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 (AC 120V 60Hz or AC 230-240V 50Hz) written on the rear panel.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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.

Positioning Speakers

■ Standard speaker placement of the speakers system (standard speaker placement of the SPEAKERS A system for North American and South American model)

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 properly 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. 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.

■ For North American and South American models

Two speaker systems (FRONT SPEAKERS A and FRONT SPEAKERS B) can be connected to the DVD Receiver. For example, you can place the FRONT SPEAKERS A system in the main room, and the FRONT SPEAKERS B system in a second room.

The configuration of the FRONT SPEAKERS A system

The FRONT 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 FRONT SPEAKERS B system

The FRONT SPEAKERS B system consists of the front left and right speakers. You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.

Adjusting the position of the FM indoor antenna (aerial)

While listening to an FM program (see page 38), extend the antenna (aerial) and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received, then secure the antenna (aerial) with push pins in the position with the least distortion.

Adjusting the position of the AM indoor antenna (aerial)

While listening to an AM program (see page 38), set the antenna (aerial) in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power cords (mains leads).

Connecting an AM Outdoor Antenna (Aerial)

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

Note

To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install an outdoor antenna (aerial).

Notes

• Install the antenna (aerial) well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received.

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

• It is dangerous to put the antenna (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 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install

the outdoor antenna (aerial).

Directional Iinkage

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

Turning on the DVD Receiver

Before connecting

• Make sure that all the connections from pages 15 to 25 are complete (the connection to the TV is required).

• Turning on the DVD Receiver may cause a momentary power surge, which might interfere with other electrical equipment such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet on a different circuit.

(European and some Asian models)

• The DVD Receiver is shipped with the main power (POWER) switch in the on position (_ ON). When the power cord is plugged in for the first time, the DVD Receiver will automatically enter the standby state (same condition after step 2 below).

Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

(Other than European and some Asian models)

The DVD Receiver enters the standby mode and the STANDBY indicator lights up.

(European and some Asian models only) Press POWER to switch on the main power to put the DVD Receiver in the standby mode.

The STANDBY indicator lights up.

• The buttons on the remote controller do not operate if the POWER switch is set to OFF.

• To switch off the main power, press POWER again.

Press STANDBY/ON on the DVD Receiver or ON on the remote controller to turn on the DVD Receiver.

The light and display on the DVD Receiver’s front panel light. At the same time, the STANDBY indicator goes off.

• To put the DVD Receiver in the standby mode, press STANDBY/ON on the DVD Receiver, or STANDBY on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Receiver in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction.

• While in the STANDBY mode, the DVD Receiver can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press POWER on the DVD Receiver to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Receiver.

• Setting the STANDBY button to standby does not shut off the power completely.

■ Setting the TV System (Other than North American model)

The default setting of the DVD Receiver 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).

The TV system changes as follows: AUTO = NTSC NTSC = PA L PAL = AUTO Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.

Setting Up the DVD Receiver

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD Receiver ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD Receiver to enjoy DVDs. The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

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 pages 29-33). The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See “Connecting Speakers” on pages 18, 19 and “Positioning Speakers” on page 20. Following are the sound systems the DVD Receiver can reproduce.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround and DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

Recommended speaker setup

Center Speaker

Left front speaker

Subwoofer

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

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

DVD videos that have the mark are recorded using this system.

To playback DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound from connected equipment, you must make the digital connection in addition to the above speaker configuration.

DTS Surround

DVD videos and audio CDs that have the mark are recorded using this system.

To playback DTS Surround sound from connected equipment such as an LD player, you must make the digital connection 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 a 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 a DTS Surround source in fast reverse or fast forward, pause, or skip a chapter or track, 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 LD 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 DVD Receiver cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround

This is a 5-channel surround system of a new generation, casting a bridge between the previous 4-channel (Left/Right Front, Center and monaural surround channels) Pro Logic surround and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround. Dolby Pro Logic II provides the Movie mode optimized for viewing movies and the Music mode optimized for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the surround channel, which has been monaural and based on narrow band, is reproduced in stereo so that the feeling of movement in the played movies is more enhanced. In the Music mode, the surround channel reproduces natural sound field even with 2-channel music sources. The Movie mode allows you to enjoy VHS and DVD software carrying the broadcast programs. The Music mode allows you to enjoy stereo music from CD, etc.

