Speaker Precautions

Package Contents

Make sure you have the following items:

AV Receiver HT-R580

Placement

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is there-

fore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do

not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in

humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier,

bathroom, or kitchen.

HT-R580 (➔ 7)

Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6) (➔ 5)

Indoor FM antenna (➔ 19)

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If

liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be

damaged.

AM loop antenna (➔ 19)

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the prod-

uct name indicates the color. Specifications and operations are

the same regardless of color.

• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces

that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or

unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-

age, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical

position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted

position.

Speaker Package HTP-580

Front speakers (SKF-580 L/R) (➔ 9)

Center speaker (SKC-580) (➔ 9)

Surround speakers (SKR-580 L/R) (➔ 9)

Surround back speakers (SKB-580 L/R) (➔ 9)

Subwoofer (SKW-580) (➔ 9)

• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or Blu-ray

Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may

occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turn-

table, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, otherwise

lower the unit’s output level.

Speaker Package Accessories

Using Close to a TV or Computer

Speaker cables for front speakers 11 ft. (3.5 m)

(White and Red) (➔ 13)

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive

devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or

picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed

nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-580 and SKC-580 feature

internal magnetic shielding. In such situations, try moving

the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discolora-

tion should occur, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to

30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally

activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the

magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration

effects. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a

magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV

or monitor.

Speaker cable for center speaker 10 ft. (3.0 m)

4 floor pads for the subwoofer (➔ 14)

Dock for iPod UP-A1

Do not place SKR-580 and SKB-580 close to TV or a

computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-

ing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is

within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in

the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier

before connecting or disconnecting cables).

7. Microphone feedback.

About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your

own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.

With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

a Front speakers (SKF-580)

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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward

so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

b Center speaker (SKC-580)

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis-

tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-

log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the

same height as the front speakers.

c Surround speakers (SKR-580)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic

ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,

about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be

equidistant from the listener.

d Surround back speakers (SKB-580)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix,

DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and

improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the

listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.

e Front high speakers (Optional)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, etc.

They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least

3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (and as high as possible).

Although it is acceptable to left and right place at an angle slightly wider

than the front speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above

the front speakers.

Corner

position

f Subwoofer (SKW-580)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency

Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your

subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room,

and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained

by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of

the wall, as shown.

1/3 of wall

position

Tip

• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while

playing a movie or some music with good bass,

experiment by placing your subwoofer at various

positions within the room, and choose the one that

provides the most satisfying results.

Connecting the AV Receiver

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.

Connecting Your Speakers

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have con-

tact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven

speakers and a powered subwoofer.

Front high speakers

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the

same time.

When you connect the front high left and right speakers, pre-

pare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right

speakers.

If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two sur-

round speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not con-

nect them to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L/R

or FRONT HIGH OR ZONE 2 L/R terminals.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you

need to set the speaker settings. You can do this manually

(➔ 35).

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker ter-

minal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between

6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower imped-

ance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a

long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit

may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)

terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)

terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the

sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of

insulation from the ends of the

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

speaker cables, and twist the bare

wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied

speaker cables are already stripped.)

Using Banana Plugs (North American models)

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Push-type speaker terminals

Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of

the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

(Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)

Caution

Wall Mounting

• A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends

on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow

walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are

no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.

• Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less

and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hol-

low walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any

power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the key-

hole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against

the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers

to the rear of each speaker.

To mount the front, surround and surround back speakers

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.

Connecting a Recording Component

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely

separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your

video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact

that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected,

the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder

connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded

by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

AUDIO

VIDEO

Camcorder

VCR,

DVD recorder

Cassette, CDR,

Note

• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is

not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to

the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied with your TV and VCR for details.

• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be

recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is

connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must

be connected to a composite video output.

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be

recorded.

• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only

analog inputs can be recorded.

• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog

recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two

speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth sub-

woofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two

additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth

channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel

sources.

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.

Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound.

Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the

set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound

from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro

Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re

using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-

put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a

center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-

uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-

tom center). This setting controls the front left, right,

and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the

center channel sound.

Audyssey Settings

The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables

the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front

high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and

“High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that

order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the lis-

tener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal

preference.

`Off:

No Audyssey EQ™ equalizing will apply.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (➔ 8).

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, you can enjoy great

sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking

into account human perception and room acoustics. It

does so by selecting the correct frequency response and

surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the

content sounds the way it was created at any volume

level — not just at reference level.

