Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A

built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents

of the memory during power failures and even when the

POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to

on in order to charge the back-up system.

The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned

off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On

the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a

few weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This

period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a very humid cli-

mate.

Positioning speakers

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of

Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending

on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room.

The illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker

placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in

order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a

center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the

unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in

order to produce the best Surround sound possible.

Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated

listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a

richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound’s

source and movement.

Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 1 meter

(3 feet) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of

the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dis-

persion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound

while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for

powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not

affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can

install it with the room layout in mind.

Refer to the speaker’s instruction manual for more details.

1Insert the end of the cable.

2Clamp it in place with pliers.

4. Re-install the cover.

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) recep-

tion since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each

other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a

directional linkage type splitter.

Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.

•Refer to the next page for details on connecting the AM loop

antenna.

1. Press down the lever.

2. Insert the wire into the hole.

Making antenna connections

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:

The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. Extend the antenna

and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is

received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the posi-

tion that will cause the least amount of distortion.

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

antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

U.S. and Canadian models

Remove the insulation at the tip of the cable, and insert the cable

securely, fully to the end of the exposed tip.

Connecting the AM loop antenna:

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

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

away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power

cords.

When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop

antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Please make sure that you follow the considerations below regard-

ing the location.

Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads,

etc.).

It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well

away from power lines, transformers, etc.

•To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is

necessary. Follow item 19 of the “Important Safeguards” on

page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

The outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched hori-

zontally above a window or outside.

•Do not remove the AM loop antenna.

•To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is

necessary. Follow item 19 of the “Important Safeguards” on

page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Using Listening Mode

Listening Modes

The TX-DS575X’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the pres-

ence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.

Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Setup

parameters have been set (refer to page 14). Once the parameters

have been set, it is not necessary to set them again.

The configuration of the speakers are very important for the sur-

round sound. Refer to “connecting speakers” on page 10.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,

DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to individu-

ally record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz) channels (left

and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE chan-

nel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will

create a realistic sound that could be heard in the theaters and con-

cert halls.

DOLBY DIGITAL: Select this option when you play a DVD video

that has a mark.

DTS: Select this option when you play a DVD player, laser disc, or

CD that has a mark.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

This surround format consists of four channels (left and right front,

center, and monaural surround channels) and emphasizes the cen-

ter channel. This format is very effective for panning music, con-

versation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from

three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround

effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the

theater. Select this option when you play a VHS, VHS Hi-Fi, laser

disc, or DVD video that has a mark.

Onkyo’s listening modes

The TX-DS575X offers the following special Onkyo listening

modes for the sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS sounds.

ORCHESTRA: This mode is suitable for classics and opera

music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are

emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate a natural

reverberation that can be created in a large hall.

UNPLUGGED: This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental

sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo

image, it will simulate the acoustics in front of the stage.

STUDIO-MIX: This mode is suitable for rock and popular

music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic image will make

you feel as if you are in a club.

TV LOGIC: This mode offers a realistic acoustics of a TV pro-

gram being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire sur-

round sound and clarity of conversation.

5CH STEREO: This mode is useful for background music.

The front and surround channels will create a stereo image.

STEREO

Select this mode when you do not wish to use the surround mode.

All input sound is output from the front speakers.

•A system with L/R front and center speakers

The following modes are available:

DOLBY 3 STEREO

The surround channel sound is output from the left and right

front speakers.

STEREO

This is a normal stereo mode. Surround mode is cancelled.

•A system with L/R front speakers

The following mode is available:

STEREO

This is a normal stereo mode.

Notes on DTS

1. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “ANA-

LOG” setting is selected on the TX-DS575X, 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 “DIGITAL” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/

COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source. (Refer to “Assigning

the digital input/Selecting the input signal format” on page 18.)

2. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “DIGITAL”

setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the

DTS decoder recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts oper-

ating. This is not a malfunction.

3. If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while play-

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

function.

4. The DTS indicator on the TX-DS575X lights up while it plays

the DTS source. When playback concludes and the DTS signal

transmission stops, the TX-DS575X remains in DTS mode and

the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you

operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if the

source switches from the DTS signal to the PCM signal immedi-

ately, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the

playback of the source on the player for about three seconds, then

resume playback.

5. Some CD players and LD players may be unable to play DTS

sources correctly even if you connect the player to the TX-

DS575X digitally. This is because the digital signal has been pro-

cessed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency

response, etc.), and the TX-DS575X cannot recognize the signal

as DTS data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a

DTS source while processing the signal.

