that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Push Insert wireRelease
■ Other Models
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Once your DVD receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Use thumbtacks or something similar to

Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
Once your DVD receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your DVD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and
power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 17).
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 17).

Connecting Antenna—Continued
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in
an attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
4ohms 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.
• 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 to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV
receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage
the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.

AV Cables and Connectors
Before Making Any Connections
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.
•Do not place objects on the unit as they may interfere with proper ventilation.
Optical Digital Connectors
The DVD receiver’s optical digital connectors have a
shutter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is
inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in
all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
RCA AV Connection Color Coding
RCA AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
AV Cables & Connectors
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
The supplied AV cable is made up of an analog audio
cable and a composite video cable.

Connecting Your TV
Connect the DVD receiver to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD receiver to a VCR, TV/VCR combination,
or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted
as DVD videos are copy protected.
Using Video
Connect the VIDEO OUT to a set of VIDEO input on
your TV.
Use the supplied video cable (RCA), connecting the
yellow plug to the video output.
See the following page if you want to use a component or S Video cable for the video connection.
TV
Video cable
(Supplied)
Using S Video
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S Video input,
you can use this instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture.
• Use an S Video cable (supplied) to connect the S
VIDEO OUTPUT to an S Video input on your TV (or
monitor or AV receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same
mark on the plug before plugging in.
Using Component Video
You can use the component video output instead of the
standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV
(or other equipment).
This should give you the best quality picture from the
three types of video output available.
• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a
component video input on your TV, monitor or AV
receiver.
COMPONENT
YPBPR
VIDEO IN
Note:
Watching progressive scan video from the component
video outputs.
This player can output progressive scan video from the
component video output. Compared to interlace video,
progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning
rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free
image. To set up the player for use with a progressive
scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 70. When the
player is set to output progressive scan video, the
PRGSV indicator lights in the front panel display.
Important:
If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive,
you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case,
return the setting from “Progressive” to “Interlace” by
following the way described in Note on page 70.

Connecting External Devices—Continued
Enjoying Home Theater
The DVD receiver provides multi-channel playback with its theater dimensional feature, even under two front speaker
conditions.
Certainly, it can provide full 5.1ch playback in combination with an add-on subwoofer, center and surround speakers
off the shelf, so that you can enjoy more realistic, movie theater/concert hall-in-the-home sound effect.
With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Onkyo’s own DSP
surround listening modes.
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 (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 width of the wall, as shown.
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.
• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes
the sound to reach the listener is same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to
balance the volume level between speakers (see pages 56-57).

Connecting External Devices—Continued
Connection for Enjoying 5.1ch Playback
You can connect a center speaker and a left and a right surround speakers by adding on a power (main) amplifier.
In addition to this configuration, you can add on a subwoofer to enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound. (See page 23.)
Once you have completed the connection, make sure to configure the settings for speakers, described on page 56, so that
you can enjoy your favorite surround mode.

Additional information
Screen sizes and disc formatsSetting the TV system (Not North
DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect
ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally
4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “standard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 70) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”.
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can
use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch
options; see the instructions that came with your TV for
details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than
16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these
discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars
at the top and bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting
(page 70) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter
Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan),” depending on which you
prefer.
Set to “4:3 (Letter Box),” widescreen discs are shown
with black bars top and bottom.
Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan),” widescreen discs are shown
with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the
player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box
format regardless of the setting.
Note:
Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3 TV,
or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen TV, will
result in a distorted picture.
American model)
The default setting of this player is Auto, and unless you
notice that the picture is distorted when playing some
discs, you should leave it set to Auto. If you experience
picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to
match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The
table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible
with each setting (Auto, PAL and NTSC).

Problems may be caused by any component connected to this unit. Please check the table below, cross-referencing the instruction manuals for the other components.
Power
The power to the system is not turned on.
• Make sure that the power cable is plugged into the AC
outlet.
• Unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, wait for
10 seconds or more, then plug the cable in again.
The power is turned off during the operation.
• If the SLEEP indicator is lit on the display, the Sleep
timer is functioning. Cancel the Sleep timer.
(See page 64.)
• The DVD receiver enters Standby mode after the timer
playback or recording is complete. (See page 67.)
• If the STANDBY indicator is blinking on and off, the
built-in protection circuit is activated. Be careful not
to short the positive and negative wires.
Audio
The sound is not heard.
• Make sure the power cable is plugged into an AC outlet.
• Make sure that the speakers are connected correctly
and the speaker cables’ core wires touch only the
speaker connectors. (See page 18.)
• Check to make sure that the volume level is not set to
minimum. (See page 26.)
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected.
• Check to make sure the muting function is not
engaged.
If the MUTING indicator is flashing, the sound is
muted. Cancel the muting function. (See page 27.)

