FCC Information for User  
CAUTION:  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
The user changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to  
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-  
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all  
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft  
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards  
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-  
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-  
tering.  
4. Power  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION CAREFULLY.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.  
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel  
(e.g., AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug  
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-  
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-  
nician for help.  
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If  
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

Enjoying Home Theater  
Speaker Sets A and B  
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.  
Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 7.1-channel playback.  
*While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.  
Speaker set B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.  
*Only analog input sources are output by speaker set B.

Front left and right speakers  
These output the overall sound.Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor  
for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level,  
and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.  
Surround back left and right  
speakers  
These speakers further enhance the  
realism of surround sound and  
improve sound localization behind the  
listener. Position them behind the lis-  
tener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)  
above ear level.  
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the  
front left and right speakers,  
making sound movements  
distinct and providing a full  
sound image.For movies it’s  
used mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to your TV  
facing forward at about ear  
level, or at the same height  
as the front left and right  
speakers.  
*
While speaker set B is on, these  
speakers output no sound.  
Corner  
Subwoofer  
The subwoofer handles the  
bass sounds of the LFE (Low-  
Frequency Effects) channel. In  
general, a good bass sound  
can be obtained by installing  
the subwoofer in a front corner,  
or at one-third the way along  
the wall, as shown.  
1/3 wall  
length  
Surround left and right speakers  
These speakers are used for precise sound  
positioning and to add realistic ambience. Posi-  
tion them at the sides of the listener, or slightly  
behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear  
level. Ideally they should be equally spaced  
from the listener.

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,  
such as a book or magazine, because a button may be  
pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.  
Slide the cover shut.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-  
cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control  
sensor.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-  
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

ConnectingYour Speakers  
Speaker Configuration  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con-  
nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table shows which channels you should  
use based on the number of speakers that you have.  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
North American models:You can connect speakers  
with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. 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 amp protection circuit may be acti-  
vated.  
Number of speakers:  
Front left  
2
3
4
5
6
7
Other models:You can connect speakers with an  
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the imped-  
ance 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 “4 ohms” (see page 34). 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 amp protection circuit may be acti-  
vated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.  
*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to  
the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-  
woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid  
bass.  
Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which  
speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 35).  
To get the very best from your surround-sound system,  
you should also set the advanced speaker settings (see  
page 50.)  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive  
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-  
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way  
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound  
unnatural.  
• 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 Labels  
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are  
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)  
speaker terminals are all black.)  
• Don’t connect more than one  
cable to each speaker termi-  
nal. Doing so may damage the  
AV receiver.

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you  
should attach them to the positive (+) side of each  
speaker cable in accordance with the above table.All you  
need to do then is to match the color of each label to the  
corresponding speaker terminal.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer  
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB-  
WOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered sub-  
woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re  
using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER  
PRE OUT to it’s input.  
Note:  
Make sure the plugs are pushed in all the way.

Connecting Antennas  
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor  
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect  
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.  
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without  
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna  
to use the tuner.  
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna  
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use  
only.  
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting  
the tabs into the base, as shown.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll  
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust  
the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best  
possible reception.  
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from  
your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power  
cords.  
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll  
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust  
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best  
possible reception.  
Use thumbtacks or something similar to  
fix the FM antenna into position.

Insulated antenna cable  
AM loop antenna  
Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
OutdoorAM antennas work best when installed horizon-  
tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained  
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note  
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-  
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-  
ards.  
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-  
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as  
shown.

AV Connection Color Coding  
About AV Connections  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-  
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use  
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-  
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals  
supplied with your other AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
and double-checked all AV connections.

Which Connections Should I Use?  
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format  
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.  
Video Connection Formats  
Audio Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by  
using any one of the following video connection formats:  
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the  
latter offering the best picture quality.  
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be con-  
verted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to com-  
posite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks,  
not the VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks.  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that  
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.  
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog  
TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example,  
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital  
input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.  
Note: The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite  
video and S-Video input signals and output them from  
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 34).

Dolby Digital  
About the Listening Modes  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the  
Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV  
broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-  
sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the  
action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
The illustration shows which speakers are active in  
each listening mode with 7.1 channel speaker sys-  
tem.  
Dolby Digital EX  
DTS+Dolby EX  
Front left  
Center  
Front right  
These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby  
Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-chan-  
nel playback. They’re especially suited to  
Dolby Digital EX soundtracks that include  
a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional  
channel adds an extra dimension and provides an envel-  
oping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating  
and fly-by sound effects. Use them with DVDs that bear  
the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.  
Subwoofer  
Surround left

