1. Recording Copyright  
For U.S. models  
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is  
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.  
Note to CATV system installer:  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s at-  
tention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for  
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground  
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close  
to the point of cable entry as practical.  
2. AC Fuse  
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power  
does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.  
3. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the  
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a  
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and  
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean  
cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemi-  
cal solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove  
the panel lettering.

Before using this unit  
Notes:  
Setting the voltage selector  
(Worldwide models only)  
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.  
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller  
will not be used for a long time.  
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector so that you  
can set your TX-SR700/700E/600/600E to conform with local  
power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the  
power supply in your area before plugging in the unit.  
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion.  
If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, remove the old  
batteries and replace them both with two new AA batteries.  
Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-230 V or 120 V. If  
the preset voltage is not correct for your area, insert a screwdriver  
into the groove in the switch and slide the switch all the way to the  
top (120 V) or bottom (220-230 V), whichever is appropriate.  
Using the remote controller  
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The  
STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from  
the remote controller.

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO)  
Connecting your audio components  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable  
to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure that  
you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right  
channel to the R jack.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components  
to the TX-SR700/700E. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
AUDIO IN/OUT  
Note:  
The TX-SR700/700E is designed for use with moving magnet  
cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to  
the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the  
ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground  
wire is not necessary and should not be connected.  
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven audio  
inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs  
and outputs require RCA-type connectors.  
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
On the rear panel of the TX-SR700/700E, there are one coaxial  
digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital output,  
and one optical digital output. To the digital inputs, connect CD  
players, LD players, DVD players, or other digital source  
component. To the digital outputs, connect MD recorders, CD  
recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.  
3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or  
CD recorder (TAPE)  
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the  
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E and  
connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio  
jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure that you properly connect  
the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the TX-SR700/700E depending on the type of connector on the  
device.  
• Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT  
or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is  
not digital only, but analog as well.  
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical  
fiber cable.  
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR700/700E, nothing is  
allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).  
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact  
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure  
that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right  
channel to the R jack.  
changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).  
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT  
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack of the TX-SR700/700E for digital  
recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR700/700E.  
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either the  
DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR700/700E depending on the type of  
connector on the compact disc player.  
Note:  
The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR700/  
700E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR700/700E, the CD input  
source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack (OPT 1).  
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be  
changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).

: Signal flow  
The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
Connecting your video components  
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the  
VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in  
from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and  
VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S  
video connections.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your video components  
to the TX-SR700/700E. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
Notes:  
For DVD players or other devices that have component video  
connectors, the TX-SR700/700E has two banks of component video  
input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The  
TX-SR700/700E also has one bank of component video output  
connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder  
of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the  
pure component video signal directly, the 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.  
• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is  
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,  
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal  
from the source component is input through the component  
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input  
from the component video connectors can only be output from  
the component video connectors.  
• For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
jacks, see page 16.  
• The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is  
only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When  
connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT  
jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
VIDEO IN/OUT  
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are  
four video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both

(TX-SR700/700E only)  
The TX-SR700/700E allows you to listen to two separate input  
sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place  
When using the ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals  
speakers in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy  
two different kinds of music at the same time. The room where the  
TX-SR700/700E is actually located is referred to as the main room  
while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In  
addition, the IR IN terminal of the TX-SR700/700E allows you to  
control the TX-SR700/700E 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.  
If you are using a 5.1-channel speaker system in the main room, you  
can connect the amplifier for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the open  
ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals and connect the remote zone speakers.

Connecting your audio components  
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components  
to the TX-SR600/600E. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the  
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E and  
connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio  
jacks of the TX-SR600/600E. Make sure that you properly connect  
the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the  
device.  
AUDIO IN/OUT  
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are six audio  
inputs and two audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs and  
outputs require RCA-type connectors.  
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
On the rear panel of the TX-SR600/600E, there are one coaxial  
digital input, two optical digital inputs, and one optical digital  
output. To the digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD  
players, or other digital source component. To the digital output,  
connect an MD recorder, CD recorder, DAT deck, or other similar  
component.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, nothing is  
allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).  
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate  
changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).  
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E for digital recording of the  
signal from the digital input of the TX-SR600/600E.  
• Since an analog connection must be made when using REC  
OUT, make sure that the connection to the input source is not  
digital only, but analog as well.  
Note:  
The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR600/  
600E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.  
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical  
fiber cable.  
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact  
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E. Make sure  
that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right  
channel to the R jack.  
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either the  
DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of  
connector on the compact disc player.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the CD input  
source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack (OPT 1).  
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be  
changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).

