choose will depend on the formats supported by your AV
components. Use the following sections as a guide.
When connecting video equipment, you need to make video
and audio connections.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the
following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, so only output
connectors of the same format as the input connector will
output a signal, as shown below.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the
S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the
S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO
VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video
or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the
following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial,
and multi-channel (5.1).
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, as shown below.
For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT connectors, so if you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input,
you must also connect it to the analog CD IN connectors.

Installing Your Speakers
You can use two sets of speakers with your HT-R510:
speaker set A and speaker set B.
With speaker set A, which should be installed in your main
listening room, and can be used with Dolby Digital or DTS
surround material, you can connect front-left, front-right,
center, surround-left, surround-right, surround-back, and
subwoofer speakers.
With speaker set B, which can be installed in another room,
and used with stereo or mono material, you can connect a
pair of standard hi-fi speakers.
Positioning Your Speakers
Speaker-set B can be positioned in the standard position for
stereo speakers or where you like.
Speaker-set A, however, must be positioned at specific points
in your listening room to achieve the best results from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the
best positions for your surround-sound speakers. Obviously,
the positions you choose will depend on the shape of your
room and the position of your TV or projector screen. Either
way, use this illustration as a guide and try to use the same
positions relative to your listening position.
■ Surround Speakers
Surround speakers add a sense of movement and put you, the
listener, in the middle of the action.
• The surround-left and surround-right speakers should be
installed at the sides, or slightly behind the listener, 2–3 ft.
(60–100 cm) above ear level, and against the side walls.
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
speakers.
■ Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the low-frequencies, providing a
powerful and solid bass.
• 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.

To get the most from surround sound, you should connect all
seven speakers. However, if you don’t connect a center
speaker or surround speakers, you can still enjoy surround
sound material by specifying the number of speakers connected, and the HT-R510 will produce the best surround
sound possible with the available speakers. See page 34.
Similarly, if you don’t have a subwoofer, you can turn off the
subwoofer so that bass sounds are produced by the other
speakers. See page 25.
■ Front Speakers
Front speakers consist of front-left, front-right, and center
speakers. The center speaker adds directionality and movement.
• In general, the front-left, front-right, and center speakers
should be installed facing the listener at ear-level.

See the instructions supplied with your speakers for more
information.
Attaching the Supplied Speaker Labels
Speaker cables are two-wire cables, with one wire for connecting to the positive (+) terminal, and one for connecting to
the negative (–) terminal.
The HT-R510’s positive (+) speaker terminals are colorcoded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker
terminals are black.)

Front rightRed
CenterGreen

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you
should attach them to the positive side of each speaker cable
as appropriate. For example, put the white labels on the positive sides of the front-left speaker cable, as shown below.

Connecting Your Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.
• Only use speakers with an impedance of between 8 Ω and
16 Ω. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than
8 Ω may damage your HT-R510.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect
the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and
negative connections. Doing so may
damage your HT-R510.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to
each speaker terminal. Doing so may
damage your HT-R510.
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair of
speakers, don’t connect it to both the left and right speaker
terminals.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can
sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away for tall
buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM
transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise
sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away
from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. See item 14 of the
“Important Safeguards” on page 2 of this manual.

Setting the Crossover Frequency
To achieve the best bass performance from your speaker system, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the
size and frequency response of your subwoofer and other
speakers (front, center, and surround).
If you’re not using a subwoofer, bass sounds are output by the
other speakers and this setting has no effect.

