a b Front speakers (Left and Right)
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.
c Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front 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 speakers.
d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)
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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the listener.
f Subwoofer(s)
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.
g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)
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 to 3 feet (60 to
100 cm) above ear level.
i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front
speakers.
k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the
front speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html
about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Connections

Connecting the AV Controller
Connecting Your Speakers
The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller’s
PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
For 9.2-channel surround-sound playback, you need 9 speakers and 2 powered subwoofers.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respectively, or bi-amped 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 controller is able to feed up to 7.2 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R
outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the
“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 54).
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 only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV controller 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.

Video Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting
(➔ 50), 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).
To by-pass video upconversion in the AV controller, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and Return on the AV
controller. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press Return to toggle until “Skip” appears on the display. Release both buttons.
To use the video upconversion in the AV controller, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and
release the buttons.
■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”
Video input signals flow through the AV controller as
shown, with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog
RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted
for the HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect the
AV controller’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB,
respectively, to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room
Correction and 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. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you
to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, which maintains the
proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level
(➔ 59).
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔ 59), the “Equalizer”
setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔ 56). On the other
hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting
will be set to “Off” (➔ 60).
It takes about 30 minutes to complete
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker
Setup for 8 positions. Total measurement time varies
depending on the number of speakers.

Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32
Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to
8 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.
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 8 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.

Using RDS (Australian models)

Finding Stations by Type (PTY)
You can search for radio stations by type.

RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are
available.
When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator lights.

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 controller 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 Display 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 as
described in the next section.
■ PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type
(➔ 39).
■ TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that
broadcast traffic information (➔ 39).
Note

1
2
3
4

Press RT/PTY/TP twice.
The current program type appears on the display.
Use Preset e/r to select the type of program you
want.
See the table shown later in this chapter.
To start the search, press Enter.
The AV controller searches until it finds a station of
the type you specified, at which point it stops briefly
before continuing with the search.
When a station you want to listen to is found, press
Enter.
If no stations are found, the message “Not Found”
appears.

Listening to Traffic News (TP)
You can search for stations that broadcast traffic news.

1

2

Press RT/PTY/TP three times.
If the current radio station is broadcasting TP (Traffic Program), “[TP]” will appear on the display, and
traffic news will be heard as and when it’s broadcast.
If “TP” without square brackets appears, this means
that the station is not broadcasting TP.
To locate a station that is broadcasting TP, press
Enter.
The AV controller searches until it finds a station
that’s broadcasting TP.
If no stations are found, the message “Not Found”
appears.

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV controller
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.

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text
information, the text can be displayed.

Displaying Radio Text (RT)
Press RT/PTY/TP once.
The RT information scrolls across the display.
Note
• The message “Waiting” may appear while the AV controller
waits for the RT information.
• If the message “No Text Data” appears on the display, no RT
information is available.

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.

Connecting a Recording Component

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 (TV/CD, Phono,
etc.) is selected, the video input source remains
unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the TV/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.

L

R
AUDIO
IN

VIDEO
IN

Camcorder
VCR, DVD recorder

Cassette, CDR, MD,
etc.

Note
• The AV controller must be turned on for recording. Recording is
not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to
the recording VCR without going through the AV controller,
connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only
analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog
recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

In this mode, reverberation is increased and sound localization decreased
slightly.
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

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.
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 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.

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.

■ Reference Level
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® Reference Level Offset
` 0dB:
It should be used when listening to movies.
` 5dB:
Select this setting for content that has a very wide
dynamic range, such as classical music.
` 10dB:
Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a
wider dynamic range. This setting should also be
selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at
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 by Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the
0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the
mixers heard it.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard
film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the
volume is turned down from 0 dB. 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.
Note
• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be

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. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you
to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the
proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
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.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 to provide well-balanced
sound for every listener at any volume level.
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.

This can be selected when HDMI IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both HDMI (HDMI
IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN) have been assigned, HDMI input is automatically selected as a priority.
` COAX:
This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and
HDMI inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is
automatically selected as a priority.
` OPT:
This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both optical and
HDMI inputs have been assigned, optical input is
automatically selected as a priority.

