• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables
must also be connected.
• The RC-418M remote controller does not support turntables.
• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can
use either one to connect to the DTR-7.1. The other one can be
used to daisy chain with another component.
• For Integra DVD or MD players, you can control them by
simply pointing the RC-418M controller directly at the
component.
These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM
loop antenna that are supplied with the DTR-7.1.
IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2
If the DTR-7.1 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not
allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to
connect a remote sensor to IR IN MAIN input to be able to use the
remote controller. Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked
location where you can easily point the remote controller.
To use the remote controller in the remote zone (Zone 2), which
may be far separated from the DTR-7.1, connect a multiroom
system kit to the IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2 input.
To be able to use the remote controller through either the IR
IN MAIN or IR IN ZONE 2 inputs, you must connect one of
the following (sold separately):
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller
Extension System), or
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles
and Xantech® to name a few
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video
connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video
connectors on the DTR-7.1. The DTR-7.1 has two component
video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, P
directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component
and one component video output connector to output it directly
into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure
DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the
extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The
result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike
colors and crisp detail.

Connecting antennas
To the use the tuner of DTR-7.1, it is necessary to prepare the
supplied FM and AM antennas.
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for
better reception must be done while listening to a station
broadcast.
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an
outside antenna is recommended.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
• Refer to the next page for details on connecting the AM loop
antenna.
Insert into the hole.
Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend
the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest
signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in
the position that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction
and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far
away as possible from the DTR-7.1, televisions, speaker cables,
and power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding
is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with
each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna,
use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting the power
• The DTR-7.1 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch
in the on position (
ON
). When the power cord is plugged in
for the first time, the DTR-7.1 will automatically enter the
standby state and the Standby indicator will light (same
condition after step 2 below).
• Before you plug in the DTR-7.1, confirm that all connections
have been made properly.
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall
outlet on a different circuit.
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
2. Press the Power switch to set the DTR-7.1 to
standby state.
The Standby indicator will light up.
3. Press the Standby/On button to turn on the
DTR-7.1. The display will light up and the
Standby indicator will turn off.
If you press the Standby/On button again, the receiver returns
to Standby mode.
Turning the power on from the remote controller:
Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform steps
1 and 2 above and place the DTR-7.1 in the standby state.
1. Press the AUDIO MODE button.
2. Press the ON button to turn on the DTR-7.1
(take it out of the standby state).
• To return the DTR-7.1 to the standby state, press the
STNBY button.
Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A
built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents
of the memory during power failures and even when the
Power switch is set to off. The Power switch must be set to on
in order to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been
turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the
unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a
period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been
turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a
highly humid climate.

The On-Screen Display (OSD) menu
The OSD menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV
monitor and allows you to perform your speaker settings, setup
your input sources, set the listening modes, and much more. In
most situations, you will only need to set this once during the
installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to
be changed later.
The OSD menu consists of a main screen that is divided up into 5
menus: Speaker Setup, Input Setup, Listening Mode Setup,
Preference, and OSD Setup. These menus are then divided up into
various sub-menus, and these contain settings for you to optimize
your home theater as you wish.

1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at
different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room
designs and configurations. These settings and the distance
settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics
required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Note:
The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-channel
input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-channel input
sources, you will need to use the CH SEL, LEVEL+, and LEVEL–
buttons on the RC-418M remote controller. See page 57.

Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-7.1 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master
volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB).
Remember the level of this noise and then press the
button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level between –
12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-7.1 will
now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the
and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of
the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as
the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
cursor
(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-7.1 will now emit
the pink noise from the front right speaker.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume
level.
Notes:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a
handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to Cweighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack
®
SPL meter or
equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel
sound pressure level.
a. Left
Sound comes from the front left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
b. Center

