Precautions  
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use  
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-  
out the permission of the copyright holder.  
9. Installing this Unit  
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.  
• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all  
around this unit, especially if it’s installed in an  
audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the  
unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.  
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat  
sources, because its internal temperature may  
rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.  
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject  
to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the  
unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.  
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its  
side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause  
a malfunction.  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
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  
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the picture and sound quality may be affected. If  
this occurs, move this unit away from the TV,  
radio, or VCR.  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION CAREFULLY.  
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high-  
tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical  
pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty  
or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To  
maintain the best picture quality, we recommend  
regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or  
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use  
depending on the operating environment. Contact  
your Onkyo dealer for details.  
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 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
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.  
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] 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.  
11. Moisture Condensation  
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.  
Read the following carefully:  
Moisture may condense on the lens of the optical  
pickup, one of the most important parts inside this  
unit.  
5. Preventing Hearing Loss  
Caution  
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head-  
phones can cause hearing loss.  
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following  
situations:  
– The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm  
place.  
– A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air  
conditioner is hitting the unit.  
– In the summer, when this unit is moved from an  
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.  
– The unit is used in a humid place.  
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility  
of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so  
may damage your discs and certain parts inside  
this unit.  
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and  
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By  
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-  
densation will have evaporated.  
6. Batteries and Heat Exposure  
Warning  
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall  
not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or  
the like.  
7. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never  
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo  
dealer.  
8. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.  
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm  
after prolonged use. This is normal.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.  
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all  
discs and turn off the power.

About this Manual  
This manual explains how to use all of the DV-SP506’s  
functions. Although the DVD standard offers many spe-  
cial features, not all discs use them all, so depending on  
the disc being played, the DV-SP506 may not respond to  
certain functions. See your disc’s sleeve notes for sup-  
ported features.  
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is  
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,  
indicating that the feature is not supported by  
the current disc or by the DV-SP506.  
*4 Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform  
to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs,  
they may not play properly in the DV-SP506.

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
DV-SP506 is subjected to bright light, such as direct  
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this  
in mind when installing the DV-SP506.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the DV-SP506 is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler may not work reliably.  
Close the battery compartment.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-  
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-  
ently, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
DV-SP506 is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing the  
DV-SP506.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-  
cle between it and the DV-SP506’s remote control  
sensor.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing both 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 possible leakage  
and corrosion.  
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to  
prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Connecting the DV-SP506—Continued  
Before Making Any Connections  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
all audio and video connections.  
RCA AV Connection Color Coding  
RCA 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.  
Optical Digital Output  
The DV-SP506’s optical digital connector has a shutter-  
type cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted,  
and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the  
way.  
The supplied AV connecting cable is made up of an ana-  
log audio cable and a composite video cable.  
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical  
plug straight when inserting and removing.

Using HDMI to Connect an AV Receiver or HDTV  
What is HDMI?  
RIHD (CEC)  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new  
connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan-  
dard or high definition digital video and digital audio.  
Until now, several separate video and audio cables have  
been required to connect AV components together. With  
HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve  
the best picture and audio quality.  
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual  
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires  
an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DV-SP506 supports HDCP  
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an  
HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component  
must also support it. Note that this may not work with  
some DVI components.  
The DV-SP506 supports RIHD (Remote Interactive over  
HDMI), which is Onkyo’s implementation of CEC  
(Consumer Electronics Control), which allows inte-  
grated system control over HDMI and is part of the  
HDMI standard. In addition to OnkyoAV components, it  
allows interoperability with CEC-compatible AV com-  
ponents and TVs made by other manufacturers.  
To use RIHD, make sure that CEC is turned on on your  
other components (e.g., TV, AV receiver).  
Using HDMI  
Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the  
DV-SP506’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV  
receiver. Alternatively, you can connect the DV-SP506  
directly to the HDMI input on your TV.  
Notes:  
• The DV-SP506 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection), a protection system for  
digital video. HDMI components that you connect to  
the DV-SP506 must also support HDCP.  
• Even if you connect a component that does not support  
HDCP to the DV-SP506, there will be no picture or  
sound.  
• The DV-SP506 supports High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface Specification Information Version 1.2a.

