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 or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP 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.

Front high left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front left and right speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to place left and right at an angle slightly wider than the front left and right speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the front left and right speakers. Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

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.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2– 3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

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. You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PREOUT jacks respectively. 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.

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.

Speaker Configuration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

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

Number of speakers: 234567789

Front left ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Front right ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Center ✓ ✓✓✓✓✓✓ Surround left ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Surround right ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Surround back Surround back left ✓✓ Surround back right ✓✓ Front high left ✓✓✓ Front high right ✓✓✓

* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the

SURR BACK L terminals.

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. You can do this automatically (see page 45) or manually (see page 67).

Note:

Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

✓✓

• Speaker cable labels is not supplied with the HT-S7200 Home Theater System.

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right, surround back left and right and front high left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right and front high left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

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.

• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK L/R or FRONT HIGH L/R terminals.

• 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.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the “Speaker Type” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable biamping (see page 42).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup

Connecting Components with HDMI

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, DVD/BD 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) can display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:

x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

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

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

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

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

■ Onkyo for System Control

, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, operation with components other than -compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 79).

• See “Controlling a TV” (page 90) and “Controlling a DVD/BD Player, or DVD/BD Recorder” (page 91) for opera-

tion.

, so only HDCP-compatible components

Note:

Do not connect the -compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the linked operations work properly.

• DVD/BD player is up to three.

• DVD/BD recorder is up to three.

• Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four. Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI. When the -compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not

guaranteed.

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.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG *2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1:

Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray player/DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2:

Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 39).

■ Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Connection Formats” on page 24 for more information.

■ Audio Signals

Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 78).

Hint!

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 78), and set your DVD/BD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-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. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI 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” (see page 78), or “TV Control” is set to “On” (see page 79) and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver’s speakers. 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.

• The HDMI 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 HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

■ Signal Selection

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present. In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs. A video signal from the Composite Video In jack is output from the Composite Video Out jack regardless of the output priority.

The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.

Connecting Onkyo u 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 26 to

35).

Step 2:

Make the u connection (see illustration below).

Step 3:

If you’re using an RI Dock, change the Input Display (see page 44).

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

■ Auto Power On/Standby

■ Direct Change

■ Remote Control

Notes:

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

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

• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

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

• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change u functions do not work.

When you start playback on a component connected via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will auto-

matically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set

to Standby, all components connected via u will also go on Standby.

When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-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 89).

Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup

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. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 71). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ becomes available.

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 userselected 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 in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area.

a First measurement point

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

b Second measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

c Third measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

The distances between points and c must be at least 1 meter.

From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accordingly when prompted.

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 EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver is connected.

Notes:

• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.

• When starting the room correction and speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.

• 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 innacurate results.

First Time Setup—Continued

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

If you wish to make changes to the settings found during the room correction and speaker setup, follow the directions on pages 67–69.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be detected by the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a lowpass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

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.

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.

Multichannel

This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for

7.1-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. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

• Dolby PLIIx Movie

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

• Dolby PLIIx Music

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

• Dolby PLIIx Game

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

Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height

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.

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.

5.1-channel source + Dolby EX

These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel 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.

Dolby Digital Plus

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.

Center Width 0 to 7 (default: 3)

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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.

Both the left and right channels are output (default).

Left: Only the left channel is output.

Right: Only the right channel is output.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Dolby EX

Dolby EX Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is

used.

Advanced Setup—Continued

DTS Setting

Neo:6 Music

Center Image 0 to 5 (default: 2)

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

Setting a value [0] in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Audyssey Settings

When the room correction and speaker setup is complete, the “Equalizer Settings” (page 69) will be set to “Audyssey” and the “Dynamic EQ” will be set to “On”.

Dynamic EQ

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.

Dynamic Volume (see page 45)

Note:

After the room correction and speaker setup is completed, even if Equalizer Setting is set to other than “Audyssey”, when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, Equalizer Settings is set to “Audyssey”. When Dynamic Volume is set to effective, Equalizer Setting is set to “Audyssey” and Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. When Dynamic EQ is set to “Off”, Dynamic Volume becomes “Off” automatically.

Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).

On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.

Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.

Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most,

causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.

Theater-Dimensional Setting

Listening Angle Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. 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.

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjustment.

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 52).

• If there’s no sound from a DVD/BD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD/BD 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 uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.

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

• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 64).

• Specify the speaker distances (page 68) and adjust the individual speaker levels (page 69).

• 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 81).

Only the front speakers produce sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 67).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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 67).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.

• 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 67).

Troubleshooting—Continued

The center speaker produces no sound

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

• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

The front high and surround back speakers produce no sound

• Depending on the current listening mode, no sound may be produced by the front high and surround back speakers. Select another listening mode (page 64).

• Not much sound may be produced by the front high and surround back speakers with some sources.

• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front high and surround back speakers produce no sound (page 82).

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 67).

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 (pages 60–63).

Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback

• If no front high and surround back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.

• You can not always select all of the listening modes, depending on the number of the speakers connected (pages 60–63).

The volume cannot be set to 79

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 77).

• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted to high positive values (page 69), then the maximum master volume possible may be reduced. Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function has been completed (

page 46

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, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 72).

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 21).

• Make sure that each video component is properly connected (pages 23–35).

• If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, select “- - - - -” in the “HDMI Input Setup” on page 39 to watch composite video, and component video sources.

• If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 40), and your TV must be connected to either the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT (pages 26 and 23).

• If the video source is connected to a composite video input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT or the corresponding composite video output (pages 26 and 23).

• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 39), and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT (page 23).

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

Troubleshooting—Continued

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

• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported (page 23).

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

The onscreen menus don’t appear

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

The immediate display does not appear

• Depending on the input signal, the immediate display may not appear when the input signal from the HDMI IN is output to a device connected to the HDMI OUT.

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.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether. In this case, try the following:

1 If the video source is connected to a component

video input, connect your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.

2 On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign”, and

then select “1. HDMI Input”. Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -” (page 39).

3 On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign”, and

then select “2. Component Video Input” (page 40):

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”. If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2”.

If the video source is connected to composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.
