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 lerminals for connection between video devices (ex.

DVD player and VCR), TX-SR701/701E/601/60I E and TV/monitor.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices thai have component video

connectors, the TX-SR7OI/701E/6OI/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.

VIDE() IN/OUT, S VIDE() IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and oulputs. 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

recoMing components to the video outputs to make video

recoMings.

•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 tile video signals is as tbllows:

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.

No_s:

• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is

connecled only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO .jack,

MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal

from the souxce 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.

'Ihe AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction

and position whexe you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away

as possible from the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, televisions,

speaker cables, and power cords.

If the reception is not very clear with the attached AM indoor

antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Hint:

Either of the split ends of the AM antenna can be connected to

either terminal. Unlike speaker cabling, there is no polarily for AM

broadcast signals.

Connecting antennas

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna

Make sure to follow the general rules given below:

• Keep the antenna away fiom noise sources (neon signs, busy

roads, elc.).

• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to _ower lines. Keep it

well away from power lines, transformers, etc.

Directional linkage

Do not use the same anlenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)

reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can inlerfere with

each other. If you must use a common FM[I'V (or VCR) antenna,

use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting an AM outdoor antenna

If reception is poor with the indoor AM anlenna, stretch out the

ouldoor anlenna (16 feet (5 meters) or more) above a window or

outside.

• Keep the indoor AM loop antenna connecled. Do not remove it.

Listening to RDS broadcasts

RDS reception is available only on the European model and only in

areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM

broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European

Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European

countries. Many FM broadcasting sta/ions now transmit the RDS

signals, which provide the additional information required. RDS

provides you with various services so that you can choose a sta/ion

that broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or other

informa/ion.

There are three main classifica/ions of RDS broadcasts. Though

they can be tuned into by using the 'IUNING buttons as normal

stations, RDS broadcasts allow you to scan for sta/ions of the type

and classification for which you are looking. This makes it much

easier for you to find the sta/ion you want (see "Performing a PTY

scan" and "Performing a TP scan" on page 40). The three main

classifications are explained below.

RT: Radio Text

When an RDS sta/ion broadcasting RT information is selected, the

text informa/ion received from the station is displayed.

PTY: Program Type

When an RDS station broadcasting FFY informa/ion is selected, the

station type (classifica/ion) is displayed.

TP: Trattic Program

When an RDS sta/ion broadcasting TP information is selected,

traffic informa/ion will be broadcasted periodically.

No_s:

• In some cases, the characlers displayed on the display of the

TX-SR701E/601E may not be exactly the same as the ones

broadcast by the radio station. Also, unusual characlers may

appear on the display if the TX-SR701E/601E receives

characters that cannot be displayed correctly. This is not a

malfunction.

• When an RDS sta/ion broadcasting PS informa/ion is selecied,

the name of the sta/ion is displayed instead of the frequency.

Notes on DTS:

If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the "PCM"

setting is selected on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the DTS

encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output.

This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore,

be sure to select ''Auto" or "DTS" and use the digital input ,jacks

(OPT or COAX) to connect the DTS source.

• If you play a DTS-formatled CD or LD when "Auto" is

selected, you may heat a noise for a short while until the DTS

decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts

opera/ing. This is not a malfunction,

• If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing

a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a

malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the "DTS"

selected.

• The DTS indica/or on the TX-SR701/701E/601/6OIE lights

while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the

DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E

remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. 'Ihis

prevents noise when you operate the pause or skip button on the

player. 'lhexefore, if the source is immediately swilched fx-om

DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case,

stop the playback of the source on the player for about thxee

seconds and then resume playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from

certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the

player to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E digitally. This is

because the digital signal has been processed (such as the

output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and

the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E cannot recognize the signal as

DTS da/a. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS

source while processing the signal.

The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and 'IAPE

OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record fxom CDs or

LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-

encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with

"PCM" selecled, only noise will be produced. Always select

''Auto" or "DTS" when playing back DTS-encoded sources.

Listening Modes

'Ihe TX-SR701/701E/601/601E's surround sound enables you io

enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.

'Ihe configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround

sound. Refer to "Connecting speakers" on page 25.

Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config,

Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set

(see pages 31 to 36). Once the parameters have been set, it is not

necessary io set them again. See pages 48, 50 for information

regarding how to select the listening mode.

