (CULTURE):  
Cultural programs (including religious affairs).  
Science and technology (SCIENCE):  
Programs about the natural sciences and technology.  
TP: Traffic Program  
When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is selected,  
traffic information will be broadcasted periodically.  
Varied (VARIED):  
Speech-based programs not covered by the above categories (e.g.,  
quizzes, panel games, and comedy).  
Notes:  
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the display of the  
TX-SR701E/601E 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-SR701E/601E receives  
characters that cannot be displayed correctly. This is not a  
malfunction.  
Pop music (POP M):  
Popular commercial music, usually from past or present sales charts  
(e.g., Top 40).  
Rock music (ROCK M):  
Popular music with an alternative appeal, often not appearing on  
sales charts.  
• 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 Classical).  
Light classics (LIGHT M):  
Classical music for general rather than specialist appreciation.  
Serious classics (CLASSICS):  
Performances of major orchestral works, symphonies, chamber  
music, etc. (including the 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 broadcast,  
ALARM will flash on the display.

Notes on DTS:  
Selecting the type of audio input signal  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM”  
setting is selected on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, 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 “Auto” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks  
(OPT or COAX) to connect the DTS source.  
Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel (or AUDIO  
SEL button on the remote controller) to change the audio mode.  
Each time the button is pressed, the mode changes from “Auto” →  
“Multich” (only if DVD is selected as the input source) → “Analog”  
and back to “Auto.”  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “Auto” 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.  
TX-SR701/701E/601/601E  
Remote controller  
AUDIO  
SELECTOR  
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing  
a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a  
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS”  
selected.  
Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-SR701/  
701E/601/601E automatically detects whether the input signal is  
digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog  
signal is played. This setting only appears if a digital input is  
selected for the Digital Input setting at “Input Setup” → “Digital  
Input” (see page 52).  
• The DTS indicator on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E lights  
while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the  
DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E  
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.  
Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the multi-  
channel input from a DVD player with a 5.1-channel input port.  
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.  
• 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-SR701/701E/601/601E digitally. This is  
because the digital signal has been processed (such as the  
output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and  
the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E cannot recognize the signal as  
DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS  
source while processing the signal.  
Selecting the setting mode with the Cursor  
while “Auto” appears  
/
button  
Auto: The digital signal suitable for the input signal will be  
preceded for playback. When there is no digital signal input, analog  
signal will be played.  
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE  
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.  
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in “Auto” 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 “Auto” mode. Non-PCM sound input will not be  
output.  
• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with  
“PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select  
“Auto” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.  
Notes:  
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to select  
“Auto” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will be heard.  
• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the TX-  
SR701/701E/601/601E will not automatically switch to analog  
output even though “Auto” is selected with the AUDIO  
SELECTOR button.

Listening Modes  
The TX-SR701/701E/601/601E’s surround sound enables you to  
enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.  
The configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround  
sound. Refer to “Connecting speakers” on page 25.  
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)  
This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.  
Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maximum of 5.1-  
channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and  
LDs that have the  
channel output.

Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config,  
Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set  
(see pages 31 to 36). Once the parameters have been set, it is not  
necessary to set them again. See pages 48, 50 for information  
regarding how to select the listening mode.  
• Dolby Digital EX  
Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks that  
were encoded using the Surround EX technology.  
• Dialog norm  
Listening Modes  
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 Dialog 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. This data is automatically used by the Dolby  
Digital decoder to adjust the output volume of the source  
material without affecting the volume of your amplifier.  
Therefore, even if source material volume changes, you will  
not have to adjust the volume on your amplifier.  
Mono  
This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is recorded in  
monaural or for playing the left and right channels of movies  
separately that contain different language signals. This mode also  
allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and  
other media that have them.  
Direct  
This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality  
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.  
DTS Neo:6  
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 are a wide frequency range with a great separation  
between the different channels.  
Pure Audio (TX-SR701/701E only)  
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, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-  
fidelity music playback true to the original source.  
This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing  
movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.  
The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround  
sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel  
sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs  
with stereo sound.  
Stereo  
All input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.  
The subwoofer is also used for playback.  
The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural  
sound space that cannot be provided with normal 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 recommended  
that you have front left and right speakers, a center 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.  
DTS  
This mode is used for playing DTS source.  
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.  
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 position (sweet spot). Refer to  
the explanation of the listening 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-ES Discrete 6.1  
With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has  
all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete  
digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-  
fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated  
sound space is achieved.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left,  
center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix  
processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic  
II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio  
(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then  
played back in its original 5.1-channel form.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1  
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.  
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 frequency range, now provide  
complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is  
movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode  
uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that  
cannot be provided with normal stereo output.  
DTS 96/24  
Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources  
with surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24  
technology.  
This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the  
mark and certain television programs. The  
Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo  
sources.  
THX (TX-SR701/701E only)  
This mode is for playing back sources recorded in the THX format.  
For the utmost in fidelity when playing back THX sources, it is also  
recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

