Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• 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 “4ohms” (➔ page 66). 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.

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

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

Note

• If the “11ch Playback” setting is set to “Yes”, no sound is output

from the FRONT WIDE terminals.

En-14

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

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

About Speakers A and Speakers B

Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each speaker configuration. Each configuration has its own pair of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer, center, surround, front high, and surround back speakers, as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when watching a DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair of stereo speakers (2-channels).

Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally, biamped, or connected to speakers without crossover network, but cannot be bi-amped and connected to speakers without crossover network at the same time. For example, if Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only be wired normally.

See also:

• “Speaker Settings” (➔ page 66)

• “Speaker Configuration” (➔ page 67)

• “Selecting Speaker Layout” (➔ page 55)

The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to suit your exact requirements and application. Two typical applications are shown below.

Note

• You cannot set speaker impedance individually for Speakers A and Speakers B.

Connections

Using Speakers Without Crossover Network

Important:

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

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

Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance. When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room. Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as

shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 66).

Note

• Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally or biamped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time.

Important:

• Speakers without crossover network are speakers with no built-in crossover network.

• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to connect tweeters and woofers the wrong way around, as this may damage your speakers.

• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to set “Speakers Type(Front A)” or “Speakers Type(Front B)” to “Bi-Amp” as this may damage your speakers. Make sure that this setting is set to “Digital Crossover”.

• Confirm that your speakers are without crossover network by referring to your speaker manual.

Connecting speakers without crossover network provide a fine, three-dimensional sound field that extends bass and treble performance to the fullest extent. When speakers without crossover network are used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room. You must enable “Digital Crossover” in “Speakers Type(Front A)” or “Speakers Type(Front B)” (➔ page 66) and make the settings of “Digital

Processing Crossover Network” (➔ page 71).

Note

• You need to make the setting before connecting the speakers.

• Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally or connected to speakers without crossover network, but cannot be connected to speakers without crossover network at the same time.

Using Basic Functions

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ®XT32 automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (➔ page 76). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration” uses the measurement from eight positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from eight positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 20 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

and

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to eight positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

■ First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

■ Second-eighth 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.

Changing the Speaker Setup Manually

You can manually make changes to the settings found during Audyssey MultEQ®XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup. See also:

• “Speaker Configuration” (➔ page 67)

• “Speaker Distance” (➔ page 69)

• “Level Calibration” (➔ page 69)

• “Equalizer Settings” (➔ page 70)

Note

• Please note that THX recommends any THX main speakers be set to “80Hz(THX)”. If you set up your speakers using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover (➔ page 67).

• 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 and it outputs very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be detected by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1-channel sound with two additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1channel sources.

Speaker Configuration

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ Speaker Setup function (➔ page 42). For Speakers B, you need to change the settings manually.

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. You can set the crossover frequencies, distances, and levels of the front speakers A and front speakers B independently. The other speakers (i.e., subwoofer, center, surround, surround back and front high) use the same crossover frequencies, distances, and levels for Speakers A and Speakers B. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low frequency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum crossover frequencies. If you set up your speakers using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover.

The HDMI connection in your system is used to deliver uncompressed digital audio and video information from one device to the next. There is also additional information about this digital content that can be delivered. Such additional information is referred to as “metadata”. Metadata Compatible mode should be used when there are home theater components in your system, such as Blu-ray disc players, set top boxes and displays that use this additional metadata. For example, Metadata Compatible mode should be set to ON when there are THX Media Director™ Enabled devices in the system. This ensures that this additional information can be received by your Onkyo AVR and can be sent to other devices that are connected in your home theater system, with no interruption.

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

Digital Processing Crossover Network

Digital Crossover provides a separate routing system by splitting the audio signal into separate frequency bands optimized for each speaker driver. It provides a fine, threedimensional sound field that extend each driver’s performance to the uppermost. With its built-in time alignment function, this system also adjusts the sound shifting that occurs when there is a physical offset between sound drivers. At a digital processing level, it corrects this offset by delaying the related audio signal. Although this function is meant for speakers without crossover network, it can also be used with bi-amped speakers.

Tip

• This setting can be done while listening to an audio source.

• Press MODE/D (Blue) to switch from the current audio source to test noises. Pressing MODE/D (Blue) again or the cursor buttons will stop the test noises and switch back to the original audio source.

Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in volume levels which can occur between different contents or source components, freeing the user from having to make volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the frequency balance according to the playback volume, it recreates the original source audio. Dolby Volume therefore provides comfortable listening, effectively controlling the volume level difference without unnatural changes in volume or sound quality to recreate the balance and nuance of the source audio.

