About Home Theater  
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. With Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and  
Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP lis-  
tening modes.  
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).  
a b Front speakers (Left and Right)  
ij  
kl  
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-  
vide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned  
facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV.  
Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the  
apex.  
f
ab  
c
c
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements  
distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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 speakers.  
d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-  
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly  
behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they  
should be equidistant from the listener.  
f
Subwoofer(s)  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency  
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your  
subwoofer will depend on its position, 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 width of the wall, as shown.  
de gh  
g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)  
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 to 3 feet (60 to  
100 cm) above ear level.  
Corner  
position  
i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and  
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.  
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (pref-  
erably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front  
speakers.  
1/3 of wall  
position  
Tip  
• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while  
playing a movie or some music with good bass,  
experiment by placing your subwoofer at various  
positions within the room, and choose the one that  
provides the most satisfying results.  
k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They signifi-  
cantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the  
about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting Your Speakers  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
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 ohms, be sure  
to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”  
(47). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and  
use the amplifier at high volume levels 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.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)  
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)  
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.  
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two sur-  
round speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not con-  
nect them to the SURR BACK L/R, FRONT WIDE/  
ZONE 2 L/R, or FRONT HIGH/ZONE 3 L/R termi-  
nals.  
Speaker Configuration  
The following table indicates the channels you should use  
depending on the number of speakers that you have.

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround  
back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two  
directions.  
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to  
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole  
speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point  
toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speak-  
ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward  
each other, as shown.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers  
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be  
used with front speakers and surround back speakers respec-  
tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds  
for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing  
improved bass and treble performance.  
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to  
a 7.1 speaker system in the main room.  
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the  
front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R ter-  
minal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.  
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown  
below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the  
Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-  
amping (47).

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from  
HDMI output. However, because the AV receiver selects the video input in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you  
have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN.  
To use multichannel input, audio input settings are required (62). You can adjust the sensitivity to the subwoofer signal input  
using multichannel input (46).  
• The AV receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
• With connection D, you can listen and record audio from the external components while you are in Zone 2/3. You can listen and record  
audio from the external components in the main room; you can listen to the audio in Zone 2/3 as well.  
• With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen in Zone 2/3 as well, use C and D.)  
How to record the video

Step 1:  
Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected  
with an analog audio cable (connection D in the hookup  
examples) (19).  
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied  
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).  
• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either  
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting addi-  
tional u-capable components.  
Step 2:  
Make the u connection (see illustration below).  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other  
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.  
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to  
the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,  
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.  
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting  
(43), which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI  
output.  
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-  
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).  
To by-pass video upconversion in the AV receiver, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and RETURN on the AV  
receiver. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press RETURN to toggle until “Skip” appears on the  
display. Release both buttons.  
To use the video upconversion in the AV receiver, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and  
release the buttons.  
“Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”  
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,  
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and  
component video sources all being upconverted for the  
HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect the AV  
receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB,  
respectively, to your TV.

Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup  
TV  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,  
Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number  
of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass man-  
agement, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer  
(if present), and distances from the primary listening posi-  
tion.  
d e f  
c a b  
Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by  
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems  
over the listening area in both the frequency and time  
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for every-  
one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use  
: Listening area  
a to f: Listening position  
Note  
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio  
Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measure-  
ments. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, flu-  
orescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other  
devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place  
it away from all audio electronics.  
• The microphone picks up test tones which played through each  
speaker as Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker  
Setup run.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ , which maintains the proper  
octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (52).  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (52), the “Equalizer”  
setting will be set to “Audyssey” (49). On the other  
hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting  
will be set to “Off” (52).  
• Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot  
be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 6 positions. Total  
measurement time varies depending on the number of  
speakers.  
Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.  
On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver  
is connected.

Using Audyssey MultEQ  
Using Audyssey MultEQ to create a listening environment  
in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,  
Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six posi-  
tions within the listening area. Position the microphone at  
ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip  
pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold  
the microphone in your hand during measurements as this  
will produce inaccurate results.  
SETUP MIC jack  
Speaker setup microphone  
First measurement position  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would nor-  
mally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses  
the measurements from this position to calculate  
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum cross-  
over value for the subwoofer.  
The speaker setting menu appears.

