About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Corner

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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.

Tip: 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.

1/3 wall length

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience.

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Connecting the AV Receiver

About AV Connections

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.

• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

Optical Digital Jacks

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.

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

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel 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.

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

S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and provides better picture quality than composite video.

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment. Use only dedicated composite video cables.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. 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 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.

• 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)

of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the bare

wires.

Screw the terminal tight.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 22).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.)

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

■ Other models

FM 75

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.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Push Insert wire Release

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 22).

Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

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.

FM 75

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

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI

Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, 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) 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), so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface Speciﬁcation Informational Version 1.1

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)

Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

, so TVs and displays

About Copyright Protection

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.

Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999. *2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. 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 Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett 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.

Connecting Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is

connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (see pages 24 to 35).

Step 2: Make the connection. Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or HDD com-

ponent, change the input display (see page

44).

With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■ Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

■ Direct Change

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 46), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT DVD IN jacks.

Connecting the Power Cord of Another Component

The AV receiver has an AC outlet on its rear panel for connecting the power cord of another AV component.

The other component’s power switch can then be left in the ON position so that it turns on or off when the AV receiver is set to On or Standby.

■ 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. You must enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (see page 73).

Notes:

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

• Some components have two jacks. You can con- nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable components.

• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Con- necting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

Asian models

North American modelsEuropean and some

Caution:

Make sure that the capacity of the component that you connect to the AC OUTLET does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., 100W).

Notes:

• Onkyo components with jacks should be con- nected directly to wall outlets, not the AV receiver’s AC OUTLET.

• The socket type and capacity will depend on the country in which you purchased the AV receiver.

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 Radio Data System and is a method of 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 will be displayed. Pressing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 51).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 51).

TP (Trafﬁc Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast trafﬁc information (see page 51).

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.

About the Listening Modes

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high ﬁdelity and stunning surround sound.

The illustration shows which speakers are active in each listening mode with 5.1 channel speaker system.

Front left Center Front right

Subwoofer

Surround rightSurround left

Pure Audio (not North American models)

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-ﬁdelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.)

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-ﬁdelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II expands any 2-channel source for

5.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also beneﬁt from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.

• PLII Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• PLII Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

• PLII Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-ﬁdelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

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.

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-channel playback. It uses ﬁve 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).

Neural Surround (North American models only)

Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in surround technology developed for music and is adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of surround recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequencydomain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. System playback is scalable 5.1-channel surround playback.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono 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, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or 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

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode ﬁlls the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front and surround speakers.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Page 61

Recording

This section explains how to record the current input source and how to dub audio onto your video recordings.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel

input.

• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details.

• Digital signals received at COAXIAL IN/OPTICAL IN or HDMI IN 1/2 are only output by OPTICAL OUT. However, certain types of digital signal such as DVD-Audio signal input from HDMI IN will not be output. Analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.

• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VIDEO 1 OUT or VIDEO 2 OUT jacks. See pages 23 to 36 for hookup information.

VIDEO 3

TUNER

DVD

VIDEO 1

VCR 1 VCR 2

VIDEO 4 TAPE

Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want

to record.

You can watch the source while recording. The AV receiver’s VOLUME con- trol has no effect on recording.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate 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.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the VIDEO 4 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

Advanced Setup—Continued

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.

Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.

■ Mono Input Ch

This setting speciﬁes the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

L+R: Both the left and right channels are output

(default).

Left: Only the left channel is output.

Right: Only the right channel is output.

PL II Music Mode Settings

These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the PLII Music listening mode.

■ 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. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound ﬁeld forward. Higher settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward.

■ Center Width

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 are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are 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).

Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

■ Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5.1-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.

T-D Listening Setting

■ Listening Angle

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position.

Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).

Front right speaker

Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.

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 and contact your Onkyo dealer.

Audio

There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 39). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] button repeatedly

• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 18).

• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all components are connected properly (page 18).

• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal (page 20).

• Make sure that the input source is properly selected (page 45).

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99,

or MAX (page 45). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjustment.

• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 47).

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 47).

• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.

• If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in phono preamp, 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 phono equalizer.

• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged.

• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 59).

• Specify the speaker distances (page 63) and adjust the

individual speaker levels (page 64).

• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not still connected.

• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 70).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie, Pro Logic II Music, or Pro Logic II Game 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 42).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 59).

• 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 42).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Mono or Stereo listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 59).

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly (page 42).

Page 77

Troubleshooting—Continued

The subwoofer produces no sound

• 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 42).

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.

• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (page 58).

The volume cannot be set to 99

• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated (page 64), the maximum volume setting may change.

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 62).

The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t work

• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connections (page 26).

• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button.

• 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 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 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.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard

• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

Video

There’s no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 18).

• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.

• If your video component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 23).

• If a video component is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

There’s no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN

• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV receiver’s display, this indicates that the TV or display does not support the current video resolution and you need to select another resolution on your DVD player.

The onscreen menus don’t appear

• The onscreen menus do not appear on a TV that’s connected to the HDMI OUT.

• Make sure that the video settings are correct (page 40).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which

the AV receiver is connected is selected.

The immediate display does not appear

• The immediate display appears on a device connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, when the Component Video Setup (page 41) is set to “---.”

• The immediate display does not appear on a device connected to the HDMI OUT.

Troubleshooting—Continued

Tuner

Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear

• Relocate your antenna.

• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-

puter.

• Listen to the station in mono (page 48).

• 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.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 12).

• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries (page 12).

• 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 12).

• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.

• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (pages 13-16).

• When using the remote controller to control other manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may not work as expected.

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code.

• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver and remote controller (pages 69 and 71).

Can’t control other components

• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. Connecting only an cable won’t work (page 36).

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (pages 13-16).

• 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 display to MD, CDR, or HDD (pages 44 and 73).

• To control another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at that component.

• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (page 73).

• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected via , or another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (page 72).

Recording

Can’t record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected (e.g., digital or analog).

• When the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

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, or Pure Audio (not North American models).

The speaker distance cannot be set as required

• In some cases, corrected values suitable for home theater use may be set automatically.

The display doesn’t work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not North American models) listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

• Use the “a. Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 66).

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).

Page 79

Troubleshooting—Continued

The following settings can be made for the component video, S-Video, and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings.

1. While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.

2. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to change the setting.

3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve ﬁnished.

• Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, or VIDEO 4 input. If you have a games console connected to a component video, S-Video or composite video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:0: (default). Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

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.

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.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