Input Setup
a. Digital Input
This setting tells the DTR-7.1 which input source button on the
front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear
panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input
source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input
jack it is connected to here.
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD
and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT
(OPTICAL) 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source
selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”
OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.
OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.
COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.
COAX2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 2.
––––: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.
Note:
Do not assign a digital input to more than one input source. If you
are making a digital connection that requires you to change the
default settings, be sure to always first cancel the current digital
input setting and then assign the new setting.
b. Digital Format
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this input
source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear.
Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it
as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know
that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format
from a particular input source).
All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The
input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog)
used by the selected input source is detected automatically to
execute the required decoding process.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when DTS signals are input.
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when PCM signals are input.
Note:
If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded
during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping
sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM”
setting is selected on the DTR-7.1, the DTS encoded signal
will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to
selected “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS
decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts
operating. This is not a malfunction.
• If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while
playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS”
selected.
• The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.1 lights while a DTS source
is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the DTR-7.1 remains in DTS mode and the
DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you
operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if
the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the
PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback
of the source on the player for about three seconds and then
resume playback.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the
player to the DTR-7.1 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.1 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear
noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE
OUT, output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or
LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTSencoded signal will be recorded as noise.
• If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played
back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced.
Always select “All” or “DTS” when playing back DTSencoded sources.
c. Multichannel
This sub-menu will not appear if AM or FM is selected at the front
panel for the input source. This setting is normally set to “No,” and
only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG
decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is
connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel,
6.1-channel, or 7.1-channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is
connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select
DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu,
and select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting. You can only select
Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is
selected here.
Note:
When playing a device that is actually connected to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT terminal, select Multichannel with the
AUDIO SELECTOR button.

2-3. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu
With the DTR-7.1, you can set a different listening mode for each
different signal type that comes from each input source and also
set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if
your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video
signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set
a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types
of movies or music.

• The DTR-7.1 will automatically switch to the listening mode
set for the current input signal. For example, even when using
the same DVD player, if a CD is played, the listening mode
automatically becomes “Stereo,” and if a DVD is played
(Dolby Digital 3/2.1), the listening mode automatically
becomes Dolby D.
* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of
versions including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1- channel
digital surround format enables you to individually record and
play five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right
front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel
(Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will
create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and
concert halls.

Input Setup
Listening Modes
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front
speakers.
Direct
This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality
adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left
front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and
not output to the subwoofer.
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as
old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the
unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the
center-channel sound processed with the appropriate
reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the
atmosphere of a movie theater.
Surround modes
With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the
input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the
input signal.
• DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,
DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to
individually record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz)
channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels)
plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the lowrange effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be
heard in the theaters and concert halls.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is for listening to sources encoded in the Dolby
Digital format.
Dialog normalization (Dialog Norm)
Dialog normalization is a feature of Dolby Digital. With this
function, for example, if “Dialog Norm: +4” is displayed while
playing back a Dolby Digital source, it means that that source
material was recorded 4 decibels higher than normal. Thus, by
lowering the volume by 4 decibels, it can be played back at the
same standard level for other sources. However, since most
source materials have been recorded at the same standard
level, you will rarely need to adjust the volume.
DTS
This mode is for playing back DTS sources.
• Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logoc/3 Stereo)
This mode is for playing back sources encoded using the
Dolby Pro Logic format. Select this listening mode when you
play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the
mark.
This surround format consists of four channels (left, right,
center, and monaural surround) and emphasizes the center
channel. Dolby Pro Logic is very effective for panning music,
conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output
from the three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere
and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and
rear walls of the theater.
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround
sound is divided and output from the front left and right
channels (3 stereo).
THX
This mode is for playing back sources using THX.
This mode will work well with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and
DTS sources and Dolby encoded sources.
For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is
recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.
• THX Cinema
This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode
should be used only when playing back sources that were
mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.
• THX Surround EX
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint
development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of
Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded
with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to
reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the
mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back,
places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently
available front left, front center, front right, surround right,
surround left, and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more
detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth,
spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.
When released to the home consumer market, movies that
were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A
list of movies created using this technology can be found on
the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com <http://
www.dolby.com> .
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX
Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,
faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode
during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby
Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case, the information
delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program
dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on
the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual
listener.
38
Input Setup
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended
that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker,
and surround left and right speakers. However, even if you only
have front left and right speakers, you can still enjoy multichannel
audio by using this mode.
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches
each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full
effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to
the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective
sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the
desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening
position to minimize reflective sound.
Enhanced 7
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment
by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly
toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV
sports programs.
Orchestra
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center
channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen
the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is
created in large halls.
TV Logic
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity
of the conversation.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and
jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate
the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling
of being in a club or rock concert.
All Ch Stereo
This mode is designed for playing background music. The front,
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that
encompasses the entire area.