6. The Rec Out jacks of the TX-DS575X output analog audio. Do

not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these jacks. Oth-

erwise, you will record a DTS encoded signal as noise.

rent level will be used as the value set via the test tone.

The following parameters are available for each Listening mode.

LATE NIGHT

If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this parameter to

“ON” to narrow the dynamic range of the sound to make it easier to

hear.

The Late Night function works only with source material that con-

tains necessary Dolby Digital information.

Note:

•

The Late Night effect is determined by each Dolby Digital

sound. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.

•

The Late Night function is effective only on the Dolby Digital

sound.

While the Dolby Digital sound is playing, press the LATE NIGHT/

FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the dis-

play. (LATE NIGHT=ON or OFF)

Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly

will toggle between ON and OFF.

FRONT EFFECT

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you

play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,

creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses its frame or

presence. In this case, set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverbera-

tion from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from three

front channels, and the sound source will be played as it is without

any further reverberation.

Note:

The Front Effect function is effective only on the ORCHESTRA,

UNPLUGGED, STUDIO-MIX, and TV LOGIC sound.

Re-Equalization takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your

home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed

for theaters will sound too bright when played back through speak-

ers in the home environment.

To enable Re-Equalization, set the Re-EQ to ON.

While the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, or

DTS Surround sound is playing, press the Re-EQ button. The cur-

rent setting appears on the display. (RE-EQ=ON or OFF)

Pressing the Re-EQ button repeatedly will toggle between ON and

Programming the remote controller codes of

other devices into the RC-392M

The RC-392M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-392M to learn other remote controllers’

codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-392M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote con-

troller into one MACRO button.

Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).

1. Place the RC-392M and the remote controller for another

device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and the light-emit-

ting parts facing each other.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button

on the RC-392M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,

VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release the but-

tons.

When you press and hold down one of the MODE button, the

SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the ENT

button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the

SEND/LEARN indicator lights up again.

3. Press and release the desired operation button on the RC-

392M.

You may select any button within the rectangle shown in the figure.

When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.

When you release the button, the indicator lights up again.

4. Press and hold down the desired button on the remote con-

troller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator

on the RC-392M flashes twice.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then lights up.

5. Repeat Steps 3–4 to program other buttons in the same

MODE.

Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a different MODE.

6. Press the MODE button to complete programming.

7. Operate the programmed button to make sure the learning

function works.

Note:

The remote controller codes for the Onkyo CD player, tape

deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been pro-

grammed into the buttons on the RC-392M. You may program

other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to

restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes,

erase the new codes. (See page 35.)

Note:

•The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 buttons × 8

modes), although this number varies significantly depending on

the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to

program into the RC-392M. It is recommended that you deter-

mine which button functions have priority for programming.

•If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during

the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times

quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 2.

•If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN

indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits

Learning mode.

•If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-

392M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly,

then the RC-392M exits Learning function. Try programming in

a button of other MODE.

•Follow the same procedure when you wish to program new

codes into the already-programmed buttons.

•This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote control-

ler codes can be memorized using the infrared system; however,

depending on the degree to which the system differs, there may

be some rare occasions when memorization is not possible.

•Some remote controllers use a single button to perform different

functions, with the function code changing each time the button

is pressed. If you are using this kind of controller, please per-

form the “learn” operations for each function individually to

store each function to a button on the RC-392M.

•For instructions regarding the operation of “learned” units,

please refer to the instruction manual for each product.

•Even after codes have been memorized, please keep your old

remote controller in a safe place. If the memorized codes are

lost when the batteries run down, it will be necessary to memo-

rize them once again using the old remote controller.

•Make sure both the RC-392M and the product’s own remote

controller have fresh batteries. If either of them has batteries

that are wearing down, it may be impossible to store the remote

controller codes into the RC-392M or the product may not

respond properly to the buttons on the RC-392M for which the

remote controller codes were stored into memory.

Troubleshooting guide

If a problem occurs while you are using the remote controller, first try to operate the front panel controls on the main unit to make sure that it

is not due to a malfunction (or worn out batteries) in the remote controller.

Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the video disc player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that compose your enter-

tainment system.

Because the unit contains a microcomputer to provide advanced functions, it may malfunction due to external noise or static electricity. If

this happens, press the POWER switch on the unit and then press it in again after about five seconds.
