9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades

with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug

has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide

blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table speci-

fied by the manufacturer, or

sold with the apparatus. When

a cart is used, use caution

when moving the cart/appara-

tus combination to avoid

injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Ser-

vicing is required when the apparatus has been dam-

aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has

been dropped.

15. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the fol-

lowing conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the apparatus,

C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,

D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by fol-

lowing the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the apparatus to its normal operation,

E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and

F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

16. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus

through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-

age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire

Always consider the environmental issues and follow

local regulations when disposing of batteries.

18. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,

such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is ade-

quate ventilation.

Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and

10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or

board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4")

away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like

gap for warm air to escape.

About Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’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 Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and

Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP lis-

tening modes.

You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

Enjoying Home Theater

abFront speakers (Left and Right)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-

vide 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.

cCenter 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.

deSurround speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-

istic 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.

fSubwoofer(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.

ghSurround 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.

ijFront 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.

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.

Connections

Connecting the AV Receiver

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need 7

speakers and a powered subwoofer.

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

the SURR BACK L terminals.

*2 Front high, surround back and front wide speakers cannot be

used at the same time.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer 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. You can do this automati-

cally (➔28) or manually (➔51).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red (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 table above. Then all

you need to do is to match the color of each label to the

corresponding speaker terminal.

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”

(➔51). 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 con-

tact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker ter-

minal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using Banana Plugs (North American models)

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

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 SURR BACK L terminals.

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of

insulation from the ends of the

speaker cables, and twist the bare

wires tightly, as shown.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround

back 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 dipole

speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point

toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speak-

ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward

each other, as shown.

Connecting the Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on

your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your sub-

woofer is unpowered and you’re using an external

amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

jack to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.

The same signal is output from each jack.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be

used with front speakers and surround back speakers respec-

tively, 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 receiver is able to drive up to

a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the

front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R ter-

minal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown

below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the “Speak-

ers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping

(➔51).

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 bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Restoring Default

With the supplied calibrated microphone,

Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number

of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass man-

agement, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer

(if present), and distances from the primary listening posi-

tion.

Audyssey MultEQ 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 every-

one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use

Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, which maintains the proper

octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (➔56).

Before using this function, connect and position all of

your speakers.

If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔56), the “Equalizer”

setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔53). On the other

hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting

will be set to “Off” (➔56).

It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ

Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 6 positions. Total

measurement time varies depending on the number of

speakers.

Using Audyssey MultEQ

Using Audyssey MultEQ to create a listening environment

in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,

Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six posi-

tions 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 nor-

mally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses

the measurements from this position to calculate

speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum cross-

over value for the subwoofer.

■Second−Sixth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places

where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up

to 6 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.

My Music:

1. The playback component assigned to TV/CD of

Remote Mode turns on.

2. The AV receiver turns on.

3. The input selector of the AV receiver is set to

TV/CD.

4. Playback begins on playback component

assigned to TV/CD.*1

Note

• After pressing one of the Activities, you cannot use other

Activities until the assigned actions have been com-

pleted.

• If you wish to use another of the Activities after starting,

press All Off and then press the desired Activities.

Press All Off.

The playback component assigned to the last-

pressed Activities, the AV receiver, and the TV turn

off.*2

While holding down Remote Mode for the rele-

vant playback component, press and hold down

Activities to which you wish to assign this compo-

nent for about 3 seconds.

Activities will flash twice, indicating that the

change is complete.

Examples:

If you wished to use My Movie to start the playback

component assigned to VCR/DVR of Remote

Mode, you would press and hold down My Movie

for about 3 seconds while pressing down VCR/DVR

of Remote Mode.

Tip

• This procedure can also be performed via onscreen menu

(➔94).

1While holding down Home, press and hold down

All Off until All Off lights (about 3 seconds).

2Release Home and All Off and press All Off

again.

Setting Up the SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner

The optional SiriusConnect Home tuner kit includes

everything for easy home installation, including the Sirius-

Connect receiver, indoor/outdoor antenna with 21-foot

cable, 8-pin mini DIN connector cable, and an AC power

adapter. See the SiriusConnect Home tuner’s instructions

for more information.

