Features  
■ AMPLIFIER FEATURES  
■ AUDIO/VIDEO FEATURES  
130 WATTS MINIMUM OF CONTINUOUS RMS POWER  
to each of the 7channels into 8 Ω, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no  
more than 0.05%THD (FTC rating)–clean high-current  
amplification provides incredible dynamic range for seamless  
reproduction of even the most demanding cinema soundtracks, as  
well as animatedly rich music at any volume level.  
THX SURROUND EX® BUILT IN to decode the additional two  
back surround channels from THX Surround EX-encoded DVDs and  
laserdiscs, for incredibly real 360˚ surround sound effects and precise  
sound location.  
DTS® DECODER BUILT IN to decode the impeccable 5.1-channel  
digital audio from DTS-encoded DVD-Video discs, DVD-Audio  
discs, CDs and laserdiscs.  
7.1-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER–the first receiver to achieve this feat  
in one chassis–the TX-DS989 provides unparalleled power and clarity  
to all 7.1-channels for a room-filling sound experience seconds to none.  
DOLBY®* DIGITAL DECODER BUILT IN to decode the 5.1-  
channel crystal-clear digital audio of DVDs, Digital TV, HDTV,  
satellite broadcasts and other sources.  
LUCASFILM THX® ULTRA CERTIFIED–in addition to the  
amazing ability to drive 7.1 channels, the TX-DS989 also boasts  
the distinction of carrying the exclusive THX Ultra badge of  
approval–assurance that this receiver passed (and often exceeds)  
THX's numerous requirements in such areas as frequency  
response, distortion, power output, and stability.  
DOLBY® PRO LOGIC™ DECODER  
MPEG DECODEING for full compatibility with MPEG-encoded  
software and broadcasts.  
DIGITAL UPSAMPLING MODE–the first receiver to have  
192kHz/24-bit DACs for all channels enables the TX-DS989 to take a  
48kHz digital signal and double its sampling frequency to 96kHz–  
twice as much signal information, for greater detail and clarity.  
192kHz/24-BIT D/A CONVERTERS FOR ALL CHANNELS–  
the first receiver in the industry to utilize these powerful converters  
for all seven channels–the TX-DS989's DACs not only boast a  
dynamic range of 120dB, they also process more information faster  
and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best  
performance possible from DVD-Audio and other upcoming formats,  
while also producing cleaner, clearer sound form DVDs and CDs.  
THEATER-DIMENSIONAL™ VIRTUAL SURROUND MODE  
A/V SYNC DELAY  
LUCASFILM THX® ULTRA FULL-ENHANCEMENT  
PACKAGE–includes such sophisticated DSP enhancements as  
Cinema Re-EQ™, Timbre Matching™, Adaptive Decorrelation™, and  
Bass Management™ to ensure accurate reproduction of the movie-  
theater experience in the home.  
WIDE RANGE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY(WRAT)  
WRAT virtually eliminates the adverse effects of counter-  
electromotive force by: 1) applying an uncommonly low amount of  
NFB (negative feed-back), 2) using carefully selected, high-tolerance,  
wide range parts in all critical sections, and 3) incorporating innovative  
circuit topology based upon decades of high-end amplifier-design  
experience–the final result is a flat response beyond 100kHz, making  
the TX-DS989 ideal for such high-resolution formats as DVD-Audio  
and Super Audio CD, and other upcoming digital formats.  
7.1-CHANNEL EXTERNAL INPUTS  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUTS  
■ OTHER FEATURES  
40 FM/AM RANDOM PRESETS  
INTELLIVOLUME  
■ FLEXBILITY FEATURES  
FUTURE-PROOF INTERFACE ARCHITECTURE–a versatile  
RS232 port allows the TX-DS989's powerful 4Mbit Flash Memory to  
be directly computer accessed for installing such future upgrades as  
new DSP algorithms, new surround formats/parameters, and other  
types of processing updates.  
ABSOLUTE/RELATIVE SWITCHABLE VOLUME DISPLAY  
ZONE 2 MULTIROOM/MULTISOURCE CAPABILITY–a  
full set of line outs for audio, composite video, and S-video, allows for  
set-up of an additional system in another room–connect an optional  
infrared eye in Zone 2, and complete second-room control can be  
achieved with such A/V distribution control systems as Xantech®,  
Niles®, to name but a few.

