Speaker Precautions

Placement

• The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are

therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and

humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct

sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-

tioner, humidiﬁer, bathroom, or kitchen.

•Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.

If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units

may be damaged.

•Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, ﬂat surfaces

that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or

unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-

age, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-

cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or

tilted position.

•If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD

player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To

prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,

CD player or DVD player otherwise lower the unit’s

output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive

devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or

picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed

nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-540F and SKC-540C

feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,

however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case

you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30

minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally

activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the

magnetic ﬁeld, thereby removing any discoloration

effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the

speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discol-

oration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing

tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the speciﬁed input power when

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-

ing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is

within the speciﬁed rating, excessive current may ﬂow in

the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on.

Ampliﬁer oscillation.

Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (Always turn off your ampliﬁer

before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

Microphone feedback.

HT-S790_En.book Page 4 Friday, February 17, 2006 3:28 PM

Enjoying Home Theater

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver:

speaker set A

and

speaker set B

Speaker set A

(included speakers) should be used in your main listening room for up to 7.1-channel playback.

*While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.

Speaker set B

(not included) can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

*Only analog input sources are output by speaker set B.

Speaker Sets A and B

Speaker set A Speaker set B Indicator Output

A B

Surround back left and right

speakers (SKB-540)

These speakers further enhance the

realism of surround sound and

improve sound localization behind the

listener. Position them behind the lis-

tener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)

above ear level.

* While speaker set B is on, these

speakers output no sound.

Corner

1/3 wall

length

Speaker Set A: Main Room

Front left and right speakers (SKF-540F)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor

for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level,

and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.

Center speaker (SKC-540C)

This speaker enhances the

front left and right speakers,

making sound movements

distinct and providing a full

sound image. For 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 left and right speak-

ers.

Surround left and right speakers (SKM-540S)

These speakers are used for precise sound posi-

tioning and to add realistic ambience. Position

them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,

about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ide-

ally they should be equally spaced from the lis-

tener.

Subwoofer (SKW-540)

The subwoofer handles the

bass sounds of the LFE (Low-

Frequency Effects) channel. In

general, a good bass sound

can be obtained by installing

the subwoofer in a front corner,

or at one-third the way along

the wall, as shown.

Remote Controller

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try

replacing the batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of

batteries.

•If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long

time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from

leakage or corrosion.

•Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-

ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

When using the remote controller, point it toward the AV

receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

•The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV

receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-

light or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Keep this in

mind when installing.

•If another remote controller of the same type is used in

the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to

equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-

ler may not work reliably.

• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,

such as a book or magazine, because a button may be

pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.

•The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV

receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass

doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

•The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-

cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control

sensor.

Installing the Batteries

To open the battery compartment, press

the small hollow and slide open the cover.

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6)

in accordance with the polarity diagram

inside the battery compartment.

Connecting Your Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•You can connect speakers with an impedance of

8 ohms or higher

. If you use speakers with a lower

impedance, and use the ampliﬁer at high volume lev-

els 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.

•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive

(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-

tive (–) 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.

• Don’t connect more than one

cable to each speaker termi-

nal. Doing so may damage the

AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals and

speaker’s positive (+) terminals are color-coded for ease

of identiﬁcation. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are

all black.) Match the color of each cable to the corre-

sponding speaker terminal.

Note:

When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced

to 5.1-channel playback.

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor

FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect

commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.

The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without

any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna

to use the tuner.

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-

door FM antenna instead (see page 21).

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use

only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-

cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 21).

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■

American Model

■

Other Models

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll

need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust

the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best

possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure yourself

when using thumbtacks.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so

they can be connected either way around).

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and

that the push terminals are gripping the bare

wires, not the insulation.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll

Connecting Antennas

—Continued

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-

door FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an

attic or loft.

•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well

away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line

of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated

well away from power lines and other high-voltage

equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance

with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-

ards.

■

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV

reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-

cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as

shown.