While “Auto” is displayed, the name of the digital input currently assigned to the input source (page 24) is displayed in
parenthesis. For example, “Auto (COAX).” The possible
inputs are OPT1, OPT2, and COAX.
The options are explained below.
Auto: The assigned digital input will have priority over the
analog inputs. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs
will be used.
Analog: The analog inputs will be used even if the input
source (i.e., AV component) is connected digitally.
Multich: The multi-channel inputs will be used even if the
input source is connected digitally.
Notes:
• When you assign an input source to COAX, OPT1, or
OPT2 on page 24, if the signal format for that input source
was previously set to Analog, it’s automatically set to Auto.
• When you assign an input source to “– – – –” on page 24,
if the signal format for that input source was previously set
to Auto, it’s automatically set to Analog.
Fixing the signal format at DTS or PCM
If you experience either of the following issues when playing
DTS or PCM source material with the Auto setting, you can
fix the signal format at PCM or DTS, as explained below.
• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off
in Auto mode, try fixing the format at PCM.
• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a
DTS format CD or LD in Auto mode, try fixing the format
at DTS.
1) To fix the signal format, use the [AUDIO SELECTOR]
button, or the remote controller’s [AUDIO SEL] button to
select Auto.
2) While “Auto” is being displayed, use the PRESET/
ADJUST [ ] [ ] buttons to select: PCM, DTS, or Auto.
When the digital signal format is fixed at DTS or PCM,
only signals in the corresponding format will be output.
Digital signals in other formats will be ignored, and the
DTS or PCM indicator, depending on which format you
have set, will flash.
While the format is being displayed, use the [AUDIO SELECTOR] button to select: Auto,
Analog, or Multich (DVD input
source only).
Using the Multi-Channel Inputs
The multi-channel inputs are for connecting an AV component with individual 5.1-surround analog outputs, such as a
DVD player or MPEG decoder.
See “Connecting Your AV Components” on page 13 for connection information.

You can adjust the volume level of each individual speaker as
you like. For the front-left, front-right, center, surround-left,
and surround-right speakers, you can adjust the volume from
–12 dB to +12 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted from
–30 dB to +12 dB.
Note that these settings work independently of the individual
speaker volume settings on page 27.
Enabling the Tone Controls
To use the Bass and Treble functions with the multi-channel
inputs, first you need to enable them. To do this, press the

You can now use the [AUDIO ADJUST] button to select the
Bass and Treble functions and adjust as explained on
page 37. To switch off the Bass and Treble functions, press
the [DIRECT] button. “Tone Off” appears on the display.
Notes:
•To use the multi-channel inputs, you must connect an AV
component with individual 5.1-surround analog outputs to
the HT-R510’s multi-channel inputs.
•You can select Multich only when the DVD input source is
selected.
• While Multich is selected, you can’t select a listening
mode. If you select Multich while using a listening mode,
the listening mode will be cancelled.
• While Multich is selected, the speaker configuration setting (page 25) is ignored, so even if you have specified two
speakers, the multi-channel input signals will be fed to the
front-left, front-right, center, surround-left, and surroundright speakers regardless.
• While Multich is selected, the subwoofer mode (page 25)
is ignored, so even if you have specified “Subwoofer Off,”
the signal connected to the SUBWOOFER DVD IN will be
fed to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT regardless.
Press the remote controller’s [DVD]
input selector button, then [AUDIO
SEL] button to select “Multich.”