Use the 8-pin mini DIN connector cable to connect the

SiriusConnect receiver to the SIRIUS jack on the rear of

the AV receiver.

To use the included antenna indoors, you must place it at a

north-, west-, or east-facing window, depending on where

you live. If this isn’t possible, you’ll need to install it out-

side, away from any overhead obstructions.

Positioning the Antenna

For a consistent satellite signal, the antenna must be posi-

tioned correctly. Use the following map to determine

which area you are in and position the antenna accord-

ingly.

Area 1: Point the antenna toward the sky in the east,

northeast, or southeast, either through a window or out-

side.

Area 2: Point the antenna toward the sky in the north or

northeast, either through a window or outside.

Area 3: Point the antenna toward the sky in the north or

northwest, either through a window or outside.

Area 4: Point the antenna toward the sky in the west,

northwest, or southwest, either through a window or out-

side.

Area 5: Put the antenna outside and point it straight up.

The antenna cannot be used indoors.

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 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. Press-

ing 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

(➔38).

■TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast traffic information (➔38).

Note

• 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.

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text

information, the text can be displayed.

Displaying Radio Text (RT)

Note

•The message “Waiting” may appear while the AV receiver waits

for the RT information.

• If the message “No Text Data” appears on the display, no RT

information is available.

Finding Stations by Type (PTY)

You can search for radio stations by type.

Listening to Traffic News (TP)

You can search for stations that broadcast traffic news.

Using RDS (Australian models)

RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are

available.

Press RT/PTY/TP once.

The RT information scrolls across the display.

1Press RT/PTY/TP twice.

The current program type appears on the display.

2Use Preset e/r to select the type of program you

want.

See the table shown later in this chapter.

3To start the search, press Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station of

the type you specified, at which point it stops briefly

before continuing with the search.

4When a station you want to listen to is found, press

Enter.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found”

appears.

1Press RT/PTY/TP three times.

If the current radio station is broadcasting TP (Traf-

fic 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.

2To locate a station that is broadcasting TP, press

Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station that’s

broadcasting TP.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found”

appears.

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

Note

• The AV receiver 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 receiver, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied 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.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette

deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g.,

VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT

jack.

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 con-

nected 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.

1Use the input selector buttons to select the source

that you want to record.

You can watch the source while recording. The AV

receiver’s Master Volume control has no effect on

recording.

2On your recorder, start recording.

3On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording,

that input source will be recorded.

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

■Speaker Layout

The illustration shows which speakers are activated in each channel. See “Speaker Configuration” for the speaker setup

(➔51).

About Listening Modes

AThis is mono (monophonic) sound.

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

speakers.

DThis is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth sub-

woofer channel (called the point-one channel).

FThis 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.

GThis 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.

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

sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx*2

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel play-

back. 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.

SXCN

•Dolby PLIIx Movie and Dolby PLIIx Music

These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes to expand 5.1-channel

sources for 7.1-channel playback.

Dolby Pro Logic IIz

Height

Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing

program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby

Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies

and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.

N*3

Dolby EX These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

They’re especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-

encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimen-

sion and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for

rotating and fly-by sound effects.

N*4

DTS-ES Discrete*8 This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a dis-

crete 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 DTS-ES logo, especially those with

a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

DTS-ES Matrix*8 This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-

encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that

bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

DTS Neo:6 This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 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).

S XCN

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel

playback.

Audyssey DSX*9 Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve sur-

round impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds Wide

channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing

has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in

the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels

found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height

channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual

cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX

applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the

front and surround channels.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic II and Audyssey DSX modes can be

used.

The combination of Neo:6 Cinema/Music and Audyssey DSX modes can

be used.

THX Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure

movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the direc-

tor intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial character-

istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater environment.

They can be used with 2-channel matrixed and multichannel sources. Sur-

round back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected

listening mode.