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied

AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in

addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon-

tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained

indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note

that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with

local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Connecting Your Components

•Before making any AV connections, read the manuals

supplied with your other AV components.

•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed

and double-checked all AV connections.

Optical Digital Jacks

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type

covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and

close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution:

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical

plug straight when inserting and removing.

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,

white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-

nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use

white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-

puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to

connect composite video inputs and outputs.

•Push plugs in all the way to make

good connections (loose connec-

tions can cause noise or malfunc-

tions).

•To prevent interference, keep

audio and video cables away from

power cords and speaker cables.

Connecting Your Components

—Continued

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you

can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format

you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.

For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Video Connection Formats

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that

the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only

outputs of the same format as the input will output the

signal.

Video Signal Flow Chart

Audio Connection Formats

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that

the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.

For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or

COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog

TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example,

your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital

input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■

Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically

turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all compo-

nents connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components connected to an AC

OUTLET on the AV receiver.

■

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component

as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to

press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 37), as the Direct Change function only selects the

FRONT DVD IN jacks.

■

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the

remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropri-

ate remote control code ﬁrst (page 59).

Notes:

• Use only cables for connections.

cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD,

CD, etc.).

• Some components have two jacks. You can

connect either one to the AV receiver. The other

jack is for connecting additional -capable

components.

• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks.

Connecting other manufacturer’s components

may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all func-

tions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your

other Onkyo components.

• Connect the AV receiver’s and subwoofer’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.

Notes:

•

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Turning on the AV receiver and subwoofer may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other

electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.

Connecting Onkyo Components

Connecting the Power Cord

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con-

nection in the hookup examples) (see pages 24 to 32).

Smooth Operation in a Few Easy Steps

To ensure smooth operation, here’s a few easy steps to help you conﬁgure the AV receiver before you use it for the

very ﬁrst time. These settings only need to be made once.

■Have you connected a component to a digital audio input?

If you have, see “Assigning Digital Inputs to Input Sources” on

page 35.

■Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder,

or next generation HDD-compatible component?

If you have, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 35.

the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1 input (OPT1), you’ll need

to assign it to the DVD input source, as follows.

Note:

Make sure that components connected digitally are con-

ﬁgured to output digital audio. Refer to the relevant man-

uals.

If you connect an -capable Onkyo MiniDisc

recorder, CD recorder or next generation HDD-compat-

ible component to the TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 2 IN

Use the AV receiver’s input selector buttons to select the input source.

To select the input source with the remote controller, press the

[RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, and then use the INPUT SELECTOR

buttons.

On the remote controller, the [V1], [V2], and [V3] buttons select the VIDEO 1,

VIDEO 2, and VIDEO 3 input sources respectively.

To turn the speakers on or off, use the AV receiver’s SPEAKERS [A] and

[B] buttons, or use the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button.

Pressing the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button cycles through the following settings:

Speaker Set A

→

Speaker Set A&B

→

Speaker Set B

→

Off.

Note that while speaker set B is on,

speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel

playback.

See page 5 for more information about speaker sets A and B.

Start playback on the source component.

To watch a DVD or other video source, on your TV, select the video input that’s con-

nected to the AV receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack.

To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control, or the remote

controller’s [VOL] button.

The volume can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX. Since the AV receiver is

designed for home theater enjoyment, it has a wide volume range for precise adjust-

ment.

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set

The multichannel DVD input is for connecting a compo-

nent with a 7.1-channel analog audio output, such as a

DVD-Audio or SACD-capable DVD player, or an

MPEG decoder. See page 26 for hookup information.

Note:

• While the multichannel DVD input is selected, the

Speaker Conﬁguration settings on page 54 are

ignored, and signals from the multichannel input are

fed to the speakers as they are.

You can display various information about the current

input source as follows.

The following information can typically be displayed:

*1 When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset num-

ber, and frequency are displayed.

*2 If the input signal is analog, or AM or FM radio is

selected, no format information is displayed. If the

input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is dis-

played. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the

signal format is displayed. Information is displayed

for about 3 seconds, then the previous display reap-

pears.