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup,  
please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to  
80 Hz (THX) crossover (47).  
• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and  
the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level  
and the distance of the subwoofer manually.  
• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice  
irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the  
main speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them  
manually.  
Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very  
low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be  
detected by Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and  
Speaker Setup.  
If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker  
Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s  
volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover  
frequency, and then try running Audyssey MultEQ Room  
Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the vol-  
ume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues  
may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the sub-  
woofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct.  
Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

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.  
Connecting a Recording Component  
On the source component, start playback.  
If you select another input source during recording,  
that input source will be recorded.  
3
Recording Separate AV Sources  
Here you can record audio and video from completely  
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your  
video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact  
that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD, PHONO,  
etc.) is selected, the video input source remains  
unchanged.  
L
R
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder  
connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded  
by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
AUDIO  
IN  
VIDEO  
IN  
Cassette, CDR, MD,  
etc.  
VCR, DVD recorder  
Camcorder  
Note  
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is  
not possible while it’s in Standby mode.  
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to  
the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-  
nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the  
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-  
plied with your TV and VCR for details.  
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be  
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is  
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must  
be connected to a composite video output.  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be  
recorded.  
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.  
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only  
analog inputs can be recorded.  
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog  
recording of DTS CDs or LDs.  
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is pro-  
vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you  
want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two  
additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.  
This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth  
channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.  
This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel  
sources.

channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing  
has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in  
the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels  
found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height  
channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual  
cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX  
applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the  
front and surround channels.

HDMI Input  
Note  
• For composite video, S-Video, and component video upconver-  
sion for the HDMI output, the “Monitor Out” setting must be  
set to other than “Analog” (43), and the “HDMI Input” set-  
ting must be set to “- - - - -”. See “Video Connection Formats”  
for more information on video signal flow and upconversion  
(22).  
• If no video component is connected to HDMI output (even if the  
HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video  
source based on the setting of “Component Video Input”.  
• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained  
here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital  
Audio Input” (46). In this case, if you want to use the coaxial  
or optical audio input, make the selection in the Audio Selector  
in the Home menu (27).  
• “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the  
- - - - -” option.  
• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated  
iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input  
to “PORT” selector.  
• Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to  
TV/CD” selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On”  
(59). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics  
Control) operation will not be guaranteed.  
If you connect a video component to an HDMI input, you  
must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if  
you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to HDMI  
IN 2, you must assign “HDMI 2” to the “BD/DVD” input  
selector.  
If you’ve connected your TV to the AV receiver with an  
HDMI cable, composite video, S-video and component

audio input, make the selection in the “Audio Selector” in the  
Home menu (62).  
• Available sampling rate for PCM signals from a digital input  
(optical and coaxial) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz/16, 20, 24 bit.  
• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated  
iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any  
input to “PORT” selector.  
• For composite video and S-Video upconversion for the COM-  
PONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT, the “Monitor Out” set-  
ting must be set to “Analog” (43), and the “Component  
Video Input” setting must be set to “- - - - -”. See “Video Con-  
nection Formats” for more information on video signal flow and  
upconversion (22).  
• If not connected to the same output you have selected in the  
Monitor Out” setting, the “Monitor Out” setting will be auto-  
matically switched to “Analog” (43).  
• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated  
iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any  
input to “PORT” selector.  
Analog Audio Input  
Some DVD players output the LFE channel from their  
analog subwoofer output at 15 dB higher than normal.  
With this setting, you can change the AV receiver’s sub-  
woofer sensitivity to match your DVD player.  
Digital Audio Input  
If you connect a component to a digital audio input, you  
must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if  
you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN 1, you  
must assign “OPT 1” to the “TV/CD” input selector.  
Here are the default assignments.  
Subwoofer Input Sensitivity  
`0dB to 15dB in 5 dB step.  
Note  
• This setting only affects signals connected to the AV receiver’s  
multichannel input SUBWOOFER jack.  
• If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the 10 dB or  
15 dB setting.