Notes:  
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds  
of batteries.  
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote  
controller is not to be used for a long time.  
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from  
corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,  
replace both the batteries at the same time.  
• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this  
will vary depending on usage.  
Using the remote controller  
TX-DS989  
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The  
STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal  
from the remote controller.

Approx. 5 meters  
• Do not put objects on the remote controller. The buttons of the  
remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the  
batteries.  
• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass.  
Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote  
controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the  
remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.  
Memory preservation  
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A  
built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents  
of the memory during power failures and even when the  
POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set  
to on in order to charge the backup system.  
The memory preservation period after the unit has been  
turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the  
unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a  
period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been  
turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a  
highly humid climate.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
If your DVD player or other device has component video  
connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video  
connectors on the TX-DS989. The TX-DS989 has three  
component video input connectors to obtain the color information  
(Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video  
component and one component video output connector to output it  
directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending  
the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal  
forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the  
image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with  
incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.  
• Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish  
using an AMP IN jack, replace the jumper plug.  
PRE OUT  
These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifiers.  
• When connecting auxiliary power amplifiers, remove the

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
(coaxial, optical, and input-only AC-3RF)  
These are the digital audio inputs and outputs. There are 5 digital  
inputs with coaxial jacks, 3 with optical jacks, and 1 AC-3RF  
input. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc,  
LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output,  
there is 1 coaxial output and 1 optical output. The digital outputs  
can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or  
other similar components.

If the DVD player or MPEG decoder that you are connecting to is  
provided with DB-25-to-DB-25 cable, then connect that directly to  
the TX-DS989 and do not use the cable supplied with the TX-DS989.  
When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws  
on the DB-25 connectors.  
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the  
TX-DS989. The power cord supplied is designed for use with  
the TX-DS989 and should not be used with any other device.  
• Never have the power cord disconnected from the TX-DS989  
while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so  
may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into  
the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall  
outlet first.  
RS 232  
The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external  
controller to control the operation of the TX-DS989 by using an  
external device. The RS 232 port may also be used in the future to  
update the operating software of the TX-DS989 so that it will be  
able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are  
introduced.  
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT  
By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component  
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1  
channel or 7.1 channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that  
can properly connect the TX-DS989 to the peripheral device.

Assembling the AM loop antenna  
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.  
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:  
• Refer to the next page for details on connecting the AM loop  
antenna.  
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend  
the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest  
signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in  
the position that will cause the least amount of distortion.  
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor  
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.  
Connecting the AM loop antenna:  
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction  
and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far  
away as possible from the TX-DS989, televisions, speaker cables,  
and power cords.  
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop  
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.  
Insert into the hole.

Connecting antennas  
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna  
Directional linkage  
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:  
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)  
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with  
each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna,  
use a directional linkage type splitter.  
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy  
roads, etc.).  
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it  
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.  
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding  
is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on  
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

The IR IN ZONE 2 input allows you to control the TX-DS989  
from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even  
though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram  
below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote  
zone.  
The ZONE 2 terminal is a constant output. Connect to the LINE  
input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume with the  
amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 terminal.  
1. Connect the TX-DS989 to the amplifier for the  
remote zone.  
The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for  
operation from the remote zone:  
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller  
Extension System), or  
2. Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the  
speaker terminals on the amplifier.  
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles®  
and Xantech® to name a few  
3. Connect the TX-DS989 to the monitor for the  
remote zone.  
Make connection as shown below. Do not plug the equipment into  
the power source until the connection is complete.  
4. Install the connecting block in the main zone  
and connect it to the IR IN ZONE 2 input at the  
TX-DS989.  
5. Install the remote sensor in the remote zone  
and connect it to the connecting block in the  
main zone.

