Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
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.

ConnectingYour Speakers
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog and digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes. You
can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
Front left and right speakers
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for pre-
cise sound positioning and to add
realistic ambience.
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 slightly
so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Position them at the sides of the lis-
tener, or slightly behind, about 2–
3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.
Ideally they should be equally
spaced from the listener.
Center speaker
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 yourTV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of
the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.
The volume and quality of the bass output
Surround back left and right speakers
from your subwoofer will depend on its posi-
tion, the shape of your listening room, and
your listening position. In general, a good
bass sound can be obtained by installing the
subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third
the way along the wall, as shown.
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX,
DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc.
They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve
sound localization behind the listener. Position them
behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear
level.
Tip: To find the best position for your sub-
woofer, while playing a movie or some
music with good bass, experiment by plac-
ing your subwoofer at various positions
within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.
THX recommends that they be placed as close as possible
in order to make advantage of their proprietary ASA
(Advanced Speaker Array) technology. If this condition is
not possible, adjust the SurrBack Sp Spacing setting via
the THX Audio Setup. (See page 70.)

Speaker Connection Precautions
Connecting the Speaker Cables
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the
connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6,
be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to 4
ohms (see page 44). 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 amp protec-
tion circuit may be activated.
Strip about 5/8" (15
mm) of insulation from
the ends of the
speaker cables, and
twist the bare wires
tightly, as shown.
5/8" (15 mm)
1
Unscrew the terminal.
2
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
Fully insert the bare
wires.
• 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.
3
Screw the terminal tight.
4
• 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.
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect
it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS termi-
nals.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker termi-
nal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

Connecting Antenna
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.
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
1
AM antenna push terminals
FM antenna jack
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
2
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
(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.
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
1
■ American Model
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Push
Insert wire
Release
■ Other Models
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
cords.
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.
2
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).

door FM antenna instead.
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoorAM antenna can be used in
addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
OutdoorAM 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.
• 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.

Which Connections Should I Use?
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, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver by using any one of the following video
connection formats: composite video, S-Video,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the
best picture quality.
Composite video to S-Video and S-Video to com-
posite video conversion only applies to the MON-
ITOR OUTV and S outputs, not theVIDEO 1 and
VIDEO 2 OUT V and S outputs.
For optimum video performance, THX recom-
mends that video signals pass through the sys-
tem without upconversion (e.g., component
video input through to component video out-
put). It’s also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 74).

Connecting Components with HDMI
About HDMI
Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface
standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several
separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry
control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and
multichannel PCM).
*1
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components can
display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.1
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
About Copyright Protection
*2
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s
HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.

intend to use with the AV receiver. These components can
then be left turned on so that they turn on and off as and when
the AV receiver is turned on and set to Standby.
Caution:
• Make sure that the total capacity of the components that
you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the
stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).
AC OUTLETS

back. Use them with Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 music
sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts).
About the Listening Modes
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.
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 playback.
Use them with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1
movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broadcasts).
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.
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.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers.
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.
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.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
DTS-ES Discrete
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan-
nel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless sur-
round-sound experience that fully envelops the listener.
As well as music and movies, video games can also ben-
efit 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
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete
soundtracks that 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.
Use this mode with any stereo or 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).
DTS-ES Matrix
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix
soundtracks that use a matrix-encoded
back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.
• PLIIx Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.
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).
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.
• NEO:6 Music
Dolby Digital EX, DTS+Dolby EX
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby
Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel
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.
DTS+Neo:6
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel
DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it
with DVDs that bear the DTS logo and feature a
5.1-channel soundtrack.
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-

THX
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent stan-
dards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie the-
aters and home theaters just as the director intended.
• THX Cinema
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.
This mode is for watching movies, which are typi-
cally recorded and edited on the assumption that they
will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater.
It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial character-
istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the
smaller home-theater environment. It can be used
with 2-channel sources processed with other for-
mats, and multichannel sources. Surround back
speaker output depends on the source material and
the selected listening mode.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the
stereo image and simulates the natural 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.
• THX Select2 Cinema
This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-
channel sources for 7.1-channel playback. It does
this by analyzing the composition of the surround
source, optimizing the ambient and directional
sounds to produce the surround back channel output.
This is a new and improved mode especially for
home theater use.
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.
• THX Music Mode
This mode is designed for use with music. It expands
Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-
channel playback.
• THX Games Mode
This mode is designed for use with video games.
• THX Surround EX
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.
This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-
channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. It’s
especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX
Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround
EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laborato-
ries and THX Ltd.

Recording
This section explains how to record the input source and
how to record audio and video from separate sources.
Recording Audio and Video from
Separate Sources
Notes:
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot
be recorded.
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 and video from the camcorder con-
nected to the Video 4 Input Video jack are recorded by
the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to the multichannel DVD input
cannot be recorded.
• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to
the manuals supplied with your digital recording
equipment for more details.
• Digital input signals are output by only the digital out-
puts, and analog input signals are output by only the
analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from
digital to analog or vice versa.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-
tom center). This setting adjusts the front left, right, and
center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the cen-
ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default
value is 3).

■ 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 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround

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.

Repeat this step as necessary for each
setting.
When the AV receiver’s 12 V TRIGGER OUT A/B/C
jack is connected to the 12 V trigger input on a con-
nected component, you can specify whether or not a 12-
volt trigger signal is output when that component is
selected as the source for the main room, Zone 2, or
either.
Press the [Setup] button.
Setup closes.

■ Delay
When several components are turned on simultaneously
via the 12-volt triggers, depending on the type of compo-
nents, a large amount of current may be drawn momen-
tarily. To prevent this, you can delay the trigger signals
output by the AV receiver. In addition, by delaying the
trigger signal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last
component to be turned on, you can avoid the “thump”
noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component
is turned on.
Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV receiver’s
12 V TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trig-
ger input on the connected component.
The delay setting determines how long after the input
source is changed on the AV receiver the trigger signal is
output. It can be set to 0 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, or 3 sec. When
set to 0 sec, the trigger signal is output as soon as the
input source is changed.
Press the [Receiver] Remote
Mode button, followed by the
[Setup] button.

Troubleshooting—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound
• 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
(pages 66, 67).
• 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.
The Zone 2 speakers produce no sound
• The Zone 2 speakers only output sources that are con-
nected to an analog input. Check to see if the source is
connected to an analog input.
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN
can’t be heard
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-
nals, audio output may not start immediately.
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

need to select another resolution on your DVD player.
• 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.
The onscreen menus don’t appear
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• 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.
The picture is distorted
• On non-North American models, specify the TV sys-
tem used in your area in the “TV Format Setup” on
page 45.

• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-
puter.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 47).
• When listening to anAM 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.
Can’t learn commands from another remote
controller
• When learning commands, make sure that the trans-
mitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at
each other.
• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that
cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot
be learned, especially those that contain several
instructions.
Recording
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,
VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT, or VIDEO 2 IN to
VIDEO 2 OUT).

Troubleshooting—Continued
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.
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn
it on and, while holding down the [Video 1] button,
press the [Standby/On] button. “Clear” will appear
on the display and the AV receiver will enter
Standby mode.
Set the AV receiver to Standby before disconnecting
the power cord from the wall outlet.
