Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
the dealer from whom you purchased this unit.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Setting the [Standby/On] switch to Standby does
not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to
use the unit for an extended period, remove the
power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by the dealer from
whom you purchased this unit.
6. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original
packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit
for a long time, because they may leave marks on
the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm
after prolonged use. This is normal.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so
be sure to use it occasionally.
Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV
receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,
although this depends on the environment and will be
shorter in humid climates.

Connecting Your Speakers
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog and digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes. You
can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
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 slightly
so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
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 (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
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 way along the wall, as shown.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add
realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–
3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.
Ideally they should be equally
spaced from the listener.
Surround back left and right speakers
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 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear
level.
THX recommends that they be placed as close as possible
in order to make advantage of their proprietary ASA
(Advanced Speaker Array) technology. If this condition is
not possible, adjust the SurrBack Sp Spacing setting via
the THX Audio Setup. (See page 70.)
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.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied
setup microphone (see page 38).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left
and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their
arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround
back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the
connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6,
be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to 4
ohms (see page 44). 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 amp 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. In other
words, 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.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
1
Strip about 5/8" (15
mm) of insulation from
the ends of the
speaker cables, and
twist the bare wires
tightly, as shown.
2
Unscrew the terminal.
3
Fully insert the bare
wires.
4
Screw the terminal tight.

(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.
Push
Insert wire
Release
■ Other Models
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.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 21).
20
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.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 21).

addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
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.
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.
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.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver by using any one of the following video
connection formats: composite video, S-Video,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the
best picture quality.
Composite video to S-Video and S-Video to composite video conversion only applies to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VIDEO 1 and
VIDEO 2 OUT V and S outputs.
For optimum video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component
video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 74).

Connecting Components with HDMI
About HDMI
Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface
standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several
separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry
control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and
multichannel PCM).
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 can
display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.1
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
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.
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s
HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.

Making HDMI Connections
Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV,
projector, and so on.
Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Video setup (see page 41).
■ Video Signal Flow Chart
Digital video signals received at
HDMI IN 1 and 2 are only output by
the HDMI OUT and sent to your TV.
By changing a setting on the AV
receiver, input signals from the composite video, S-Video, and component
video inputs can be output by the
HDMI OUT (see pages 41, 42).
■ Audio Signal Flow Chart
Digital audio signals received at
HDMI IN 1 or 2 are output by the
speakers and headphones connected
to the AV receiver. They can be output
by the HDMI OUT by setting the
HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see
page 74).

Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
PHONO IN L/R jacks to the audio output on your turntable.
Notes:
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum.
If this happens, disconnect it.
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head
amp or MC transformer. Connect your turntable to the
head amp or transformer, and connect that to the AV
receiver’s PHONO IN L/R jacks.
• You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turntable with an MC-type cartridge. See the phono equalizer’s manual for details.

Connecting the Power Cords of Other Components
The AV receiver has AC outlets on its rear panel that can be
used to connect the power cords of other components that you
intend to use with the AV receiver. These components can
then be left turned on so that they turn on and off as and when
the AV receiver is turned on and set to Standby.
Caution:
• Make sure that the total capacity of the components that
you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the
stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).
Note:
• Integra/Onkyo components connected via
should be
connected directly to a wall outlet, not an AC OUTLET on
the AV receiver.
• The number of AC OUTLETS, socket type, and total
capacity depends on the country in which you purchased
the AV receiver.

Warning Messages
In the warning messages, abbreviations are used to identify the speakers (e.g., “L” for left, “R” for right, and so
on).
Not Detect:
The speaker was not detected. Make sure that it’s
connected properly.
Distance Error:
The speaker is either too close or too far away, or
the distance could not be measured. Reposition the
speaker.
Changing the Speaker Settings Manually:
In some situations, the measurements taken by the automatic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If
running the speaker setup a second time still doesn’t provide usable results, you’ll have to set the speaker settings
yourself (see pages 66–71).
Please note that any THX main speakers should be set to
80 Hz (THX). If you set up your speakers using Automatic Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that
any THX speakers are set to 80 Hz (THX) in the Speaker
Configuration setting (see pages 66, 67).
Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level and the distance of the subwoofer
manually.
Using a Powered Subwoofer:
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it’s positioned low down on the floor and outputting very low
frequency sounds, its output may not be detected properly. If the subwoofer (abbreviation “SW”) appears on
the Warning screen under Not Detect, turn up the subwoofer’s volume and run the automatic speaker setup
again. If the subwoofer has a built-in crossover, set it to
the highest crossover frequency. If it has an LPF filter
switch, set it to off or direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s
instruction manual for details.

