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. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certiﬁed THX speaker system recommended).

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, 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.

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.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Conﬁguration

For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

Number of speakers: 234567

Front left

Front right

Center

Surround left

Surround right

Surround back*

Surround back left

Surround back right

* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, use the SURR

BACK L terminals.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 55) or manually (see page 101).

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:

•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, be sure to set the speaker impedance to 4 ohms (see page 47). 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

• 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.

Strip about 5/8" (15

mm) of insulation from

5/8" (15 mm)

Fully insert the bare wire.

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

Unscrew the terminal.

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 SURR BACK L terminals.

Bi-amping the 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 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 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 47).

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.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup

Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+)

terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) tweeter (high) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R negative (–) terminal to the right speaker’s negative (–) tweeter (high) terminal.

Connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK R posi-

tive (+) terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) woofer (low) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK R negative (–) terminal to the right speaker’s negative (–) woofer (low) terminal.

Bridging the 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 bridged together to provide almost double the output power for the front speakers.

• When bridging is used, the AV receiver is able to drive 2 speakers in the main room (2.1 speakers if you’re using a powered subwoofer).

•For bridging, the positive (+) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts are used, but the negative (–) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminals are not.

• Once you’ve completed the bridging connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the Speaker Type setting to BTL to enable bridging (see page 47).

Notes:

• Use only front speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher for bridging. Failure to do so may seriously damage the AV receiver.

• When using bridging, make sure that your front speakers can handle the additional power.

Bridged Speaker Hookup

Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+)

terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker’s negative terminal.

Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT L positive (+)

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.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

•To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

HDMI connections can carry uncompressed standard- or high-deﬁnition digital video and audio and offer the best picture and sound quality.

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video jacks slightly differently.)

S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and

provides better picture quality than composite video.

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs,

and other video equipment.

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.

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 112).

■

HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Main or Sub

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Main or Sub (see page 48), 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 the Main or Sub setting if you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to your TV.

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

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: High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface Speciﬁcation Informational Version 1.3a

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.

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 MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB 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

to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel

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

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. See “HDMI Input Setup” on page 50.

■

Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI outputs. See “Video Connection Formats” on page 30 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 outputs, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 114).

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 114), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

When listening to audio from an HDMI component through the AV receiver’s speakers, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on your TV (e.g., on your TV, select the input to which the HDMI component is connected). If your TV is not turned on or a different input is selected, the AV receiver’s speakers may produce no sound or the sound may be cut off.

Note:

• When the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 114), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver’s 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 a Turntable

The AV receiver’s PHONO IN is designed for use with a moving magnet (MM) type cartridge.

Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s PHONO IN L/R jacks to the audio output on your turntable.

Notes:

• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer. Connect your turntable to the head amp or transformer, and connect that to the AV receiver’s PHONO IN L/R jacks.

•You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turntable with an MC-type cartridge. See your phono

• Set the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch to HDD or HDD/DOCK.

• Set the AV receiver’s Input Display to DOCK (see page 52).

• See the RI Dock’s instruction manual for more information.

Connecting the Power Cords of Other Components (North American model only)

The AV receiver has AC outlets on its rear panel that can be used to connect the power cords of other components that you intend to use with the AV receiver. These components can then be left turned on so that they turn on and off as and when the AV receiver is set to On or Standby.

Caution:

• Make sure that the total capacity of the components that you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).

Note:

• When the HDMI Control setting is set to Enable (page 114), the AC outlets are on all the time regardless of whether the AV receiver is set to On or Standby, or Ready mode in this case, so any components connected to them cannot be turned on or off automatically.

• Integra/Onkyo components connected via should be connected directly to a wall outlet, not an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

Connecting an External Controller

The AV receiver can be controlled externally by connecting an external controller. The controller can be connected to the AV receiver’s RS232 port or ETHERNET port. If a controller is connected to the ETHERNET port, in the Network settings (page 122), set the Control setting to Enable, and set the Port number as required.

Refer to your controller’s instruction manual for details on which AV receiver functions can be controlled and operating information.

Connecting Integra/Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Integra/Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable

(RCA).

Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below). Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 52).

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. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

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 input, you’ll need to press the [Audio Selector] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 85), as the Direct Change function selects the DVD IN L/R jacks.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Integra/Onkyo components. You must enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (see page 133). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver and not the other component.

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

Up and Running in a Few Easy Steps

To get your system up and running with the minimum of fuss, here’s a few pointers to help you conﬁgure the AV receiver before you use it for the very ﬁrst time. These settings only need to be made once.

■ Do the automatic speaker setup—this is essential!

See “Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey MultEQ XT)” on page 55.

■ Did you connect your TV to an HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT 1 or 2?

If you did, see “HDMI Monitor Setup” on page 48.

■ Did you connect a component to an HDMI input, component video input, or digital audio input?

