Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a ﬂue-like gap for warm air to escape.

Precautions

1. Recording Copyright

—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse

—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care

—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel lettering.

4. Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

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

Connecting Your Speakers

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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS. 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 main 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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly 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. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog.

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

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 way along the front 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.

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.

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 equally spaced from the listener.

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

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 38) or manually (see page 72).

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back 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 your TV or screen, while the surround back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•

North American models:

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.

•

Other models:

impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 42). 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. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

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

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.

For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.

When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 44).

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 TAPE 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 (including multichannel). You can specify which audio inputs the AV receiver checks for the presence of a signal in the “Automatic Audio Input Selection Setup” on page 46.

Connecting Your Components

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

Video input signals ﬂow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, SVideo, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 43 and 44).

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, S-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 S-Video and composite video inputs, however, the S-Video signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the S-Video and HDMI outputs.

Notes:

• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s on Standby.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details.

•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT S jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT S jack.

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 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, or 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 will display a picture.

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

Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

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

• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192kHz)

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

Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.

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.

Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) 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): Led 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 Your Components

—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV,

projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 43).

■

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, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Connection Formats” on page 22 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 81).

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 81), and set your DVD 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.

• 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.

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 70)

Measurement Positions

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

First measurement point

This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.

Second measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

Third measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 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.

Using Audyssey 2EQ

Notes:

• If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the Speaker Impedance setting before running the automatic speaker setup (see page 42).

• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the automatic speaker setup starts.

• Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the automatic speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the speakers.

• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.

Notes:

• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ

AUDYSSEY

Automatic 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 automatic 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 inaccurate results.

• 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).

What is RDS?

RDS stands for transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. RDS is approved by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is available in North America.

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 56).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type (see page 56).

TP (Trafﬁc Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast trafﬁc information (see page 56).

Notes:

• In some cases, the 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.

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

AUX INPUT

This section explains how to record the input source and how to record audio and video from separate sources.

Notes:

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

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to the analog multichannel input cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

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

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the VCR/DVR OUT V and S jacks don’t output video signals, so select another mode when recording.

Recording the Input Source

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 20 to 36 for hookup information.

controller

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

See “Which Connections Should I Use?” on page 21 to see which signals can be output and recorded.

You can watch the source while recording it. The AV receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.

Recording from Different AV Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two separate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.

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

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it back in again.

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned on

• The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

Audio

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

•To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an HDMI input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 43).

•To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 44).

• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).

• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal (page 16).

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the volume (page 47). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.

• If the MUTING indicator is ﬂashing on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 48).

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the main room speakers (page 49).

• Check the digital audio output settings on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote controller.

• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in, you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.

• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a phono preamp.

• Check the speaker settings (pages 72–76).

• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it to Auto (page 50).

• 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 compatible audio format.

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 72).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

The center speaker produces no sound

Troubleshooting

—Continued

• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 83).

The subwoofer produces no sound

• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

The Zone 2 speakers produce no sound

• The Zone 2 speakers only output sources that are connected to an analog input. Check to see if the source component is connected to an analog input.

•Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if Speaker Type is set to Bi-Amp (page 42).

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote controller.

Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback

• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 83).

Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode

• The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected while Zone 2 is on.

• The Pure Audio listening mode is not available on the North American model.

The volume cannot be set to 79

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 78).

• After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted (pages 38 and 75), the maximum volume may be reduced.

• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted (page 75), the maximum possible volume may be reduced.

• When the Equalizer setting (page 76) is set to Audyssey, the maximum possible volume is reduced by 6 dB.

Noise can be heard

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio performance, so don’t use them.

• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

The Late Night function doesn’t work

• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital or Dolby TrueHD (page 69).

The analog multichannel input doesn’t work

• Check the multichannel input connections (page 25).

• Make sure that the multichannel input is selected (page 47).

• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

About DTS signals

• 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.

• 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, as the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear anything, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

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, sound may not be output immediately.

Video

There’s no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).

• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.

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

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only the HDMI OUT outputs video signals.

• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 43), and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT (page 31).

• If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 44), and your TV must be connected to either the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (page 31, 23).

• If the video source is connected to an S-Video or composite video input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT or the corresponding S-Video or composite video output (page 31, 23).

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 31).

• 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 player.

Tuner

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t light up

• Relocate your antenna.

•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.

• 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 13).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver and there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode.

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code (page 87).

Can’t control other components

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode.

• If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or an RI Dock to the GAME/TV IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or DOCK, respectively (see page 45).

• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

•With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

•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 88).

•To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected via , or another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at that component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (page 87).

Recording

Can’t record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.

•To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, video 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, in which case it stays the same.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

• On the “Audio Adjust” menu, change the “Input Ch” setting to Main or Sub (page 67).

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).

• While Zone 2 is selected, the functions don’t work.

The AV receiver’s display doesn’t work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listening mode is selected. Select another listening mode.

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, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME/TV, or AUX input. If you have a games console connected to the S-Video or composite video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:0:

Video ATT:2:

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 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.

(default). Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by this 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.

Troubleshooting

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video, S-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 setting the HDMI Output Resolution setting (page 80) to 480p or 720p. If that doesn’t improve the picture quality, 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 an S-Video input, connect your TV to an S-Video output.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to a composite video output.

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 43).

3. On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign,” and then select “2. Component Video Input” (page 44):

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1.”

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2.”

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