• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD Receiver. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD Receiver for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

- When you bring the DVD Receiver directly from a cold place to a warm place.

- When you use the DVD Receiver 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 DVD Receiver in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

- When you use the DVD Receiver in a humid place.

• Do not use the DVD Receiver when moisture condensation may occur . If you use the DVD Receiver in such a situation, it may damage discs

Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up 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 back-up 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.

Positioning Speakers

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.

Standard speaker placement

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 properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.

Front

The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.

Surround

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

Subwoofer

Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it wherever it is convenient.

Refer to the speakers’ instruction manual for more details.

Notes

• Keep the aerial away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).

• It is dangerous to put the aerial 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 19 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install the outdoor aerial.

Directional Iinkage

Do not use the same aerial 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) aerial, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting an AM Outdoor Aerial

The outdoor aerial will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above a window or outside. Leave the supplied AM indoor aerial connected.

Enjoying the Sound Effects

The surround sound of the DVD Receiver enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. Before using any sound effect, make sure the Speaker Setup configurations have been set (see page 18). The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See "Connecting Speakers" on page 12 and "Positioning Speakers" on page 13. Following are the sound systems the DVD Receiver can reproduce.

DOLBY DIGIT AL Surround and DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

Minimum required speaker system

Center Speaker

Left front speaker

This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to individually play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

DVD videos that have the this system.

DIGITAL

DTS Surround

DVD videos, video discs, and CDs that have the mar ks are recorded using this system.

To playback DTS Surround sound with the connected equipment such as a video disc player, the digital connection is a must in addition to the above speaker configuration.

Notes on DTS Surround

• If you play a DTS Surround encoded disc with the DVD Receiver, or a DTS encoded disc using the digitally connected player, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder of the DVD Receiver recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.

• If you play in fast reverse or fast forward, pause, or skip a chapter or track, while playing a DTS Surround source, noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.

• Even when playback of the DTS Surround source stops and the DTS signal transmission ends, the DVD Receiver remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This is to prevent noise when you pause, fast forward, fast reverse, or skip a chapter or track of the playback source. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to a PCM (2 channel digital stereo) signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In such a case, stop playback for about three seconds, then resume playback.

• Some CD players (if connected to the DVD Receiver) and video disc players may be unable to play DTS Surround sources correctly even if you connect the player to the DVD Receiver digitally. In such a case, the digital signals (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.) processed by the player cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.

Right front speaker

Right surround speakerLeft surround speaker

marks are recorded using

DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround

This surround format consists of four channels (left and right front, center, and monaural surround channel) and emphasizes the center channel. This format is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.

VHS, VHS Hi-Fi, video disc, and DVD videos that have the

marks are recorded using this system.

Onkyo's original sound effects –DSP (Digital Signal Processor)

The DVD Receiver offers the following special Onkyo sound effects for sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS sounds.

ORCHESTRA

This mode is suitable for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate a natural reverberation as created in a large hall.

UNPLUGGED

This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the acoustics in front of the stage.

STUDIO-MIX

This mode is suitable for rock and popular music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic image will make you feel as if you are in a club.

TV LOGIC

This mode offers a realistic acoustics of a TV program being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of conversation.

5CH STEREO

This mode is useful for background music. The front and surround channels will create a stereo image.

Selecting the Sound Effect

DIGITAL

The DVD Receiver will automatically detect the sound system when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround (

), DTS Surround ( ), or

PCM DIGITAL (2 channel digital stereo) is played back. The sound system appears in the DVD Receiver's display.

Lights up when PCM DIGITAL (2 channel digital stereo) sound is reproduced.

Lights up when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound is reproduced.

Lights up when DTS Surround sound is reproduced.

Changing the output sound signal format of the DVD video/audio CD

You can change the format of the sound signal being output via the speakers and output jacks using the menu (see page 40). This means, for example, even if DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound is played by the DVD Receiver, you can output sound to the speakers in the 48 kHz/16 bit format, which enables you to use the DSP sound effects below instead of DOLBY DIGITAL Surround.