Outline  
If the TX-DS989 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure  
where the infrared beams from the remote controller cannot enter,  
then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In  
such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a  
location outside of the cabinet for the infrared beams from the  
controller to reach.  
1. Connect the connecting block to the IR IN  
MAIN input at the TX-DS989.  
2. Install the remote sensor at a location where it  
can detect the infrared beams from the remote  
controller.  
3. Connect the remote sensor to the connecting  
block.

volumes than with the TX-DS989 alone. If power amplifiers are  
used, connect each speaker to the corresponding power amplifier.  
1. Remove the jumper plugs.  
2. Connect a graphic equalizer.  
1. Remove the jumper plugs.  
2. Connect the power amplifiers.

Sound comes from the front left speaker. Adjust the sound level  
between -12 and 12 decibels in 0.5-decibel intervals.  
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all  
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important  
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at  
different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room  
designs and configurations. These settings and the distance  
settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics  
required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.

Input Setup  
2. Input Setup menu  
2-1. Digital Setup sub-menu  
This menu allows you to setup the various input sources available  
with the TX-DS989. Each input source may have a great number  
of settings that are difficult to keep track of, so we recommend  
making a chart to record what you have set and for which  
component to prevent confusion later.  
The settings made in this sub-menu are valid for the input source  
that is currently selected with the input source buttons at the front  
panel and, therefore, these settings are made separately for each  
digital input source. This sub-menu will not appear if the  
Multichannel setting in the Multichannel Setup sub-menu is set to  
“On” for the selected input source, or if the selected input source  
button is AM, FM, or PHONO. If this setting is incorrectly made,  
the digital audio signals may not be properly output, or not heard at  
all.

a. Digital Input  
This setting tells the TX-DS989 which input source button on the  
front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear  
panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input  
source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input  
jack it is connected to here.  
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD  
and the compact disc player is connected to OPTICAL IN 1, then  
select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to  
a digital input, then select “----.”  
OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.  
OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.  
OPT3: Select if connected to the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 3.

– – – –: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.  
b. Digital Format  
The default setting is “Auto.” If “----” is selected for this input  
source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear.  
Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it  
as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know  
that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format  
from a particular input source).

Input Setup  
Auto: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format.  
The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, PCM or  
Analog) used by the selected input source is detected  
automatically to execute the required decoding process. If no  
digital signal is input, the input signals to the analog input  
jacks will be played.  
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from  
certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the  
player to the TX-DS989 digitally. This is because the digital  
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling  
frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-DS989 cannot  
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear  
noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.  
AC-3RF: Select if a LD player with an AC-3RF terminal is  
connected to the AC-3RF input on the TX-DS989. AC-3RF  
can only be selected if VIDEO 4 is selected as the input source.  
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE 1  
OUT, and TAPE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not  
record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs.  
If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.  
Digital: Select for automatic detection of a digital input signal  
format. The input digital signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS,  
MPEG, or PCM) used by the selected digital input source is  
detected automatically to execute the necessary decoding  
process.  
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is  
executed only when DTS signals are input.  
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is  
executed only when PCM signals are input.  
Analog: Regardless of whether the component is also digitally  
connected, the audio signals input from the component  
through the analog input jacks are played.  
Notes:  
• If “Auto” or “Digital” is selected and a compact disc or LD is  
fast-forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may  
produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to  
“PCM.”  
• If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played  
back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced.  
Always select “Auto,” “Digital,” or “DTS” when playing back  
DTS-encoded sources.  
Notes on DTS:  
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM”  
setting is selected on the TX-DS989, the DTS encoded signal  
will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could  
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to  
selected “Auto,” “Digital,” or “DTS” and use the digital input  
jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.  
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “Auto” or  
“Digital” setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short  
while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded  
signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.  
• If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while  
playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a  
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS”  
selected.  
• The DTS indicator on the TX-DS989 lights while a DTS  
source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal  
transmission stops, the TX-DS989 remains in DTS mode and  
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you  
operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if  
the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the  
PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback  
of the source on the player for about three seconds and then  
resume playback.

