Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight 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 controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller, such as a book or magazine, because a button may be pressed continuously, 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 control 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.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
Enjoying Home Theater
Speaker Sets A and B
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.
Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.
* While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
Speaker set B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

Speaker Set A: Main Room
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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.
* While speaker set B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.
Corner
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the
LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
Speaker Set B: Sub Room
1/3 wall length
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 equally spaced from the listener.
* While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this
automatically (see page 33) or manually (see page 54).
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered subwoofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT:
SUBWOOFER to the amp’s input.
Powered subwoofer
The supplied speaker labels are color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
For North American model
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
6 ohms or higher. 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.
• 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. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Connecting Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
AM ANTENNA push terminals
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 17).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.
FM ANTENNA jack
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
■ North American Model
2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.)
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
■ Other Models
Release
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible 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 hazards.
■ 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 circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

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.
Caution:
To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel 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.

Connecting Components with HDMI
About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD/BD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, or multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
*1
, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will display a picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
Pass-Thru
About Copyright Protection
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
*2
, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT 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): Led 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
If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable.
Step 1: Connect your HDMI-compatible TV to the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack.
Step 2: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to the AV receiver’s HDMI IN 1, 2, or 3 jack.
Step 3: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to an analog and/or digital audio input on the AV receiver.
■ Audio Signals
• Audio and video signals received via inputs other than the HDMI IN jacks are not output by the HDMI OUT.
• Audio and video signals received via the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT.
• To watch an HDMI source that’s connected via the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks, the AV receiver must be turned on, otherwise no HDMI signal will be output.
• If you want to listen through the speakers connected to the AV receiver, in addition to an HDMI connection, you’ll also need to make a separate analog or digital audio connection.

Connect one or the other
Notes:
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver).
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, wellbalanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any
Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.
If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “On”,
Audyssey Dynamic Volume

becomes available.
About Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic
EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously,
Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area. a First measurement point
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
b Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
c Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic
Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey
Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Using Audyssey 2EQ™
Notes:
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the Audyssey 2EQ Room
Correction and Speaker Setup starts.
• Room correction and speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.
• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the room correction and speaker setup for three positions.
Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during room correction and speaker setup.
ON/STANDBY
Speaker setup microphone
SETUP MIC
Notes:
• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and
Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.
• When starting the room correction and speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.
• Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce innacurate results.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.
• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

❏ Ambient noise is too high
Changing the Speaker Settings Manually
If you wish to make changes to the settings found during the room correction and speaker setup, follow the
Using a Powered Subwoofer
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down, it may not be detected by the Audyssey 2EQ
Room Correction and Speaker Setup. In this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, select its highest crossover frequency, and then try running the
Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a lowpass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
This message appears if there’s too much background noise and the measurements cannot be performed properly. Remove the source of the noise and try again.

■ What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. RDS is approved by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is available in North America.
Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed.
Pressing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 47).
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type
(see page 47).
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 47).
Notes:
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received.
This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

Recording
This section explains how to record the input source and how to record audio and video from separate sources.
Notes:
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
Recording the Input Source
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE
OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR
OUT jacks. See pages 18 to 31 for hookup information.
1 Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.
You can watch the source while recording it. The AV receiver’s
MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.

3
On your recorder, start recording.
On the source component, start playback.
Note:
If you select a different input source during recording, that input source will be recorded instead.
Recording from Different AV Sources
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two separate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TV/TAPE or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Using the Listening Modes —Continued
About the Listening Modes
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.
Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing highfidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
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.
Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the
Dolby Surround logo or TV shows that feature
Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV shows and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.
• Dolby Pro Logic II Music
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.
• Dolby Pro Logic II Game
Use this mode when playing game discs.
Dolby Digital
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
DTS
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for highfidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.
DTS 96/24
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS Surround Sensation
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two speakers.
DTS Neo:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 5.1channel playback. It uses five full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener.
• Neo:6 Cinema
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV,
DVD, VHS).
• Neo:6 Music
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.
Game-RPG
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.
Game-Action
Use this mode when playing action game discs.
Game-Rock
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.
Game-Sports
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front and surround speakers.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy 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.

