About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV controller’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and
Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
a b c de ij gh kl f
Corner position
1/3 of wall position
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.
a b Front speakers (Left and Right)
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV.
Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
c Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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 speakers.
d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)
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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.
f Subwoofer(s)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown.
g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to
100 cm) above ear level.
i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.

XT32 Room
Correction and Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 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 MultEQ XT32 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, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ ® , which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level
(
Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (

Recording Separate AV Sources
Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD, PHONO, etc.) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the TV/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.
Note
• The AV controller must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV controller, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/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.
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.
AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT or
TAPE OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack.

Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds
Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than Back Surround channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels,
Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels.

This mode employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural Surround modes can expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games. Neural Surround can also be used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surround-sound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo.

Description
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.
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.
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.
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.
In this mode, the sound has a dramatic feel with a similar atmosphere to
Orchestra mode.
In this mode, sound localization is distinct with emphasis on bass.
In this mode, sound pressure is emphasized to heighten live feel.
In this mode, reverberation is increased and sound localization decreased slightly.
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.
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.
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 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.

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™
Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX
Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX
Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

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.

10 dB below film reference.
`
15dB:
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that
–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey MultEQ ® XT32 will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the
0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference
(5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

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 userselected 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 MultEQ XT32 to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
About Audyssey Dynamic Volume
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.

NET/USB
About NET
The AV controller is network-ready, which means you can hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or media server. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can also enjoy Internet radio.
Network Requirements
■ Ethernet Network
For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so wired connections are recommended.
■ Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying
IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV controller needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the AV controller to your home network.
■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
Note
• To receive Internet radio with the AV controller, your broadband
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.
• The AV controller uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
• The AV controller does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoEcompatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the AV controller (
Connecting the AV Controller
To connect the AV controller to your home network, plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV controller’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
AV controller to your home network. In this example, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port
100Base-TX switch built-in.

Listening to Internet Radio
To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV con-
troller to a network with Internet access ( ➔ 65).
You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the
AV controller from your computer and selecting stations in your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.
Internet radio URLs in the following formats are supported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depending on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet radio station, you may not be able to listen to some stations.
Note
• If you’re using a narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem or ISDN), depending on the station, Internet radio may not work satisfactorily. For best results, use a broadband connection (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV controller is set use
DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e.,
DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP addresses, you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.
What’s DHCP?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV controller, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.
What’s DNS?
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case

Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller’s 12V
TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger input on a connected component.
When several components are turned on simultaneously by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of components, a large amount of current may be drawn momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals
A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger delay is eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component is turned on.
Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last component to be turned on will accomplish this.

—
■ About DTS signals
When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV controller 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, because the
AV controller does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
—
With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV controller. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV controller doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
—
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.
—
■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

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, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).
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 controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) *2 , so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.
The AV controller’s HDMI interface is based on the following:
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD
Master Audio)
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.
About Copyright Protection
The AV controller supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) *2 , a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV controller via HDMI must also support HDCP.
*1
*2
*3
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG *3 in 1999.
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.
DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance
PCs and digital displays.
Note
• 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.
• 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.