Using the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP programs, the HT-R510 can transform your home listening
room into a movie theater or concert hall.
To get the most from surround sound, it’s important that you
install and configure your speakers correctly. See “Installing
Your Speakers” on page 20 and “Configuring Speaker Set A”
on page 25 for information.
Listening mode availability depends on the format of the currently selected input signal. For example, the Dolby Digital
listening modes are available only while a Dolby Digital format signal is being received. Likewise, the DTS listening
modes are available only while a DTS format signal is being
received.
The following table lists all the possible listening modes and
indicates which modes can be selected for each source for-
About the Listening Modes
mat. The “Speakers” column lists the minimum number of
speakers (excluding subwoofer) necessary to use each mode.
The HT-R510 provides a number of listening modes for use
with various types of source material, including Dolby Digital, DTS, Pro Logic II, and Neo:6. In addition, you can use
the special Onkyo DSP programs, Orchestra, Unplugged,
and so on, to add surround effects to stereo sources.
The adjacent diagram graphically indicates which speakers
are actually used in that mode. If you use less than the minimum number of speakers, some modes will not be available.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued
The listening modes are explained below.
Basic Modes
Direct: The selected input source is fed directly to the power-
amp stages and through to the front left and right speakers
with minimal processing. Use this mode when watching an
old movie that has a mono soundtrack, when listening to
either the left or right channel of multilingual material, or
when playing a DVD or other source that has multiplexed
audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
Stereo: The selected input source is processed as a stereo
signal and output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Use this mode when listening to stereo sources.
Surround Modes
Pro Logic II Movie: Dolby Pro Logic II
Movie mode decoding for 5.1 surround.
Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby
Surround logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround.
You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV programs and the HT-R510 will create a 5.1 surround mix.
Pro Logic II Music: Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. Use
this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music
CDs.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema: DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode. This mode
is intended for use with movies, providing surround sound
with a realistic sense of movement. Use this mode to add 6.1
surround to stereo movies, videos, and TV programs.
DTS Neo:6 Music: DTS Neo:6 Music mode. This mode uses
the surround channels to create a natural sound field that cannot be produced with conventional stereo. Even with twochannel music, a natural sound field can be produced from
the surround channels. Use this mode to add 6.1 surround to
stereo sources such as music CDs.
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital decoding with up
to 5.1 channels. With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater
or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby
Digital logo.
Dolby Digital EX: Dolby Digital EX decoding
with up to 6.1 channels. With an added surround-back channel, this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds
such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead. Dolby
Digital EX material can also be played on conventional 5.1
channel systems, in which case the surround-back channel
sound is divided between the left and right surround channels. Use this mode with DVDs that have a 5.1-channel
soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital logo.
DTS: DTS decoding with up to 5.1 channels. This
digital surround format offers a surround sound
experience with exceptional fidelity. It’s compressed digital audio data, with six completely separate channels (5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio
data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides
very high-quality sound. You'll need a DTS compatible DVD
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with
DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
• When listening to DTS material, using the pause, fast forward, or reverse functions on your DTS-compatible player
may produce a short audible noise. This is normal.
• When DTS material ends and the DTS signal transmission
stops, the HT-R510 remains in DTS listening mode, and
the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise
when you use the pause, fast forward, or reverse functions
on your DTS-compatible player. If you switch your player
from DTS to PCM, because the HT-R510 does not switch
formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in
which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then restart playback.
•With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is
connected to a digital input on the HT-R510. This is usually because the digital signal has been processed (e.g.,
output level, sampling rate, or frequency response
changed) and the HT-R510 cannot recognize the signal as
a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
• The HT-R510’s TAPE OUT and VIDEO 1 OUT connectors output only analog audio, so don’t try and record a
DTS CD or LD from these outputs because all you’ll get is
noise.
DTS-ES: DTS-ES decoding with up to 6.1 channels. Use this
mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.
The HT-R510 supports both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
Discrete 6.1 is for use with material encoded in
the DTS 6.1 format. With an additional surroundback channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a
realistic sense of movement and space. You can enjoy this
format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.
Matrix 6.1 allows you to play DTS 5.1 material
on a 6.1 channel system. Since DTS 5.1 material
includes information about the surround-back
channel, channels can be reconstructed for playback on a 6.1 channel system. You can enjoy this
format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or
DTS logo.
DSP Modes
Orchestra: Suitable for classical or operatic music. The cen-
ter speaker is turned off and the surround channels are
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition,
it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Unplugged: Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals,
and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it
simulates the stage-front experience.
Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to
music in this mode creates a lively soundfield with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic: Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced
in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and adds clarity to voices.
All Ch St (All Channel Stereo): Ideal for background
music. The front, surround, and surround-back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.