Using Onkyo's original sound effects – DSP (Digital Signal Processor) selection

While playing back sources other than DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS Surround sounds, you can select the desired DSP mode.

Using the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT Function

• The LATE NIGHT function operates when the sound is DOLBY DIGITAL Surround.

If you play a movie at low volume at night, set this function to "ON" to narrow the dynamic range of the sound and make it easier to hear.

• The FRONT EFFECT function operates with the DSP effects.

If you use one of the DSP sound effects with a source containing acoustic reverberation, the sound may become unclear because of too much reverberation. In such case, set this function to “ON.” The DSP sound effect will not add additional reverberation to the sound output to the three front speakers.

DVD Receiver

Press LATE NIGHT.

The current setting appears in the DVD’s display.

• When the button is pressed while DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound is being reproduced

“L-NIGHT ON” or “L-NIGHT OFF” appears.

• When the button is pressed while one of the DSP sound effects is being used

“FRONT EFFECT ON” or “FRONT EFFECT OFF” appears.

Each press of the button switches the setting to “ON” or “OFF.”

Note

The LATE NIGHT effect is determined by each DOLBY DIGITAL sound source. Some sounds may produce little or no effect.

Using the Re-EQ Function

This function is availab le only with DOLBY DIGITAL Surround, DTS Surround, and DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround. Re-Equalization takes the edginess or "brightness" out of your home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed for theaters is too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

Changing the Sound Signal Con v ersion Method

The reproduced disc sound will be output in the most suitable format automatically through the connected speakers and output connector/jacks on the DVD Receiver when “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu is set to “Bitstream” (see page 50). However, you may need to convert the sound format in different ways depending on your purpose and preference.

For example, when you wish to:

• Listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/high-quantization (bit) format source in its original sound quality (see below), or

• Record the DVD video sound reproduced in the DOLBY DIGITAL format using recording equipment such as an MD recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector on the DVD Receiver (see next page).

This function enables you to temporarily change the sound signal conversion method which has been selected automatically according to the automatic setting in the setting menu (see pages 44 and 50).

To Listen to a High-Frequency/HighQuantization Format Source in its Original Sound Quality – 96k Sound

The high frequency/high quantization sound signals below are converted into 48 kHz/16 bit sound signals and sent to the speakers when the “Audio Out Select” (sound signal conversion method) is set to the standard setting, “Bitstream.”

High frequency/high quantization signals

• 48 kHz/24 bit

• 96 kHz/16 bit

• 96 kHz/20 bit

• 96 kHz/24 bit To listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/hight-quantization (bit)

format sounds in their original sound quality, follow the steps below.

Change the sound signal conver sion method to “96k Sound” following the steps on the left.

As you see a in the table titled “Sound from the speakers” on the opposite page, the DVD videos recorded in 48 kHz/24 bit, 96 kHz/16 bit, 96 kHz/20 bit, and 96 kHz/ 24 bit are reproduced through the speakers at the same kHz and bit rate respectively.

Notes

• The “Audio Out Select” setting in the setting menu (see page 50) is

for automatic selection of the sound conversion method when the disc is inserted. Therefore, the selection in this section will not change the setting of “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu.

• When you turn on the DVD Receiver or replace a disc, the DVD

Receiver returns to the automatic setting in the setting menu (See page 44.)

Referring to c in the table below, the DOLBY DIGITAL Surround format will be converted into the 48 kHz/16 bit format which is recordable.

Changing the MPEG2 Sound Format to the Analog Signals for Recording

Digital recording of MPEG2 sounds is impossible regardless of the sound signal conversion methods, though, analog recording of MPEG2 is possible if you change the sound signal conversion method.

To record MPEG2 sounds from the analog output jacks, change the sound signal conversion method to “96k Sound” or “PCM” following the steps in “Changing the Sound Signal Conversion Method Temporarily” on the opposite page.