Orchestra Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround

channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural rever-

beration of a large hall.

CN*10

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.

Game-RPG Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action Use this mode when playing action game discs.

Game-Rock Use this mode when playing rock game discs.

Game-Sports Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

All Ch Stereo Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with ste-

reo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

XCN*10

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 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.

uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-

tom center). This setting controls the front left, right,

and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the

center channel sound.

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 cer-

tain 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 regard-

less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-

matically 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.

Audyssey

When Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker

Setup is complete, the “Equalizer” (➔53) will be set to

“Audyssey” and the “Dynamic EQ” will be set to “On”.

■Dynamic EQ

`Off:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® off.

`On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (➔9).

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great

sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking

into account human perception and room acoustics. It

does so by selecting the correct frequency response and

surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the

content sounds the way it was created at any volume

level — not just at reference level.

Note

• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be

selected.

■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 pro-

gram material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer-

ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the-

ater 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 cali-

brated by Audyssey MultEQ will play at reference level

when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB posi-

tion. 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 ref-

erence response and surround envelopment when the

volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-

ence 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

selected.

■Dynamic Volume

`Off:

Audyssey Dynamic Volume® off.

`Light:

Light Compression Mode becomes active.

`Medium:

Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

`Heavy:

Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This set-

ting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to

be of equal loudness.

Note

• Even if you have selected other than “Audyssey” in “Equalizer”

setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction

and Speaker Setup, selecting “On” in the “Dynamic EQ” will

change the “Equalizer” setting to “Audyssey” (➔53).

• If you would like to use Audyssey Dynamic Volume, when

using THX listening modes, set “Loudness Plus” setting to

“Off” (➔53) and set “Preserve THX Settings” setting to “No”

(➔54).

•When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, “Equalizer” is set

to “Audyssey” (➔53) and “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On”.

When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume”

becomes “Off” automatically.

•When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, the Dynamic Vol

indicator will light (➔9).

• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be

selected.

Audyssey MultEQ 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 every-

one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ 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 deterio-

rating 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 con-

stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines

information from incoming source levels with actual

output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-

ering a loudness correction solution.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey MultEQ® 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. When-

ever 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.

NET/USB

The AV receiver 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

■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, play-

back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-

mended.

■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 sev-

eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-

neously via a single Internet connection. The AV

receiver 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 recom-

mended.

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 con-

nect the AV receiver 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 recom-

mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please

consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Note

• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, 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 receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings

automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,

see “Network Settings” (➔73).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have

a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com-

patible 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 receiver (➔73).

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug

one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV

receiver’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 receiver 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.

To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV

receiver to a network with Internet access (➔67).

You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the

AV receiver from your computer and selecting stations in

your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.

Internet radio URLs in the following formats are sup-

ported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depend-

ing on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet

radio station, you may not be able to listen to some sta-

tions.

Note

• If you’re using a narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K

modem or ISDN), depending on the station, Internet radio may

not work satisfactorily. For best results, use a broadband connec-

tion (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).

Listening to vTuner Internet Radio

This unit includes the full vTuner Internet Radio Service

at no additional charge. Once you have connected your

unit to the Internet you can select vTuner Internet Radio to

search for and play Internet radio stations and podcasts at

any time. To enhance your Internet radio experience, the

http://onkyo.vtuner.com/ portal is available to you as an

easy way to browse to find stations, set up/organize your

favorites, add your own stations, get help, etc. After the

first time you try Internet radio/vTuner on your unit you

sary to execute “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 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 receiver, 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.

Zone first.

•Zone turns red while Zone 2 is on, and green while Zone 3 is on.

Note

• Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2/3 PRE

OUT and FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R terminals. Digital input

sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source

is selected, check if it’s connected to an analog input.

• You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your

main room and Zone 2/3. The same AM/FM radio station will be

heard in each room. For example, if you have an FM station for

the main room, that station will also be used in Zone 2.