Listening Modes

Mono

'Ibis mode is for playing old movies where the sound is recoMed in

monaural or for playing the left and right channels of movies

separately that contain different language signals. This mode also

allows you io listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and

other media that have them.

Direct

'Ihis mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound qualily

adjustment and filtration. 'Ihe sound recoMed for the right and left

front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and

not output to the subwoofer.

Pure Audio (TX-SR701/701E only)

Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns

off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video

circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-

fidelity music playback true to the original source.

Stereo

All input sound is output from the lefl and right front speakers.

'Ihe subwoofer is also used for playback.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

l:k)r the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended

that you have front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and

surround left and right speakers. However, if you only have front

left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by using

this mode.

'Ihis mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches

each ear 1o reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full

effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to

the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective

sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the

desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening

position to minimize reflective sound.

Dolby Pro Logic 1I

Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, lefl,

center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix

processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic

11 uses a feedback logic circuit 1o have 5A-channel surround audio

(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then

played back in its original 5.1-channel form.

Dolby Pro Logic i1 provides a Movie mode designed for playing

movies and a Music mode designed for lislening to music. In the

Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide

monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide

complete stereo output over the full frequency range. 'lhe result is

movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode

uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that

cannot be provided with normal stereo output.

'Ihis mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the

I']['l[[ata.nvnunnomm] mark and certain television programs. The

Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo

sources.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.

Dolby Digital is compressed digital da/a with amaximum of 5.1-

channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and

LDs that have [I]_

the ....... mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-

channel output.

• Dolby Digital EX

Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks that

were encoded using the Surround EX technology.

• Dialog norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby

Digital. When playing back soflware that has been encoded in

Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the

front panel display that reads Dialog Norm xdB ("x" being a

nmneric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know

if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower

level than usual. This da/a is automatically used by the Dolby

Digital decoder 1o adjust the oulput volume of the source

material without affecting the volmne of your amplifier.

Therefore, even if source material volume changes, you will

not have to adjust the volume on your amplifier.

DTS Neo:6

This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or

analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six

channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation

between the different channels.

This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing

movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.

The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround

sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.l-channel

sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs

with stereo sound.

The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural

sound space that cannot be provided with normal slereo output. 'Ihis

mode can be used with music CDs and other stereo sources.

DTS

This mode is used for playing DTS source.

DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital da/a with a

maximum 5.l-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES

Discrete sources) that allows for an extremely high-quality sound.

This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output

and comes fi-om DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the m'R

mark.

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

With the addition of the surround back channel, this new formal has

all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete

digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-

fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated

sound space is achieved.

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

This format has the surround back channel ma/rix encoded and

inserted into the left and right surround channels so that a/playback

the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are

decoded using a high-precision matrix decoder.

DTS 96/24

Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources

with surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24

technology.

THX (TX-SR701/701E only)

This mode is for playing back sources recoMed in the THX formal.

l_k_rthe utmost in fidelity when playing back THX sources, it is also

recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed

for playback in large movie theater environments.

• THX Surround EX

"THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX" is a ,joint

development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of

THX Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks thai have been encoded

with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to

reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the

mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back,

places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently

available front left, front center, front right, surround right,

surround lefl, and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunily for more

detailed imaging behind the lislener and brings more depth,

spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that were

created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX lechnology, may

have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies

created using this lechnology can be found on the Dolby web

sile a/http://www.dolby.com.

The TX-SR701/701E can play the 5.l-channel sources in THX

surround EX mode, even if the source is not encoded in Dolby

Digital Surround EX format. In this case, the sound actually

output from the surround back channels depends on the source

and may not fit your tastes.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recoMing such as

old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed

original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the cenler-

channel sound processed with the appropriate reverbera/ion. This

allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the a/mosphere of a movie

theater.

Enhance

With multi channel speakers, you will get more active surround

effect. When using the surround back speaker, the sound effect

moves naturally through the surround back speaker position. This

mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center

channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen

the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverbera/ion that is

created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals,

and jazz music. By emphasizing the front slereo image, it will

simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the

stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are

enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of

being in a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired

from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity

of the conversa/ion.

All Ch Stereo

'Ihis mode is designed for playing background music. The front,

surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that

encompasses the entire area.

Audio Adjust

Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and

analog sources.

In cinema mode, for LI/Rt fihn soundtracks, sounds steered to the

center are subtracted from the left and right channels.

