About Home Theater

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. 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)

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.

Corner position

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.

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to 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 (➔ 28) or manually (➔ 51).

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 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (➔ 51). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to 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.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

Note

Connect a turntable (MM) that has built-in a phono preamp to TV/CD IN or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s manual for details. 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.

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from HDMI outputs. However, because the AV receiver selects the video input in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN.

To use multichannel input, audio input settings are required (➔ 66). You can adjust the sensitivity to the subwoofer signal input using multichannel input (➔ 51).

• The AV receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

• With connection D, you can listen and record audio from the external components while you are in Zone 2/3. You can listen and record audio from the external components in the main room; you can listen to the audio in Zone 2/3 as well.

• With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen in Zone 2/3 as well, use C and D.)

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 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 receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting (➔ 48), 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 receiver, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and Return on the AV receiver. 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 receiver, 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 receiver 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 receiver’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

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 (➔ 56).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔ 56), the “Equalizer” setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔ 53). On the other hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting will be set to “Off” (➔ 56). 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 Audyssey MultEQ

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 6 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.

Press Display repeatedly to cycle through the available information.

The following information can be displayed:

annel name and Channel number

Using RDS (Australian models)

RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator lights.

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

■ PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing Display will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

■ RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display as described in the next section.

■ PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (➔ 38).

■ TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (➔ 38).

Note

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

Finding Stations by Type (PTY)

You can search for radio stations by type.

Press RT/PTY/TP twice.

The current program type appears on the display.

Use Preset e/r to select the type of program you

want.

See the table shown later in this chapter.

To start the search, press Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station of the type you specified, at which point it stops briefly before continuing with the search.

When a station you want to listen to is found, press

Enter.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found” appears.

Listening to Traffic News (TP)

You can search for stations that broadcast traffic news.

Press RT/PTY/TP three times.

If the current radio station is broadcasting TP (Traffic Program), “[TP]” will appear on the display, and traffic news will be heard as and when it’s broadcast. If “TP” without square brackets appears, this means that the station is not broadcasting TP.

To locate a station that is broadcasting TP, press

Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station that’s broadcasting TP.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found” appears.

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text can be displayed.

Displaying Radio Text (RT)

Press RT/PTY/TP once.

The RT information scrolls across the display.

Note

•The message “Wa iti ng” may appear while the AV receiver waits for the RT information.

• If the message “No Text Data” appears on the display, no RT information is available.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, 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.

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 receiver’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.

VIDEO

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 Inp ut Video jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

■ 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.

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.

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.

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

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 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 Connecting the AV Receiver

The AV receiver 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 receiver 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 receiver to your home network.

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV receiver’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 receiver 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 radio

Modem

Router

WAN port

LAN port

■ 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 receiver, 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 receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see “Network Settings” (➔ 73).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-compatible 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 receiver (➔ 73).

LAN/Ethernet port

Computer or media server

Listening to Internet Radio

To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV receiver to a network with Internet access (➔ 67). You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the AV receiver 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).

Using the 12V Triggers

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, Zone 3 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 receiver’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.

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

0sec (Trigger A: default), 1sec (Trigger B: default), 2sec (Trigger C: default), 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 (Trigger A: default):

Main room.

` Zone 2 (Trigger C: default):

■ 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, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

■ About DTS signals

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 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 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.

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.

■ Playback stops while listening to music files on

the server

Make sure your server is compatible with the AV receiver.

If you download or copy large files on your computer, playback may be interrupted. Try closing any unused programs, use a more powerful computer, or use a dedicated server.

If the server is serving large music files to several networked devices simultaneously, the network may become overloaded and playback may be interrupted. Reduce the number of playback devices on the network, upgrade your network, or use a switch instead of a hub.

■ Can’t connect to the AV receiver from a Web

browser

If you’re using DHCP, your router may not always allocate the same IP address to the AV receiver, so if you find that you can’t connect to a server or Internet radio station, recheck the AV receiver’s IP address on Network screen.

Check the “Network Settings”. 73