The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
Connecting your video components  
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to the VIDEO  
OUT jack. The signal that comes in from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent  
to the S VIDEO OUT jack. It is not necessary to make both video and  
S video connections.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your video components  
to the TX-SR600/600E. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
Notes:  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is  
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,  
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal  
from the source component is input through the component  
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input  
from the component video connectors can only be output from  
the component video connectors.  
For DVD players or other devices that have component video  
connectors, the TX-SR600/600E has two banks of component video  
input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The  
TX-SR600/600E also has one bank of component video output  
connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder  
of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the  
pure component video signal directly, the 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.  
• For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
jacks, see page 24.  
• The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is  
only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When  
connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT  
jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
VIDEO IN/OUT  
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are  
four video inputs and one video output and each one includes both  
composite video and S video configurations.  
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video  
components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other  
recording components to the video outputs to make video  
recordings.  
• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure  
you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g.,  
both to VIDEO 3).  
• The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

3. Connecting a DVD player (DVD)  
Using an RCA video cable, connect the video output jack (composite)  
of the DVD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack of the TX-SR600/  
600E. Or if the DVD player has an S video output jack, connect it to  
the DVD S VIDEO IN jack with an S video cable. Or if the device has  
component video outputs, connect them to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO INPUT 1 or 2 jacks on the TX-SR600/600E.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the DVD input  
source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks.  
If you connect the DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO  
INPUT 2 jacks, this must be changed at “Input Setup” →  
“Component Video” (see page 54).  
Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the audio output  
jacks of the DVD player to the DVD FRONT L/R jacks of the TX-  
SR600/600E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel  
to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.  
If the device has a 5.1-channel output, connect the DVD FRONT L/  
R, SURR L/R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER (5.1-channel input)  
jacks of the TX-SR600/600E to the 5.1-channel output jacks of the  
DVD player. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels  
to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the  
DVD player.  
With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the DVD input  
source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack (COAX).  
If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be  
changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).  
Note:  
If the DVD player has both 5.1-channel audio outputs and 2-channel  
audio outputs, and you want to connect the DVD player only using  
the FRONT L/R jacks on the TX-SR600/600E, use the 2-channel  
audio output jacks on the DVD player.

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now  
necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-SR700/  
700E/600/600E.  
1. Strip away approx. 3/8 inch (10 mm)  
of the wire insulation.  
Caution:  
2. Twist the wire ends tightly together.  
3. Press the lever to open the terminal.  
• Be sure to connect the positive (+) and negative (–) cables for the  
speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals  
will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.  
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E.  
• When you listen to surround audio or select Multichannel, be  
sure to turn on SPEAKERS A.  
4. Insert the exposed wire end.  
• Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16  
Ω to the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E. Connecting speakers  
with an impedance lower than 6 Ω may damage the  
amplifier.  
• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural  
(mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both  
the right and left-channel terminals.  
5. Release the lever to close the  
terminal. Leave some of the exposed  
wire showing outside the terminal.

power is turned off with the POWER switch. The backup system  
is charged when the POWER switch is turned on.  
(All models other than USA and Canadian models)  
Press the POWER switch to set the TX-SR700/700E/  
600/600E to standby state.  
The STANDBY indicator will light up.  
The length of time that the memory will be preserved will vary  
depending on the ambient climate. 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 may be shorter  
when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.  
2. Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn on the TX-  
SR700/700E/600/600E.

Connecting antennas  
To use the tuner of the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E, it is necessary to  
prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.  
Connecting the included antennas  
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for  
better reception must be done while listening to a station  
broadcast.  
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:  
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the  
antenna and adjust its orientation until the clearest signal is received.  
Fix it with push pins or similar items 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.  
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an  
outside antenna is recommended.  
Connecting the AM loop antenna:  
Assembling 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-SR700/700E/600/600E, televisions,  
speaker cables, and power cords.  
If the reception is not very clear with the attached AM indoor  
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.  
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.  
• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details on  
how to connect the loop antenna.

Connecting antennas  
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna  
Directional linkage  
Make sure to follow the general rules given below:  
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.