If you did, see “HDMI Input Setup” on page 50, “Component Video Input Setup” on page 51, or “Digital Input Setup” on page 52 respectively.

■ Did you connect an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock?

If you did, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 52.

Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey MultEQ XT)

With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT can measure the number of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and distances from the listening position and calculate the optimal speaker settings for you 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 up to eight positions within the listening area.

■

1st measurement position

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

■

2nd–8th measurement positions

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

TV TV TV

Using Audyssey MultEQ XT

Notes:

• If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the Speaker Impedance setting before running the automatic speaker setup (see page 47).

• 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 15 minutes to complete the automatic speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of positions and speakers.

• Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone during the automatic speaker setup, unless you want to cancel the setup.

• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.

Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

In some cases, the measurements taken by the automatic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running the speaker setup a second time doesn’t help, you’ll have to set the speaker settings manually (see pages 101–106).

Notes:

•For THX-certiﬁed speakers, the 80 Hz (THX) crossover frequency is recommended. If you use the automatic speaker setup, you’ll need to manually select 80 Hz (THX) for each THX-certiﬁed speaker (see page 101).

• Because of the complexities of low-frequency sounds and the way they interact with a room, THX recommends setting the subwoofer level and distance manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. In this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, select 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.

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. 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.

Listening to HD Radio™ Stations (North American model only)

HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conventional analog AM and FM radio stations, with improved sound quality, better reception, and new data services. HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for FM stations and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs on the same frequency by using multicast channels. Text data display incudes station name, song title, artist name, and so on.

For more information about HD Radio technology, visit: www.ibiquity.com www.hdradio.com

About HD Radio Stations

HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM frequencies they’ve always used, and you can receive them by tuning into your favorite station as normal (see page 63). You can store them as presets just like AM and FM stations (see page 82).

If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the HD indicator lights up.

While a digital HD Radio transmission is being received, the DIGITAL indicator lights up. While an analog HD Radio transmission is being received, the ANALOG indicator lights up.

Press the [Audio Selector] button repeatedly to select Auto.

While “Auto” is shown on the display, use the Tone Plus [+] and Minus [–] buttons to select:

PCM:

Only input signals in PCM

format are output, and the PCM indicator lights up. The indicator ﬂashes if the input signal is not PCM.

DTS:

Only input signals in DTS format are output, and the DTS indicator lights up. The indicator ﬂashes if the input signal is not DTS.

Auto (default):

The format is detected automatically. If no digital input signal is present, the analog input is used instead.

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.

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.

Multichannel

This mode is for use with analog or PCM multichannel sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

This mode 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.

Dolby EX

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby Digital 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/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

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 lossless audio performance with 96 kHz/24bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to 96 kHz and 2-channel sources up to 192 kHz.

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).

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 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.

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.

DTS-HD High Resolution

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/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

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 uncompressed digital audio with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to 96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.

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-channel 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 Ultra2 Cinema

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1channel 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.

• 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.

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 virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. It 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.

Note:

• Since the Onkyo original DSP modes use the Dolby PLIIx and Neo:6 circuits for processing, when one of these modes is selected, the PLIIx indicator, or Neo:6 indicator for multichannel sources, lights up.

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.

•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.

Recording the Input Source

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 29 to 45 for hookup information.

Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.

See “Which Connections Should I Use?” on page 30 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 2 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Direct Setting

■

DSD

This setting determines whether or not DSD (SACD) audio signals are passed through the DSP for A/V Sync, delay, etc., processing when the Direct listening mode is selected.

No:

DSD signals are not processed by the DSP.

Yes:

DSD signals are processed by the DSP.

Multiplex/Mono Settings

Multiplex

■

Input Ch

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Main:

The main channel is output (default).

Sub:

The sub channel is output.

Main/Sub:

Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono

■

Input Ch

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output (default).

Only the left channel is output.

Only the right channel is output.

■

Output Speaker

This setting determines which speakers output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is selected.

L/R:

Mono audio is output by the front left and right speakers.

Mono audio is output by the center speaker (default).

PLIIx/Neo:6 Settings

Enter

PLIIx Music (2 ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these

settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

■

When you’ve ﬁnished, press the [Setup] button.

Setup closes.

Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

On:

Panorama function on.

Off:

Panorama function off (default).

Adjusting the Listening Modes

■

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound ﬁeld forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The default value is 0. Lower settings move the sound ﬁeld forward. Higher settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

■

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.

Dolby Digital Settings

■

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are handled.

Auto:

When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening mode.

Manual:

When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible with this format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.).

T–D (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.

Front left speaker Front right speaker

30˚

Narrow:

Select if the angle is less than 30 degrees.

Wide:

Select if the angle is greater than 30 degrees.

LFE Level Settings

With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for Dolby Digital, DTS, and multichannel PCM sources. The level can be set to –∞, –20 dB, –10 dB, or 0 dB (default).

If you ﬁnd that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to –20 dB or –∞ dB.