Pure Audio (not North American models)  
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned  
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in  
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is  
turned off, no video signals are output in this mode.)  
Dolby Digital+PLIIx Music  
DTS+PLIIx Music  
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music  
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital  
and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-  
back. Use them with Dolby Digital or  
DTS 5.1 music sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV  
broadcasts).  
Direct  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-  
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are  
output as they are.  
Stereo  
Dolby Digital+PLIIx Movie  
DTS+PLIIx Movie  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie  
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital  
and DTS sources for 7.1-channel play-  
back. Use them with Dolby Digital and  
DTS 5.1 movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broad-  
casts).  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
DTS  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports  
up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com-  
pression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it  
with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24  
sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a  
96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing  
superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS  
96/24 logo.  
DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete  
soundtracks, which use a discrete surround  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The  
seven totally separate audio channels provide better spa-  
tial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect  
for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it  
with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those  
with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.  
PLIIx Music  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those that  
bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
DTS-ES Matrix  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix  
soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded  
back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with  
a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.  
Mono Movie  
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono  
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,  
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other  
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.  
DTS Neo:6  
Orchestra  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 6.1-chan-  
nel playback. It uses six full-bandwidth channels of  
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing  
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience  
that fully envelops the listener.  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of  
a large hall.  
Neo:6 Cinema  
Unplugged  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD,  
VHS).  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Neo:6 Music  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-  
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
Dolby Digital + Neo:6  
DTS+Neo:6  
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-chan-  
nel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS  
logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.  
TV Logic  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-  
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
Neural Surround  
All Ch Stereo  
(North American models only)  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in  
surround technology developed for music and is adopted  
by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of sur-  
round recordings and live events in surround sound.  
Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-  
domain processing, which allows delivery of a more  
detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation  
and localization of audio elements. System playback is  
scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround playback.  
Full Mono  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting  
Center Image  
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.  
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel  
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With  
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left  
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create  
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default  
value is 2). This setting has no effect if no center speaker  
is connected.  
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the  
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when  
the listening position is considerably off center. When  
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-  
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.  
Input Channel Settings  
Multiplex  
This setting determines which channel is output from a  
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels  
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV  
broadcasts, and so on.  
Main: The main channel is output (default).  
Sub: The sub channel is output.  
M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.  
Mono (2ch)  
This setting determines which channel is output when  
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.  
L+R: Both the left and right channels are output  
(default).  
Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting  
Dolby EX  
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals  
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround  
back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital  
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode  
is used (default).  
L: Only the left channel is output.  
R: Only the right channel is output.  
PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings  
These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.  
Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro  
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby  
Digital EX.  
Panorama  
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front  
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode.  
Multichannel Subwoofer Setting  
On: Panorama function on.  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
SW Sens  
On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel  
subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can  
change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD  
player. Note that this setting only affects signals con-  
nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan-  
nel DVD input.  
You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.  
If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the  
+10 dB or +15 dB setting.  
Dimension  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward  
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.  
It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. Higher settings move the  
sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much  
surround sound, move the sound field forward to  
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image  
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround  
sound, move it backward.  
Center Width  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound  
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II  
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally,  
the center channel sound is output by 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

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.  
Recording Audio and Video from  
Separate Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-  
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio  
source is switched when an audio-only input source,  
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video  
source remains the same.  
Recording the Input Source  
You can only record to a component that’s connected to  
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.  
See pages 20–31 for information on connecting yourAV

Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,  
and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-  
nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord  
and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver

may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-  
function.  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your  
player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver  
does not switch formats immediately, you may not  
hear any sound, in which case you should stop your  
player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.  
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback  
DTS material properly even though your player is con-  
nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is  
usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed  
(e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency  
response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog-  
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you  
may hear noise.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker  
set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.  
• When you play source material that contains no infor-  
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces  
no sound.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 35).  
Speaker set B produces no sound  
• Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected  
to an analog input. Make sure that the analog audio  
cables are connected properly.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some games consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 20).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected.  
• The AV receiver does not convert component video  
input signals to other formats, so if a video source  
component is connected to a component video input,  
your TV must be connected to the component video  
output (page 21).  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.  
• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North  
American model) is selected, the video circuits are  
turned off and the AV receiver outputs no video sig-  
nals.  
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback  
• While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to  
5.1-channel playback.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• When the volume level of each speaker has been  
adjusted (pages 42, 51), the maximum possible vol-  
ume may be reduced.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The following settings can be made for the  
S-Video and composite video inputs  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal  
processing and control functions. In very rare situa-  
tions, 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.  
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set-  
tings.  
1. While holding down the input selector button for the  
input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]  
button.  
2. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to change  
the setting.  
3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.  
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.  
Video Attenuation  
This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1,  
VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3 input.  
If you have a games console connected to an S-Video  
or composite video input, and the picture isn’t very  
clear, you can attenuate the gain.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-  
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.  
Memory Backup  
Video ATT:0: (default).  
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup  
system in order to retain radio presets and other set-  
tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-  
ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver  
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the  
backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV  
receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,  
although this depends on the environment and will be  
shorter in humid climates.