Audio Formats  
The DV-SP506’s HDMI OUT supports the following  
The DV-SP506’s HDMI OUT supports the following  
video resolutions:  
audio formats:  
• 720 x 480i (interlaced), 60 Hz  
• Multichannel PCM (192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz,  
88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz)  
• Dolby Digital

• 720 x 576i (interlaced), 50 Hz (European, Australian,  
and Asian models only)  
• DTS  
• DSD  
• 720 x 576p (progressive), 50 Hz (European, Austra-  
lian, and Asian models only)  
If your HDMI TV or projector doesn’t support Dolby  
Digital or DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital  
Out setting to PCM (see page 51).  
• 1280 x 720p (progressive), 50/60 Hz  
• 1920 x 1080i (interlaced), 50/60 Hz  
• 1920 x 1080p (progressive), 50/60 Hz  
If your TV doesn’t support digital audio at higher sam-  
pling rates, set the Linear PCM Out setting to Down  
Sample On so that it’s down sampled to below 48 kHz  
(see page 52).  
If your HDTV or projector doesn’t support the selected  
resolution, you may get no picture.  
You can select a resolution suitable for use with your  
HDTV or projector on the DV-SP506 (see page 50).  
Choosing a Connection Method  
To enjoy movies and music, you need to make video and audio connections from the DV-SP506 to your AV receiver or  
TV. The DV-SP506 supports various video and audio connection formats and can be connected in various ways. Use  
the chart below to help you choose the most suitable connection method for your system.  
DV-SP506 settings can be changed by using the onscreen setup menus that appear on your TV’s screen. Even if you  
intend to only play music discs, we recommend that you connect the DV-SP506 to your TV so you can use these  
onscreen setup menus.  
When you’ve completed all of the connections, you may need to change a few settings on the DV-SP506 to suit your  
other components or personal preferences (see page 30).

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a  
SCART cable to connect the DV-SP506 to your TV. This  
type of connection carries both the sound and the picture,  
so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT  
L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

If your AV receiver has a 7.1-channel analog audio  
input, connect it as follows.  
Connect the DV-SP506’s SURR 1 jacks to your AV  
receiver’s surround input jacks, and connect the  
SURR 2 jacks to your AV receiver’s surround back  
input jacks. The SURR 1 and SURR 2 outputs output  
the same signals.  
When you make this

• With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience  
picture noise that is not normally visible with standard

playback via the multichannel analog audio output.  
RGB: This format offers the best picture quality.  
Notes:  
• If you select a format that is not supported by your TV,  
the setup menu may disappear from the screen. If this  
happens, switch off your equipment, connect the  
DV-SP506 to your TV with a composite video or  
S-Video cable, and then change this setting.  
• When RGB is selected, nothing is output by the com-  
ponent video output.  
6ch PCM: SACD audio is converted to 6-channel  
PCM with a sampling rate of 176.4 kHz. If the  
HDMI input on your AV receiver or TV does not  
support 6-channel PCM, there will be no sound. This  
option is also suitable for playback of 6-channel  
PCM on a DVD-Audio disc.

Center Delay and Surr. Delay  
With these settings, you can adjust the multichannel out-  
put signals relative to the listening position.  
For 5.1-channel surround playback, ideally your speak-  
ers should all be the same distance away from the listen-  
ing position, but this isn’t always practical. By setting a  
delay time for the center and surround speakers, you can  
adjust their virtual positions without having to physically  
move them, creating the ideal listening environment. The  
diagram below shows the ideal locations for the center  
and surround speakers.  
Speaker Configuration  
With these settings, you can specify which speakers are  
connected and their sizes. These settings only apply to

