Instruction Manual

Facilities and connections 8

1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions

should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the

operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before

cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by

the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.

11. Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antennadischarge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be lo-

cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,

or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind

into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper ad-

justment of other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,

and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-

mance – this indicates a need for service.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the TX-DS898. The TX-DS898 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

7, 8. Connecting a satellite tuner, television, or settop

box (VIDEO 3 or 4)

If the satellite tuner or television is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the S VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the S VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN and VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN terminals. If the satellite tuner or television has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS898, the VIDEO 3 and VIDEO 4 input sources are set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jack.

If the video connection is made at COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Video Setup → Component Video (see page 38).

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the satellite tuner or television to the same VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN audio jacks on the TX-DS898. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS898 depending on the device.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS898, the VIDEO 3 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 3 jack, and the VIDEO 4 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 4 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 36).

9. Connecting a television monitor or projector (MONITOR OUT)

The TX-DS898 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.

If the monitor or projector is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO and MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminals. If the device has component video inputs, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

Note:

Note that the Setup menu will only be displayed on the monitor connected to MONITOR OUT and not those connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

10. Connecting video camera, etc. (VIDEO 5)

If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the S VIDEO 5 IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the VIDEO 5 IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the S VIDEO 5 IN and VIDEO 5 IN terminals. The VIDEO 5 digital input is fixed to the OPTICAL input on the front panel.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them. For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important.

For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.

Ideal speaker configuration

• Front right and left speakers

• Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.

• Surround right and left speakers

Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.

• Surround back right and left speakers

Required for enjoying THX Surround EX, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, or DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 audio.

• Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback

• Front right and left speakers

• Surround right and left speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown. In order to create the optimum conditions for the best sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the greatest difference between the distances of each speaker to the listening position is less than 6 meters.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back speakers

• Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.

• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-DS898.

• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 24).

Connecting speakers

Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the TX-DS898. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (see page 31).

• To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

Outline

The TX-DS898 allows you to connect another set of speakers and place them in a different room or separated area for listening to music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room where the TX-DS898 is located is the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the TX-DS898 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.

Note:

The ZONE 2 OUT terminals of the TX-DS898 are of a fixed output level.

TX-DS898

Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)

If the remote controller signal does not reach the TX-DS898 remote sensor

If the TX-DS898 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet for the infrared rays from the controller to reach.

With this connection, select “Main” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup menu (see page 31).

If the remote controller signal does not reach other components

In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the TX-DS898 and then place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on the front of the TX-DS898 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.

The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for operation:

• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller Extension System), or

• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles

and Xantech® to name a few

The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-DS898 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone. With this connection, select “Zone 2” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup menu (see page 31).

Make connection as shown below. Do not plug the equipment into the power source until the connection is complete.

2. Insert the wire into the hole.

3. Release the lever.

Insert into the hole.

FM antenna

Hint:

Either of the split ends of the AM antenna can be connected to either terminal. Unlike speaker cabling, there is no polarity for AM broadcast signals.

Connecting the included antennas

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:

The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion. If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Connecting the AM loop antenna:

The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the TX-DS898, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords. When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

To use the tuner of TX-DS898, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.

• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception must be done while listening to a station broadcast.

• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended.

Assembling the AM loop antenna

Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.

• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details on connecting the loop antenna.

Connecting an AM outdoor antenna

An outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above a window or outside.

• Do not remove the AM loop antenna.

• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is

necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Directional linkage

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna

Please make sure that you follow the considerations:

• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).

• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.

• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Note:

If you are using the TX-DS898 worldwide model in a region where AM frequencies are delineated by 10-kHz steps, be sure to set the AM Freq Step Setup setting accordingly (see page 31).