One of the features of the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E that is most  
Listening to a stereo radio station (FM mode)  
frequently used is its ability to play FM and AM broadcast radio  
stations. The TX-SR700/700E/600/600E 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

an FM station in stereo, then “FM STEREO”  
appears. 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 on the  
front panel. The AUTO indication disappears  
and the radio station is output in the monaural  
mode. To return to stereo, press the FM MODE  
button again. “AUTO” appears. Some inter-  
station noise may be heard, but the sound will  
not cut in and out as it would if stereo was  
selected.  
Tuning into a radio station  
1. Press the TUNER input source button.  
Each time you press the TUNER button, the  
input source changes between AM and FM.  
2. Using the TUNING and buttons on

Listening to RDS broadcasts  
(European models only)  
Listening to RDS broadcasts  
PTY program types in Europe  
RDS reception is available only on the European model and only in  
areas where RDS broadcasts are available.  
The text given below in parenthesis is what is actually displayed on  
the TX-SR700E/600E.  
What is RDS?  
None (NONE):  
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM broadcasting.  
RDS was developed within the European Broadcasting Union  
(EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM  
broadcasting stations now transmit the RDS signals, which provide  
the additional information required. RDS provides you with various  
services so that you can choose a station that broadcasts your  
favorite categories of music, news, or other information.  
No program type.  
News reports (NEWS):  
Reports on current events and happenings.  
Current affairs (AFFAIRS):  
Topical reporting of current affairs, often with a wider range of  
topics than news reports.  
There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts. Though they  
can be tuned into by using the TUNING buttons as normal stations,  
RDS broadcasts allow you to scan for stations of the type and  
classification for which you are looking. This makes it much easier  
for you to find the station you want (see “Performing a PTY scan”  
and “Performing a TP scan” on page 43). The three main  
classifications are explained below.  
Information (INFO):  
General information such as weather forecasts, consumer affairs,  
medical help, etc.  
Sport (SPORT):  
Live sports action, sports news, and interviews.  
RT: Radio Text  
Education (EDUCATE):  
When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is selected, the  
Formal educational programs.  
text information received from the station is displayed.  
Drama (DRAMA):  
PTY: Program Type  
Radio plays and serials.  
When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is selected, the  
station type (classification) is displayed.  
Culture (CULTURE):  
Cultural programs (including religious affairs).  
TP: Traffic Program  
When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is selected,  
traffic information will be broadcasted periodically.  
Science and technology (SCIENCE):  
Programs about the natural sciences and technology.  
Varied (VARIED):  
Speech-based programs not covered by the above categories (e.g.,  
quizzes, panel games, and comedy).  
Notes:  
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the display of the TX-  
SR700E/600E may not be exactly the same as the ones broadcast  
by the radio station. Also, unusual characters may appear on the  
display if the TX-SR700E/600E receives characters that cannot  
be displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.  
Pop music (POP M):  
Popular commercial music, usually from past or present sales charts  
(e.g., Top 40).  
• When an RDS station broadcasting PS information is selected,  
the name of the station is displayed instead of the frequency.  
Rock music (ROCK M):  
Popular music with an alternative appeal, often not appearing on  
sales charts.  
Middle of the road music (M.O.R.M):  
Easy listening music (as opposed to Pop, Rock, or Classical).  
Light classics (LIGHT M):  
Classical music for general rather than specialist appreciation.  
Serious classics (CLASSICS):  
Performances of major orchestral works, symphonies, chamber  
music, etc. (including the Grand Opera).  
Other music (OTHER M):  
Music styles not covered by the above categories (e.g., Jazz, Rhythm  
& Blues, Folk, Country, and Reggae).  
• Alarm (ALARM):  
When an RDS station is making an emergency broadcast,  
ALARM will flash on the display.

Listening Modes  
The TX-SR700/700E/600/600E’s surround sound enables you to  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.  
Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left,  
center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix  
processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic  
II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio  
(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then  
played back in its original 5.1-channel form.  
Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie mode designed for playing  
movies and a Music mode designed for listening to music. In the  
Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide  
monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide  
complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is  
movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode  
uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that  
cannot be provided with normal stereo output.  
The configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround  
sound. Refer to “Connecting speakers” on page 30.  
Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config,  
Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set  
(see pages 36 to 39) . Once the parameters have been set, it is not  
necessary to set them again. See page 51 for information regarding  
how to select the listening mode.  
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)  
The Dolby D mode is used to play Dolby Digital sources.  
Dolby Digital is 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  
mark and therefore recorded for  
This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the

broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.  
can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.  
* 5.1-channel Digital Format  
The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions  
including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1-channel digital  
surround format enables the individual recording and playing of  
five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front,  
center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low  
Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a  
realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls.  
DTS Neo:6  
This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or  
analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six  
channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation between  
the different channels.  
This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing  
movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.  
The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround  
sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel  
sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs  
with stereo sound.  
Dolby Digital EX  
When using surround back speakers, the Dolby Digital source is  
played back using the Matrix 6.1-channel decoder.  
DTS  
The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural  
sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This  
mode can be used with music CDs and other stereo sources.  
The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources.  
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a  
maximum 5.1-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES  
Discrete sources) that allows for an extremely high-quality sound.  
This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output  
and comes from DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the  
mark.  
Direct  
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.  
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1  
With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has  
all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete  
digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-  
fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated  
sound space is achieved.  
Pure Audio (TX-SR700/700E only)  
Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns  
off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video  
circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-  
fidelity music playback true to the original source.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1  
Note that if you connect a device to the COMPONENT VIDEO  
INPUT jacks of the TX-SR700/700E, the relay switch activates and  
signals are output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
Therefore, the display on the monitor connected to the  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks will not disappear.  
This format has the surround back channel matrix encoded and  
inserted into the left and right surround channels so that at playback  
the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are decoded  
using a high-precision matrix decoder.  
Stereo  
This mode has all the input sound output from the left and right front  
speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

Listening Modes  
Orchestra  
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.  
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

e. IntelliVolume  
This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for  
different components or input sources connected to the TX-SR700/  
700E/600/600E is different even though the main volume setting is  
the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to  
change the volume setting each time you change the input source.  
This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for  
each input source separately so that when you do switch from one  
input source to another, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E adjusts the  
volume accordingly and the volume stays the same. If the volume is  
Notes on DTS:  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting  
is selected on the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E, 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  
select “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPT or  
COAX) to connect the DTS source.  
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” 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.  
quieter than that of other sources, increase it with the  
cursor  
button, and if it is louder than that of other sources, decrease it with  
the cursor button.  
• 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 Intelli Volume can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels.  
• The DTS indicator on the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E lights  
while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the  
DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E  
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.  
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from  
certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the  
player to the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E digitally. This is  
because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output  
level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-  
SR700/700E/600/600E cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.  
Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source  
while processing the signal.  
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE  
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.  
• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with  
“PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select  
“All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.

Audio Adjust  
Center Image  
Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)  
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and  
analog sources.  
In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from the center  
speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder will divide  
the center signal equally to both the front left and right speakers to  
create a “phantom” center sound image.  
In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the  
center are subtracted from the left and right channels.  
In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of steering  
and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting it with a  
center channel, while preserving the original perspective of the  
stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted  
from the left and right channels.  
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust  
from where the center sound image is heard. Using this, you can  
have the soundfield be heard from the center speaker only, from the  
front left and right speakers only (as a phantom center sound image),  
or from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various  
level combinations. For home use, applying some width to the center  
signal will improve the level balance for the center and main  
speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “weight”  
of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for stereo playback  
will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. The  
recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This  
allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from  
the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to  
“0.”  
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It  
varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.  
When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted  
from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center  
channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level  
(–6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel  
output is not affected by Center Image.  
This control should be set based on room layout and personal  
preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass  
through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more  
center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if listeners  
are located well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker anchors  
the image.  
Center Width is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
Front Effect (TX-SR700/700E only)  
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 “Low” so that no  
reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from  
the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played  
as it is without any further reverberation.  
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS Neo:6  
Music.  
Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)  
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the  
surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall  
imaging.  
Front Effect is only enabled when the listening mode is Orchestra,  
Unplugged, Studio Mix, or TV Logic.  
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Surround Effect (TX-SR700/700E only)  
Panorama is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
You can choose from “Low,” “Middle,” or “High.”  
This adjusts the reflected and residual noises from the surround left  
and right speakers and surround back speaker.  
Surround Effect is only enabled when the listening mode is  
Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio Mix, or TV Logic.  
Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)  
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield forward or  
backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the  
setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward setting to  
“4” or higher to move the sound space backward.  
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong  
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate  
sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt  
like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to  
get more surroundness.  
Dimension is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro

Entering a pre-programming code  
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering  
Learning a pre-programming code  
the pre-programmed code for a remote controller of another  
manufacturer. Another is the normal learning function that enables  
the remote controller to learn the codes directly from other remote  
controllers (see page 70). And the last is a macro learning function  
that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote  
controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by  
pressing one button (see page 73).  
By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the RC-482M/  
480M remote controller operate a component made by another  
manufacturer. The buttons that are used for operation are given on  
the next page.  
1. Find the 3-digit number listed for the manufacturer  
name of the component that you want to operate in the  
table on the next page.  
2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e.  
DVD, satellite tuner, or television).