Listening Mode Setup
Description listening mode parameters
Subwoofer
Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is
connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Re-EQ
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or
off.
Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or
“brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for
the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright
when played back through speakers in the home environment.
On: Select to turn on the re-equalization filter.
Off: Select to turn off the re-equalization filter.
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide which speakers to output to when
surround back speakers are connected and you are playing back a
5.1-channel source.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and
right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround
back speaker.
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back
speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right
speakers. This setting can only be selected when two surround
back speakers are connected to the DTR-7.1.
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left
and right speakers and the surround back speaker.
Dolby D 6.1
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel output when a
surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital.
On: Outputs using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of
whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital
regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers
(Dolby D is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal Dolby Digital regardless of the
above setting. For Dolby Digital 6.1-channel playback, Dolby D 6.1
is displayed for the listening mode.
DTS-ES
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be
played back using the matrix 6.1-channel (DTS-ES) output when a
surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with ES-identifying
signals using DTS-ES playback.
On: Outputs using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or
not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Off: Does not output using DTS-ES playback regardless of
whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting.
For DTS-ES playback, DTS-ES is displayed for the listening mode.
Dolby D THX Surround EX
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround
back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is
used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal THX regardless of the above
setting. For THX Surround EX playback, Dolby D THX Surround
EX is displayed for the listening mode.
DTS THX Surround EX
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be
played back using the THX Surround EX when a surround back
speaker is connected.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above
setting. For THX Surround EX playback, DTS THX Surround EX
is displayed for the listening mode.
Front Effect
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or
presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation
from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three
front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any
further reverberation.
Effect Level
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of sound effects to
match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,
and such other factors. This can be set to “Low,” “Mid-low,”
“Middle,” “Mid-high,” or “High.”
Room Size
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each
surround mode. You can choose from “Large,” “Mid-Large,”
“Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”

Listening Mode Setup
Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and
right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of 20 and 40
degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is
closest to your actual listening angle.
Front left speaker
Front right speaker
Listening angle
Center
For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal
can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center
speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a
center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left
and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)
On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.
Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and
right speakers (Phantom Center).

speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a
wider sound space.
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal
sound space.
Virtual Surr Level
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set
from –3 to +3 decibels.

You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting
on screen.
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min (0)
for no sound and a maximum of max (80). As a reference, the
volume setting of Ref (62) is used as the 0 -decibel for the
relative display method.
Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a scale
with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0, which
equals the volume setting of 62 for the absolute display
method. With this display method, the minimum value is – ,
the next highest is –61, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Maximum Volume
This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be

from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume
and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute volume
display method, this can be set between min and max. For the
relative volume display method, this can be set between – and
+18 decibels. If you do not mind having the DTR-7.1 turned on
with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”
Activated: Select when speakers are connected to the ZONE2
SPEAKERS terminals. During playback in the remote zone

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
the RC-418M remote controller, you must first decide under which
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general,
you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the
component you are programming. For example, if you are
programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact
disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by
pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-418M
remote controller will change to the commands you program here
to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller
over to the RC-418M remote controller one at a time. Each
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC418M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step
except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD,
SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT
and MODE), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to
memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote
controller for the other device facing each
other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches)
apart.

step 2 to complete the programming.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to
make sure the learning function was
performed properly.
Notes:
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players,
cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have
already been programmed into buttons on the remote
controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program
the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore
the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you
must first erase the new codes (see page 63).
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 51
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such
cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which
commands are more important than others.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three
times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 2.
• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, “NG” appears in the
display, and the remote controller exits the programming
mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming,
“ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the
remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six
times quickly, “FULL” appears in the display, and the remote
controller exits the programming mode. Try programming
under a different MODE button.
• When you want to program a command to a button to which
you have already programmed a command, simply follow the
same procedure given and programming for that button will be
overwritten.
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller,
be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is
quite different from the remote controller and therefore may
not be able to be programmed.
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function
must be programmed to a separate button on the remote
controller.
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other
remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came
with that product for instructions on how to operate that
product.
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries
that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of
the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.
