4. Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC­TION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Some models have a voltage selector switch for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

Speaker Precautions

For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark­ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse in the plug.
For European Models
Declaration of Conformity
We,
ONKYO EUROPE ELECTRONICS GmbH LIEGNITZERSTRASSE 6, 82194 GROEBENZELL, GERMANY
declare in own responsibility, that the ONKYO product described in this instruction manual is in compliance with the corresponding technical standards such as EN60065, EN55013, EN55020 and EN61000-3-2, -3-3.

Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
Placement
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it 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.
• Speakers 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.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti­cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output level.
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 SKF-360F/SKF­318F and SKC-360C/SKC-318C 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. Do not place SKM-360S/SKM-318S close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.
Input Signal Warning
The 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:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,
electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Before Using the AV receiver

Setting the Voltage Selector (on some models)

Some models have a voltage selector switch for compat­ibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t, use a small screwdriver to set it as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” If it’s between 220 and 240 volts, set it to “220­240V.”

Installing the Batteries

To open the battery compartment, press
1
the small hollow and slide open the cover.
Notes:
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi­ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun­light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control­ler may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con­troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert­ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta­cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•You can connect speakers with an impedance of
6 ohms or higher
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev­els for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega­tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• 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 wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker termi­nal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
. If you use speakers with a lower

Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of between 3/16" (5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you consult a home installa­tion professional.)

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets

Threaded inserts for machine screws are provided on the rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commer­cially available speaker mounts or brackets. North American models require 1/4-inch screws. Other models require M5 (5 mm) screws. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.

Push Insert wire Release
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
Other Models
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Fully extend the antenna and point it in
2
various directions to find the best recep­tion. Secure it in that position with thumb­tacks or something similar.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out­door FM antenna instead (see page 25).
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer­cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).

Connecting Antenna
—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out­door FM antenna instead.
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 from 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.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir­cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan­nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out­puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
Left (white)
Right (red)

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connec­tions can cause noise or malfunc­tions).
•To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video jacks slightly differently.)
Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs,

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using one of the following video connection formats: composite video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the COMPONENT OUT, but not by any com­posite video outputs.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, 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.

• If you connect the RI Dock’s AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the AV receiver’s TAPE IN jacks and also want to connect the RI Dock’s VIDEO OUT jack to the AV receiver:
Connect the RI Dock’s VIDEO OUT jack to an unused video input on the AV receiver. Do not connect it to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks. To watch an iPod slideshow or video, select the video input source first, and then select the TAPE input source. The AV receiver will output the audio being fed to the TAPE input, and because the video source doesn’t change when the TAPE input source is selected, it’ll continue to output the video being fed to the video input.
• What to do if you already have a component connected to the AV receiver’s VIDEO 3 IN or TAPE IN jacks:
You can connect the RI Dock to an unused AV input on the AV receiver, however, you will not be able to control your iPod with the AV receiver’s remote controller, as the functionality will be unavailable. The VIDE 3 IN and TAPE IN jacks are especially designed for use with the RI Dock.
34
Notes:
• If you have an Onkyo DS-A1 RI Dock, connect its S-VIDEO jack directly to an S-Video input on your TV.
• Set the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch to HDD or HDD/DOCK.
• Set the AV receiver’s Input Display to HDD (see page 38).
• See the RI Dock’s instruction manual for more information.
• When the AC adapter is unplugged or not connected to the RI Dock, the RI Dock will output no sound or video, functions will not work, and your iPod’s battery will not be charged.
• Connect the supplied cable to only jacks. Do not connect headphones to the jack, as it will damage
your equipment.

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 40), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT DVD IN jacks.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component.
Notes:
• Use only cables for connections. cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable
REMOTE CONTROL
components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components
e.g., CD player
may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all func­tions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

Using RDS (European models only)
RDS only works with European models and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available. When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator appears.
RDS indicator
What is RDS?
RDS stands for transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail­able in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa­tion:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name appears. When you press the [DISPLAY] button, the frequency is displayed for three seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT text information, that information is shown on the dis­play (see page 44).
PTY (Program Type)
You can also search for radio stations by type (see page 44).
TP (Traffic Program)
You can also search for TP radio stations (see page 44).
Notes:
• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis­played when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

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 jacks, and video from the camcorder connected to the VIDEO 3 IN jack are recorded by the VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

Notes:
•You cannot record from AV components that are con­nected to the digital inputs. You must use analog con­nections.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
•You cannot record from an AV component that is con­nected to the multichannel input.
• If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead.