record and play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left  
and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE  
channel (Low Frequency Effect)for the low-range effect  
sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be heard in the  
theaters and concert halls.  
2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu  
With the TX-DS989, you can set a different listening mode for  
each different signal type that comes from each input source and  
also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example,  
if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video  
signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set  
a different listening mode for each.  
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types  
of movies or music.  
Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input  
sources. In addition, if “Yes” is set for multi channel for the input  
source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the  
“----” is set for the Digital Input setting in the Digital Setup sub-  
menu, then you can only select “Analog/PCM.”

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality  
adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left  
front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and  
not output to the subwoofer.  
c. PCM fs = 192 k  
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater  
than 192 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are  
recorded with extremely high quality audio.

d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)  
This mode is for listening to sources encoded with Dolby Digital  
in their plain format.  
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1-  
channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and  
LDs that have the

Dial norm  
DTS Film  
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is feature of Dolby  
Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in  
Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the  
front panel display that read Dial Norm xdB (“x” being a  
numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you  
know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or  
lower level than usual. For example, if you see the message  
“Dial Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall  
output level constant just turn down the volume control by  
4dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening  
to has been recorded 4dB louder than usual. If you do not see a  
message, then no adjustment of the volume control is  
necessary.

When listening to movies using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode  
allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding  
processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.  
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a  
joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX  
division of Lucasfilm Ltd.  
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded  
with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to  
reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the  
mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back,  
places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently  
available front left, front center, front right, surround right,  
surround left, and subwoofer channels.  
Pro Logic Musical (Dolby Pro Logic Musical)  
When listening to music using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode  
allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding  
processing that emphasizes the musical effects.  
Mono Movie  
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as  
old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the  
unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the  
center-channel sound processed with the appropriate  
reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the  
atmosphere of a movie theater.  
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more  
detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth,  
spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.  
When released to the home consumer market, movies that  
were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX  
technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging.  
A list of movies created using this technology can be found on  
the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com <http://  
www.dolby.com> .  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended  
that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker,  
and surround left and right speakers. However, if you do only have  
front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by  
using this mode.  
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX  
Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,  
faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.  
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX”  
mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is  
not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the  
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will  
be program dependent and may or may not be very  
pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the  
tastes of the individual listener.  
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches  
each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full  
effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to  
the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective  
sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the  
desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening  
position to minimize reflective sound.  
Action  
Enhanced 7  
This mode is designed for movie soundtracks that stress special  
effect sounds and surround effects. In addition to strengthening the  
low frequency ranges for the front left, front right, and surround  
speakers, it also increases the surround levels. Resonance is also  
cut for a movie-theater feeling and increased enjoyment.  
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment  
by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly  
toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV  
sports programs.  
Orchestra  
Musical  
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center  
channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen  
the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is  
created in large halls.  
This mode is designed for watching musicals and movie  
soundtracks where importance is placed on the music. By slightly  
increasing the mid to high frequency ranges from the center  
speaker, the vocals from the screen seem highlighted for added  
listening pleasure. This mode is optimum for playing software that  
stresses music, environmental sounds, and the front image.  
TV Logic  
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired  
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity  
of the conversation.  
Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logic/3 Stereo)  
This mode is for listening to recordings with Dolby surround,  
which consists of four channels (left, right, center, and monaural  
surround) and emphasizes the center channel. Dolby Pro Logic is  
very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-  
dimensional sound movement output from the three front  
channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of  
the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.  
Select this listening mode when you play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD,  
Unplugged  
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and  
jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate  
the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
or DVD video that has the  
mark.  
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are  
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling  
of being in a club or rock concert.  
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is  
divided and output from the front left and right channels.(3 Stereo)  
Pro Logic THX (Dolby Pro Logic THX)  
All Ch Stereo  
This mode is the same as the Dolby Pro Logic listening mode with  
the THX effects added as well. Select this mode when listening to  
movies that were encoded using Dolby Pro Logic.  
This mode is designed for playing background music. The front,  
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that  
encompasses the entire area.

