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.

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.

Notes

• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can use either one to connect to the DVD Receiver. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

• Do not connect the Onkyo MD recorder, Hard Disk Recorder and cassette tape deck with the z cable at the same time. This may lead to unexpected operation.

• Connect the plugs securely.

• Be sure to connect to the z connectors using the z cable.

• The connections on pages 21 and 22 are needed even if z

connection is made.

• Do not connect the DVD Receiver’s z connector to any component other than an Onkyo product. It may cause malfunction.

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).

1 Switch the DVD Receiver into standby. 2 Hold down ¢ then press STANDBY/ON until the display

indicates the new setting to switch the TV system.

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.
