Precautions

1.Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)

Regional restriction codes are built into DVD players and DVD videos for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD Receiver does not match one of the regional codes on the DVD video, playback is not possible.

The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD

Receiver. (e.g. 3 for Region 3)

2.About This Manual

This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the DVD

Receiver. Some DVD videos do not support the full potential of the

DVD technology. Your DVD Receiver may therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs.

A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Receiver or the disc.

3.Warranty Claim

You can find the serial number on the rear panel of the unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.

4.Recording Copyright

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

5.AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service center.

6.Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ

THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage

(AC220-230V 50/60Hz or AC120V 60Hz) written on the rear panel.

7.Do not touch the unit with wet hands

Do not handle the unit or power cord (mains lead) when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

8.Location of the unit

•Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.

Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

•Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as the unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

•Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

•Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

•When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

9.Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

10.Notes on Handling

•When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

•Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the unit.

Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

•The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

•When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

•If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit occasionally.

11.To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

12.Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

•What is moisture condensation?

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

•Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

–When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place.

–When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

–In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

–When you use the unit in a humid place.

•Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord (mains lead) of the unit to the wall outlet (the mains), turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet (the mains) and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents of 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 backups system. The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the time the unit has been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a very humid climate.

zConnection for the Onkyo CassetteTape Deck

The supplied remote controller has the following three extended functions in addition to operating the DVD Receiver:

•First, operating the TV (see page 31),

•Second, operating the Onkyo MD recorder (no zconnection is needed) (see page 31), and

•Third, operating the zconnected Onkyo cassette tape deck through the DVD Receiver (see page 31).

To use the third function, you need to make the zconnection between the cassette tape deck and the DVD Receiver. The z cable to make the zconnection is supplied with the cassette tape deck.

If you start playing back the cassette tape deck after making the zconnection, the DVD Receiver automatically changes its input source to the cassette tape deck –– Direct Change function.

Positioning Speakers

Incomplete

Insert completely

Two speaker systems (SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B) can be connected to the DVD Receiver.

The SPEAKERS A system is to be placed in the main room, and the SPEAKERS B system is to be placed in a second room.

The configuration of the SPEAKERS A system

The SPEAKERS A system consists of the front left, center, and right speakers, surround left and right speakers, and subwoofer.

You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround.

The configuration of the SPEAKERS B system

The SPEAKERS B system consists of the front left and right speakers.

You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.

Standard speaker placement of the SPEAKERS A system

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.

If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.

Front

The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.

The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level.

Surround

The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle.

Subwoofer

Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds.

			TV
Front		Sub-	Front	Front
left	er	woofer	Center	right
			Speaker	Speaker

The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.

Refer to the speakers’ instruction manuals for details.

Connecting Speakers

Before connecting

•Refer also to the instruction manuals of the speakers.

•This DVD Receiver is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality when speakers with the impedances specified below are connected.

Please check the following information and choose speakers with appropriate impedances for the connections.

Front speakers: 6 ohms min. per speaker Center speaker: 6 ohms min.

Surround Speakers : 6 ohms min. per speaker

•Strip 10 mm from the end of each cord, then twist the exposed wires tightly.