Note:

•The listening mode is displayed only when speaker set

A is on.

Interpreting Surround Channel Information

A: The number of front channels (front left, front right,

and center).

B: The number of surround channels (surround left and

surround right). If there’s surround back channel

information, this number will be 3.

C: LFE channel for subwoofer (1 means yes).

Using the Multichannel DVD Input

Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE

MODE button, followed by the

[MULTI CH] button.

The MULTI CH indicator appears on

the display.

Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your

listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with

high ﬁdelity and stunning surround sound.

Pure Audio (not North American models)

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned

off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in

high-ﬁdelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is

turned off, no video signals are output in this mode.)

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output

directly with minimal processing, providing high-ﬁdel-

ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are

output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and

subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono

soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language

soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of

some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other

sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke

DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

expands any 2-channel source for

7.1-channel playback. 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.

• PLIIx Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• PLIIx Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,

TV, VHS, DVD).

• PLIIx Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those that

bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the

Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV

broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-

sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the

action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

Dolby Digital EX

DTS+Dolby EX

These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby

Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-chan-

nel playback. They’re especially suited to

Dolby Digital EX soundtracks that include

a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional

channel adds an extra dimension and provides an envel-

oping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating

and ﬂy-by sound effects. Use them with DVDs that bear

the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.

Dolby Digital+PLIIx Music

DTS+PLIIx Music

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music

mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital

and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-

back. Use them with Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1 music sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV

broadcasts).

Dolby Digital+PLIIx Movie

DTS+PLIIx Movie

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie

mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital

and DTS sources for 7.1-channel play-

back. Use them with Dolby Digital and

DTS 5.1 movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broad-

casts).

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports

up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com-

pression for high-ﬁdelity reproduction. Use it

with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24

sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a

96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing

superior ﬁdelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS

96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete

soundtracks, which use a discrete surround

back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The

seven totally separate audio channels provide better spa-

tial 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

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 6.1-chan-

nel playback. It uses six 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).

Dolby Digital + Neo:6

DTS+Neo:6

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-chan-

nel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for

6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with

DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS

logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.

Neural Surround

(North American models only)

Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in

surround technology developed for music and is adopted

by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of sur-

round recordings and live events in surround sound.

Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-

domain processing, which allows delivery of a more

detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation

and localization of audio elements. System playback is

scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround playback.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono

sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,

while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other

speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode

emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the

stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of

a large hall.

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 acous-

tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-

duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire

sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode ﬁlls the entire lis-

tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,

and surround back speakers.

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.

HT-S790_En.book Page 49 Friday, February 17, 2006 3:28 PM

Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the

dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can

still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume

levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you

don’t want to disturb anyone.

Notes:

• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the

Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with

some material there will be little or no effect.

• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV

receiver is set to Standby.

With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright

movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro-

duction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening

modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, PLII/IIx

Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24,

Dolby/DTS+PLIIx Movie, Dolby/DTS+Neo:6, and

DTS+Dolby EX.

The Audio Adjust settings only affect speaker set A.

The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.

Input Channel Settings

■

Multiplex

This setting determines which channel is output from a

stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels

or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV

broadcasts, and so on.

Main:

The main channel is output (default).

Sub:

The sub channel is output.

M/S:

Both the main and sub channels are output.

■

Mono (2ch)

This setting determines which channel is output when

the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output

(default).

Only the left channel is output.

Only the right channel is output.

PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

■

Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front

stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro

Logic IIx Music listening mode.

On:

Panorama function on.

Off:

Panorama function off (default).

■

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound ﬁeld forward

or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro

Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.

It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. Higher settings move the

sound ﬁeld forward. Lower settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much

surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to

improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image

feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround

sound, move it backward.

