About Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

Enjoying Home Theater

Front left and right speakers

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

Center speaker

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

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

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown.

Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

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.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, 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.

THX recommends that they be placed as close as possible in order to make advantage of their proprietary ASA (Advanced Speaker Array) technology. If this condition is not possible, adjust the Surr Back Sp Spacing setting via the THX Audio Setup. (See page 83.)

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier

• 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/AV amplifier’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

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

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (P

R, PB), providing the best

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

S-Video cable

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

Composite video cable

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

Audio

Cable Jack Description

Optical digital audio cable

Offers the best sound quality and allows you to enjoy surround sound (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS). The audio quality is the same as for coaxial.

Coaxial digital audio cable

Offers the best sound quality and allows you to enjoy surround sound (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS). The audio quality is the same as for optical.

Analog audio cable (RCA)

This cable carries analog audio. It’s the most common connection format for analog audio, and can be found on virtually all AV components.

Multichannel analog audio cable (RCA)

This cable carries multichannel analog audio and it’s typically used to connect DVD players with a

7.1-channel analog audio output. Several standard analog audio cables can be used instead of a multichannel cable.

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

Speaker Configuration

For the best surround sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer. The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

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

the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS 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 by using the supplied speaker setup microphone (see page 54).

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 the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

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

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification (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.

Using the Speaker Terminal Tool

The supplied speaker terminal tool makes it easy to tighten and loosen the speaker terminals. If you are using banana plugs, to ensure optimum sound quality, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug. (In Europe, using banana plugs to connect speakers to an audio amplifier is prohibited.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• North American models: Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Other models: You can connect speakers with an 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 46). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

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

• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR SPEAKERS terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

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

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier.

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

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the bare wires.

The FRONT SPEAKERS L/R and SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or biamped 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/AV amplifier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT SPEAKERS L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK SPEAKERS 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/AV amplifier, you must set the Speakers Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable biamping (see page 46).

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 Speaker Hookup

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

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.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 26).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

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

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 26).

Connecting Antenna (TX-SR705 only)

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■ North American models

■ Other models

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.

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

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

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

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, 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.

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver/AV amplifier, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the AV receiver/AV amplifier.

The AV receiver/AV amplifier 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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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. The AV receiver/AV amplifier can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.

For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 93).

■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use this setting if you connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI OUT to your TV. The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to No

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to No (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this setting if you connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to your TV. Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is downconverted to composite video. Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs. The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM). The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*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/AV amplifier uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

, so only HDCP-compatible

components can display the picture.

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

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

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier via HDMI must also support HDCP. Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

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

protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open

industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Connecting Components with HDMI

The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a

Making HDMI Connections

■ 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 27 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/AV amplifier. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 95).

Note:

When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver/AV amplifier, 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/AV amplifier). 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/AV amplifier or the sound may be cut off.

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 95), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Note:

• When the HDMI Audio setting is set to On (see page 95), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver/AV amplifier volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s volume.

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’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 48).

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

■ Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver/AV amplifier is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver/AV amplifier is set to Standby, all components connected via will also go on Standby.

■ Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver/AV amplifier automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 60), as the Direct Change function only selects the DVD FRONT L/R jacks.

■ Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 105).

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/AV amplifier. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable components.

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

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

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

This port is for connecting the AV receiver/AV amplifier to home automation equipment and external controllers.

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

• Turning on the AV receiver/AV amplifier may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver/AV amplifier into a different branch circuit.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV receiver/AV amplifier. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the AV receiver/AV amplifier and should not be used with any other equipment.

• Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver/AV amplifier while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the AV receiver/AV amplifier.

Connecting Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is

connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (see pages 29 to

With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the Audyssey MultEQ XT function can measure the number of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and the distance from each speaker to the listening position and calculate the optimal speaker settings for your listening environment automatically. Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight positions within the listening area.

■ 1st measurement point

This is the center position of your listening area, or the listening position if there’s only one listener.

■ 2nd

−8th measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to eight positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.

Reviewing the Results Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

In some situations, the measurements taken by the automatic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running the speaker setup a second time still doesn’t provide usable results, you’ll have to set the speaker settings manually (see pages 77–83).

Notes:

• Please note that any THX main speakers should be set to Small [80 Hz (THX)]. If you set up your speakers using the Automatic Speaker Setup function, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to Small with 80 Hz (THX) crossover (see page 77).

• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level and the distance of the subwoofer manually.

• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the main speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. If the subwoofer (SW) appears on the SP Detect Result 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 automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

Listening to the Radio (TX-SR705 only)

With the built-in tuner you can enjoy AM and FM radio stations. You can store your favorite stations as presets for quick selection.

Listening to the Radio

Tuning into Radio Stations

■ Auto Tuning Mode

When tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator appears. When tuned into a stereo FM station, the FM STEREO indicator appears on the display, as shown.