Onkyo’s original Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes

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

All Ch St (All Channel Stereo)

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

Theater-Dimensional (T-D)* mode

The ideal home theater is realized by the multichannel sound reproduction with the complete speaker configuration and speaker positioning described on page 20. However, sometimes it is difficult to meet all those conditions. In reality, you may only have front speakers, or not be able to place the surround speakers in position.

Even if your speaker system is not complete, you can enjoy the multichannel surround sound by using the TheaterDimensional mode. Theater-Dimensional mode sets the output channels to generate the most suitable virtual surround reproduction according to the number of the speaker channels set in “Speaker Setup” on page 29 or 31.

The importance of the speaker setup

Calibrating each speaker’s sound pressure is essential for home theater sound reproduction. The same thing can be said for virtual surround sound reproduction. Especially level matching and the time alignment of the two speakers that reproduce virtual surround signals becomes an even more important factor than with normal multichannel reproduction.

For the DVD Receiver, the calibration for the multichannel reproduction (see speaker distance setting on page 32 and test tone adjustment on page 33) provides the most appropriate level matching.

Notes

• For the input sources which include the surround channel signals like the multichannel DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS surround sounds, the virtual processing is applied to those surround channel signals.

• For the 2 channel input sources, the surround channel elements are automatically extracted with the DOLBY PRO LOGIC processing before the virtual processing is applied.

• For the monaural or front 3 channel stereo sources, the virtual surround effect does not work since those input sources do not include the surround channel signals.

* Theater-Dimensional is a virtual surround technology developed

by Onkyo. This technology is approved by Dolby Laboratories for the virtual surround processing of the Virtual Dolby Digital and Virtual Dolby Surround products.

The Input Sources and Available Listening Modes

The available listening modes varies depending on the sound type of the input source. The table below shows the correlation between the input source types and listening modes. (× marked listening modes can be chosen with a particular type of a source.)

Enjoying the Sound Effects

Choosing Theater-Dimensional Mode

Theater-Dimensional mode is the technology which controls the characteristics of the sounds reaching the listener’s left and right ears, therefore, there is a sweet spot where you can best experience the Theater-Dimensional effects. You need to adjust the location of the sweet spot and these other factors for the best possible Theater-Dimensional effect.

Listening angle

(“Lisng. Angle” appears in the display.)

Left speaker

The longer the distance between the two speakers is, the wider the angle is.

Listening

angle

40°

20°

Right speaker

Virtual Surround Level

(“V. Surr Level” appears in the display.)

The listening angle is the angle at the listening position where the two lines from the left and right speakers meet.

You need to adjust the listening angle in the following cases:

• If you set “Speaker 2ch” or “Speaker 3ch” in “Speaker Setup” on pages 29 and 30. Consider the listening angle as being formed from the left and right

front speakers since the

virtual surround signals are output from the front speakers.

• If you cannot place the surround speakers in the correct position. – Place each surround speaker on top of or on the outer side of each front speaker of the

same side.

– Consider the listening angle as being formed from the left and right

surround speakers since

the virtual surround signals are output from the surround speakers.

Set “Lisng. Angle” to one of the following settings, which you feel is most effective (the listening angles in parentheses are the ideal degrees):

• Normal (30°)

• Wide (40°)

• Narrow (20°)

This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. Set “V. Surr Level” to one of the following 7 values, which you feel is most effective:

–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, and, 3

Dialog mode

(“Dialog Mode” appears in the display.)

The dialog in the film may sound less clear because of the music or other sounds depending on the movie or scene.

In such a case, set “Normal” to “Enhance.” (The factory setting is “Normal” which is the normal mode.)

Notes

• This function emphasizes the dialog in the center channel since the dialog sound, in most films, is

allocated to the center channel. Therefore, if the dialog is not in the center channel, the sound will not be enhanced.

• Depending on the type of source, this mode is not very effective.

■ Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD. The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format.

Connecting to a progressive scancompatible TV (North American model)

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free images. Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor. Make changes to the [Component Video] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu.