About the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro­grams, the AV receiver can transform your home listen­ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.
This illustration shows which speakers are active in each listening mode.
Front left Center Front right
Subwoofer
Surround
left
Direct
The selected input source is output directly with minimal processing for a pure sound.
Stereo
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
Use this mode with DVDs and vid­eos that bear the Dolby Surround logo or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV shows and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.
Dolby Pro Logic II Music
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.
Dolby Pro Logic II Game
Use this mode when playing game discs.
Dolby Digital
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.
DTS
This digital surround format offers a sur­round sound experience with exceptional fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio data, with six discrete 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
Surround
right
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.
Neo:6
This mode provides 5.1-channel playback from 2-chan­nel sources. It offers five full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening to music.
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 5.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven­tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as music CDs.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music. 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 sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

SETUP
Press the [RECEIVER] button fol­lowed by the [SETUP] button.
The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.
Input Channel Settings
Multiplex
This setting determines which channel is output from a stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
Main:
The main channel is output (default).
Sub:
The sub channel is output.
M/S:
Both the main and sub channels are output.
Mono (2ch)
This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.
L+R:
Both the left and right channels are output (default).
L:
Only the left channel is output.
R:
Only the right channel is output.

Adjusting the Listening Modes

PLII Music Mode Settings
These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.
Panorama
With this function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode.
On:
Panorama function on.
Off:
Panorama function off (default).
Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode. The default setting is 3. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.
Center Width
This setting has an effect when you use a center speaker. With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode normally. If you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This set­ting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allow­ing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).
DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting
Center Image
This setting has an effect when you use a center speaker. The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu­ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)
With the Late Night 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.

STANDBY/ON
Power
Can’t turn on the AV receiver?
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug it in again.
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi­ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon­nected for one hour. After that, reconnect the power cord, and then set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, discon­nect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources properly. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.
Audio
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet?
• Press the SPEAKERS [A] or [B] button to turn on the indicator for the speakers that you want to output sound.
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 38). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but­ton repeatedly.
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 26).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with metal part of each speaker terminal (page 21)
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment (page 39).
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 46).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 45).
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con­nected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu.
• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in, you must connect one between it and the AV receiver. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con­nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a phono preamp.
• Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels (pages 53, 54).
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 57).
Only the front speakers produce sound?
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 55).
Only the center speaker produces sound?
• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie or Pro Logic II Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 55).
The surround speakers produce no sound?
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 50).
• Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 55).
The center speaker produces no sound?
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 50).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 55).
58
Troubleshooting
—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound?
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.
• When you play source material that contains no infor­mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 55).
• If the multichannel DVD input is selected and speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2-channel play­back, so the subwoofer outputs no sound.
• On the AV receiver, the subwoofer setting in the speaker configuration is set to No. Set the subwoofer setting to Yes.
There’s no sound with a certain signal format?
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con­nected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
Can’t get 5.1-channel playback?
• When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
The volume cannot be set to 79?
• When the subwoofer volume level is set to a positive (+) value, the maximum master volume level is reduced proportionally.
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital (page 52).
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t work?
• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec­tions (page 29).
•To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button (page 40).
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
About DTS signals
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit­stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to pre­vent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear
any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is con­nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog­nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal­function.
Video
There’s no picture?
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 26).
• Make sure that each video component is properly con­nected.
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a compo­nent video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 27).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear?
• Relocate your antenna.
•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com­puter.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 41).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.
•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (page 25).
59
Troubleshooting
—Continued
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor­rect polarity (page 19).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor (page 19).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control­ler mode (page 12).
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code.
Can’t control other components?
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control­ler mode (page 12).
• If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com­patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a DS-A1 Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 3 IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see page 38).
•To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via
, point the remote controller at the AV receiver.
RI Dock for the iPod
There’s no sound
• Make sure your iPod is actually playing.
• Make sure your iPod is inserted properly in the RI Dock.
• Make sure the RI Dock is connected to the correct input jacks on the AV receiver. Do not connect it to any output jacks.
• Make sure the AV receiver is turned on, the correct input source is selected, and the volume is turned up.
• Make sure the plugs are pushed in all the way.
• Make sure the AC adapter is connected to a suitable wall outlet and connected to the RI Dock.
•Try resetting your iPod.
There’s no video
• Make sure that your iPod’s TV OUT setting is set to On.
• Make sure the correct input is selected on your TV or the AV receiver.
• Some versions of the iPod do not output video.
The AV receiver’s remote controller doesn’t control your iPod
• 3rd generation iPods are not supported.
• Make sure your iPod is properly inserted in the RI Dock. If your iPod is in a case, it may not connect
properly to the RI Dock. Always remove your iPod from the case before inserting it into the RI Dock.
• The iPod cannot be operated while it’s displaying the Apple logo.
• Make sure you’ve selected the right remote mode.
• Check the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch setting.
• When you use the AV receiver’s remote controller, point it toward your amp.
• The RI Dock must be connected to the AV receiver with both an cable and an audio cable.
• If you still can’t control your iPod, start playback by pressing your iPod’s Play button. Remote operation should then be possible.
The AV receiver unexpectedly selects your iPod as the input source
•Always pause iPod playback before selecting a differ­ent input source. If playback is not paused, the Direct Change function may select your iPod as the input source by mistake during the transition between tracks.
Recording
Can’t record?
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
•To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).
Others
The sound changes when I connect my head­phones?
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, Direct.
How do I change the language of a multiplex source?
• Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “4. Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 51).
The functions don’t work?
•To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo­nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi­tally (page 36).
60
Troubleshooting
The AV receiver 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 event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor­rectly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out­let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
