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).

abFront 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.

deSurround 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.

ghSurround 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.

ijFront 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. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front speakers.

klFront wide speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the front speakers. See also about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Connecting Your Speakers

The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller’s PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need 7 speakers and a powered subwoofer.

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

*1*2

✔

the SURR BACK L terminals.

Front high, surround back and front wide speakers cannot be used at the same time.

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. You can do this automatically (➔ 27) or manually (➔ 48).

Connecting a Power Amplifier with RCA Inputs

You can connect the AV controller to a multichannel power amplifier with RCA input jacks by using a multichannel RCA audio cable or several stereo RCA audio cables. See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back 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 dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting the Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV controller’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively. The same signal is output from each jack.

Woofer (low)

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respec- tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 48).

The AV controller 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.

Video Connection Formats

Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality. The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting (➔ 45), which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.

For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).

To by-pass video upconversion in the AV controller, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and Return on the AV controller. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press Return to toggle until “Skip” appears on the display. Release both buttons.

To use the video upconversion in the AV controller, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and release the buttons.

■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

Video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.

Use these settings if you connect the AV controller’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to your TV.

The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup

Using Audyssey MultEQ to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six positions within the listening area. 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 inaccurate results.

■ First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.



■ Second

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to six positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.

Sixth measurement positions

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ 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 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 allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (➔ 53). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔ 53), the “Equalizer” setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔ 50). On the other hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting will be set to “Off” (➔ 53). It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 6 positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be detected by Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

: Video signal : Audio signal

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Connecting a Recording Component

• 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.

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.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack.

Use the input selector buttons to select the source

that you want to record.

You can watch the source while recording. The AV controller’s Master Volume control has no effect on recording.

On your recorder, start recording.

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Prepare the camcorder and CD player for play-

back.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press AUX input selector.

Press TV/CD input selector.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Start recording on the VCR and start playback on

the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Explanatory Notes

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

A S

This is mono (monophonic) sound. This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two

speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel sources.

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 Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360degree 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.

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrixencoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

DTS Neo:6 This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1-channel playback. It

uses seven 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).

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

Audyssey DSX

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 then 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.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic II and Audyssey DSX modes can be used.

The combination of Neo:6 Cinema/Music and Audyssey DSX modes can be used.

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Ultra2 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 deterio-

rating 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

■ Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

 0dB

It should be used when listening to movies.

 5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

 10dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 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 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.

Audyssey MultEQ® 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 allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

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 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.

About NET Connecting the AV Controller

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.

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.

■ 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.

• 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, see “Network Settings” (➔ 70).

• 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 (➔ 70).

Network Settings

• When modifying network settings, after modifying it is necessary to execute “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV controller’s network settings manually.

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

Using the 12V Triggers

Note

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trigger-capable components automatically when they are selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that they activate when a connected component is selected as the input source for the main room, Zone 2 or any combination of rooms. When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts and 150 milliamperes max. at TRIGGER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at TRIGGER OUT B and C).

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.

Use q/w to select “Delay”, and use e/r to select:

0sec, 1sec, 2sec, or 3sec.

When 0 sec is selected, the trigger signal is output as soon as the input source is changed.

Use q/w to select an input source, and use e/r to

select an option.

 Off:

No trigger signal is output. A 12-volt trigger signal is output when the connected component is selected as the source for:

 Main:

Main room.

 Zone 2:

Zone 2.

 Main/Zone 2:

Main room or Zone 2.

• 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 “Zone 2”

When you’ve finished, press Setup.

The setup menu closes.

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.

and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV controller 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 controller’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2

In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them through to the AV controller in the main room via the connecting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV controller located in the cabinet via the connecting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV controller’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other compo- nent’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at the AV controller’s IR IN A or B jack are fed through to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up by the AV controller’s remote control sensor are not output.

The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be connected to the AV controller’s IR IN A or B jack, as shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up to two IR receivers can be connected.

The IR emitter should be connected to the AV controller’s

IR OUT jack, as shown below.

Learning Commands

Remote

Mode

About 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm)

Supplied remote controller

The AV controller’s remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and

then transmit the exact same command when its 1 is pressed in the CD remote mode.

This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote control code (➔ 85) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

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.

About HDMI

Note

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) 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

, so only HDCP-compatible components

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.

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.

• 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.
