Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

Video signal will be output if you use any one of COMPONENT, S, or composit terminals. However, you are recommended to match the type of video terminals for connection between video devices (ex. DVD player and VCR), TX-SR701/701E/601/601E and TV/monitor.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. TX-SR701/701E/601/601E also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

•The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

VIDEO IN/OUT, S VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are four video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S video conﬁgurations.

Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the video outputs to make video recordings.

•When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).

•The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

The ﬂow of the video signals is as follows:

The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S video connections.

Notes:

•If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack, MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal from the source component is input through the component video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input from the component video connectors can only be output from the component video connectors.

•For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT jacks, see page 16.

REMOTE CONTROL

The terminal on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same terminal. When a component is connected to the terminal, it can be operated by the remote controller supplied with the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E. In addition, when you connect a component to the terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.

Power on/ready function

When the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is in the standby state, if an -connected component is turned on, the TX-SR701/701E/601/ 601E also turns on and the input source selected at the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E automatically switches to that component.

Be aware that this function will not work if the power cord for the - connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on the TXSR701/701E/601/601E, or if the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E has already been turned on.

Direct change function

When the play button is pressed at an -connected component, the input source selected at the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E automatically changes to that component.

Power off function

When the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is placed in the standby state, all -connected components are also automatically put into the standby state.

Also, if you press the ON button on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E remote controller while the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is turned on, all -connected components (DVD players, CD players, MD recorders, tuners, etc.) are also turned on.

Dimmer function

The Dimmer function (display brightness adjustment) of the TXSR701/701E/601/601E can be used to synchronize the display brightness on the connected device using the connection.

Caution:

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E, switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see page 43).

To connect components using the terminal, simply connect a remote control cable from this terminal to the terminal of the other component. An remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that has an terminal.

•When performing operations with -connected components using the system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2) .

•For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

•If a component has two terminals, you can use either one to connect to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

•With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-program code

so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote controller without connecting the terminals (see page 67).

Connecting speakers

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the conﬁguration and placement of your speakers are both very important.

Standard speaker setup for surround sound

•Front right and left speakers

Produces a basic sound image.

•Center speaker

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

•Surround right and left speakers

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

•Surround back speaker

Required for enjoying Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX (TX-SR701/701E only), or DTS-ES audio.

Improves the quality of sound effects and the realistic acoustics.

•Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker conﬁguration for surround sound playback

•Front right and left speakers

•Surround right and left speakers

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

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical examples of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

•Place these three speakers all at the same height.

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

•Place front left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back speakers

•Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

• (TX-SR701/701E only) When using		10

surround back left and right
speakers, place them behind the
listener so that the angles between
the lines from each speaker to the
listener and a line straight back from
	8		9
the listener are less than 30 degrees.

Subwoofer

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those characteristics also depends on the shape of your listening room as well as your listening point. Generally speaking, good bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in the corner of the room or at one-third the length of the room.