a. A/V Sync  
a. Bass  
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when  
the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in  
perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not  
match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this  
setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting  
can be set between 0 to 30 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal  
circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. For input sources using the  
multi channel port, this setting will not appear.  
Press the cursor button to decrease the bass sounds and press the  
cursor button to increase the bass sounds. The bass can be  
adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels in two steps.  
b. Treble  
Press the cursor button to decrease the treble sounds and press  
the cursor button to increase the treble sounds. The treble can be  
adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels in two steps.  
b. Relative Delay  
Besides level and delay adjustments, the TX-DS989 provides the  
ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune  
the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using  
Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This  
adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers,  
which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet away. This  
adjustment is set up to provide -4 or +6 milliseconds (-4 or +6 feet)  
of adjustment to the listener’s position.  
Once the coarse adjustments--speaker level and distance  
adjustments--are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or  
broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of  
the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread  
out (deeper) or focused (shallower).

Listening Mode Setup  
Surround Speakers  
Description listening mode parameters  
This setting allows you to decide through which speakers to output  
the sound meant for the surround speakers during 5.1-channel  
output when seven speakers are connected to the TX-DS989.  
Subwoofer  
Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is  
connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the  
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.  
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and  
right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround  
back left and right speakers.  
Re-EQ/Academy  
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back  
left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left  
and right speakers.  
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or  
off, or you can select “Re-EQ,” “Academy,” or “Off.”  
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround  
left and right speakers and the surround back left and right  
speakers.  
Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or  
“brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate  
for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright  
when played back through speakers in the home environment.  
Front Effect  
Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on high-  
frequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced,  
so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film  
would not be heard. The high-frequency loss was typically due  
to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters,  
loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been  
transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and  
thus sound overly bright and hissy. The TX-DS989 includes  
this “Academy filter,” which is based on contemporary  
playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.  
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you  
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,  
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or  
presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation  
from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three  
front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any  
further reverberation.  
Reflect Lvl  
On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ.  
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound  
reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of  
your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5 and  
+5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.  
Off: Select to turn off both the re-equalization and Academy  
filters.  
Input Channel  
Reverb Lvl  
This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural  
sound.  
This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic  
reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics  
of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5  
and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.  
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances for output  
from both the left and right speakers.  
Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when  
playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a  
case, the left and right channels will contain different  
language. Select the channel with the language you desire.  
Room Size  
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each  
surround mode. You can choose from “Large,” “Mid-Large,”  
“Middle”, “Mid-Small”, or “Small.”  
Output Channel  
This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural  
sound. If “None” is selected for the Center Speaker setting in the  
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.  
Listening angle  
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and  
right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of 20 and 40  
degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is  
closest to your actual listening angle.  
L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right  
channels.  
Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center  
channel.  
Front left speaker  
Front right speaker  
Digital Upsampling  
Digital upsampling processes the input digital signal and converts  
its digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an  
even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either  
“On” or “Off.”  
Listening angle

Listening Mode Setup  
Center  
Virtual Surr Level  
For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal  
can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems  
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center  
speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a  
center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left  
and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)  
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set  
from -3 to +3 decibels.  
Dialog Enhance  
This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from  
the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.  
On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.  
On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.  
Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and  
right speakers (Phantom Center).  
Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and  
frequency characteristics.  
Front Expander  
The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front  
speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.  
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a  
wider sound space.  
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal  
sound space.