In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of

steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting

it with a cenler channel, while preserving the original perspective of

the slereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted

from the left and right channels.

Cenler hnage is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It

varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

When Center hnage=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted

from the left and right channels. When Center hnage=0, the center

channel is subtracled from the left and right channels at half level

( 6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel

output is not affected by Cenler Image.

'Ihis control should be set based on room layout and personal

pret_rences. A setting of 5 allows the lefl and right channels to pass

through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more

center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if

listeners are located well off-center. At any setting, the center

speaker anchors the image.

Cenler lmage is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS

Neo:6 Music.

Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)

Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the

surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall

imaging.

On: Select to turn on the PL 11 Music Panorama mode.

Oil'." Select to turn offthe PL 11 Music Panorama mode.

Panorama is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro

Logic 11Music.

Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)

Use this selling to gradually adjust the soundfield forward or

backward. 'Ihe setting of "3" is the normal position. Change the

setting to "2" or lower to move the sound space forward setting to

"4" or higher to move the sound space backward.

If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong

surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate

sound balance. In contrast, if the s/ereo recording is somewhat felt

like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward

to get more surroundness.

Dimension is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro

Logic 11Music.

Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)

In Pro Logic 11 decoding, cenler signals are output from the cenler

speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder will

divide the cenler signal equally to both the h-ont left and right

speakers to create a "phantom" center sound image.

'Ihe Pro Logic li Music Cenler Width mode allows you to at[just from

where the cenler sound image is heard. Using this, you can have the

soundfield be heard h'om the cenler speaker only, from the front left

and right speakers only (as a phantom cenler sound image), or from

all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level

combinations. For home use, applying some width to the center

signal will improve the level balance for the cenler and main

speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or "weight"

of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for s/ereo playback

will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. 'Ihe

recommended setting for Pro Logic 11 Music mode is "3 ?' 'Ihis allows

you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic If Music mode from the Pro

Logic 11Movie mode whose setting is automalically set to "0."

Center Width is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro

Logic 11Music.

LFE Level (TX-SR7OI/7OIE only)

The level can be ac[justed to either _ or between -10 and 0

decibels in l-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital and DTS input

source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A selling of 0 decibels

is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the source

is recorded with the low frequency range too strong, lower this

setting as necessary.

Academy Filter (TX-SR701/701E only)

Older monaural fihn mixes relied on high-frequency rolloff in

presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from

the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The high-

frequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit

loss, electrical fillers, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some

films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency

rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy.

The TX-SR701/701E/601/601E includes this "Academy filter,"

which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films

over wide-range systems.

This can be set to either "On" or "Off."

Input Channel

'Ihis allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When the

input source is cenler channel, this center channel is used as the

monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the left and right

channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used as the

monaural sound input channel.

Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when

playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case,

the left and right channels will contain the audio for different

languages. Select the channel with the language you desire.

Listening angle

The lislening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right

speakers as seen from the lis/ener. The processing for the virtual

surround will be based on this angle. In the Theater-Dimensional

mode, the setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal

purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening

angle.

speaker _ _ Front right speaker

Front Ieft

Listening angle

Center

In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system has a

cenler speaker, the cenler channel signal can be output from the

cenler speaker. For instance, in systems where the front left and

right speakers are small, use of the cenler speaker may provide a

better sound space and reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the

proper soundfield, it is important thai the speaker levels and speaker

distances among the h-ont right, front left, and cenler speakers are

matched. In order to ensure this, make sure that the sellings in the

Speaker Distance Sub-menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set

correctly.)

On: Select to have the center channel signal output to the cenler

speaker.

Off: Select to have the center channel signal output to the front

left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

Audio Adjust

Front Expander

In the 'Iheater-Dimensional mode, the front expander function

spreads out the s/ereo image in front of the listener. The created

stereo image is as if the front speakers have been farther apart for

the feeling of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for

narrow lislening angles of 20 degrees or less.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a

wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal

sound space.

Virtual Surr Level

In the Theater-Dimensional mode, this setting adjusts the level of

the virtual surround signal. This can be set from 3 to +3 decibels.

Lowering this selling can improve the sound when the definition is

unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

Dialog Enhance

If the dialog fi-om the center channel is difficult to hear in the

Theater-Dimensional mode, use this setting to improve the clarity.