Listening Modes  
• THX Cinema  
All Ch Stereo  
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 designed for playing background music. The front,  
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that  
encompasses the entire area.  
• THX Surround EX  
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint  
development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of  
THX Ltd.  
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded  
with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology 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  
available 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 localization than ever before.  
When released to the home consumer market, movies that were  
created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may  
have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies  
created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web  
site at http://www.dolby.com.  
The TX-SR701/701E can play the 5.1-channel sources in THX  
surround EX mode, even if the 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.  
Mono Movie  
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as  
old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed  
original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-  
channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This  
allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie  
theater.  
Enhance  
With multi channel speakers, you will get more active surround  
effect. When using the surround back speaker, the sound effect  
moves naturally through the surround back speaker position. 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 mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are  
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of  
being in a club or rock concert.  
TV Logic  
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired  
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity  
of the conversation.

c. IntelliVolume  
This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between  
your various input source components.  
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level  
for different components or input sources connected to the TX-  
SR701/701E/601/601E is different even though the main volume  
setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then  
have to change the volume setting each time you change the input  
source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume  
level for each input source separately so that when you do switch  
from one input source to another, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E  
adjusts the volume accordingly and the volume stays the same. If  
the volume is quieter than that of other sources, increase it with the  
cursor button, and if it is louder than that of other sources,  
decrease it with the cursor button.  
The IntelliVolume can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels.

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 larger  
volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic  
range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear  
minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if  
you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

Audio Adjust  
Center Image  
Center Width is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and  
analog sources.  
LFE Level (TX-SR701/701E only)  
In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the  
center are subtracted from the left and right channels.  
In 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 preserving the original perspective of  
the stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted  
from the left and right channels.  
The level can be adjusted to either –∞ or between –10 and 0  
decibels in 1-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital and DTS input  
source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A setting of 0 decibels  
is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the source  
is recorded with the low frequency range too strong, lower this  
setting as necessary.  
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. 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.  
Academy Filter (TX-SR701/701E only)  
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 typically 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-SR701/701E/601/601E includes this “Academy filter,”  
which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films  
over wide-range systems.  
This control should be set based on room layout and personal  
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.  
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”  
Input Channel  
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS  
Neo:6 Music.  
This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.  
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When the  
input source is center channel, this center channel is used as the  
monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the left and right  
channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used as the  
monaural sound input channel.  
Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)  
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the  
surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall  
imaging.  
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when  
playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case,  
the left and right channels will contain the audio for different  
languages. Select the channel with the language you desire.  
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Panorama is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
Listening angle  
Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)  
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right  
speakers as seen from the listener. The processing for the virtual  
surround will be based on this angle. In the Theater-Dimensional  
mode, the setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal  
purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening  
angle.  
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield forward or  
backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the  
setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward setting to  
“4” or higher to move the sound space backward.  
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong  
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate  
sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt  
like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward  
to get more surroundness.  
Front left speaker  
Front right speaker  
Listening angle  
Dimension is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)  
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.  
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.)  
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. For home use, applying some width to the center  
signal will improve the level balance for the center and main  
speakers, and 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 setting 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 automatically set to “0.”  
On: Select to have the center channel signal output to the center  
speaker.  
Off: Select to have the center channel signal output to the front  
left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