By pressing Enter while selecting “HDMI”, “COAX”,
“OPT” in the “Audio Selector”, you can specify the input
signal in the Fixed Mode. Pressing Enter again allows
you to return to the “Audio Selector” setting.
Normally, the AV controller detects the signal format
automatically. However, if you experience either of the
following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you
can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS.
• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut
off, try setting the format to PCM.
• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a
DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
■ Fixed Mode
` Auto:
The format is detected automatically. If no digital
input signal is present, the corresponding analog
input is used instead.
` PCM:
Only 2-channel PCM format input signals will be
heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indicator will flash and noise may also be produced.
` DTS:
Only DTS (but not DTS-HD) format input signals
will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS
indicator will flash and there will be no sound.
Note
• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
• The setting will be reset to “Auto” when you change the setting
in the “Audio Selector”.

NET/USB
About NET
The AV controller is network-ready, which means you can
hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet
cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or
media server. If your network is connected to the Internet,
you can also enjoy Internet radio.

Network Requirements

Connecting the AV Controller
To connect the AV controller to your home network, plug
one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV
controller’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into
a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
AV controller to your home network. In this example, it’s
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port
100Base-TX switch built-in.

■ Ethernet Network
For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network
is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a
computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so wired connections are recommended.
■ Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying
IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV
controller needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP
supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them
to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the AV controller to your home network.
■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

LAN/Ethernet port

Computer or media server

Note
• To receive Internet radio with the AV controller, your broadband
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet
connection.
• The AV controller uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
see “Network Settings” (➔ 77).
• The AV controller does not support PPPoE settings, so if you
have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a
PPPoE-compatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV controller (➔ 77).

Network Settings
Note
• When modifying network settings, after modifying it is necessary to execute “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV controller’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 controller is set use
DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e.,
DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router’s DHCP
server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP
addresses, 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 controller, and other devices to
automatically configure themselves on a network.
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.

Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller’s
12V TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger
input on a connected component.
When several components are turned on simultaneously
by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of
components, a large amount of current may be drawn
momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals
A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger
delay is eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes
heard when a source component is turned on.
Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so
that it’s the last component to be turned on will accomplish this.

*1 This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-A2X RI Dock on or off. Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this
button, in which case you should press it again.
This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will
remain on when the remote controller transmits an On command.
Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.

Note
• 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, Pause, and so on
are preprogrammed with commands for controlling
Integra/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 (➔ 95).
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure.
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may
be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some
remotes that cannot be learned at all.
• 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.

■ Deleting Learning Commands
1. While holding down Remote Mode for the mode in
which you want to delete the command, press and hold
down TV 9 until Remote Mode button lights
(about 3 seconds).
2. Press Remote Mode or the button from which you

—

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

—

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 43–48
cannot be selected.

■ Can’t get 6.2/7.2 playback
If no surround back speakers, front wide and front
—
high speakers are connected, or the Zone 2/3 speakers are being used, 6.2/7.2 playback is not possible.

64

If the volume level of each individual speaker has
29, 55
been adjusted to high positive values, then the maximum master volume possible may be reduced. Note
that the individual speaker volume levels are set
automatically after Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room
Correction and Speaker Setup function has been

the input selector.
Make sure that the multichannel input is selected.

70

Check the audio output settings on your source com- —
ponent.

■ About DTS signals
When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- —
stream stops, the AV controller 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 controller does not switch formats immediately,
you may not hear any sound, in which case you
should stop your player for about three seconds, and
then resume playback.
With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to —
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the AV controller. This is usually because the DTS bitstream
has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,
or frequency response changed) and the AV controller 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.

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN
can’t be heard
—
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

You can not always select all of the listening modes, 43–48
depending on the number of the speakers connected.

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/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 controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, so only HDCP-compatible components
can display the picture.
The AV controller’s HDMI interface is based on the following:
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

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 (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD
Master Audio)
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection
The AV controller supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV controller via HDMI must also support HDCP.

*1
*2
*3

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
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.
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.

Note
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by
using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for
audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or
there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for
details.