4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.  
The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes twice. If the SEND/  
LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a  
mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was  
performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.  
5. Press the button that you programmed and check if  
the system operates correctly.  
• If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3  
and repeat the steps above.  
• If it still does not operate properly, program the command  
directly from the other remote controller normally (see page

factory preset. However, if the code has been changed to 601 or 613,  
then you will need to change it back to 600.

After programming which MODE button to use, you will then  
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller  
over to the RC-482M/480M remote controller one at a time. Each  
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-  
482M/480M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this  
step except for the six MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, TV,  
and VCR), the two MACRO buttons (MACRO 1 and 2), and the  
LIGHT button (RC-482M only).  
2 to 6 inches  
(5 to 15 cm )  
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old  
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands  
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to  
memorize them once again.  
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller  
for the other device facing each other at a distance of 2  
to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.  
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE  
button on the remote controller, press the ENTER  
button and then release both buttons.  
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is  
pressed and turns off when the ENTER button is pressed. When  
the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/LEARN  
indicator lights again.

3. Press and release the button on the remote controller  
to which you want to transfer the next command.  
You may select any button excluding the eleven ones indicated  
in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/  
LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the  
indicator lights again.

controller  
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.  
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light  
again.  
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.  
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.  
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure  
the learning function was performed properly.  
Notes:  
• 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 72).  
• The remote controller has 318 memory slots (6 modes × 53  
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.  
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and  
turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming  
mode because either you have made a mistake during  
programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has  
been pressed. Resume from Step 2.  
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote  
controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times  
quickly, 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 the previous 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 systems that are 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 72 for how to erase the memorized commands from all  
buttons.

Using the macro function  
Programming the macro  
What is the 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.  
The series of operations are then called a macro. For example, to  
play a compact disc player connected to the TX-SR700/700E/600/  
600E normally, you must perform the following steps:  
With the macro function, you can program a series of button  
operations as a macro into the MACRO button so the macro can be  
executed with just one touch. Note that for the macro function, only  
one macro can be programmed. For example, to program the macro  
described above on this page for the MACRO button, perform the  
steps given below.  
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.  
2. Press the ON button.  
1. Press and hold down any one of the six MODE  
buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, and then  
release both buttons.  
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.  
4. Press the CD MODE button.  
5. Press the playback ( ) button.  
When you press the MODE button, it lights green (RC-482M) or  
red (RC-480M) and the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When  
you press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, the indicator turns off.  
When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly and  
then lights again.  
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five  
operations by only pressing one button.  
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in  
order (in this case, press RCVR MODE → ON → CD  
(INPUT SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback (  
)
button).  
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns  
off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

Notes:  
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the macro  
function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be  
ignored, and programming is stopped.  
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and  
turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming  
mode because either you have made a mistake during  
programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has  
been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

Executing the macro  
Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that you have  
programmed into the remote controller. After programming the  
macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has  
been programmed properly.  
Point the remote controller at the TX-SR700/700E/600/  
600E and press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button.  
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.  
Tips:  
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in  
the 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.  
• The codes programmed into the 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.

Troubleshooting guide  
If one of the messages shown below appears  
“Not available with headphones use”  
Operation not allowed because headphones are plugged into the TX-  
SR700/700E/600/600E.  
“Not available with Multichannel use”  
Operation not allowed while the multi-channel output is being used.  
“Not available in this Sp Config”  
Will not work with the current speaker configuration settings.  
“Not available in Zone 2 mode” (TX-SR700/700E only)  
Setting not allowed because the Zone 2 mode is turned on.  
“Only available with Dolby D”  
No setting other than Dolby Digital can be set.  
“Not available in this Listening mode”  
Will not work with the current listening mode.  
“Not available with this signal”  
The listening mode cannot be selected with the current input source.  
“Not available with Muting”  
Operation not allowed because the muting is activated.  
“Zone 2 is not On” (TX-SR700/700E only)  
Will not work because the Zone 2 has not been turned on.  
Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the CD player,  
DVD player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that compose  
your entertainment system.  
The TX-SR700/700E/600/600E contains an internal microcomputer  
that performs high-level operations. However, on extremely rare  
occasions, noise or interference from an external source or static  
electricity may cause faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the  
power cord from the wall outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then  
plug it back in. This should correct the situation.  
* To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory  
default settings, hold down the VIDEO 1 button with the TX-  
SR700/700E/600/600E turned on and then press the  
STANDBY/ON button. “CLEAR” appears in the front display  
and the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E enters the standby state.