Audio Adjust  
Front Expander  
In the Theater-Dimensional mode, 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  
narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.  
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a  
wider sound space.  
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal  
sound space.  
Virtual Surr Level  
In the Theater-Dimensional mode, this setting adjusts the level of  
the virtual surround signal. 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.  
Dialog Enhance  
If the dialog from the center channel is difficult to hear in the  
Theater-Dimensional mode, use this setting to improve the clarity.  
On: Select to enhance the vocal ranges of the center channel  
signal.  
Off: Select to output the center channel signal at the regular  
level and frequency characteristics.  
Front Effect (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,  
Enhance, Mono Movie)  
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you  
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,  
creating too much 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.  
Reverb Level (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,  
Enhance, Mono Movie)  
This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation  
to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,  
and such other factors.  
Select from the three settings “Low,” “Middle,” and “High.”  
Reverb Time (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,  
Enhance, Mono Movie)  
Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and  
the acoustics of the room. Select from the three settings “Short,”  
“Middle,” and “Long.”

The TX-SR701/701E/601/601E allows you to listen to one  
source while recording the signal from another source. The  
procedure below uses the example of recording the audio from a  
CD player while watching the input from a DVD player.  
• There are some restrictions on recording digital signals. When  
making digital recordings, consult the instruction manual that  
came with your digital recording equipment (e.g., MD recorder  
or DAT deck) to know what restrictions are imposed.  
1. While playing the DVD, press the  
REC OUT button.  
• You cannot record the source connected to the 5.1-channel input  
jacks.  
• If you change the input source during recording, you will record  
the signals from the newly selected input source.  
2. Within 5 seconds, press the input source button of  
the source that you wish to record.  
• Digital input signals are only output to the digital outputs and  
analog input signals are only output to 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 digital terminals, but the analog ones as well.  
In this example you would press the CD source button. The  
signal from the CD player is now output to the TAPE OUT  
jacks.

Recording the input source (REC OUT selector)  
When using the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E to record a source, you  
must select that source to be output from the TAPE OUT jacks.  
Recording the same source that you are listening to:  
1. Press the input source button for the source that you  
want to record.  
3. Start recording at the recording device connected to  
the TAPE OUT jacks.  
You can press the REC OUT button to display which input  
source is selected for recording. When “Rec Sel: Off” is  
displayed, no signal is output for recording.

To confirm the settings, press the REC OUT button. The current  
settings will appear for 5 seconds in the front display.  
To turn off the Rec Out, press the REC OUT button and then  
press the OFF button within five seconds.  
2. Press the REC OUT button repeatedly  
until “Rec Sel : SOURCE” appears in  
the front display.  
Notes:  
• You cannot use the REC OUT selector to record video signals.  
• Be aware that the ZONE 2 and REC OUT selectors use the  
same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time.  
• Even if you change the input source that you are listening to, the  
input source that is selected for recording will not change.  
However, if you have selected FM (or AM) as the source to be  
recorded and the AM (or FM) source button is pressed, the  
source being recorded will be changed to the AM (or FM) input  
signal.  
3. Start recording at the recording device connected to  
the TAPE OUT jacks.

(or listening to), the selected source will be recorded.  
Hint  
You can also record the video from one source and the audio from  
another source together to make your own home movies and the  
like. For example, if you want to record the video from a video  
camera connected to VIDEO 4 and the audio from a CD player  
connected to CD IN, at step 1 above, press the VIDEO 4 source  
button and then the CD source button.

Entering a pre-programming code  
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering  
Learning a pre-programming code  
the pre-programmed code for a remote controller of another  
manufacturer. Another is the normal learning function that enables  
the remote controller to learn the codes directly from other remote  
controllers (see page 71). And the last is a macro learning function  
that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote  
controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by  
pressing one button.  
By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the RC-533M/  
515M remote controller operate a component made by another  
manufacturer. The buttons that are used for operation are given on  
the next page.  
1. Find the 3-digit number listed for the manufacturer  
name of the component that you want to operate in  
the table on the next page.  
2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e.  
DVD, satellite tuner, or television).  
SEND/LEARN  
indicator  
3. While holding down the MODE button on the RC-  
533M/515M that you want to program, press the  
DISPLAY button, and then release both buttons.  
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is  
pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed.  
When the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/  
LEARN indicator lights again.  
Buttons that can  
be preprogrammed  
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.  
The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes twice. If the  
SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either  
a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation  
was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.  
VOL  
5. Press the button that you programmed and check if  
the system operates correctly.  
• If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3  
and repeat the steps above.  
• If it still does not operate properly, program the command  
directly from the other remote controller normally (see page  
71).  
Numeric keys  
When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players:  
There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number  
according to how you will be using the DVD player.  
DISPLAY  
No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Onkyo DVD player  
by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it  
does not have an  
it with an  
terminal, or it does but you are not connecting  
cable. First enter 601 and if it does not operate  
properly, enter 613.  
Caution  
With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work  
correctly. In this case, program the command directly from the other  
remote controller normally (see page 71).  
No. 600: This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have an  
terminal that you are connecting to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E  
with an  
cable. You will then operate the DVD player by  
pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the  
TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. You do not need to enter this code  
because it is factory preset. However, if the code has been changed  
to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it back to 600.