Audio Adjust Functions—Continued
The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.
■ Bass
With this function you can boost or cut low-frequency
sounds output by the front speakers from –12 dB to +12 dB
in 2 dB steps.
■ Treble
With this function you can boost or cut high-frequency
sounds output by the front speakers from –12 dB to +12 dB
in 2 dB steps.
■ Late Night (Dolby Digital)
With this function you can reduce the dynamic range of
Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts
even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.
Late Night=Off............no effect
Late Night=Low..........small reduction in dynamic range
Late Night=High .........big reduction in dynamic range
Note that the impact of the Late Night function depends on
the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with
some material there will be little or no effect.
This function is automatically cancelled when you set the
HT-R510 to Standby.
■ Cinema Filter
With this function, you can soften the harshness, or brightness sometimes experienced with movie soundtracks, which
are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.
■ Center Image (DTS Neo:6 Music)
The DTS Neo:6 surround format derives its center-channel
signal from stereo material, either analog or digital. In Music
mode, the center speaker is intended to augment the left and
right speakers, allowing them to faithfully reproduce the
original stereo mix. For this reason, the center channel sound
is not fully subtracted from the left and right channels. With
this function, you can adjust the amount of subtraction
depending on your room layout and personal preference.
Center Image: 5...........nothing is subtracted from the left
and right channels.
Center Image: 0...........the left and right channel levels
are halved (–6 dB), making the
center channel more dominant,
particularly useful when the listener is off-center.
This function has no effect on the level of the center speaker.
■ Dimension (Pro Logic II Music)
With this function, you can move the soundfield backward or
forward.
Dimension: 3............... the soundfield is in the normal
position.
Choose a lower setting to move the soundfield forward.
Choose a higher setting to move it backward.
If the stereo image is too wide, or there’s too much surround
information, try moving the soundfield forward to achieve a
better balance. If the stereo image is too narrow, or it sounds
almost like it’s in mono, try moving the soundfield backward.
■ Center Width (Pro Logic II Music)
In Pro Logic II decoding, the center-channel signal is output
by the center speaker. If a center speaker is not used, the
decoder divides the center signal equally between the front
left and right speakers, producing what’s known as a “phantom” center. With this function you can choose to have the
center-channel signal output by only the center speaker, by
only the front left and right speakers (“phantom” center), or
by a mix of the two.
Center Width: 0 ........... the center-channel signal is output
only by the center speaker.
Center Width: 7........... it’s output only by the front left
and right speakers (“phantom”
center).
In home theaters, adding some width to the center channel
can improve the balance between the center and front left and
right speakers. Most stereo material will benefit from appropriate use of this function.
■ Panorama (Pro Logic II Music)
With this function, you can extend the front stereo image to
the surround speakers to provide a “wraparound” effect,
especially useful when not much sound is being output by the
surround speakers.

Recording
This chapter explains how to record the selected input source
to an AV component with recording capability, and how to
record audio and video from two different sources.
Recording the Input Source
You can record only to AV components that are connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
See pages 10–19 for information on connecting your AV
components to the HT-R510.

Recording from Different AV Sources
With this function you can record audio and video from different sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your
video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact
that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER,
or CD) is selected, the video input source remains
unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3
input source, followed by the CD input source, you can
watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the
audio from the CD input.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video
camera connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO connector
are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the
VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.

input source will be recorded instead.
1. Prepare the camera and CD player for playback.
2. Prepare the VCR for recording.
3. Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector button.
4. Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves
the video camera as the video source.
5. Start recording on the VCR and start playback
on the video camera and CD player.
The video from the camera, and the audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
Notes:
•You cannot record audio from an AV component that is
connected digitally. You must use an analog connection.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP
listening modes cannot be recorded.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.