Select Interlace or Progressive output Component Video

Settings: Interlace (Factory Setting)

Tip

If this DVD Receiver is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3. If your TV can not be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this DVD Receiver to [Interlace] or [Auto progressive]. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV’s aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that came with your TV). When set to [Auto progressive], you may see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the main feature, for example.

Notes

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the [Component Video] menu.

• (Other than North American model) The DVD Receiver is fixed to [Interlace] setting. You cannot choose other settings.

■ Setting the Video Output Format for the AV CONNECTOR (European models)

When connections are made to the AV CONNECTOR jack on the player via a SCART cable, it is possible to select the video format that is compatible with your TV or monitor. Select [Video] to have a composite video signal output, [S-Video] to have an S-video signal output, and [RGB] to have an RGB signal output. For more information on which format is most appropriate, refer to the instructions supplied with your TV or monitor. Make changes to the [Video Out] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu.

■ Switching the S-Video Output

You can switch the kind of S-Video signal output from the SVideo outputs. If you connected your TV with an S-Video cord, in rare cases the TV picture may appear stretched. In this case switch the output from [S2] to [S1]. Make changes in the [S-Video Out] in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 65).

■ Turning the Screen Saver On and Off

As a protective function against residual images on the TV screen or monitor, a phenomenon referred to as “screen burn”, the screen saver appears when the same screen has been displayed for a length of time. By default, the screen saver is turned on. However, the screen saver function can be turned on and off at your discretion. Make changes to the [Screen Saver] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 65).

Resetting the DVD Receiver to System Settings

To reset the DVD player section of this unit, press and hold 7 on the front panel when pressing STANDBY/ON to turn the unit from standby to on .

All program memory, saved settings from functions such as Video Memory are cleared, TV System is reset to AUTO and all Setup screen menus are returned to factory settings.

Recording Using the Connected Equipment

You can record according to the following using the connected recording equipment:

• Sound/picture of discs played back by the DVD Receiver,

• Sound of FM/AM programs, and

• Sound/picture of the connected source.

Basic Recording Procedure

Set the recording equipment (MD recorder, DAT, Cassette tape deck, VCR, DVD recorder, CD recorder, etc.) to recording pause.

Select the input source to be recorded, then set it to play pause.

• To play and pause a DVD video, Video CD, or audio CD, see page 34.

• To select an FM/AM program, see page

38.

• To select a connected source, see page

40.

Refer to the manuals of the connected source equipment for instructions on how to play and pause.

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

Start playback of the selected source in step 2.

Note

Many discs and sources are copy protected. Copy protected sources are impossible to record.

■ 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 VIDEO 1 DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) connector, and

• The VIDEO 2 DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) connector.

The digital output connector is the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPT) 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.

Notes

• If you select another input source during recording, the selected source will be recorded.

• Sound effects described on pages 44 to 50 do not affect the recorded sounds.

■ Recording the Picture and Sound From Different Sources at the Same Time

The picture from the playing VIDEO 2/CDR/PC source is output through the VIDEO OUT jacks when you select any audio source (TAPE/MD, FM, or AM) or TV/LINE.

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

■ Analog recording from a DVD Video 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.

Although the speakers can reproduce DTS Surround sounds, DTS signals are not output to the analog output jacks.

DVD

Controlling other components connected to the DVD Receiver

The remote controller has two learning functions. One is entering the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre-programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers.

Learning a pre-programming code

By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-484M remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.

Find the 3-digit number for the brand name of the component that you want to operate in the table on the next page.

Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e. DVD, satellite tuner, or television).

Caution

With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command separately.

Press the button that you programmed and check if the system operates correctly.

• If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3 and repeat the steps above.

• If it still does not operate properly, then program the commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-484M remote controller.

While holding down the MODE button on the RC-484M that you want to program, press the +10 button, and then release both buttons.

The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is pressed and turns off when the +10 button is pressed. Wait until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.

Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.

Pre-programmong codes

Note:

If more than one code is given in the table, try the code one by one until you reach the code for your component (i.e. if the first code does not work, then try the next).

SEND/LEARN indicator

MODE buttons

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller

When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-484M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-484M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-484M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the six MODE buttons (DVD, CDR, TAPE/MD/HD, AUDIO, VCR, TV). Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the remote controller, press the ENTER button and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

Buttons that cannot be programmed.

ENTER

Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.