Referring to i in the table below, the MPEG2 for mat will be conver ted into the recordable analog signals using the 48 kHz/16 bit format, whereas the MPEG2 sounds are not output to the analog output jacks when the sound signal conversion method is “Bitstream” (h in the table below).

The sound signal conversion method is selected from among the three listed below. (Note that the three items are sound signal conversion methods, not the sound signal format the sound signals are converted into.)

When “Audio Out Select” is set to “Bitstream,” the sound is output in the most suitable format automatically through the speakers and output connector/ jacks. Therefore, although you can change the sound signal conversion method using the menu, leaving the “Audio Out Select” setting to “Bitstream” and changing the method according your purpose temporarily as described on page 40 is recommended.

Release the recording pause set in step 1 to start recording.

Start playback of the selected source in step 2.

Recording the Picture and Sound From

Different Sources at the Same Time

Digital recording from a DVD video played by the DVD Receiver

DVD

The picture from the VIDEO 2 source continues to be output through the VIDEO OUT jacks even if you change to another audio source (TAPE/MD, FM, or AM) or TV.

Therefore if you select VIDEO 2 first, then select TAPE/MD, FM, AM, or TV, you can record the picture from the VIDEO 2 source and the sound from the TAPE/MD, FM, AM, or TV at the same time, using the recording equipment connected to the VIDEO 1 jacks.

Digital recording from the source connected to the digital input connectors to the digital recording equipment connected to the digital output connector

The digital input connectors are as follows:

• The DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL VIDEO 1 connector, and

• The DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL VIDEO 2 connector. The digital output connector is the DIGITAL OUTPUT

OPTICAL connector. Recording digital sound signals from sources connected to the

digital input connectors using digital recording equipment connected to the digital output is possible unless:

• The recording is against SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) rules (for details of SCMS rules, refer to the manual of the digital recording equipment),

• The digital signals are in bitstream format (the recordable digital signal format is PCM –– two channel digital stereo sound signals), or

• The sampling frequency is out of the recordable range of the recording equipment (for recordable sampling frequency, refer to the manual of the digital recording equipment). Note that the maximum signal frequency output from the DVD Receiver is 48 kHz.

The digital sound signals are output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector in the most suitable format when the sound signal conversion method is set to “Bitstream” (see page 40). However, if the conversion method is set to “Bitstream” or “96k Sound” when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound is reproduced, the signals will be output in the bitstream format from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector as in b in the table on page 41. The bitstream signals are unrecordable. Therefore, to record the sounds recorded in the DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound format, you need to change the conversion method to “PCM.” Once the conversion method is changed to “PCM,” the DOLBY DIGITAL sound signals are converted into the 2 channel 48 kHz/16 bit PCM format as in c in the same table mentioned above.

Digital recording of MPEG2 sounds is impossible regardless of the sound signal conversion methods. (Analog recording is possible. See on the left.)

DTS Surround sound is unrecordable from both the digital output connector and analog output jacks regardless of the sound signal conversion methods.

Notes

• If the conversion method is set to “PCM,” the DTS Surround sounds of a DVD video will not be reproduced from the speakers nor output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector. See f in the tables on page 41.

• If the sound signal conversion method is set to “96k Sound,” the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector will output no signals depending on the frequency and quantization as in d in the tables on page 41. To digitally record high frequency PCM sound signals, the conversion method must be set to “Bitstream” or “PCM,” so that the frequency/quantization are converted to the 48 kHz/16 bit format which is recordable.

Analog recording from a DVD Video

DVD

played using the DVD Receiver

The digital sound signals are converted to analog signals and output to the analog output jacks unless the DVD video is recorded in the DTS Surround and MPEG2 systems.

MPEG2 sounds can be recorded by changing the sound signal conversion method to “96k Sound” or “PCM.” For details, see page 41.

Although the speakers can reproduce DTS Surround sounds, DTS signals are not output to the analog output jacks. See e in the tables on page 41.

Note

If the sound signal conversion method is set to “96k Sound,” reproduced PCM signals may not be output from the digital output connector (DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL) depending on the frequency and quantization. See also the second note in “Digital recording from a DVD video played by the DVD Receiver” below.