THX Loudness Plus  
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology  
featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™  
Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home  
theater audiences can now experience the rich details in  
a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of  
turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-  
tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently  
by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the  
tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is  
reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround  
channel levels and frequency response. This enables  
users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard-  
less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-  
matically applied when listening in any THX listening  
mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX  
Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX  
Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.  
Note  
• If the “Center” setting is set to “None” (47), this setting is  
fixed at “Left / Right”.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard  
film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref-  
erence response and surround envelopment when the  
volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-  
ence level is not always used in music or other non-film  
content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset  
provides three offsets from the film level reference  
(5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the  
mix level of the content is not within the standard.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great  
sound even when listening at low volume levels.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-  
rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking  
into account human perception and room acoustics. It  
does so by selecting the correct frequency response and  
surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the  
content sounds the way it was created at any volume  
level — not just at reference level.  
Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This set-  
ting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to  
be of equal loudness.  
Note  
• Even if you have selected other than “Audyssey” in “Equalizer”  
setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup, selecting “On” in the “Dynamic EQ” will  
change the “Equalizer” setting to “Audyssey” (49).  
• If you would like to use Audyssey Dynamic Volume, when  
using THX listening modes, set “Loudness Plus” setting to  
Off” and set “Preserve THX Settings” setting to “No” (49).  
• When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, “Equalizer” is set  
to “Audyssey” (49) and “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On”.  
When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume”  
becomes “Off” automatically.  
Note  
• If Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected, this setting  
cannot be selected.

Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by  
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems  
over the listening area in both the frequency and time  
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for every-  
one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper  
octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
Select this setting for content that has a very wide  
dynamic range, such as classical music.  
`10dB:  
Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a  
wider dynamic range. This setting should also be  
selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at  
10 dB below film reference.  
`15dB:  
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro-  
gram material that is mixed at very high listening  
levels and has a compressed dynamic range.  
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer-  
ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the-  
ater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that  
–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise  
produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening  
position. A home theater system automatically cali-  
®
brated by Audyssey MultEQ will play at reference  
level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB  
position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mix-  
ers heard it.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-  
rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking  
into account human perception and room acoustics.  
Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and  
surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-  
selected volume setting. The result is bass response,  
tonal balance, and surround impression that remain con-  
stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines  
information from incoming source levels with actual  
output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-  
ering a loudness correction solution.  
IntelliVolume  
`–12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.  
With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each  
input selector individually. This is useful if one of your  
source components is louder or quieter than the others.  
Use e/r to set the level.  
If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use e  
to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use r to  
increase its input level.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with  
A/V Sync  
®
Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for  
every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume  
When using your DVD player’s progressive scanning  
function, you may find that the picture and sound are out  
of sync. With the A/V Sync setting, you can correct this  
by applying a delay to the audio signal.  
To view the TV picture while setting the delay, press  
ENTER.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large  
variations in volume level between television programs,  
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of  
movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume  
setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of  
program material is being perceived by listeners in real  
time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. When-  
ever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary  
rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired  
playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic  
range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into  
Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is  
adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response,  
tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity  
remain the same whether watching movies, flipping  
between television channels, or changing from stereo to  
surround sound content.  
To return to the previous screen, press RETURN.  
If HDMI Lip Sync is enabled (58) and your TV or dis-  
play supports HDMI Lip Sync, the displayed delay time  
will be the summation of the A/V Sync delay time and the  
HDMI Lip Sync delay time. The HDMI Lip Sync delay  
time is displayed underneath in parentheses.  
Note  
• A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio listening mode is  
selected, or when the Direct listening mode is used with an ana-  
log input source.  
• “A/V Sync” is not operable when the input selector is set to  
NET/USB”.

