Speaker Configuration  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
The following table indicates the channels you should use  
depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered  
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid  
bass.  
To get the best from your surround sound system, you  
need to set the speaker settings automatically  
(page 31) or manually (page 47).  
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”  
(page 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.

speakers  
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.  
Front speakers ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔  
• 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.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels  
The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification  
purpose.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

you need to do is to match the color of each label to the  
corresponding speaker terminal.

Using Dipole Speakers  
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 (A) should be positioned so that their arrows  
point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (B) should be  
positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer  
(low) terminals.  
• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-  
amping. Refer to your speaker manual.  
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance.  
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up  
to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.  
Tweeter (high)

Audio Return Channel (ARC) function  
Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT MAIN  
of the AV receiver.  
• This function can be used when:  
– your TV is ARC capable, and  
– the TV/CD input selector is selected, and  
– “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On”(page 60), and  
– “Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 61).  
Tip  
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:  
– Set the “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting to “On” (page 60) for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 61) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI  
Control(RIHD)” setting to “Off”.  
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
– To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (page 18).  
Note  
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV  
screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to  
another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.  
• As the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (page 61) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV  
receiver’s speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to On”  
(page 60) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound if you adjust  
the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers from producing sound, you  
can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.

Connect a turntable (MM) that has a built-in phono preamp to TV/CD IN, or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned  
off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect it to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type  
cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s  
manual for details.  
If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire  
may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

With the supplied calibrated microphone,

Audyssey MultEQ XT automatically determines the  
number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of  
bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the  
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary  
listening position.

Audyssey MultEQ XT 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  
everyone. Audyssey MultEQ XT can be used with  
: Listening area  
a to h: Listening position  
Note  
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio  
Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room  
measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air  
conditioners, fluorescent 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 played through each speaker

Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
Audyssey MultEQ XT offers two ways of measuring: the  
Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey MultEQ XT  
Full Calibration”.  
• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from  
one position to perform the speaker setting only.  
• “Audyssey MultEQ XT Full Calibration” uses the  
measurement from eight positions to correct room  
response in addition to the speaker setting.  
The more positions are used in measuring, the better the  
listening environment will become. We recommend using  
a measurement from eight positions to create the best  
listening environment.  
• Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup  
cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.  
On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver  
is connected.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number  
of speakers.  
Measurement procedure  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT takes  
measurements at up to eight positions 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.  
Speaker setup microphone  
The speaker setting menu appears.  
Note  
• The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected  
to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to other  
video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when  
changing settings.  
First measurement position  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would  
normally sit within the listening environment.  
Audyssey MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this  
position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity,  
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.  
Secondeighth measurement positions  
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places  
where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up  
to eight positions.

Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve  
surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds  
Wide 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 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  
• 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” (page 47). In this case, if you want to use the  
coaxial or optical audio input, make the appropriate selection in  
the “Audio Selector” setting (page 57).  
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 “HDMI2” 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

HDMI output. You can set this for each input selector by  
selecting the “- - - - -option. See “Video Connection  
Formats” for more information on video signal flow and  
upconversion (page 88).  
• “AUX” is used only for input from the front panel.  
• Do not assign an HDMI IN to the TV/CD selector while “HDMI  
Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (page 60), otherwise  
appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will  
not be guaranteed.

THX Audio Setup  
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 certain 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 regardless of the volume  
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically 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.

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 controls the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel

Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in  
volume levels which can occur between different contents  
or source components, freeing the user from having to  
make volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the  
frequency balance according to the playback volume, it  
recreates the original source audio. Dolby Volume  
therefore provides comfortable listening, effectively  
controlling the volume level difference without unnatural  
changes in volume or sound quality to recreate the balance  
and nuance of the source audio.  
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.  
Changing the value from “0” to “5” will spread the sound  
of the center channel to left and right (outwards).

In off mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble  
attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds  
reference level. This enables a more perceptually flat  
listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to  
bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however,  
prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher  
gain levels.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of  
A/V Sync  
deteriorating 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 constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic  
EQ combines information from incoming source levels  
with actual output sound levels in the room, a  
`0msec to 800msec in 5 msec steps.  
When using progressive scanning on your Blu-ray

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume  
Note  
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.  
Whenever 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.  
• A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio listening mode is  
selected, or when the Direct listening mode is used with an  
analog input source.  
• This setting cannot be used with the NET input selector.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s  
network settings manually.  
Network Control  
`Enable  
`Disable  
If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to  
change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to  
use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default  
(i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s  
DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static  
IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in  
which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is  
essential.  
This setting enables or disables control over the network.  
Note  
• When set to “Enable”, the NET indicator is dimly-lit and the  
power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.  
Control Port  
`49152” to “65535”  
This is the network port used for control over the network.  
What’s DHCP?  
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?  
Note  
• When the “Network Control” setting is set to “Disable”, this  
setting is cannot be selected.  
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.  
Firmware Update  
Note  
• Perform the firmware update only when such an announcement  
is posted on the Onkyo web site. Visit the Onkyo web site for the  
latest information.  
• It takes maximum 60 minutes to complete the firmware update.  
• When updating a firmware from a USB mass storage device, the  
AV receiver searches the device which is connected earlier  
during power on. If two devices have been connected at the time  
of power on, the AV receiver will search the device on the front  
panel.  
MAC Address  
This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control)  
address. This address cannot be changed.