Analog and Digital recording from an audio CD played using the DVD Receiver

PCM sound signals are output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector, and converted to analog signals and output to the analog output jacks regardless of the conversion method.

DTS Surround sound is unrecordable. Because DTS Surround sound signals of an audio CD are output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector in the bitstream format and no signal will be output to the analog output jacks regardless of the conversion method. For details, see the table on page 41.

Programming the Remote Controller

Programming is carried out by copying the signal patterns of the TV’s remote control buttons.

Before programming the remote controller

• Use new batteries for the remote controller and the TV’s remote control. Using old batteries may result in a failure in programming or cause the programmed remote controller buttons to operate improperly.

• The remote controller and most of other remote controls transmit infrared rays, however, if the other remote control uses another method, programming is impossible.

• Although six buttons are prepared for operating the TV, the number of programmable buttons varies depending on the manufacturer and type of the other remote control.

• Turn off both the DVD Receiver and TV to prevent the units from undesired operation during programming.

• The remote control buttons on some TVs may have more than one function; however, only one function can be programmed per button.

• Refer also to the TV’s instruction manual for details on its remote control operation and other information.

Note

The programmed buttons of the DVD Receiver's remote controller may lose their data if the batteries become weak or dead, or due to other causes. In such a case, you need to repeat programming from the beginning using the TV's remote control. Therefore, keep the TV's remote control in a safe place even if it is not in use.

DVD RECEIVER

LEVEL SETUP

Set the DVD RECEIVER/LEVEL SETUP/TV switch to TV.

One of the TV’s remote control buttons

While the SENDING/LEARNED indicator is lit, press the desired TV’s remote control button whose function you wish to copy.

If the function is successfully copied, the SENDING/LEARNED indicator goes off. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to program other programmable buttons.

Note

If programming has failed because the data capacity of the programmable button has been exceeded or other reasons, the indicator flashes for five seconds.

If the programmed buttons do not operate properly

• If the SENDING/LEARNED indicator doesn’t light up when you press one of the programmed buttons, reprogram the button.

• If the remote controller operates only at a short distance or there is a slow response from the TV, check the batteries. If the batteries are not weak, the pressed button is not properly programmed. Reprogram the button.

• If the remote controller remains without batteries for 30 minutes or more, the programmed data will be erased. In such a case, install new batteries, then reprogram the buttons.

Erasing all the programmed functions

1 Press MEMORY. 2 Within 5 seconds, press and hold POWER ON, then

press and hold MEMORY at the same time until the SENDING/LEARNED indicator goes off.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Symptoms

Too much noise is heard or sound is interrupted occasionally. (“STEREO” indicator does not light steadily.)

Sound is distorted or sound volume decreases.

Tuner

Sound is excessively distorted.

No preset channels are selected.

Sound is reproduced from the speakers but not recorded.

Causes

• FM stereo waves may produce a hiss noise when a certain level is reached.

• The position or direction of the FM aerial is incorrect.

• The station is too weak.

• The radio wave is distorted.

• Cars are running or airplanes are flying near the house.

• There is a tall building or a mountain nearby. [The waves transmitted from the transmission center (direct waves) and the waved diffracted by buildings or mountains (diffraction waves) interfere with each other causing multi pass distortion.]

• The mains lead is unplugged, or the main power is switched off, for a long time.

• The sound system you are trying to record is DTS Surround.

• A wrong sound signal conversion method is selected.

Remedies

• Switch the frequency receiving mode to mono.

• Lower the treble level.

• Adjust the position, height, and direction of the FM aerial.

• Connect an outdoor FM aerial. Try to use an aerial with more elements. (For installation of the outdoor aerial, consult your nearest dealer as it requires special skills and experience.)

– –

–

• The preset data in memory is lost. Preset the radio stations again.

• DTS Surround sound is unable to be recorded regardless of the sound signal conversion method.

• Check the current sound signal conversion method and select the right one for recording.