After programming which MODE button to use, you will then  
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller  
over to the RC-533M/515M remote controller one at a time. Each  
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-  
533M/515M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this  
step except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/  
MD, TV, VCR, and CABLE), the two MACRO buttons (1 and 2),  
and the LIGHT button (RC-533M only).  
2 to 6 inches  
(5 to 15 cm)  
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old  
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands  
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to  
memorize them once again.  
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller  
for the other device facing each other at a distance of  
2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.  
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE  
button on the remote controller, press the ENTER  
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.

Erasing the programmed command from one  
button  
the command you are programming) on the remote  
controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN  
lamp on the remote controller flashes twice.  
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.  
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again.  
1. Press and hold down the MODE button for the  
command, press the ENTER button, and then release  
both buttons.  
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands  
you desire from the other remote controller and  
program them to buttons on the remote controller  
under the same MODE.  
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN  
indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp  
turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.  
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different  
MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller).  
2. Press and release the button for the command you  
wish to erase.  
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to  
complete the programming.  
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns  
off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.  
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure  
the learning function was performed properly.  
3. Press and release the same button again.  
Notes:  
The SEND/LEARN lamp slowly flashes twice. The memorized  
command is erased.  
• 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.  
Note:  
If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and turns  
off, then the remote controller has exited the erasing mode because  
either you have made a mistake during erasing or a time-out has  
occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 1.  
• The remote controller has 357 memory slots (7 modes × 51  
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands  
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,  
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are  
more important than others.  
Erasing all the commands programmed under a  
MODE button  
• 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 has  
been pressed. Resume from Step 2.  
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button, press  
the ENTER button twice, and then release both  
buttons.  
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN  
indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp  
turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp slowly flashes  
twice and then lights again.  
• 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.  
2. Press and release the same MODE button again.  
• When you want to program a command to a button to which  
you have already programmed a command, simply follow the  
same procedure given and the previous programming for that  
button will be overwritten.  
When you release the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator  
slowly flashes twice. This erases all the commands memorized  
to the MODE button.  
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,  
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote  
controller codes can be memorized 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.  
Notes:  
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and  
turns off, then the remote controller has exited the erasing mode  
because either you have made a mistake during erasing or a  
time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed.  
Resume from Step 1.  
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs  
multiple functions (for example, the function 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.  
• 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.  
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote  
controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that  
product for instructions on how to operate that product.  
• 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 program the commands of the  
other remote controller properly into the remote controller.  
See page 72 for how to erase the memorized commands from all  
buttons.

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-SR701/701E/601/  
601E normally, 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  
one macro 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.  
1. Press and hold down any one of the seven MODE  
buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, and then  
release both buttons.  
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.  
4. Press the CD MODE button.  
5. Press the playback ( ) button.  
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  
indicator flashes briefly and then lights again.  
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five  
operations by only pressing one button.  
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in  
order (in this case, press RCVR MODE → ON → CD  
(INPUT SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback (  
button).  
)
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns  
off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

Notes:  
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the macro  
function. If you try to program a 17th operation, 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 has  
been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

Executing the macro  
Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that you have  
programmed into the remote controller. After programming the  
macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it  
has been programmed properly.  
Point the remote controller at the TX-SR701/701E/601/  
601E and press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button.  
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be sure to  
continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the  
SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.  
Tips:  
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed 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 transmitted 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.