Learning Commands  
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:  
8RECEIVER, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC,  
REMOTE MODE, MODE, HOME.  
The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the  
commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting,  
for example, the Play command from your CD player’s  
remote controller, the supplied remote controller can learn  
it, and then reproduce the exact same command when its  
1 is pressed in CD remote mode.  
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90  
commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot  
of memory are learned.  
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, and Pause 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  
This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote  
control code (page 74) but some buttons don’t work  
as expected.  
• To overwrite a previously acquire command, repeat this  
procedure.  
8RECEIVER  
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may  
be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some  
remotes with which learning is impossible.  
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be acquire.  
• When the remote controller runs out of batteries, all commands  
acquired will be lost and will have to be learned all over again.  
Therefore, do not discard your other remote controllers.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue  
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
When the power is restored after a power  
interruption, “CHECK SP WIRE” appears on the  
display  
The protection circuit has been activated. Remove  
the power cord from the wall outlet immediately.  
Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and  
leave the AV receiver with its power cord  
disconnected 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.  
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the  
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  
8ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display  
and the AV receiver will enter standby mode.

Only the front speakers produce sound  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
only the front speakers and subwoofer produce  
sound.  
Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 3539  
cannot be selected.  
In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 51  
output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set  
to “Left / Right”.  
Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode  
The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2/3 is on.  
Check the Speaker Configuration.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro  
Logic IIx Music, or Dolby 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.  
If no surround back speakers, front wide and front  
high speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers  
are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.  
Depending on the number of connected speakers, it 3539  
is not always possible to select all of the listening  
modes.  
In the Mono listening mode, only the center speaker 51  
output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set  
to “Center”.  
The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.  
If the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted to high positive values, then the  
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.  
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are  
set automatically after the Audyssey MultEQ® XT  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup has been  
performed.  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or  
Mono listening mode is selected, the surround  
speakers produce no sound.  
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.  
Noise can be heard  
Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and the like may degrade the  
audio performance, so refrain from doing it.  
The center speaker produces no sound  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound.  
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 51  
output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set  
to “Left / Right”.  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.  
The front high, front wide and surround back  
speakers produce no sound  
The analog multichannel input doesn’t work

Make sure that the multichannel input is selected.  
Check the audio output settings on your source  
component.  
Depending on the sound source, the sound produced  
by the front high, front wide and surround back  
speakers may be weak.  
About DTS signals  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
When DTS program material ends and the DTS  
bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS  
listening 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 three  
seconds, and then resume playback.  
While the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”, 66  
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-  
channels and the front wide and surround back  
speakers produce no sound.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
When you play a source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer  
produces 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.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
Check the digital audio output setting on the  
connected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback  
The AV receiver can upconvert component video, S-  
Video, and composite video sources for display on a TV  
connected to the HDMI output(s). However, if the picture  
quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the  
picture worse or disappear altogether.  
In this case, try the following:  
If the video source is connected to a component  
video input, connect your TV to the  
1
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT.  
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input,  
connect your TV to a MONITOR OUT S.  
If the video source is connected to a composite video  
input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.  
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.  
On the main menu, select “Input/Output Assign”  
and then “Component Video Input” (page 46).

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT  
VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and  
assign it to “IN1”.  
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  
correctly.  
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT  
VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and  
assign it to “IN2”.  
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input  
or composite video input, select the relevant input  
selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the AV receiver to standby.

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path  
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.  
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to  
other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video components 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.  
Tip  
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component  
video input passing through to component video output).  
“Monitor Out” set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

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  
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.)  
*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, DeepColor, 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.

Network/USB Features  
Connecting to the Network  
Network Requirements  
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.  
Ethernet Network  
For the 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, playback may be unreliable, so it is  
recommended to use wired connections.  
Internet radio  
Ethernet Router  
A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying  
of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:  
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows  
several networked computers to access the Internet  
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV  
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.  
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP  
supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing  
them to configure themselves automatically.  
• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is  
recommended.  
Modem  
Router  
WAN  
LAN  
Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs  
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP  
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
CAT5 Ethernet cable  
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to  
connect the AV receiver to your home network.  
Computer or media server  
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  
recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).  
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re  
unsure.  
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,  
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have  
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-  
compatible 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

• If the media you connect is not supported, the message “No  
Storage” will appear on the display.  
• If you connect a USB hard disk drive to the AV receiver’s USB  
port, we recommend that you use its AC adapter to power it.  
• The AV receiver supports USB MP3 players that support the  
USB Mass Storage Class standard, which allows USB devices to  
be connected to computers without the need for special drivers  
or software. Note that not all USB MP3 players support the USB  
Mass Storage Class standard. Refer to your USB MP3 player’s  
instruction manual for details.  
• Each folder may contain up to 20000 music files, and  
folders may be nested up to 16 levels deep.  
Note  
• Depending on the media server, the AV receiver may not  
recognize it, or may not be able to play its music files.  
• Protected WMA music files on an MP3 player cannot be played.  
• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss or  
damage to data stored on a USB device when that device is used  
with the AV receiver. We recommend that you back up your  
important music files beforehand.  
• MP3 players containing music files that are managed with  
special music software are not supported.  
• Operation is not guaranteed for all USB devices, which includes  
the ability to power them.  
• Do not connect your USB device via a USB hub. The USB