■ Manual Tuning Mode

The North American models change FM frequency in

0.2 MHz steps, 10 kHz steps for AM. For other models it’s 0.05 MHz steps for FM and 9 kHz steps for AM. In Manual Tuning mode, FM stations will be in mono.

Tuning into weak FM stereo stations

If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be impossible to get good reception. In this case, switch to Manual Tuning mode and listen to the station in mono.

■ Tuning into Stations by Frequency

You can tune into AM and FM stations directly by entering the appropriate frequency.

Using the Tuner

Use the [TUNER] input selector button to select either AM or FM.

In this example, FM has been selected. Each time you press the [TUNER] button, the input source changes between AM and FM.

(Actual display depends on country)

Listening to the Radio (TX-SR705 only)—Continued

RDS only works with European models and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available. When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator appears.

■ What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.). The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 65).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 65).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 65).

Notes:

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

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

Pure Audio

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

Direct

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

Stereo

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

Mono

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

Dolby Pro Logic 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 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.

Dolby TrueHD

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels with 192 kHz sampling rate. For the signals supported by the AV receiver/AV amplifier, see page 69.

5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music

These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie

These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to

5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for highfidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/

7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener.

•Neo:6 Cinema

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• Neo:6 Music

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

5.1-channel source + Neo:6

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for

6.1/7.1-channel playback.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.

DTS-HD Master Audio

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels with 192 kHz sampling rate. For the signals supported by the AV receiver/AV amplifier, see page 70.

Neural THX 5.1/7.1

Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX

5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games. Neural-THX Surround can also be used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surroundsound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo. XM Satellite Radio, for example, is using Neural-THX Surround on select channels, which the AV receiver/AV amplifier can expand from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.

DSD

DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multichannel audio.

THX

Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended.

• THX Cinema

This mode is for watching movies, which are typically recorded and edited on the assumption that they will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater. It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the smaller home-theater environment. It can be used with 2-channel sources processed with other formats, and multichannel sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected listening mode.

• THX Select2 Cinema

This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1channel sources for 7.1-channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the surround source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output. This is a new and improved mode especially for home theater use.

• THX Music Mode

This mode is designed for use with music. It expands

5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

• THX Games Mode

This mode is designed for use with video games. It can expand 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources for

6.1/7.1-channel playback.

• THX Surround EX

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

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

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

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

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, 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)

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.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Notes:

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

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input.

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

• Digital input signals are output by only the digital outputs, and analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.

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

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

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 27 to 43 for hookup information.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged. In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

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

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

On your recorder, start recording.

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press the [AUX] input selector button.

Press the [CD] input selector button.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Note:

The tone control settings do not apply to the THX listening modes.

Multiplex/Mono Settings

■ Multiplex Input Ch

This setting determines which channel is output from a stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Main: The main channel is output (default).

Sub: The sub channel is output.

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

■ Mono Input Ch

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

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

(default).

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

■ Output Speaker

This setting determines which speakers output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is selected.

L/R: Mono audio is output by the front left and right

speakers.

PLIIx/Neo:6 Music Mode Settings

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

■ Panorama

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

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

■ Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it backward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward.

■ Center Width

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

■ 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 is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby EX Input Signal Setting

■ Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus only.

Aut o: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag,

the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening mode is used (default).

Manual: You can select any available listening mode.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Listening Setting

■ Listening Angle

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

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).

LFE Level Settings

With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for Dolby Digital, DTS, multichannel PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTSHD Master Audio, and DSD sources. The level can be set to –

∞, –20 dB, –10 dB, or 0 dB (default).

If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to –20 dB or –

∞, dB.

■ Dolby Digital

Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital sources.

■ DTS

Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS sources.

■ Multich PCM

Sets the level of the LFE channel for multichannel PCM sources. (Multichannel PCM is input via HDMI.)

■ Dolby TrueHD

Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby TrueHD sources.

■ DTS-HD Master Audio

Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS-HD Master Audio sources.

■ DSD

Sets the level of the LFE channel for DSD (SACD) sources.

Using a Receiver/Integrated Amp in Zone 2

With this connection method, you can use 7.1 surround sound in the main room and play a different AV source in Zone 2. The volume for Zone 2 is set on the receiver/ integrated amp.

• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver/ AV amplifier’s ZONE 2 LINE OUT L/R jacks to an

analog audio input on your receiver/integrated amp.

• Connect the Zone 2 speakers to the speaker terminals

on the receiver/integrated amp.

Using Only Speakers in Zone 2

With this connection method, you can use 5.1 surround sound in the main room and play a different AV source in Zone 2. The volume for Zone 2 is set on the AV receiver/AV amplifier.

• Set the Powered Zone2 setting to “Act” (see page 100).

• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals.

Zone 2 12V Trigger

When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 100 milliamperes max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 2 will make that component turn on or off as and when Zone 2 is turned on or off on the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