a. Volume Display  
You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting  
on screen.  
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min  
(0) for no sound and a maximum of max (100). As a reference,  
the volume setting of Ref (82) is used as the 0 -decibel for the  
relative display method.  
Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a  
scale with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0,  
which equals the volume setting of 82 for the absolute display  
method. With this display method, the minimum value is -∞,  
the next highest is -81, and the maximum value is +18.  
b. Muting Level  
This sets the attenuation level during playback when the Muting  
button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set between  
-∞, -50 and -10 decibels in 10-decibel increments.  
c. Maximum Volume  
This sets a maximum limit for the master volume to reduce the  
chance of any components becoming damaged from accidental  
increases to the volume. For the absolute volume display method,  
this can be set between 50 and 90. For the relative volume display  
method, this can be set between -32 and +17 decibels.  
d. Power On Volume  
This sets a designated volume setting for the TX-DS989 to be set  
every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the TX-  
DS989 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high  
volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute  
volume display method, this can be set between 0 and 99. For the  
relative volume display method, this can be set between -∞ and  
+18 decibels. If you do not mind having the TX-DS989 turned on  
with its current volume setting, set this to “Last Valid.”

The relationship between the OSD menu for the main zone and  
remote zone (Zone 2)  
The TX-DS989 cannot output the OSD menu for both the main  
and remote zones simultaneously. For example, if an input source  
with no image is selected at the main zone (only the background  
color is displayed on the television screen) and the Zone 2 input  
source is changed, then the display at the main zone changes from  
the background color to a display with no image and the display at  
Zone 2 changes to the OSD menu (Immediate Display). This is not  
a malfunction. To prevent this, change the c. Immediate Display  
setting for the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu to “OFF.”

Listening to FM/AM Radio Stations  
Tuning into a radio station  
One of the features of the TX-DS989 that is most frequently used  
is its ability to play FM and AM broadcast radio stations. The TX-  
DS989 provides a number of listening modes perfect for listening  
to the radio and getting the most out of your audio system. Also, by  
presetting radio stations that you listen to frequently, you can use  
the PRESET buttons on the front panel to go to them  
automatically.  
1. Press either the AM or FM input source button.  
2. Using the and Tuning buttons on the front  
panel, tune into the station you desire.  
When you tune into a radio station, > < surrounds the  
displayed frequency. If you tune into an FM station in stereo,  
then  
surrounds the displayed frequency. If the signal is  
weak, it may be impossible to tune into the station in stereo. In  
such a case, press the FM Mode button under the cover on the  
front panel. “Mono” appears for a few seconds under the  
frequency in the front display. To return to stereo, press the  
FM Mode button again. “Auto” appears for a few seconds and

Using remote controller  
Overview  
The RC-390M remote controller is a useful tool to help you  
operate the components of your home theater. To do so, first press  
the MODE button that corresponds to the device you wish to  
control. At this time, the display on the remote controller will  
change to show the component that is selected. Then simply press  
the desired operation button and the component will operate  
accordingly. For example, if you wish to select the CD input  
source at the TX-DS989 with the remote controller, first press the  
AUDIO/TAPE MODE button to select the TX-DS989 (“AUDIO”  
will appear on the display) and then press the CD (INPUT  
SELECTOR) button.

LIGHT: Illuminates the buttons  
be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is  
set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is  
narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds  
at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you  
wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.  
SLEEP: Sets the sleep function  
• The SLEEP buttons enables you to set the TX-DS989 to  
turn off automatically after a specified time period. If you  
press it once, the TX-DS989 will turn off after 90 minutes.  
Each time it is pressed thereafter, the remaining time until  
the TX-DS989 turns off decreases by 10 minutes. While,  
the sleep function is enabled, you can press the SLEEP  
button to see how much time is left. To cancel the sleep  
function, press the SLEEP button when the time displayed  
is less than 10 minutes.  
Notes:  
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determained by Dolby  
Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.  
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital  
encoded software.

