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 Dolby Digital or DTS. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
Front left and right speakers
These output the main 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 front wall, as shown.
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.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, 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.
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.

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 your TV or 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:
North American models:
with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. 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.
Other models:
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 “4 ohms” (see page 43). 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. 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.
You can connect speakers
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered sub­woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SUB­WOOFER to the amp’s input.

Bi-amping Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for front speakers, providing improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
•For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con­nect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the Speaker Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable bi­amping (see page 43).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

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.
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.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.
When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 45).

nected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog (including multichannel). You can specify which audio inputs the AV receiver checks for the presence of a signal in the “Automatic Audio Input Selection Setup” on page 47.

Connecting Your Components
—Continued
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.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S­Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 44 and 45).
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, S-Video, composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be inter­preted as no component video signal being present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the S-Video and composite video inputs, however, the S-Video signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the S-Video and HDMI outputs.

Notes:
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s on Standby.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details.
•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT S jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT S jack.

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, 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, or multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), 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 will display a picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32–192kHz)
• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192kHz)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, DSD)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
*1
so TVs and displays
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.
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) 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): Led 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

If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable.
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 Input Setup (see page 44).
Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con­nection Formats” on page 23 for more information.
Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the Audio TV Out setting is set to On (see page 91).
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the Audio TV Out

Notes:
• 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.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.
• 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.

First Time Setup

This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.

Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ 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 2EQ 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 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See page 80)
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.
First measurement point
A
This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.
B
Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
C
Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accord­ingly when prompted.
Using Audyssey 2EQ
Notes:
• If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the Speaker Impedance setting before running the automatic speaker setup (see page 43).
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the automatic speaker setup starts.
• Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.
• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto­matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea­surement time varies depending on the speakers.
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.

Using RDS (European models only)

RDS only works in areas where RDS broadcasts are available. When tuned to an RDS station, the RDS indi­cator appears.
RDS indicator
What is RDS?
RDS stands for transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail­able in most European countries. RDS is approved by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is available in North America.
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 the [Display] button 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 (see page 66).
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type (see page 66).
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 66).
Notes:
• In some cases, the 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.

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.
The illustration shows which speakers are active in each listening mode with 7.1 channel speaker sys­tem.
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 and subwoofer.
Mono
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.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx

5.1-channel source + Dolby EX
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1­channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby 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.
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play­back.
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.
Dolby Digital Plus
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul­tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48kHz sampling rate.
Dolby TrueHD
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for­mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-chan­nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.
For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see page 71.
DTS
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high­fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.
DTS 96/24
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24­bit 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, that 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.
74
Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
DTS-ES Matrix
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, that use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1­channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS­ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.
DTS Neo:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 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).
5.1-channel source + Neo:6
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for
6.1/7.1-channel playback.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul­tichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.
DTS-HD Master Audio
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for­mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan­nels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels with 192 kHz sampling rate.
For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see page 72.
DTS Express
This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam­pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and media servers.
DSD
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).
This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi­channel audio.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
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.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

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 analog multichannel input 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 the Input Source

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas­sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 21 to 37 for hookup information.
1
Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.
See “Which Connections Should I Use?” on page 22 to see which signals can be output and recorded.

Recording from Different AV 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 AUX Input Video jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Adjusting the Listening Modes
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby 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 controls 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. The 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. The default value is 2.
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.
Theater-Dimensional Setting
Listening Angle
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen­sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi­distant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

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 or Zone 2.
When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 100 milliamperes max).

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.

Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller while you’re in Zone 2, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.
• 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.
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 receiver in the main room via the con­necting block.

• Remote control codes cannot be entered for the [Receiver] and [Zone 2] Remote Mode buttons.
• Only TV remote control codes can be entered for the [TV] Remote Mode button.
• Apart from the [Receiver], [TV], and [Zone 2] Remote Mode buttons, remote control codes from any cate­gory can be entered for the Remote Mode buttons. However, these but­tons also work as input selector but­tons (page 48), so choose a Remote Mode button that corresponds with the input to which you connect your component. For example, if you con­nect your CD player to the CD input, choose the [CD] Remote Mode but­ton when entering its remote control code.
Within 30 seconds, use the num­ber buttons to enter the 5-digit remote control code.
The Remote indicator flashes twice. If the remote control code is not entered
successfully, the Remote indicator will flash once slowly.
