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 DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or 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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward 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. 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 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 width of the 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.

Corner

1/3 wall length

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 equidistant 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.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• North American models: Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. 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.

• 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 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 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.

• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR SPEAKERS terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

• 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.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)

of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the bare

wires.

Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT SPEAKERS L/R and SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or biamped 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 receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK SPEAKERS 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 Speakers Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable biamping (see page 44).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.

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. The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting, 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). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 104).

■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see page 45), video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use this set-

ting if you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT to your TV.

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) can display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a

, so only HDCP-compatible components

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, DTSHD Master Audio)

Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

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.

DTR-6.8_En.book Page 36 Wednesday, June 20, 2007 4:16 PM

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

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 Input Setup (see page 46).

■ 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 25 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 HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 106).

Note:

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.

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio

Hint!

Out setting to On (see page 106), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Note:

When the HDMI Audio setting is set to On (see page 106), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

Connecting Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Integra/Onkyo compo-

nent is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (see pages 27 to 40).

Step 2: Make the connection.

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock,

change the input display (see page 48).

With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■ Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via will also go on Standby.

■ Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to press the [Multi CH] button to hear all channels (see page 58), as the Direct Change

function only selects the DVD FRONT L/R

jacks.

■ Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Integra/Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 117).

Notes:

• Use only cables for connections. cables are supplied with Integra/Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

• Some components have two jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable components.

• Connect only Integra/Onkyo components to jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Integra/Onkyo components.

• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change functions do not work.

Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey MultEQ XT)

With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the Audyssey MultEQ XT function can measure the number of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and the distance from each speaker to the listening position and calculate the optimal speaker settings for your listening environment automatically. Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey MultEQ XT takes measurements at from 3 up to a maximum of eight positions within the listening area.

■ 1st measurement point

This is the center position of your listening area, or the listening position if there’s only one listener.

−8th measurement positions

■ 2nd

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure from 3 up to a maximum of eight 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.

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 manually (see pages 88–94).

Notes:

• Please note that any THX main speakers should be set to Small [80 Hz (THX)]. If you set up your speakers using the Automatic Speaker Setup function, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to Small with 80 Hz (THX) crossover (see page 88).

• 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.

• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the main speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. If the subwoofer (SW) appears on the SP Detect Result screen as “No,” increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running the automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected, 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.

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 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

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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.

• Dolby PLIIx Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• Dolby PLIIx Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

• Dolby 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 surround-sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

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.

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 48 kHz 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 80.

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.

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 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 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

DTR-6.8_En.book Page 83 Wednesday, June 20, 2007 4:16 PM

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which 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 81.

Neural THX 5.1/7.1

Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX

5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-chan-

nel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games. Neural-THX Surround can also be used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surroundsound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo. XM Satellite Radio, for example, is using Neural-THX Surround on select channels, which the AV receiver can expand from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.

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.

THX

Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended.

• 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

5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

• THX Games Mode

This mode is designed for use with video games. It can expand 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources for

6.1/7.1-channel playback.

• THX Surround EX

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel 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.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

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)

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

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input.

• 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.

AV Recording

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, DVD recorder) connected to the to VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 25 to 41 for hookup information.

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 (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, CD or PHONO) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

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.

Camcorder

video signal audio signal

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.

VCRCD player

Prepare the camcorder and CD player for

playback.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press the [AUX] input selector button.

Press the [CD] input selector button.

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

Start recording on the VCR and start play-

back on the camcorder and CD player.

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

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 (default is 3).

When set to 0, there will output from the center speaker only.

When set to 7, the entire signal from the center channel will be divided between the left and right front speakers. There will be no output from the center speaker.

■ 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 is 2). 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.

Manual: You can select any available listening mode.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Listening Setting

■ Listening Angle

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting.

Front left speaker

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).
