Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you

need to set the speaker settings automatically (_ page 24) or manually (_ page 36).

• 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.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

"1 ff you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terruinals.

*2 Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the

same time.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• 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 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.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver's rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

• ff your subwoofer is unpowered and you're using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Description

HDM[ connections call carry digital video and audio.

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PB, PR), providing the best picture

quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment.

Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio

quality is the same as coaxial. Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital

sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as optical.

Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio.

* Available sampling rate for PCM input signal is 32144.1/48188.2196 kHz. Even 176.4/192 kHz is effective in case of the HDM[

connection.

• The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

• The AV receiver' s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it's removed.

Push plugs in all the way.

• To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

• To use ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must support ARC function and "HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)" is set to "Off' (_ page 42).

• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV's speakers:

- Set the "HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)" setting to "On" for an r'411-11O-compatible TV.

- Set the "Audio TV Out" setting to "On" (_ page 42) when the TV is not compatible with r"41I-liD or the "HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)"

setting to "OFF'.

- Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player's HDM[ audio output setting to PCM.

- To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see "Connecting Your Components" (_ page 15).

• When listening to an HDM[ component through the AV receiver, set the HDM[ component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDM[ component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.

• When the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (_ page 42) to hear from your TV's speakers, by controlling the AV receiver's volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver's speakers, too. When the "HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)" setting is set to "On" (_ page 42) to hear from speakers of r41 I-liD-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver's volume, the AV receiver's speakers

will produce sound while the TV's speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver's speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV's settings, or turn down the AV receiver's volume.

change the Input Display (3 page 32).

With 1-41 (Remote Interactive), you can use the IY_llowing special functions:

N System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via K'tI, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will

automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

N Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via f-4I, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

N Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other f-4I-capable Onkyo components,

pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver's remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (3 page 47).

• Use only 1"41cables for 1-41connections. 1"-41cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

• Some components have two 1"41jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting

Using Basic Functions

Measurement procedure

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.

Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time

domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (_ page 39).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the "Audyssey Quick Start" and "Audyssey 2EQ Full

Calibration".

• "Audyssey Quick Start" uses the measurement from

one position to perform the speaker setting only.

• "Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration" uses the

measurement from three positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to 3 positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated

listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your

hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

@ First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

(_) Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

@ Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position @ to (_) and @ to @ must be at least 1 meter (3.3 It.).

Erl

..... : Listening area @ to (_): Listening position

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency [nterference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Silence the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.

• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs.

• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby

Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.

These modes expand 5. l-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. They're especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-

encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior

fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo. This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a

discrete surround back channel for true 6.117. l-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-

degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix- encoded back-channel for 6.1/7. l-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that

bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack. This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7. l-channel playback. It

uses seven full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience

that fully envelops the listener.

Neo:6 Cinema Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

Neo:6 Music Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV,

VHS, DVD).

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level

-- not just at reference level.

• These technologies cannot be used when:

- a pair of headphones is connected, or

- Direct listening mode is selected, or

- the USB input selector is selected.

I Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

_0 dB:

It should be used when listening to movies.

_5 dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

15 dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater

system each speaker level must be adjusted so that

-30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is

turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The

Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and

15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the

content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ® Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of

deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room

acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works well by itself. However, if Audyssey 2EQ® is on, the two technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for

every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume® Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large

variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine by itself, but can also be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on, Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts

the volume.

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.

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path

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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.

• Theon-screen setup menus are displayedwhen:

- There is no video input, o1"

-The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, o1"1080p.

Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, 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.

Audio component can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical,

coaxial, or HDMI. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the

AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)_2, so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

• 2-channel linear PCM (32-192 kHz, 16120124bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32-192 kHz, 16120124 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

"1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 ill 1999. *2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by [ntel for HDM[/DVL It's

designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by [ntel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewrlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this

open industry group's objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high- performance PCs and digital displays.

• The HDM[ video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual [nterface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDM[-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you'll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. [n addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDM[ audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there's no sound from a component connected via HDM[, check its setup. Refer to the connected component's instruction manual for

details.