On: Select to enhance the vocal ranges of the center channel

signal.

Off: Select to output the center channel signal at the regular

level and frequency characteristics.

Front Effect (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,

Enhance, Mono Movie)

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you

play these sources, more reverbera/ion will be applied by the DSP,

creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or

presence. In this case, set this setting to "Off" so thai no

reverbera/ion from the DSP will be applied to the sound output

fxom the three front channels. With this selling, the sound source is

played as it is without any further reverbera/ion.

Reverb Level (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,

Enhance, Mono Movie)

This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverbera/ion

to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,

and such other factors.

Select from the three settings "Low," "Middle," and "High."

Reverb Time (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic,

Enhance, Mono Movie)

Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and

the acoustics of the room. Select from the thxee settings "Short,"

IProgramming procedure

When programming the commands of another remote controller to

the RC-533M/515M remole controller, you must first decide under

which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. |n

general, you will select the MODE button thai corresponds to the

component you are programming. For example, if you are

programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact

disc player, you would choose the CD MODE bullon. Then, by

pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-533M/515M

remole controller will change to the commands you program here to

operate the compact disc player.

Afier programming which MODE button to use, you will then

transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller

over to the RC-533M/515M remote controller one at a time. Each

command is then programmed 1o a different button on the RC-

533M/515M remote controller. Any bullon is programmable for this

step except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/

MD, TV, VCR, and CABLE), the two MACRO buttons (I and 2),

and the LIGHT button (RC-533M only).

Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old

remole controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands

are lost (e.g. when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to

memorize them once again.

1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller

for the other device facing each other at a distance of

2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE

button on the remote controller, press the ENTER

button and then release both buttons.

The SEND/LEARN indica/or lights when the MODE bullon is

pressed and turns off when the ENTER button is pressed. When

the indicator turns off, release both buttons. 'Ihe SEND/LEARN

indicator lights again.

3. Press and release the button on the remote controller

to which you want to transfer the next command.

You may select any bullon excluding the eleven ones indicated

in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/

LEARN indica/or turns off. When you release the button, the

indicator lights again.

If you press the wrong bullon by mistake, press that same bullon

again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the

remote controller exits the programming mode.

4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to

the command you are programming) on the remote

controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN

lamp on the remote controller flashes twice.

After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands

you desire from the other remote controller and

program them to buttons on the remote controller

under the same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program comnlands Io a difl'erent

MODE (e.g., when programming from a difl'erent i-emotecontroller).

6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to

complete the programming.

7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure

the learning function was performed properly.

No_s:

•The remole controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players,

cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recoMer have

ah-eady been programmed into buttons on the remole controller.

You may, however, use these bullons to program the codes for

other remole controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset

codes afler you program new codes, you must first erase the

new codes.

• The remote controller has 357 memory slots (7 modes × 51

buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands

thai can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,

it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are

more important than others.

• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and

turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming

mode because either you have made a mistake during

programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has

been pressed. Resume fl'om Slep 2.

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote

controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times

quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

Try programming under a different MODE button.

• When you want to program a command to a bullon to which

you have ah-eady programmed a command, simply follow the

same procedure given and the previous programming for that

button will be overwritten.

• The remole controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,

as do most other remote controllers. Though most remole

controller codes can be memorized by the remote controfler, be

aware thai some remote controllers use systems that are quile

different fiom the remote controller and therefore may not be

able to be programmed.

• Some remote controllers have a single button thai performs

multiple functions (for example, the function may change each

time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function

must be programmed to a separate button on the remote

controller.

• Once you have transferred the commands from the other mmole

controller, refer to the instruction manual thai came with that

product for instructions on how to operate that product.

• Make sure both the remole controller and the other remole

controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that

are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the

other remote controller properly into the remote controller.

See page 72 for how to erase the memorized commands from all

buttons.

Erasing the programmed command from one

button

You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

1. Press and hold down the MODE button for the

command, press the ENTER button, and then release

both buttons.

When you press the MODE bullon, the SEND/LEARN

indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp

turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

2. Press and release the button for the command you

wish to erase.

When you press the bulton, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns

off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.

3. Press and release the same button again.

The SEND/LEARN lamp slowly flashes twice. The memorized

command is erased.