• When you connect Zone 2 speakers directly to the AV receiver,

listening modes that require surround back speakers or front high

speakers or front wide speakers (6.1/7.1), such as Dolby Digital

EX, DTS-ES, THX Select2 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIz

steps.

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V

trigger-capable components automatically when they are

selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that

they activate when a connected component is selected as

the input source for the main room, Zone 2, Zone 3 or any

combination of rooms. When triggered, the output from a

12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts and 150 milli-

amperes max. at TRIGGER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 mil-

liamperes max. at TRIGGER OUT B and C).

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.

Using the 12V Triggers

Hookup

• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV receiver’s 12V TRIG-

GER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger input on a con-

nected component.

6When you’ve finished, press Setup.

The setup menu closes.

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller

while you’re in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you’ll need a commer-

cially available multiroom remote control kit for each

zone.

• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.

These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line of

sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when it’s

installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2/3

In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2/3 picks up the

infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them

through to the AV receiver in the main room via the con-

necting block.

The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be

connected to the AV receiver’s IR IN A or B jack, as

shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up to

two IR receivers can be connected.

Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals

from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV

receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other

Components

In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV

receiver’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other

component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals

received at the AV receiver’s IR IN A or B jack are fed

through to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals

picked up by the AV receiver’s remote control sensor are

not output.

The IR emitter should be connected to the AV receiver’s

IR OUT jack, as shown below.

automatically after Audyssey MultEQ® Room Cor-

rection and Speaker Setup function has been com-

pleted.

28, 52

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

—

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

—

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-

stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-

ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is

to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for-

ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you

switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the

AV receiver does not switch formats immediately,

you may not hear any sound, in which case you

should stop your player for about 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

receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver

doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such

cases, you may hear noise.

—

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

a malfunction.

—

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

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 compo-

nents. 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, multichan-

nel 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 uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, 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 (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 receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

*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.

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.

The AV receiver’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

105

Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Integra/

Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system con-

trol over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however,

operation with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

■About p-compatible components

The following components are p-compatible. (As

of February 2010) See the Onkyo web site for latest infor-

mation.

• Panasonic VIERA Link compatible TV

• Toshiba REGZA-LINK compatible TV

• Sharp TV (See Onkyo web site for latest information on

compatible models.)

Players/Recorders

• Onkyo and Integra p-compatible players

ers (only when used together with Panasonic VIERA

Link compatible TV)

• Toshiba REGZA-LINK compatible players and record-

ers (only when used together with Toshiba REGZA-

LINK compatible TV)

• Sharp players and recorders (only when used together

with Sharp TV)

*Models other than those mentioned above may have some

interoperability if compatible with CEC which is part of the

HDMI Standard, but operation cannot be guaranteed.

Note

• Do not connect the p-compatible component more than

the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the

linked operations work properly.

–Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is up to three.

–Blu-ray Disc recorder/DVD recorder/Digital Video Recorder is

up to three.

–Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.

• Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver/AV

amplifier via HDMI.

•When the p-compatible component more than the

above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not

guaranteed.

■Operations that can be performed with p

connection

For p-compatible TV

The following linked operation is possible by connecting

the AV receiver to an p-compatible TV.

• The AV receiver will enter Standby mode when the

power of the TV is turned to Standby.

• You can set on the menu screen of the TV to either out-

put the audio from the speakers connected to the AV

receiver, or from the speakers of the TV.

• It is possible to output the video/audio from the antenna

or from the input jack of the TV from the speakers con-

nected to the AV receiver. (A connection such as optical

digital cable or similar is required above the HDMI

cable.)

• Input to the AV receiver can be selected with the remote

controller of the TV.

• Operations such as volume adjustment or similar for the

AV receiver can be performed from the remote controller

of the TV.

For p-compatible players/recorders

The following link operation is possible by connecting the

AV receiver to an p-compatible player/recorder.

• When the playback is started on the player/recorder,

input of the AV receiver will switch to the HDMI input

of the player/recorder that is playing back.

• Operation of the player/recorder is possible with the

remote controller supplied with the AV receiver.

*Not all functions may operate depending on the model.