Off (default): The Dolby Pro Logic decoder is off.  
On: The Dolby Pro Logic decoder decodes Dolby  
Surround material and processes the following audio  
formats: 2-channel Dolby Digital on DVD-Video  
discs, 48 kHz (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) PCM audio on  
DVD-Video discs, and 2-channel audio on CDs.  
Notes:  
• The delay settings have no effect on 192 kHz/  
176.4 kHz DVD-Audio.  
• To use the delay settings with SACD playback, set the  
SACDAudio Setup setting to PCM, and set the Linear  
PCM Out setting to Down Sample On.  
Note:  
• If the Center Speaker or Surround Speaker is set to Off  
in the Speaker Configuration settings (page 52), the  
Dolby Pro Logic decoder will not work even if you  
select On.  
Test Tone  
If you can adjust the volume level of each channel of  
your amp’s multichannel input, with this function, you  
can output a test tone from each multichannel output  
jack in turn and adjust each level as necessary.  
1. Use the Up/Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a  
speaker, and then press the [ENTER] button.  
A test tone is output by each speaker as it’s selected.  
SACD Audio Setup  
With this setting you can choose whether DSD (Direct  
Stream Digital) or PCM is output when playing Super  
Audio CDs.  
When DSD is selected, the Speaker Configuration set-  
tings have no effect and the source is output as it is: 2-  
channel material is output as 2-channels, and multichan-  
nel material is output as multichannel.  
When PCM is selected, the source is output is in accor-  
dance with the Speaker Configuration settings and the  
output is down mixed.  
2. Refer to your AV receiver’s instruction manual  
for details on adjusting the volume level of each  
channel.  
Note:  
• The test tone is not output by the digital audio outputs.  
DSD (default): The source signal is output as it is.  
Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital  
only)  
PCM: The source signal is output in accordance with  
the Speaker Configuration settings.  
With the Dynamic Range Control function you can  
reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so  
that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at  
low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at  
night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.  
Downmix Setting  
With this setting you can configure the D.MIX/FRONT  
AUDIO OUT jacks and SCART AV CONNECTOR for  
use with a 2-channel stereo amp or an amp with a built-  
in Dolby Pro Logic decoder. It determines how multi-  
channel audio sources are down mixed.  
Off (default): The full dynamic range is preserved.  
On: The dynamic range of Dolby Digital material is  
compressed.  
In the Speaker Configuration, set the Subwoofer, Center  
Speaker, and Surround Speaker settings to Off.  
Notes:  
• The impact of the Dynamic Range Control function  
depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are  
playing and with some material there will be little or  
no effect.  
• When the DV-SP506 is set to Standby, this function is  
automatically set to Off.  
Stereo (default): Choose this option if you’re con-  
necting the D.MIX/FRONT AUDIO OUT jacks or  
SCART AV CONNECTOR to a stereo amp or TV.  
Multichannel audio is down mixed into stereo.  
Lt/Rt: Choose this option if you’re connecting the  
D.MIX/FRONT AUDIO OUT jacks or AV CON-  
NECTOR to an AV receiver, TV, or other component  
with a built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Multichan-  
nel audio is down mixed into an Lt/Rt mix, which is  
a 2-channel mix containing front left, front right,  
center, and surround channel information.  
• Depending on the Speaker Configuration settings, this  
setting may be fixed.

Glossary  
Analog audio  
Dynamic range  
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com-  
pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig-  
nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also  
“Digital audio.”  
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds  
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting  
lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very  
wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like  
effects.  
Aspect ratio  
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven-  
tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost  
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is  
almost twice as wide as it is high).  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type  
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.  
Digital audio  
HD  
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During  
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals  
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-  
digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.  
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an  
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam-  
pling frequency” and “Analog audio.”  
Abbreviation for high definition, as in HDTV (high-def-  
inition TV).  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)  
The video encryption technology developed by Intel for  
HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and  
requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the  
encrypted video.

DivX is a media technology created by DivX,  
Inc. DivX media files contain compressed  
video. DivX files can also include advanced media fea-  
tures like menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface) is a high-speed digital interface which has the  
capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-defini-  
tion video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound  
audio on a single digital connection. HDMI features  
include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up  
to 5 gigabytes per second and communication between  
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Dolby Digital  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,  
this high quality surround system is used in many of the  
finer movie theaters around the world.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file structure  
of CD-ROM discs.  
The onscreen display shows which channels are active,  
for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front  
channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround  
channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.  
JPEG  
A file format used for still images, such as photographs  
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file  
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this  
format.  
DRM  
DRM (digital rights management) technology is used to  
manage the use of copyright material and protect the  
rights of copyright holders and content producers.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding digital audio,  
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a  
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital.  
For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD,  
and DAT) andAV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit  
can convert Dolby Digital, and DTS to PCM. See also  
“Digital audio.”  
Progressive scan video  
All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in  
one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes  
to update the whole picture).

RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI)  
Onkyo’s implementation of CEC (Con-  
sumer Electronics Control), which allows integrated sys-  
tem control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI  
standard.  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
These associate discs and players with particular areas of  
the world. This unit will only play discs that have com-  
patible region codes. You can find the region code of  
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into  
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the  
sound quality, but the more digital information is gener-  
ated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)  
per second. See also “Digital audio.”  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to  
an audio compression technology developed by  
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 8.  
*1. RIHD is a trademark of Onkyo Corporation.