Note:

If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and turns

off, then the remole controller has exiled the erasing mode because

either you have made a mistake during erasing or a time-out has

occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step L

Erasing all the commands programmed under a

MODE button

t. Press and hold down the desired MODE button, press

the ENTER button twice, and then release both

buttons.

When you press the MODE bullon, the SEND/LEARN

indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp

turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp slowly flashes

twice and then lights again.

2. Press and release the same MODE button again.

When you release the bullon, the SEND/LEARN indicator

slowly flashes twice. 'lhis erases all the commands memorized

to the MODE button.

No_s:

• If the SEND/LEARN indica/or quickly flashes three times and

turns off, then the remote controller has exited the erasing mode

because either you have made a mistake during erasing or a

time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed.

Resume from Step L

• If many commands have been programmed to the MODE

bullon, then the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain lit for up

to 20 seconds during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.

Using the macro function

What is the macro function?

A macro function enables you to program a series of bullon

opera/ions (up to 16) on the remote contmfler into a single button.

The series of opera/ions are then called a macro. For exalnple, to

play a compact disc player connected to the TX-SR701/701E/601/

601E normally, you must perform the following steps:

1. Press the RCVR MODE button.

2. Press the ON button.

3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.

4. Press the CD MODE button.

5. Press the playback (_) button.

By using the macro function, you can perfornl the above five

opera/ions by only pressing one button.

Tips:

• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in

the macro, that opera/ion of thai button will no longer work in

the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram

the macro in oMer to avoid incorrect operation.

• The codes programmed into the macro will be transmitted a/an

interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able

to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next

code. In this case, after pressing one opera/ion button, you can

press the same MODE button again before pressing the next

operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two

operations.

I Programming the macro

With the macro function, you can program a series of button

operations as a macro into the MACRO button so the macro can be

executed with just one touch. Note thai for the macro function, only

one macro can be programmed, l_br example, to program the macro

described above on this page for the MACRO button, perform the

steps given below.

1. Press and hold down any one of the seven MODE

buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, and then

release both buttons.

When you press the MODE button, it lights and the SEND/

LEARN indica/or lights. When you press the MACRO 1 (or 2)

button, the indica/or turns off. When you release the buttons, the

indicator flashes briefly and then lights again.

2, Press the operation buttons you wish to program in

order (in this case, press RCVR MODE -_ ON --> CD

(INPUT SELECTOR) -> CD MODE -> playback (_)

button).

When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns

off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

3. Press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button to complete the

procedure.

The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes twice.

4. Check to see if the macro has been properly

programmed.

No_s:

• You may program up to 16 button operations into the macro

function. If you try to program a 17th opera/ion, it will be

ignored, and programming is stopped.

• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and

turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming

mode because either you have made a mistake during

programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has

been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

Executing the macro

Perform the procedure below Io execute the macro that you have

programmed into the remote controller. After programming the

macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it

has been programmed properly.

Point the remote controller at the TX-SR701/701E/601/

601E and press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button.

It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be sure to

Troubleshooting guide

If one of the messages shown below appears

"Not available with headphones use"

Operation not allowed because headphones are plugged into the

TX-SR701/701 E/601/601E.

"Not available with Multichannel use"

Operation not allowed while the multi=channel output is being used.

"Not available in this Sp Config"

Will not work with the current speaker configuration settings.

"Not available in Zone 2 mode"

Setting not allowed because the Zone 2 mode is turned on.

"()lily available with Dolby D"

No setting other than Dolby Digital call be set.

"Not available in this Listening mode"

Will not work with the current lis/ening mode.

"Not available with this signal"

The lislening mode cannot be selected with the current input source.

"Not available with Muting"

Operation not allowed because the muting is activated.

"Zone 2is not On"

Will not work because the Zone 2 has not been turned on.

Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the CD player,

DVD player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that

compose your entertainment system.

The TX-SR701/701 E/601/601E contains an internal microcomputer

that performs highqevel operations. However, on extremely rare

occasions, noise or inlerference from an external source or sta/ic

electricity may cause fauhy operation. If this occurs, unplug the

power cord h-ore the wall outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then

plug it back in. This should correct the situation.

*'Ik) reset the surround mode and other sellings to the factory

default sellings, hold down the VIDEO I button with the TX-

SRT01/701E/601/601E turned on and then press the

STANDBY/ON button. "CLEAR" appears in the front display

and the TX-SR701/701 E/601/601E enters the standby state.
