Installing the Batteries

1 To open the battery compartment, press the small lug and remove the cover.

2 Insert the three supplied batteries

(AA/R6) in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

Using the Keyboard

The wireless keyboard uses radio signals (RF) to communicate with the NVS-7.7 so you don’t have to aim it at the NVS-7.7 when you use it.

Notes:

• The operating range for the wireless keyboard is up to approximately 20 feet (7 m), although, this will depend on the environment in which it’s used. If the keyboard doesn’t work reliably, try moving it closer to the NVS-7.7, or press the Transmit [ ] button.

• Even within the operating range there may be some areas (dead spots) where the keyboard doesn’t work reliably. This is a characteristic of RF signals and is not a malfunction. If this occurs, move the keyboard.

• Don’t put anything on top of the keyboard, such as a book or magazine, because a button may be pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.

3 Replace the cover.

Notes:

• If the keyboard 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 keyboard 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.

This section explains how to connect your AV receiver or audio system to the NVS-7.7.

Choose one of the following options:

Option 1 : Digital audio connection (5.1-channel)

Option 2 : 7.1/5.1-channel analog audio connection

Option 3 : VLSC 2-channel analog audio connection

Use option #1 when you want to enjoy the Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes.

Use option #2 when you want to make an analog multichannel connection to your AV receiver or when you want to enjoy DVD-Audio.

Option #3 uses the built-in Onkyo VLSC Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry. Use it when you want to listen to 2-channel analog audio with the very best sound quality or listen through your TV.

Notes:

• Option #1 does not support 7.1-channel playback.

• Option #3 does not support SigmaTel Audio functions such as Dolby Virtual Speaker and

Dolby Headphone.

Option 1: Digital Audio Connection (5.1-channel)

This is the simplest way to connect your audio system for 5.1-channel playback. Connect an optical or coaxial digital audio cable from the NVS-7.7’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT to an optical or coaxial digital audio input on your AV receiver.

Notes:

• With this connection, the volume level is controlled on the AV receiver.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS, you must change a setting (see page 38).

The picture distorts occasionally

• Remove the disc and try cleaning it (page 9).

• When fast forwarding or rewinding, the picture may distort slightly.

• Running multiple programs simultaneously may cause screen redraw problems. This is not a malfunction of the NVS-7.7.

Picture instability or noise

• If the NVS-7.7 is connected to your TV via a

VCR or other video component, a copy-protection system may affect the picture quality, so connect it directly to your TV.

• Depending on your TV or monitor, during playback, the color saturation (color level) may be slightly weak, or the color tint may change. In addition, some discs may contain high resolution video that may cause picture noise. In this case, adjust your TV or monitor to achieve the best picture.

There’s no picture

• On your TV, select the input to which the

NVS-7.7 is connected.

• Always turn on your TV or monitor before turning on the NVS-7.7.

• The NVS-7.7 cannot output video from the component video, S-Video, and composite video jacks simultaneously. Connect your TV or monitor to only one of the video outputs.

• When playback is paused or stopped and the same picture is displayed for a long time, the

Windows

screen saver will activate. Press the

Play [ ] button to cancel the screen saver.

• If you’re using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable to connect the NVS-7.7, connect it directly to your TV. Don’t connect the NVS-7.7 via another component, as the picture may not display correctly.

The picture is not clear when using the

S-Video or composite video connection

• With an S-Video or composite video connection, the picture will not be as clear as it is when using the DVI or component video connection. If your TV has a large screen, we recommend you use the DVI or component video connection.

The picture color is distorted

• Try moving your speakers away from your TV.

Troubleshooting —Continued

There’s no picture from the component video output when playing a DVD

• When using the component video output, right-click on the Windows

desktop, and click Graphics Properties to open the Display control panel. Click the Display Settings tab, and set the video standard to

HDTV_480p59 or HDTV_480i59 . If

HDTV_720p59 or HDTV_1080i59 is selected, there will be no picture when playing a DVD. If you select HDTV_720p50 or a setting that ends with something other than 59 , you may lose the picture completely, so be careful.

• Check the disc’s region number. The NVS-7.7 can play discs that bear the Region 1 or ALL logo.

DVD-Audio Playback

Can’t play a DVD-Audio disc

• DVD-Audio discs can only be played by the

PowerDVD program. Start PowerDVD before loading the DVD-Audio disc (see page 30 of the Media Center Instruction Manual ).