• Sound quality could be affected by a strong magnetic
field, such as a TV set. Locate such a device far from
the DVD receiver.
• If you have any devices that emit high intensity radio
waves near the DVD receiver, such as a cellular phone
in operation (calling), noise may be generated.
• The DVD receiver uses a rotating unit whose precision
instrument generates faint hissing sound while reading a disc during playing back or searching a track;
you may hear it in a silent environment.
Sound breaks off due to vibration.
• The DVD receiver is designed for use as stationary
type; place it in a location with limited influence of

dark.
• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System
copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes
etc., may appear on some sections of the picture
depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.
• Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connection of this device through a VCR or an AV selector
may prevent recording or cause picture problems. This
is not a malfunction.
No sound, or sound is distorted.

oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable
for damage.
Noticeable difference in DVD and CD volume.
Tuner
Noise is heard during broadcast, or too much white
noise is heard during an FM stereo broadcast.
You cannot tune in the broadcast station using the
Auto Preset function (for only FM stations).
Or, the FM ST indicator does not light up during FM
broadcast.
• Change the location of the antenna. (See page 43.)
• Locate the unit further from the TV or a computer.
• Cars or airplanes can create noisy interference.
• A broadcast radio signal may be weak if a concrete
wall obstructs the signal path.
• Try setting FM mode to Monaural. (See page 42.)
• Noise may be heard when you operate the remote con-
troller during AM reception.
• If nothing can improve the reception, install an outdoor antenna. (See page 17.)
If power outage occurs or the power plug is
disconnected:
• The clock data is lost. Set the clock and timers again.

• Make sure that the batteries have been installed in the
correct direction (polarity +/–). (See page 10.)
• Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)
• The distance between the remote controller and the
unit may be too great, or there may be an object
between them.
• The remote control sensor on the unit may be subjected to bright light (inverter fluorescent light or sunlight).
• The unit is placed behind the tinted windows of an
audio rack or entertainment center.
• This is due to differences in the audio format and is
not a malfunction.

Troubleshooting—Continued
Connection with External Devices
The interoperability with other external Onkyo device
is not available.
• Make sure that the cable and analog audio cables
(RCA) are connected correctly. (See pages 21-23.)
Connecting only an cable won’t work.
• Specify the source name in the display for the external
Onkyo device. (See page 28.)
No sound is heard from the connected device.
• Make sure that the optical digital cable is not bent over
or damaged.
• Set the digital output to PCM, because the DVD
receiver supports only PCM signals.
The turntable sounds still.
• Make sure if the turntable has built in phono equalizer.
• If the turntable has no phono equalizer built in, you
must provide one separately.
The turntable makes no sound.
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC transformer or an MC head amp.
Timer Function
Timer playback or recording does not work.
The Colors of the TV Picture Bleed
• Locate the speakers far from the TV.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by
unit’s malfunction.
Before you record important data, make sure that the
material will be recorded correctly.
This product uses a microcomputer to perform various
advanced functions. However, noise, radio interference, or static electricity could occasionally cause the
unit to malfunction. In this case, unplug the power
cable from the AC outlet, then plug it in again in five
seconds.
• The clock should be set correctly.
If the clock is not set, playback or recording does not
work. Make sure you program the current time.
(See page 62.)
• Timer operation is not activated if the power to the
unit is turned on before the timer On time. Be sure to
place the unit in Standby mode before timer operation
starts. (See page 67.)
• Programmed time may overlap with another timer. Be
sure to set multiple timers such that time ranges do not
overlap.
• If you try to set the Sleep timer or press TIMER during
timer operation, the current timer setting is cancelled.
• The timer operation uses the volume level that was set
before the unit was placed in Standby mode. Set an
appropriate volume level before you place the unit in
Standby mode. (See page 67.)
• Make sure that the cable and RCA/phono audio
cables are connected correctly.
• If you selected an external Onkyo component for the
timer operation, you must specify the source name.
Time display is not visible during Standby mode.
• Turn the current time display on while the unit is in
Standby mode. (See page 62.)