The remote controller has two learning functions. One is a normal  
learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the  
Programming procedure  
codes from other remote controllers. The other is a macro learning  
When programming the commands of another remote controller to  
function that enables you to program of series of operations into  
the RC-390M remote controller, you must first decide under which  
the remote controller so that they can all be performed at once by  
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general,  
you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the  
pressing one button.  
component you are programming. For example, if you are  
programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact  
disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by  
pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-390M  
remote controller will change to the commands you program here  
to operate the compact disc player.  
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then  
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller  
over to the RC-390M remote controller one at a time. Each  
S
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-  
390M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote  
controller  
Notes:  
4. Press and hold down the button (that  
corresponds to the command you are  
programming) on the remote controller of the  
other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp on  
the remote controller flashes twice and  
“SAVED” appears in the display.  
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players,  
cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have  
already been programmed into buttons on the remote  
controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program  
the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore  
the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you  
must first erase the new codes (see page 63).  
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light  
again and “LEARN” appears in the display.  
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 51  
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands  
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such  
cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which  
commands are more important than others.  
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the  
commands you desire from the other remote  
controller and program them to buttons on the  
remote controller under the same MODE.  
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the  
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during  
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three  
times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the  
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from  
Step 2.  
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different  
MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote  
controller).  
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in  
step 2 to complete the programming.  
• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN  
indicator flashes three times quickly, “NG” appears in the  
display, and the remote controller exits the programming  
mode. Resume from Step 3.  
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to  
make sure the learning function was  
performed properly.  
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming,  
“ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller  
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.  
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the  
remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six  
times quickly, “FULL” appears in the display, and the remote  
controller exits the programming mode. Try programming  
under a different MODE button.  
• When you want to program a command to a button to which  
you have already programmed a command, simply follow the  
same procedure given and programming for that button will be  
overwritten.  
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,  
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote  
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller,  
be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is  
quite different from the remote controller and therefore may  
not be able to be programmed.  
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs  
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each  
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function  
must be programmed to a separate button on the remote  
controller.  
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other  
remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came  
with that product for instructions on how to operate that  
product.  
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote  
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries  
that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of  
the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.  
See page 63 for how to erase the memorized commands from all  
buttons.

Using a Macro function  
What is a Macro function?  
Programming a Macro function  
A Macro function enables you to program a series of button  
operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button.  
For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the TX-  
DS989 normally, you must perform the following steps:  
You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO  
button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then  
executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then  
pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the  
macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the  
steps given below.  
1. Press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.  
2. Press the POWER ON button.  
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.  
4. Press the CD MODE button.  
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button  
(in this case, the CD MODE button), press the  
MODE MACRO button, and then release both  
buttons.  
5. Press the playback button.  
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five  
When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/LEARN

2. Press the operation buttons you wish to  
program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/  
TAPE MODE → POWER ON → CD (INPUT  
SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback button).  
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns  
off and the display changes from “M 01” → “M 02” → “M 03”

Tips:  
Running a Macro function  
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed  
in a macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in  
the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to  
reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.  
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you  
have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a  
macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it  
has been programmed properly.  
• The codes programmed into a macro will be transmitted at an  
interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be  
able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss  
the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button,  
you can press the same MODE button again before pressing  
the next operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between  
the two operations.  
1. Point the remote controller at the TX-DS989  
and press the CD MODE button.  
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the  
devices operate properly.  
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be  
sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device  
until the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.

With the direct macro function, you can program a series of button  
operations as a macro into the DIRECT MACRO button so the  
macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the direct  
macro function, only one macro can be programmed. For example,  
to program the macro described on the previous page for the

Your system setting  
Remote controller  
It is recommended to write down the settings of the remote controller in case they are lost accidentally. In the blank spaces for each setting,  
place a checkmark for the settings you have made.  
Below are figures for you to write down how you have programmed the functions of other remote controllers to the RC-390M remote  
controller. Write down the mode above the figure and the functions for each key at the location of the key in the figure. If you have created  
more than three modes (by programming more than three different remote controllers, etc.), then you can copy this page as necessary.
