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.

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
'Ihe FM indoor anlelma is for indoor use only. During use, exlend
the anlenna and adjust its orienta/ion until the clearest signal is
x-eceived. Fix it with push pins or similar items in the position that
will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the xeception is not very clear with the allached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
'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.

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 (Europeanmodels only)
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.

Listening Modes
• THX Cinema
This is the conventional 5.l-channel THX format. This mode
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.

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.)

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,

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

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
continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the
SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.

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.