■

Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound

from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II

Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally,

the center channel sound is output by only the center

speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center

channel sound will be distributed to the front left and

right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting

adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you

to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can

be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

■

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel

surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With

this setting, you can specify by how much the front left

and right channel output is attenuated in order to create

the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default

value is 2). This setting has no effect if no center speaker

is connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is

attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the

sound is located centrally. This setting works well when

the listening position is considerably off center. When

set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-

ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

■

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals

are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround

back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.

Auto:

If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital

EX ﬂag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode

is used (default).

Manual:

You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro

Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby

Digital EX.

Multichannel Subwoofer Setting

■

SW Sens

On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel

subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can

change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD

player. Note that this setting only affects signals con-

nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan-

nel DVD input.

You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.

If you ﬁnd that your subwoofer is too loud, try the

+10 dB or +15 dB setting.

Press the [SETUP] button.

Setup closes.

Speaker Distance

To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that

the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the

same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis-

tance from each speaker to the listening position.

Notes:

• The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to

5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For

example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the

Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15

and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).

•The Surround and Surround Back distances can be set

up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the

Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set

to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight, Surr Left, Surr Back R,

and Surr Back L distances can be set between 5 and 25

ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

Advanced Speaker Settings

Measure and make a note of the

distance from each speaker to

The following table shows the display indicator for each

digital signal format.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto-

matically. However, if you experience either of the fol-

lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you

can specify the signal format as either PCM or DTS:

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut

off, try the PCM setting.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing

a DTS CD, try the DTS setting.

When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,

you may ﬁnd that the picture and sound are out of sync.

With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the

audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds

(ms) in 20 millisecond steps.

Note:

• This setting is not available when the Pure Audio lis-

tening mode is used, or the Direct listening mode is

used with an analog input signal.

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.

You can only record to a component that’s connected to

the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

See pages 22–33 for information on connecting your AV

components.

Notes:

•You cannot record from a component that’s connected

to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

• The surround sound effects provided by the listening

modes cannot be recorded.

•You cannot record from a component that’s connected

to the multichannel DVD input.

•If you select another input source while recording, that

input source will be recorded instead.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the

VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig-

nals, so select another mode when recording.

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by

simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-

arate sources. This is possible because only the audio

source is switched when an audio-only input source,

such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video

source remains the same.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder

connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO jack are

recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT

jacks.

Prepare the camcorder and CD player

for playback.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector but-

ton.

Press the [CD] input selector button.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but

leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Start recording on the VCR, then start

playback on the camcorder and CD

player.

Video from the camcorder and audio from the CD

player are recorded by the VCR.

Recording the Input Source

Use the input selector buttons to

select the component that you

want to record.

Audio signals from the selected input

source are output by the TAPE OUT

and VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

You can listen to the source while

recording. The AV receiver’s VOL-

UME control has no effect on record-

ing.

On your recorder, start record-

ing.

Start playback on the source

component.

Controlling Other Components

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller

(RC-649M) to control your other AV components,

including those made by other manufacturers. This sec-

tion explains how to enter the necessary remote control

code for the component that you want to control (e.g.,

DVD player, TV, or VCR).

To control another component, you must ﬁrst enter the

appropriate remote control code to a REMOTE MODE

button. You’ll need to enter a code for each component

that you want to control.

Notes:

•A remote control code cannot be entered for the

[RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button.

• The remote control codes provided are correct at the

time of printing, but are subject to change.

Entering Remote Control Codes

Look up the appropriate remote

control code in the separate

Remote Control Codes list.

The codes are organized by category

(e.g., DVD player, TV, etc.).

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the 7.1ch Home Theater

System, look for a solution in this section.

Can’t turn on the AV receiver

•Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall

outlet properly.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5

seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned

• The amp protection circuit has been activated.

Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-

ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,

and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-

nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord

and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver

stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the

power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input

sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the

volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and

contact your Onkyo dealer.

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected

properly (page 35). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but-

ton repeatedly.

• Make sure the speker set A or B is on (page 5).

•Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed

in all the way (page 22).

• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is

correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with metal

part of each speaker terminal (page 19)

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

•Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79,

or MAX (page 36). The AV receiver is designed for

home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range

for precise adjustment.

• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,

press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to

unmute the AV receiver (page 44).

• While a pair of headphones is connected to the

PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers

(page 45).

• Check the digital audio output settings on the con-

nected device. On some games consoles, such as those

that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio format from a menu.

•If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in,

you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.

If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con-

nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a

phono preamp.

•Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual

speaker levels (pages 52, 53).

•The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to

Auto (page 56).

Only the front speakers produce sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro Logic IIx

Music, or Pro Logic IIx Game listening mode with a

mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV

program, the sound is concentrated in the center

speaker.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the surround speakers produce no sound (page 48).

• Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound (page 48).

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

The surround back speakers produce no sound

•While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to

5.1-channel playback and the surround back speakers

produce no sound.

—Continued

• The surround back speakers are not used with all lis-

tening modes. Select another listening mode

(page 48).

• Not much sound may be produced by the surround

back speakers with some sources.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

The subwoofer produces no sound

• The level of the input signal was too low so the sub-

woofer entered Standby mode. Increase the subwoofer

level slightly on the HT-R540.

• Make sure that the subwoofer’s [POWER] switch is

set to ON (not North American models).

• The subwoofer’s OUTPUT LEVEL control is set at

minimum. Turn it up.

• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker

set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.

•When you play source material that contains no infor-

mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces

no sound.

• Make sure the speakers are conﬁgured correctly

(page 54).

Speaker set B produces no sound

•Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected

to an analog input. Make sure that the analog audio

cables are connected properly.

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some games consoles, such as those

that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback

•While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to

5.1-channel playback.

The volume cannot be set to 79

• When the volume level of each speaker has been

adjusted (pages 45, 53), the maximum possible vol-

ume may be reduced.

Noise can be heard

• 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.

The Late Night function doesn’t work

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital

(page 50).

The multichannel DVD input doesn’t work

• Check the multichannel DVD input connections

(page 26).

•To select the multichannel DVD input, press the

[MULTI CH] input selector button.

• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

About DTS signals

•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 mal-

function.

• 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 forward, 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 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback

DTS material properly even though your player is con-

nected 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 recog-

nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you

may hear noise.

There’s no picture

•Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed

in all the way (page 22).

•Make sure that each video component is properly con-

nected.

•The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so

if a video source component is connected to a compo-

nent video input, your TV must be connected to the

component video output (page 23).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which

the AV receiver is connected is selected.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North

American model) is selected, the video circuits are

turned off and the AV receiver outputs no video sig-

nals.

• Relocate your antenna.

•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-

puter.

• Listen to the station in mono (page 38).

•When listening to an AM station, operating the remote

controller may cause noise.

•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor

antenna.

The remote controller doesn’t work

•Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-

rect polarity (page 13).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far

away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no

obstruction between the remote controller and the AV

receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode (page 14).

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control

code (page 58).

Can’t control other components

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode (page 14).

• If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD

recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com-

patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a

DS-A1 Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 2 IN

jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you

must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see

page 35).

•The entered remote control code may not be correct. If

more than one code is listed, try each one.

•With some AV components, certain buttons may not

work as expected, and some may not work at all.

•To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be

sure to enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst

(see page 59).

•To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected

via , or another manufacturer’s component, point

the remote controller at the component. Be sure to

enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (see

page 58).

Can’t record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is

selected.

•To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV

receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs

with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or

VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected,

recording is not possible because no video signals are

output. Select another listening mode.

The sound changes when I connect my head-

phones

•When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening

mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,

Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio (not North American

Y/C Mix:On:

S-Video input signals are output by

S-Video outputs and composite video outputs.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-

cessing and control functions. In very rare situations,

severe interference, noise from an external source, or

static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely

event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the

wall outlet, wait at least ﬁve seconds, and then plug it

back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD

rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by

the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important

data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-

rectly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-

let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

Memory Backup

The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup

system in order to retain radio presets and other set-

tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-

ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver

must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the

backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV

receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,

although this depends on the environment and will be

shorter in humid climates.