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 high-fidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are
output as they are.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers.
Mono
Dolby Digital+PLIIx Movie, DTS+PLIIx Movie
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
and DTS sources for 7.1-channel playback.
Use them with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1
movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broadcasts).
DTS
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports
up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it
with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke
DVDs.
DTS 96/24
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
DTS-ES Discrete
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener.
As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby
Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete
soundtracks that use a discrete surroundback channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The
seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect
for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it
with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those
with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
• PLIIx Movie
Use this mode with any stereo or TV, DVD, VHS.
• PLIIx Music
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,
TV, VHS, DVD).
• PLIIx Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.
Dolby Digital
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the
Dolby Digital logo and Dolby Digital TV
broadcasts. This is the most common digital surroundsound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the
action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
Dolby Digital EX, DTS+Dolby EX
These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby
Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel
playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby
Digital EX soundtracks that include a
matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional
channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating
and fly-by sound effects. Use them with DVDs that bear
the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.
Dolby Digital+PLIIx Music, DTS+PLIIx Music
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-
58
back. Use them with Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 music
sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts).
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24
sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a
96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing
superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS
96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Matrix
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix
soundtracks that use a matrix-encoded
back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.
DTS NEO:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 6.1-channel playback. It uses six full-bandwidth channels of
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience
that fully envelops the listener.
• 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).
DTS+Neo:6
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel
DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it
with DVDs that bear the DTS logo and feature a
5.1-channel soundtrack.
Using the Listening Modes—Continued
THX
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended.
Mono Movie
• THX Cinema
This mode is for watching movies, which are typically recorded and edited on the assumption that they
will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater.
It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the
smaller home-theater environment. It can be used
with 2-channel sources processed with other formats, and multichannel sources. Surround back
speaker output depends on the source material and
the selected listening mode.
• THX Select2 Cinema
This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1channel sources for 7.1-channel playback. It does
this by analyzing the composition of the surround
source, optimizing the ambient and directional
sounds to produce the surround back channel output.
This is a new and improved mode especially for
home theater use.
• THX Music Mode
This mode is designed for use with music. It expands
Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel sources for 7.1channel playback.
• THX Games Mode
This mode is designed for use with video games.
• THX Surround EX
This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. It’s
especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX
Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround
EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.
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.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,
and surround back 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.
59
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 the multichannel DVD input
cannot be recorded.
• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to
the manuals supplied with your digital recording
equipment for more details.
• Digital input signals are output by only the digital outputs, and analog input signals are output by only the
analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from
digital to analog or vice versa.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
Recording Audio and Video from
Separate 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 TAPE, TUNER, 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 Video 4 Input Video jack are recorded by
the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
Camcorder
Recording the Input Source
video signal
audio signal
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or
DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be
recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder)
connected to the to VIDEO 1 OUT or VIDEO 2 OUT
jacks. See pages 22 to 36 for hookup information.

button repeatedly to select either
Bass or Treble.
2
Use the Tone [–]/[+] buttons to
adjust.
These settings only apply to 2-channel (stereo) sources.
■ Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
■ Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.
Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6.
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
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally
if you’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 adjusts the front left, right, and
center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default
value is 3).
Neo:6 Music
■ Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
value is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround
speakers are connected.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

■ Delay
When several components are turned on simultaneously
via the 12-volt triggers, depending on the type of components, a large amount of current may be drawn momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay the trigger signals
output by the AV receiver. In addition, by delaying the
trigger signal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last
component to be turned on, you can avoid the “thump”
noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component
is turned on.
The delay setting determines how long after the input
source is changed on the AV receiver the trigger signal is
output. It can be set to 0 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, or 3 sec. When
set to 0 sec, the trigger signal is output as soon as the
input source is changed.
■ 12V Trigger Setting for Each Input Source
By default, all input sources on the 12V Trigger A Setup
menu are set to Main, those on the 12V Trigger B Setup
menu are set to Main/Zone 2, and those on the 12V Trigger C Setup menu are set to Zone2.
Off: No trigger signal is output.
Main: Select this if you want to output a 12-volt trigger signal when a connected component is
selected as the source for the main room.
Zone2: Select this if you want to output a 12-volt trigger signal when a connected component is
selected as the source for Zone 2.
Main/Zone2: Select this if you want to output a 12-volt
trigger signal when a connected component is
selected as the source for either the main room
or Zone 2.