• Before playing a DVD-Audio disc for the very first time, you must enter the CyberLink PowerDVD CD key and obtain a CPPM key code

(page 37).

Disc Playback

Can’t start playback

• Use only supported discs (page 7).

• The types of discs that can be played in the

NVS-7.7 is dependent on the playback software (i.e., Media Center and PowerDVD). For example, DVD-Audio and Video CD discs can only be played by PowerDVD.

• The NVS-7.7 supports NTSC. If you attempt to play a PAL disc, the picture will not display correctly.

Playback doesn’t start immediately

• It takes time to read a DVD or CD that contains lot of tracks. This is normal.

Audio playback skips, jumps, or is noisy

• If the NVS-7.7 is subjected to vibration, or the disc is scratched or dirty, audio playback may skip.

A disc is loaded but doesn’t play

• Make sure the disc is loaded the right way up.

• Make sure the disc isn’t scratched or damaged.

• If you think there may be condensation on the disc, leave the NVS-7.7 turned on for about 1 hour before using it.

DVD Playback

Can’t play a DVD

• Before playing a DVD for the very first time, you must enter the CyberLink PowerDVD CD key and obtain a CPPM key code (page 37).

Copy-controlled CDs

Playback is noisy or skips, the first track doesn’t play, it takes longer than normal to locate the beginning of tracks, playback starts in the middle of a track, some sections of a track cannot be played, playback stops half way through a track, or the information shown on the display is incorrect

• Copy-controlled CDs are special discs that don’t conform to the audio CD standard and, therefore, may not work properly in the

NVS-7.7.

CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW Playback

Can’t play a disc

• Make sure the disc has been finalized.

TV Reception

On the NVS-7.7, you can’t watch both TV received via antenna (CATV, TV (NTSC), TV

(ATSC)) and TV received via a cable or satellite set-top box. The very first time you start Media

Center, you must chose one or the other as the

TV Signal Source in the Media Center Setup

Wizard.

TV reception is noisy

• Check your TV antenna connections (page 26).

• Check the TV Input settings in Media Center

(see page 27 of the Media Center Instruction

Manual ).

NVS-7.7 Hard.book Page 53 Monday, April 17, 2006 9:56 AM

Troubleshooting —Continued

Can’t record

• There’s not enough free space on the hard disk.

• Check the Record Settings in Media Center

(see page 25 of the Media Center Instruction

Manual ).

• Check the TV Input settings in Media Center

(see page 27 of the Media Center Instruction

Manual ).

FM Radio

FM radio reception is noisy

• Check your FM antenna connections (page 27).

• Relocate your FM antenna.

• Passing cars and airplanes may cause interference.

• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor FM antenna.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

• Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 22).

• Try replacing all of the batteries with new ones. (Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.)

• Make sure the remote controller is not too far away from the NVS-7.7, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the NVS-7.7’s remote control sensor (page 22).

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the NVS-7.7’s remote control sensor is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights.

• If the NVS-7.7 is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.

• The keyboard may not work reliably when used close to a wireless computer network, microwave oven, or other device that uses the

2.4 GHz frequency range. Try using the keyboard closer to the NVS-7.7.

• Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 19).

• Try replacing all of the batteries with new ones. (Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.)

• Make sure there’s no obstacle between the keyboard and NVS-7.7.

Memory Card Slots

Inserting a memory card

Insert the memory card with the labelside facing up.

Viewing the contents of a memory card

On the Windows

desktop, click the

Start button, and then click My Computer .

Double-click the Removable Disk (i.e., memory card) you inserted.

When you insert a memory card, four

Removable Disk icons, each assigned a drive letter, appear. One for MMC/SD cards (E:), one for CompactFlash I/II cards (F:), one for SmartMedia cards

(G:), and one for MS/MS Pro cards (H:).

Keyboard

The keyboard doesn’t work

• Simultaneously press the NVS-7.7’s Keyboard Reset button and the keyboard’s Transmit button. Resetting the keyboard helps to protect against interference from other wireless keyboards used in the same environment.

Note:

The actual drive letters assigned to the Removable Disks (e.g., E, F, G, and H) depends on which drive letters are already in use when the card is inserted.

Troubleshooting —Continued

Removing a memory card

On the Windows

desktop, click the

Start button, and then click My Computer .

Right-click the Removable Disk (i.e., memory card), and then click Eject .

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

The NVS-7.7 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 five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

After confirming that the information under Details has changed as shown in the screen shots below, remove the memory card.