NET/USB  
About NET  
Connecting the AV Receiver  
The AV receiver is network-ready, which means you can  
hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet  
cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or  
media server. If your network is connected to the Internet,  
you can also enjoy Internet radio.  
To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug  
one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV  
receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a  
LAN port on your router or switch.  
The following diagram shows how you can connect the  
AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s  
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port  
100Base-TX switch built-in.  
Network Requirements  
Ethernet Network  
For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network  
is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a  
computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, play-  
back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-  
mended.  
Ethernet Router  
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying  
IP addresses. Your router must support the following:  
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-  
eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-  
neously via a single Internet connection. The AV  
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.  
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP  
supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them  
to configure themselves automatically.  
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-  
mended.  
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs  
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP  
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
Internet radio  
Modem  
WAN port  
Router  
LAN port  
LAN port  
CAT5 Ethernet cable  
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to con-  
nect the AV receiver to your home network.  
LAN/Ethernet port  
Internet Access (for Internet radio)  
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must  
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection  
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory  
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-  
mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please  
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
Computer or media server  
Note  
• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband  
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.  
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet  
connection.  
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings  
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,  
see “Network Settings” (69).  
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have  
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com-  
patible router.  
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server  
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a  
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver (69).

Listening to Internet Radio  
Note  
• When the NETWORK indicator flashes, confirm that the  
Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the AV receiver.  
• Services available may vary depending on the region. See  
the separate instructions for more information.  
To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s  
network settings manually.  
If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to  
change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set use  
DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e.,  
DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router’s DHCP  
server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP  
addresses, you’ll need to configure these settings yourself,  
in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is  
essential.  
Tip  
• The NETWORK indicator on the product’s display lights  
up. When it flashes, confirm the network connection.  
Note  
• While the music files on another media server are being  
played, remote playback cannot be used. Stop playback on  
another media server.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by  
routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to  
automatically configure themselves on a network.  
What’s DNS?  
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain  
names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a  
domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web  
browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS  
to translate this into an IP address, in this case  
63.148.251.142.

your iPod is in the UP-A1 Dock and connected to the  
UNIVERSAL PORT jack on the AV receiver. While your  
iPod is seated in the UP-A1 Dock, its battery will be  
charged when the AV receiver is set to “On” or “Standby”.  
With the UP-A1 Dock, you can easily play the music,  
photo, or movie stored on your Apple iPod through the AV  
receiver and enjoy great sound.  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to operate  
your iPod.  
Note  
Basic Operation  
• When UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod is connected, the power  
consumption on standby mode slightly increases.  
The AV receiver may take several seconds to startup, so  
you might not hear the first few seconds of the first  
song.  
Status Messages  
• PORT Reading  
The AV receiver is checking the connection with the  
dock.  
• PORT Not Support  
The AV receiver do not support the connected dock.  
• PORT UP-A1  
UP-A1 Dock is connected.  
Auto Power On  
If you start iPod playback while the AV receiver is on  
Standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and  
select your iPod as the input source.  
Direct Change  
If you start iPod playback while listening to another input  
source, the AV receiver will automatically select your iPod  
as the input source.  
Using the AV receiver’s Remote Controller  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control  
basic iPod functions (82).  
Note  
• The AV receiver displays the message “UP-A1” for several sec-  
onds after recognizing the UP-A1.  
• When the status message is not displayed on the AV receiver’s  
display, check the connection to your iPod.  
ND-S1  
Operating Notes  
With the ND-S1 Digital Media Transport, you can easily  
play the music stored on your iPod through the AV  
receiver and enjoy great sound.  
The ND-S1 processes the digital audio signal directly  
from your iPod for high-quality digital audio output (opti-  
cal or coaxial).  
• Functionality depends on your iPod model and generation.  
• Before selecting a different input source, stop iPod playback  
to prevent the AV receiver from selecting the iPod input  
source by mistake.  
• If any accessories are connected to your iPod, the AV receiver  
may not be able to select the input source properly.  
• When connecting UP-A1 Dock to the radio tuner UP-HT1  
(North American models)/UP-DT1 (European and Asian  
models) with AUTO selected by the tuner’s Mode Selector  
switch, you can switch the input source between UP-A1 Dock  
and the tuner, by pressing PORT repeatedly on the front  
panel.  
Note  
You must select “iPod” using ND-S1’s iPod/PC button.  
• Set the AV receiver’s Input Display to “DOCK” (27).  
• While your iPod is in the UP-A1 Dock, its volume control has  
no effect. If you adjust your iPod models volume control while  
it’s in the UP-A1 Dock, make sure it’s not set too high before  
you reconnect your headphones.  
• The Auto Power On function will not work if you set your  
iPod in the UP-A1 Dock while it is playing.  
• When Zone 2/3 is turned on, you can’t use Auto Power On and  
Direct Change functions.  
• Do not turn off the power with the iPod still connected to this  
unit via the UP-A1 Dock.  
• Set your iPod in the UP-A1 Dock after the AV receiver turns  
on.

