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 120 V, 60 Hz).

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

6. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original

packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit

for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm

after prolonged use. This is normal.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may

not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Memory Backup

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. Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

Connecting Your Speakers

About Speakers

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room, and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS sources.

To get the best surround sound experience, each speaker must be positioned at a speciﬁc location within the room, as shown in the following illustration. Note that while speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.

Speaker set B can be installed in another room and positioned like normal stereo speakers or however you like. Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected to an analog input.

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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers further enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the

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.

listener. They are essential to enjoy certain listening modes (i.e., Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES). Position them behind the listener about 2– 3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Make sure that the listening position is within the range of the 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 wall, as shown.

1/3 wall position

Corner position

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.

Page 16

Connecting Your Speakers—Continued

How Many Speakers?

For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers: 234567

Front left ✓✓✓✓✓✓

Front right ✓✓✓✓✓✓

Center ✓ ✓✓✓

Surround left ✓✓✓✓

Surround right ✓✓✓✓

Surround back* ✓

Surround back left ✓

Surround back right ✓

*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

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

Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 32).

To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and each speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see page 52). In addition, you should set the volume level of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position (see page 52.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can 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 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 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.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identiﬁcation. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)

Speaker terminal Color

Front left White

Front right Red

Center Green

Surround left Blue

Surround right Gray

Surround back left Brown

Surround back right Tan

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

5/8" (15 mm)

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered subwoofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external ampliﬁer, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to the amp’s input.

Note:

Make sure the plugs are pushed in all the way.

Connecting Speaker Set B

Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.

The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

AM antenna push terminals FM antenna jack

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

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.

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.

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

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 19).

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 19).

Page 19

Connecting Antenna—Continued

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.

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.

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

AM loop antenna

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

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 Your Components

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 Cables & Jacks

AV Connection Color Coding

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

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, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Video Connection Formats

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

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not by any composite video or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.

For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

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 with components whose power cord is connected to the AV receiver’s AC OUTLET.

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 (page 35), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT jacks.

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 (page 55).

Notes:

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

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

• Connect the AV receiver’s jack only to Onkyo components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s components may cause them to malfunction.

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

• If you connect an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component, you must change the input display (see page 31).

About the Listening Modes

With its surround-sound decoders and DSP modes, the AV receiver can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Front left Center Front right

Subwoofer

left

Surround back left/

Surround

Direct

In this mode, the input source is output as it is, with minimal processing for a faithful sound. The bass and treble functions are bypassed.

Stereo

In this mode, the input source 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 to select 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 Movie

Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo, or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use it to create 5.1 surround from stereo movies and TV shows.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

Use this mode to create 5.1 surround from stereo music sources, such as CDs and DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx can create 7.1 surround from stereo music or 5.1 movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx offers a well deﬁned, natural multichannel surroundsound experience, putting the listener in a seamless envelope of sound. The added drama and natural sound enhances the listening experience with music, movies, and games.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation: Movie mode for watching movies, Music mode for listening to music, and Game mode for playing games on a games console with stereo outputs.

right

Surround

right

Dolby Digital

With Dolby Digital, you can experience the same thrilling sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX includes a surroundback channel, for 6.1 surround. It offers a heightened sense of space, and added realism with moving sounds, especially those that move 360 degrees or ﬂy overhead. Dolby Digital EX can also be enjoyed on a 5.1 system, in which case the surroundback channel sound is split between the surround left and surround right speakers. Use this mode with DVDs that feature 5.1 and bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DTS

This format offers a surround sound experience with exceptional ﬁdelity. It offers six discrete channels for 5.1 surround, and uses less compression for a truly faithful sound. You’ll need a DTS-capable DVD player to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode offers very high audio quality. Use it with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround. With the additional surround back channel, it offers seven independent digital channels, providing a real sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs and DVDs that feature DTS 6.1 and bear the DTS-ES logo.

DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with a surround back channel for 6.1 surround. Use it to create 6.1 surround from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1 material already contains surround back channel information, the back channel can be reconstructed for real 6.1 surround. Use this mode with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTSES.

Neo:6

This mode creates 6.1 surround from stereo sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels and excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for watching movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1 surround. Use it with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound ﬁeld, something that cannot be done with conventional stereo. Use it with stereo sources and music CDs.

Page 47

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

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, providing presence.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the experience of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and 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

Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that ﬁlls the entire listening area.

Full Mono

All speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

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.

M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.

■ Mono (2ch)

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

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

(default).

L: Only the left channel is output. R: Only the right channel is output.

PL II & PL IIx Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

■ Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Higher settings move the sound ﬁeld forward. Lower settings move it backward.

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

■ Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, 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 adjusts 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 value is 3).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

■ Center Image

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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default value is 3). 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.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

■ Dolby D EX

This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.

Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital

EX ﬂag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode is used (default).

Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro

Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital EX.

■ Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound ﬁeld forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.

Learning Commands from Other Remote Controllers

The AV receiver’s remote controller can receive and learn commands from other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can learn it and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in CD mode.

You can also use this function to learn individual commands after entering a remote controller code (page 54).

Notes:

• The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV [ ], TV CH [+]/[–], [TV INPUT], TV VOL [ ]/[ ].

• The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn approximately 70–90 commands, although, this will be reduced by commands that use a lot of memory.

• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed commands by resetting the remote controller (page 55).

• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure.

• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.

• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned commands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.

On the AV receiver’s remote controller, press the button you want to learn the new command.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Power

Can’t turn on the AV receiver

• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall outlet properly.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 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. 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

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 31). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] button repeatedly.

• 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 metal part of each speaker terminal (page 17)

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX (page 34). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.

• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 42).

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 43).

• Check the digital audio output settings on the connected device. On some games 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.

• 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 phono preamp.

• Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels (pages 52, 53).

• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 53).

Only the front speakers produce sound

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

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly (page 32).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx Music 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 32).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 44).

• 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 32).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 44).

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly (page 32).

The surround back speakers produce no sound

• The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Select another listening mode (page 44).

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

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly (page 32).

• While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to

5.1-channel playback and the surround back speakers produce no sound.

Page 60

Troubleshooting—Continued

The subwoofer produces no sound

• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.

• 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 32).

Speaker set B produces no sound

• Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected to an analog input. Make sure that the analog audio cables are connected properly.

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

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

Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback

• While speaker B is on, speaker set A is reduced to

5.1-channel playback.

The volume cannot be set to 79

• When the volume level of each speaker has been adjusted (pages 43, 52), the maximum possible volume setting may be reduced.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 21).

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

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 48).

The multichannel DVD input doesn’t work

• Check the multichannel DVD input connections (page 23).

• To select the multichannel DVD 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 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

Tuner

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

• Relocate your antenna.

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

• Listen to the station in mono (page 36).

• 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.

Can’t select XM radio channels

• Channels cannot be selected while the indicator is ﬂashing, as tuning is in progress.

Page 61

Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller Recording

The remote controller doesn’t work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 9).

• 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 9).

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 10).

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code (page 54).

Can’t control other components

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 10).

• 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 2 IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see page 31).

• The wrong remote control code has been entered.

• 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 (see page 55).

• 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 (see page 54).

• When learning commands, make sure that the transmitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at each other.

• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot be learned, especially those that contain several instructions.

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 VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

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, or Direct, in which case, it stays the same.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

• Use the Multiplex setting in “4. Audio Adjust” to select Main or Sub (page 49).

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 29).

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.

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.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

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