Using the Remote Controller in
Zone 2 and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit.
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line
of sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when
it’s installed inside a cabinet.

yourself, contact the dealer from whom you purchased.
Power
Can’t turn on the AV receiver
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall
outlet properly.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5
seconds or more, then plug it 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 the dealer from whom you purchased.
Audio
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected
properly (page 43).
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 22).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with metal
part of each speaker terminal (page 19)
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume (page 46). The AV receiver is
designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide
volume range for precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,
press the remote controller’s [Muting] button to
unmute the AV receiver (page 54).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the Phones
jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 55).
• Check the digital audio output settings on the connected device. On some games 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.
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer
(page 33).
• Check the speaker settings (pages 66–71).
• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an
HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,
and be sure to select a supported audio format.
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to
Auto (page 76).
Only the front speakers produce sound
• When the Stereo listening mode is selected, only the
front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers
output sound when the Output Sp setting is set to Front
(page 64).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
Only the center speaker produces sound
• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an
AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is
concentrated in the center speaker.
• In the Mono listening mode, only the center speaker
outputs sound when the Output Sp setting is set to
Center (page 64).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
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 current listening mode,
not much sound may be produced by the surround
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
The center speaker produces no sound
• When the Stereo listening mode is selected, the center
speaker produces no sound.
• In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers
output sound when the Output Sp setting is set to Front
(page 64).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
The surround back speakers produce no sound
• The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Select another listening mode
(page 56).
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround
back speakers with some sources.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
• When the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals are used,
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels,
and the surround back speakers produce no sound
(page 78).
89
Troubleshooting—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound
• When you play source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces
no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(pages 66, 67).
The Zone 2 speakers produce no sound
• The Zone 2 speakers only output sources that are connected to an analog input. Check to see if the source is
connected to an analog input.
There’s no sound with a certain signal format
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback
• When the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals are used,
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels.
The volume cannot be set to +18 dB (99)
• After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been
used, or the volume level of each speaker has been
adjusted (pages 54, 69), the maximum possible volume setting be reduced.
Noise can be heard
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 64).
The multichannel DVD input doesn’t work
• Check the multichannel DVD input connections
(page 26).
• To select the multichannel DVD input, press the
[Multi CH] input selector button.
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
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, because the AV receiver
does not switch formats immediately, you may not
hear any sound, in which case you should stop your
player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.
90
• 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.
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.
Video
There’s no picture
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 22).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• If a video component is connected to a component
video input, your TV must be connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT or HDMI OUT (page 23).
• If a video component is connected to an HDMI input,
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• To watch a composite video or S-Video source on a
TV that’s connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO

page 42.
• To watch a composite video, S-Video, or component
video source on a TV that’s connected to the HDMI
OUT, select “- - -” in the “HDMI Video Setup” on
page 41.
There’s no picture from a source connected to
an HDMI IN
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV
receiver’s display, this indicates that the TV or display
does not support the current video resolution and you
need to select another resolution on your DVD player.
The onscreen menus don’t appear
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
The picture is distorted
• On non-North American models, specify the TV system used in your area in the “TV Format Setup” on
page 45.

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers
from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 47).
• 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.
Can’t select XM radio channels (North American model only)
• Channels cannot be selected while the
indicator is flashing, as tuning is in progress.
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 7).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 7).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 12).
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code (page 84).
Can’t control other components
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 12).
• If you’ve connected an
-capable Onkyo MD
recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or an
Onkyo Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 3 IN
jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you
must set the input display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see
page 44).
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If
more than one code is listed, try each one.
• If none of the codes work, use the Learning function
to learn the commands of the other component’s
remote controller (page 87).
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not
work as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control an Integra/Onkyo component that’s connected via
, point the remote controller at the AV
receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 85).
• To control an Integra/Onkyo component that’s not connected via
, or another manufacturer’s component,
point the remote controller at the component. Be sure
to enter the appropriate remote control code first
(page 84).
Can’t learn commands from another remote
controller
• When learning commands, make sure that the transmitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at
each other.
• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that
cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot
be learned, especially those that contain several
instructions.
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., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT,
VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT, or VIDEO 2 IN to
VIDEO 2 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
• Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust”
menus to select “Main” or “Sub” (page 64).
The
functions don’t work
• To use
, you must make an
connection and an
analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV receiver, even if they are connected digitally (page 36).
• While Zone 2 is on, the
functions do not work.

Troubleshooting—Continued
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 five 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
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important
data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn
it on and, while holding down the [Video 1] button,
press the [Standby/On] button. “Clear” will appear
on the display and the AV receiver will enter
Standby mode.
Set the AV receiver to Standby before disconnecting
the power cord from the wall outlet.