• Use the AV receiver’s volume control to adjust the playback  
volume.  
• While your iPod is inserted in the ND-S1 or RI Dock, its vol-  
ume control has no effect. If you adjust your iPod models vol-  
ume control while it’s in the UP-A1 Dock, make sure it’s not set  
too high before you reconnect your headphones.  
With the RI Dock, you can easily play the music stored on  
your Apple iPod through the AV receiver and enjoy great

• With some iPod models, generations and RI Docks, certain buttons may not work as expected.

*1  
This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-A2X RI Dock on or off. Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this  
button, in which case you should press it again.  
This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will  
remain on when the remote controller transmits an On command.  
Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.  
Press DISPLAY to change the following modes:

Learning Commands  
The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the com-  
mands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for  
example, the Play command from your CD player’s  
remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and  
then transmit the exact same command when its 1 is  
pressed in the CD remote mode.

• The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE  
MODE, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC and  
MODE.  
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 com-  
mands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of  
memory are learned.  
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on  
are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD  
players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can  
learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed  
commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (87).  
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this proce-  
dure.

AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it  
on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/  
STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and  
the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.  
Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed 17  
in all the way.  
Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- 18-20  
nents are connected properly.  
Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is 13  
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with  
the metal part of each speaker terminal.  
Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 25  
Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. 13  
Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.

an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output set-  
tings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.  
RECEIVER  
HOME  
Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
37

radio station or mono TV program, the sound is con-  
centrated in the center speaker.  
The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2/3 is on.  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
If no surround back speakers, front wide and front  
high speakers are connected, or the Zone 2/3 speak-  
ers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.  
In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 50  
output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set  
to “Center”.  
You can not always select all of the listening modes, 3741  
depending on the number of the speakers connected.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
47  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
(The volume cannot be set to Max(100.0))  
When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or  
Mono listening mode is selected, the surround  
speakers produce no sound.  
Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.  
57  
If the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted to high positive values, then the maxi-  
mum master volume possible may be reduced. Note  
that the individual speaker volume levels are set  
automatically after Audyssey MultEQ® Room Cor-  
rection and Speaker Setup function has been com-  
pleted.  
29, 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.  
47  
The center speaker produces no sound  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound.  
Noise can be heard  
In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 50  
output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set  
to “Left / Right”.  
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.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
47  
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
The front high, front wide and surround back  
speakers produce no sound  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 37  
may be produced by the front high, front wide and  
surround back speakers. Select another listening  
mode.  
Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.  
61  
About DTS signals  
Not much sound may be produced by the front high,  
front wide and surround back speakers with some  
sources.  
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 for-  
ward, 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 three seconds, and  
then resume playback.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
47  
While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the 73  
main room is reduced to 7.1-channels and the front  
wide and surround back speakers produce no sound.  
While Powered Zone 3 is being used, playback in the 74  
main room is reduced to 7.1-channels and the front  
high and surround back speakers produce no sound.  
With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to  
playback DTS material properly even though your  
player is connected 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 recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such  
cases, you may hear noise.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
When you play source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-  
duces no sound.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
47  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
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 malfunction.  
Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.

nals from the video processor.  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal  
processing 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.

About HDMI  
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital  
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video compo-  
nents. 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, multichan-  
nel 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.)  
*2  
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:  
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution  
Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM  
Supported Audio Formats  
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)  
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD  
Master Audio)  
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.  
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.  
*1  
*2  
*3  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.  
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.  
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.  
*3  
Note  
• The HDMI video stream 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. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for  
audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.  
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or  
there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for  
details.

Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder  
p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo  
components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over  
HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-  
tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.  
About p-compatible components