Using the Remote Controller RC-518M with Your Other AV
Components
RC-518M
Connecting your -compatible Onkyo CD player, DVD
player, or cassette recorder to the HT-R510 via allows
you to control your system with the HT-R510’s remote controller by pointing it at the HT-R510. This allows you to control components that are out of sight, for example, in a
cabinet. Since you don’t have to enter any special codes, or
do any programming, allows you to control these components quickly and easily. See page 19 for connection information. See page 41 for operating information.
In addition, you can control an AV component made by
another manufacturer by entering the appropriate manufacturer’s code into the remote controller.
Note:
•To use the function, you must make an connection
and an analog RCA/phono connection between the AV
component and your HT-R510, even if they are connected
digitally.
Entering the Manufacturer’s Code
If you’re using an Onkyo CD player connected to the
HT-R510’s connector, an Onkyo AV component without
an connection, or an AV component made by another
manufacturer, do the following.
Determine the appropriate manufacturer’s
1
code from the following list.
Where several codes are listed, try the first one, and
if that doesn’t work, try the others until you find one
that does.
While holding down the remote controller’s
2
[VCR], [TV], [CABLE/SAT], or [CD/DVD] button, press the [ENT] button.
For the [CD/DVD] button, you can enter a CD code
or DVD code, not both. And for the [CABLE/SAT]
button, a Cable code or Satellite code, not both.
Within 10 seconds, use the remote control-
3
ler’s number buttons to enter the manufacturer’s code.
Check to see if you can control the AV com-
4
ponent from the remote controller.
If it works as expected, the code has been entered correctly.
If not, go back to step 3 and try again.
Note that with some manufacturer’s AV components, some
of the remote controller’s buttons may not work as expected.
By default, the [CD/DVD] button is set to code 316,
which is for use with an -compatible Onkyo DVD
player connected to the HT-R510’s connector. To
control an -compatible Onkyo CD player connected
to the HT-R510’s connector, you must enter code
300. To control an Onkyo DVD player without an
connection, you must enter either code 301 or 313. The
[CD/DVD] button can be used with only one AV component.

Yo u’re not pointing the remote controller at the
HT-R510’s remote sensor.
Yo u’re too far away from the HT-R510.
A strong light source is interfering with the
HT-R510’s remote sensor.
If the HT-R510 is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not
work reliably when the doors are closed.
The wrong manufacturer’s code has been
entered.
Yo u’re pointing the remote controller at the
wrong AV component.
Yo u’ve made an connection but not an analog RCA/phono connection.
Untangle the audio cables and position them as far
away as possible from the power cord.
Check the subwoofer mode (page 25).
Check the volume of the subwoofer (page 27).
Select the correct input on the TV (i.e., the input to
which the HT-R510 is connected).
Check your video cables and connections
(pages 10–19).
The HT-R510 doesn’t convert between video formats.
It works as a video signal switcher. Composite video
input signals are output only by composite video outputs. S-Video input signals are output only by
S-Video outputs. And component video input signals
are output only by component video outputs.
Point the remote controller at the HT-R510’s remote
sensor (page 5).
Use the remote controller closer to the HT-R510
(page 5). The remote controller has a range of
approximately 16 ft. (5 meters).
Make sure that the HT-R510 is not subjected to direct
sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate
if necessary.
Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored
glass.
Tr y entering the code again (page 40).
If more than one code is provided, try them all
(page 40).
With some manufacturer’s AV components, certain
buttons will not work as expected.
To control an AV component connected via ,
point the remote controller at the HT-R510. To control an AV component that’s not connected via ,
point the remote controller at that AV component
(page 41)
To use , you must make an connection and an
analog RCA/phono connection between the AV component and HT-R510, even if they are connected digitally (page 19).

The wrong input source is selected on your
recorder.
The Late Night function only works with Dolby
Digital.
The input signal format is set to Auto or Analog. Set the input signal format to Multich (page 29).
The AV component is not properly connected.
This is normal. When you connect a pair of
headphones, the Stereo listening mode is
selected automatically.
Use the [FM MODE] button to select mono mode
(page 31).
Adjust the position, height, and direction of your FM
antenna.
Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably one with
many elements. Installing an outdoor antenna is a

The power cord must be plugged into a wall outlet a
few times each month in order to preserve the presets.
Connect the AV component using analog connections
(pages 10–19).
Although you cannot record Dolby Digital or DTS
surround channels, you can record the left and right
channels by connecting the source AV component’s
analog left and right outputs to a pair of analog inputs
on the HT-R510.
Select the correct input source. See your recorder’s
manual for more information.
“ DIGITAL” appears on the display when using a
Dolby Digital source (page 28).

the HT-R510’s DVD IN FRONT L and R, SURR L and
R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER connectors
(page 13).
• The HT-R510 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise
from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again. That should fix it.
•To reset the HT-R510 to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button.
“Clear” will appear on the display and the HT-R510 will enter Standby mode.