You may select any button but the eight ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again.

If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

Controlling other components connected to the DVD Receiver

Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator on the remote controller flashes twice.

After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller).

Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming.

Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly.

Notes:

• The remote controller codes for Onkyo CD player, MD player, cassette tape deck or HD Recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 83).

• The remote controller has 300 memory slots (6 modes × 50 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others.

• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.

• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.

• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different MODE button.

• When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and programming for that button will be overwritten.

• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.

• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.

• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product.

• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.

See page 83 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Erasing the programmed command from one button

You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

Note

If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.

Press and hold down the desired MODE button for the command, press the ENTER button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase.

When you press the button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.

Notes

• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.

• If you perform an invalid operation during erasing, the SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.

• If many commands have been programmed to the MODE button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.

Press and hold down the desired MODE button, press the ENTER button twice, and then release both buttons.

When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp flashes twice slowly and then lights again.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms

Too much noise is heard or sound is interrupted occasionally. (The FM ST 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.

Recording

The buttons on the DVD Receiver operate but the buttons on the remote controller do not operate.

Remote controller

Causes

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

• The position or direction of the FM antenna (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 reflected by buildings or mountains (diffraction waves) interfere with each other causing multi pass distortion.)

• The power cord (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.

• No batteries are inserted in the remote controller.

• The batteries are worn out.

• The remote controller is not pointed at the

remote sensor of the DVD Receiver.

• The remote controller is too far from the DVD Receiver.

• Any wrong MODE button is pressed.

Remedies

• Switch the frequency receiving mode to mono.

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

• Connect an FM outdoor antenna (aerial). Try to use an antenna (aerial) with more elements. (For installation of the outdoor antenna (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.

• Insert new batteries.

• Replace with new batteries.

• Point the remote controller at the remote

sensor of the DVD Receiver.

• Operate the remote controller within 5 m (16 feet).

• Press the appropriate MODE button.

Caution:

A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.

Use screws with a head diameter of 3/8 inch or less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch (or 4 mm) or less (No. 8 or smaller). With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

(We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)

Using the Optional Speaker Stands

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets

Threaded inserts for 1/4-inch machine screws are provided on the rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commercially available speaker mounts and brackets. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.

Use this hole if mounting vertically

Use this hole if mounting horizontally

Note:

The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker’s threaded insert should be between 1/5 and 3/8 of an inch long.

Mount or bracket

Optional Onkyo speaker stands (AS-240) are available for the front left and right and surround left and right speakers. To attach a speaker to a stand, align the mounting holes in the stand with those on the speaker’s rear panel, and secure by using four of the supplied ﬁxing screws.

Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•Turn off your amp before making any connections.

• The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8 Ω . Use only an amp that supports this impedance.

•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Use the cables to connect each speaker’s

input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your amp.

To make a connection, while pressing the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

The HTP-240/SKS-HT240’s great sound means that 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.

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 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.

Left

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.

Right

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.

1/3 room length

Corner

Surround back speaker (SKS-HT240 only)

This speaker further enhances the realism of surround sound and improves sound localization behind the listener. The surround-back speaker should be installed behind the listener also at 2–3 ft. (60–100 cm) above ear level. Make sure that the listening position is within the range of the speaker.

HTP-240.fm Page 10 Wednesday, December 3, 2003 9:30 AM

Adjustment

Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

Caring for Your Speakers

Placement

• The speaker cabinets are made out of aluminum and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidiﬁer, bathroom, or kitchen.

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

• As explained in this manual, mount the speakers on a wall, on the supplied bases, or on the optional stands, otherwise, they may fall, causing personal injury or damage to the speakers.

• Speakers with bases should only be placed on sturdy, ﬂat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the HTP-240/SKS-HT240 speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic ﬁeld, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

The HTP-240/SKS-HT240 speakers contain strong magnets, so do not put magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to them. If you do, the object may be attracted to the magnets, causing personal injury or damage to a speaker cone.

Frequency

Operating Precautions

The HTP-240/SKS-HT240 speakers can handle the speciﬁed input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the speciﬁed rating, excessive current may ﬂow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on. Ampliﬁer oscillation. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your ampliﬁer before connecting or disconnecting cables.) Microphone feedback.
