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.
Optical Digital Output
The DV-SP506’s optical digital connector has a shuttertype cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted,
and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the
way.
Caution:
plug straight when inserting and removing.

•To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
Using HDMI to Connect an AV Receiver or HDTV
What is HDMI?
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new
connection format that can carry uncompressed, standard or high definition digital video and digital audio.
Until now, several separate video and audio cables have
been required to connect AV components together. With
HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve
the best picture and audio quality.
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires
an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DV-SP506 supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an
HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component
must also support it. Note that this may not work with
some DVI components.
RIHD (CEC)
The DV-SP506 supports RIHD (Remote Interactive over
HDMI), which is Onkyo’s implementation of CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control), which allows integrated system control over HDMI and is part of the
HDMI standard. In addition to Onkyo AV components, it
allows interoperability with CEC-compatible AV components and TVs made by other manufacturers.
To use RIHD, make sure that CEC is turned on on your
other components (e.g., TV, AV receiver).
Using HDMI
Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the
DV-SP506’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV
receiver. Alternatively, you can connect the DV-SP506
directly to the HDMI input on your TV.
Notes:
• The DV-SP506 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), a protection system for
digital video. HDMI components that you connect to
the DV-SP506 must also support HDCP.
•Even if you connect a component that does not support
HDCP to the DV-SP506, there will be no picture or
sound.
• The DV-SP506 supports High-Definition Multimedia
Interface Specification Information Version 1.2a.

Audio Formats
The DV-SP506’s HDMI OUT supports the following
audio formats:
• Multichannel PCM (192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz,
88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz)
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
• DSD
If your HDMI TV or projector doesn’t support Dolby
Digital or DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital
audio in those formats. In this case, set the Digital Audio
Out setting to PCM (see page 51).
If your TV doesn’t support digital audio at higher sampling rates, set the Linear PCM Out setting to Down
Sample On so that it’s down sampled to below 48 kHz
(see page 52).
Choosing a Connection Method
To enjoy movies and music, you need to make video and audio connections from the DV-SP506 to your AV receiver or
TV. The DV-SP506 supports various video and audio connection formats and can be connected in various ways. Use
the chart below to help you choose the most suitable connection method for your system.
DV-SP506 settings can be changed by using the onscreen setup menus that appear on your TV’s screen. Even if you
intend to only play music discs, we recommend that you connect the DV-SP506 to your TV so you can use these
onscreen setup menus.
When you’ve completed all of the connections, you may need to change a few settings on the DV-SP506 to suit your
other components or personal preferences (see page 30).

Using SCART (European model only)
If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a
SCART cable to connect the DV-SP506 to your TV. This
type of connection carries both the sound and the picture,
so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT
L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
• Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV
CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.
AV CO NNECTOR

SCART
This connector can output composite video, S-Video, or
RGB video. The default setting is composite, which
should work with all TVs. Consult the manual that came
with your TV to see if you can use one of the higher quality settings. See page 51 for how to change the video output.

Plug the supplied power cord into
the AC INLET and then into the
power outlet on the wall.
• Do not use a power cord other than the
one supplied with the DV-SP506. The
power cord supplied is designed for
use with the DV-SP506 and should not
be used with any other device.
•Never have the power cord disconnected from the DV-SP506 while the
other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric
shock. Always connect by plugging
into the wall outlet last and disconnect
by unplugging from the wall outlet
first.
• Before unplugging the DV-SP506
from the power outlet, make sure you
first switch it into standby.
Note:
• The DV-SP506 features a screen saver and an auto
power off function. If the DV-SP506 is stopped and no

Notes:
• Prolonged display of the same picture or menu may
cause irreparable damage to your TV screen known as
screen burn-in
. To prevent this, don’t keep playback
paused for too long and always press the Stop [ ] button when you’ve finished playing a DVD-Video disc
or VCD. The DV-SP506 features a screen saver to protect your TV from the effects of burn-in (see page 56).
•With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience
picture noise that is not normally visible with standard
TV broadcasts. This is usually because DVD-Video
uses a lot of high-resolution video data. The amount of
noise, if any, will depend on your particular TV and
the problem can sometimes be alleviated by turning
down the TV’s sharpness control.

Glossary
Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital audio.”
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is
almost twice as wide as it is high).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling frequency” and “Analog audio.”

HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) is a high-speed digital interface which has the
capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound
audio on a single digital connection. HDMI features
include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up
to 5 gigabytes per second and communication between
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file structure
of CD-ROM discs.
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as photographs
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this
format.

Glossary
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through onscreen
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs
that you would normally not watch from beginning to
end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital.
For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD,
and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit
can convert Dolby Digital, and DTS to PCM. See also
“Digital audio.”
Progressive scan video
All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in
one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes
to update the whole picture).
RIHD*1 (Remote Interactive over HDMI)
Onkyo’s implementation of CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows integrated system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI
standard.
Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with particular areas of
the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the
sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
per second. See also “Digital audio.”
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to
an audio compression technology developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 8.