Note

• If the “Front High” setting is set to “None” (➔ 35), or “Front

High/Zone2” setting is set to “Zone2” (➔ 39), this setting is

fixed at “Mid” and does not appear.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking

into account human perception and room acoustics.

Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and

surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-

selected volume setting. The result is bass response,

tonal balance, and surround impression that remain con-

stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines

information from incoming source levels with actual

output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-

ering a loudness correction solution.

`0 dB:

It should be used when listening to movies.

`5 dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

`10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a

wider dynamic range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

`15 dB:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every

listener at any volume level.

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro-

gram material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer-

ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the-

ater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that

–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise

produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening

position. A home theater system automatically cali-

brated by Audyssey EQ™ will play at reference level

when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB posi-

tion. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers

heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is referenced to the standard

film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref-

erence response and surround envelopment when the

volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-

ence level is not always used in music or other non-film

content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

provides three offsets from the film level reference

(5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the

mix level of the content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large

variations in volume level between television programs,

commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of

movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume

setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of

program material is being perceived by listeners in real

time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. When-

ever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary

rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired

playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic

range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into

Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is

adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response,

tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity

remain the same whether watching movies, flipping

between television channels, or changing from stereo to

surround sound content.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a

solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your-

self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

■ The STANDBY indicator flashes red

The protection circuit has been activated. Remove

the power cord from the wall outlet immediately.

Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and

leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-

nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power

cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV

receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, dis-

connect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers

and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when

you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the

power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

—

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the

AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it

on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/

STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and

the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

Audio

■ There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet

Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your

radio presets and custom settings.

Make sure that the digital input source is selected

properly.

Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed 15

in all the way.

Remote indicator

Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- 16-18

nents are connected properly.

Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is 12

correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with

the metal part of each speaker terminal.

RECEIVER

AUDIO

Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 22

Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. 12

Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for

home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,

allowing precise adjustment.

—

While a pair of headphones is connected to the

PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers.

To reset the remote controller to its factory defaults,

while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down

AUDIO until the remote indicator lights (about 3 sec-

onds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER

again.

If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to

an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output set-

tings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.

—

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that

is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is con-

nected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPO-

NENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display

when changing settings.

If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must

connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.

Make sure that none of the connecting cables are

bent, twisted, or damaged.

Not all listening modes use all speakers.

Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individ- 36

ual speaker levels.

Power

■ Can’t turn on the AV receiver

Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not

still connected.

—

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged

into the wall outlet.

—

The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it 43

to Auto.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five

seconds or more, then plug it in again.

■ Only the front speakers produce sound

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce

sound.

—

Check the Speaker Configuration.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

■ Only the center speaker produces sound

■ Noise can be heard

If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro

Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game lis-

tening mode with a mono source, such as an AM

radio station or mono TV program, the sound is con-

centrated in the center speaker.

—

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

—

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

■ The surround speakers produce no sound

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or

Mono listening mode is selected, the surround

speakers produce no sound.

—

■ About DTS signals

Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

—

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 for-

ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you

switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the

AV receiver does not switch formats immediately,

you may not hear any sound, in which case you

should stop your player for about three seconds, and

then resume playback.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The center speaker produces no sound

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your

player is connected to a digital input on the AV

receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver

doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such

cases, you may hear noise.

—

■ The front high or surround back speakers

produce no sound

Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 29

may be produced by the front high or surround back

speakers. Select another listening mode.

Not much sound may be produced by the front high

or surround back speakers with some sources.

—

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

a malfunction.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the 44

main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front

high or surround back speakers produce no sound.

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

■ The subwoofer produces no sound

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

Video

■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format

■ There’s no picture

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 15

in all the way.

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

Make sure that each video component is properly

connected.

16, 17,

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 29–32

cannot be selected.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital

interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc players/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video

components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With

HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM,

multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) , so TVs and displays with

a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,

resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components can

display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution

Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD

Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc player/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s

designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this

open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance

PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by

using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for

audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or

there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for

details.

Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo

components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over

HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-

tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

■ About p-compatible components

with Sharp TV)

For p-compatible players/recorders

Models other than those mentioned above may have some

interoperability if compatible with CEC which is part of the

HDMI Standard, but operation cannot be guaranteed.

The following link operation is possible by connecting the

AV receiver to an p-compatible player/recorder.

• When the playback is started on the player/recorder,

input of the AV receiver will switch to the HDMI input

of the player/recorder that is playing back.

Note

• Do not connect the p-compatible component more than

the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the

linked operations work properly.

• Operation of the player/recorder is possible with the

remote controller supplied with the AV receiver.

–Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is up to three.

–Blu-ray Disc recorder/DVD recorder/Digital Video Recorder is