■ Half Mode

` Off ` On

The Half Mode parameter turns Dolby Volume Half Mode processing on and off.

In off mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds reference level. This enables a more perceptually flat listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however, prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher gain levels.

Note

• If the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be selected.

• During Half Mode on playback, Dolby Volume does not apply a bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds reference level, thereby boosting perception of high and low frequencies.

Dialogue Normalization

Dialogue Normalization (DialogNorm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, which is used to keep the programs at the same average listening level so the user does not have to change the volume control between Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read “DialogNorm: X dB” (X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the volume. For example, if you see the following message: “DialogNorm: + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment.

10 dB below film reference.

` 15dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other

program material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range. Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater

system each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated

However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Network

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually. If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

Advanced Operations

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case

63.148.251.142.

■ MAC Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

■ DHCP

` Enable ` Disable

This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

Note

• If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

■ IP Address

` Class A:

“10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255”

` Class B:

“172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255”

` Class C:

“192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255”

Enter a static IP address provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

Learning Commands

The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the supplied remote controller can learn it and

then reproduce the exact same command when its 1 is pressed in CD remote mode. This is useful when some buttons don’t work as expected though you entered the appropriate remote control code (➔ page 95).

8RECEIVER

REMOTE

MODE

While holding down the REMOTE MODE button

for the mode in which you want to use the command, press and hold down 8RECEIVER

until the REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).

On the supplied remote controller, press the

button to which you want to assign the new command.

Point the remote controllers at each other, within

about 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and then press and hold the button whose command you want to acquire until the REMOTE MODE button flashes.

If the command is learned successfully, the REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

To learn more commands, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Press any REMOTE MODE button when you’ve finished. The REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

Note

• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:

8RECEIVER, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC, REMOTE MODE, MODE.

• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of memory are learned.

• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, and Pause 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 at any time by resetting the remote controller (➔ page 96).

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

• Depending on the remote controller used, some buttons may not respond as expected, or the learning process itself may not be possible.

• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be acquired.

Controlling Other Components

• When the remote controller runs out of batteries, all commands acquired will be lost and will have to be learned all over again. Therefore, do not discard your other remote controllers.

■ Deleting Acquired Commands

1. While holding down the REMOTE MODE button for

the mode from which you want to delete a command, press and hold down 8TV until the REMOTE MODE

button lights (about 3 seconds).

2. Press the REMOTE MODE button or the button from

which you want to delete the command. The REMOTE MODE button flashes twice. When you press the REMOTE MODE button, all commands learned in that mode will be deleted.

Controlling Other Components

Using Normal Macros

You can program the remote controller’s ACTIVITIES to perform a sequence of remote control actions.

Example:

To play a CD you typically need to perform the following actions:

1. Press RECEIVER to select the Receiver remote

controller mode.

2. Press 8RECEIVER to turn on the AV receiver.

3. Press TV/CD to select the TV/CD input source.

4. Press 1 to start playback on the CD player. You can program ACTIVITIES so that all four actions are

performed with just one button press.

Making Macros

Each ACTIVITIES can store one macro, and each macro can contain up to 32 commands.

ALL OFF

MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC

RECEIVER

When you’ve finished, press ACTIVITIES again.

ACTIVITIES button flashes twice. If you enter 32 commands, the process will finish automatically.

Note

• MODE cannot be operated during the macro-making process.

• Once you assign new macro commands, the previously registered macro will no longer work. If you wish to retrieve it, you will have to reassign the commands with the macro-making.

Running Macros

Press MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC.

The commands in the macro are transmitted in the order in which they were programmed. Keep the remote controller pointed at the AV receiver until all of the commands have been transmitted.

Macros can be run at any time, regardless of the current remote controller mode.

Deleting Macros

While holding down HOME, press and hold down

ALL OFF until ALL OFF lights (about 3 seconds). Press ALL OFF again.

ALL OFF flashes twice.

While holding down RECEIVER, press and hold

down MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC until MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC lights (about

3 seconds). Press the buttons whose actions you want to

program into the macro in the order you want them performed.

For the CD example above, you would press the following buttons: 8RECEIVER, TV/CD, 1.

Note

• When Normal macros are deleted, ACTIVITIES are restored to their default settings, namely the Easy macro commands (➔ page 56).

• When using Normal macros, Easy macros cannot be used, which includes changing the source components.