Audio Adjust Settings
With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.
7. Audio Adjust
Multiplex/Mono Settings
Input (Mux) Main: The main channel is output (default).
Sub: The sub channel is output.
M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
Input (Mono) L+R: Both the left and right channels are output (default).
L: Only the left channel is output.
R: Only the right channel is output.
This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.
PLII/Neo:6 Settings
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
Panorama On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.
Dimension –3 to +3 (default: 0)
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.
Center Width 0 to 7 (default: 3)
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
II Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
Center Image 0 to 5 (default: 2)
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.
Setting a value [0] in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
57
58
Audyssey Settings
After room correction and speaker setup is completed, Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ becomes “On” by default.
Dynamic EQ Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on (default).
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level--not just at reference level.
Notes:
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ allows you to maintain the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level in accordance with the speakers.
• In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey 2EQ™ is automatically deactivated during a recording.
After the recording is finished, Audyssey 2EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ will resume as previously set.
• “Dynamic EQ” and “Dyn Vol” become available (see page 58).
Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active (see page 33).
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active (see page 33).
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.
Notes:
• Other than “Off”, “Dynamic EQ” becomes “On”, and “6. Equalizer” (see page 56) setting becomes
“Audyssey”.
• “Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if
“Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting
LstnAngl (Listening Angle)
Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).
Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater- Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

By pressing the REMOTE MODE button that’s been programmed with the remote control code for your RI
Dock, you can control your iPod in the RI Dock with the following buttons.
The [DOCK] button is preprogrammed with the remote control code for controlling an RI Dock when used with an u connection.
For some RI docks, the “ON/STANDBY” button may not work with a remote control code 82990 (without u).
In this case, make an u connection and enter a remote control code 81993 (with u).
For details on entering a remote control code, see
When Using an RI Dock:
• Connect the RI Dock to the TV/TAPE IN, CBL/SAT
IN or VCR/DVR IN L/R jacks.
• Set the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch to “HDD” or
“HDD/DOCK”.
• Set the AV receiver’s Input Display to “DOCK” (see

Notes:
• This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or
DS-A2X RI Dock on or off.
• Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this button, in which case you should press it again. This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will remain on when the remote controller transmits an On command. Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it back in again.
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 immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.
Audio
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet
• Press the SPEAKERS [A] or [B] button to turn on the indicator for the speakers that you want to output sound.
• HDMI audio is passed through the AV receiver and can only be heard from your TV.
• To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, make sure that input is
assigned to an input selector (page 36).
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 14).
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume (page 38). The AV receiver is
designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to
unmute the AV receiver (page 39).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the main room
• Check the digital audio output settings on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button on your DVD player’s remote controller.
• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp builtin, 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 a phono preamp.
• Check the speaker settings (pages 54–56).
• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it
Only the front speakers produce sound
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 54).
Only the center speaker produces sound
• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Dolby Pro
Logic II Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 54).
The center speaker produces no sound
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,
the center speaker produces no sound (page 53).
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 54).
The surround speakers produce no sound
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.
• Depending on the source and the current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try another listening mode
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 54).
The subwoofer produces no sound
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.
• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 54).
• On the AV receiver, the subwoofer setting in the “3. Sp
Config” is set to “No”. Set the subwoofer setting to
“Yes”.
There’s no sound with a certain signal format
• Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button on your DVD player’s remote controller.
Can’t get 5.1-channel playback
• When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
The volume cannot be set to 79
• After the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and
Speaker Setup function has been run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted
(pages 33 and 56), the maximum volume may be
reduced.
• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted
(page 56), the maximum possible volume may be
reduced.
Noise can be heard
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio performance, so don’t use them.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work
• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 60).
About DTS signals
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on.
This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, as the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear anything, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback
DTS material properly even though your player is 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.
Video
There’s no picture
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to
the component video output (page 19).
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT
There’s no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not support the current video resolution and you need to select another resolution on your DVD/BD player.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t light up
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 43).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries, or old and new batteries (page 12).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver and there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s
remote control sensor (page 12).

• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights.
Relocate if necessary.
• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote
controller mode (pages 11 and 64–66).
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver
and remote controller (page 59).

• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the u cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.
Connecting only an
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode.
• If you’ve connected an u-capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the TV/TAPE
IN/OUT jacks, or an RI Dock to the CBL/SAT IN or
VCR/DVR IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to “MD”,
“CDR”, or “DOCK”, respectively (page 37).
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via u, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first
Recording
Can’t record
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TV/TAPE IN to TV/TAPE
OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).
Others
The sound changes when I connect my headphones
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,
Mono or Direct in which case it stays the same.
How do I change the language of a multiplex source
• On the “7. Audio Adjust” menu, change the “Input
(Mux)” setting to “Main” or “Sub” (page 57).
The u functions don’t work
• To use u, you must make an u connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV receiver, even if they are
connected digitally (page 31).
When performing “Audyssey 2EQ™ Room
Correction and Speaker Setup”, the measurement fails showing the message
“Ambient noise is too high”.
• This can be caused by any malfunction in your speaker unit. Check if the unit produces normal sounds.
The following settings can be made for the composite video inputs
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings.
1. While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.
2. Use the Left and Right [ e]/[r] buttons to change the setting.
3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.
• Video Attenuation
This setting can be made for the DVD/BD,
VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.
If you have a games console connected to the composite video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.
Video ATT:0: (default).
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing 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 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
