Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything, 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 AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an  
obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote con-  
trol sensor.

or when you want to operate an Onkyo component  
without u connection, point the remote controller at  
the other component to use it.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-  
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.  
• When you want to operate an Onkyo component with  
u connection or an  
-compatible compo-  
nent connected via HDMI (pages 90, 91), point the  
remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control

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 DVDs 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.  
Front left and right speakers  
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the  
sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from  
the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.  
Front high left and right speakers  
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 left and right  
speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to  
place left and right at an angle slightly wider than the front left and  
right speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the  
front left and right speakers. Front high and surround back speakers  
produce no sound at the same time.  
Surround back left and right  
speakers  
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 localiza-  
tion behind the listener. Position  
them behind the listener about 2–  
3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.  
Front high and surround back  
speakers produce no sound at the  
same time.  
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the  
front left and right speakers,  
making sound movements dis-  
tinct and providing a full sound  
image. In movies it’s used  
mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to your TV fac-  
ing forward at about ear level, or  
at the same height as the front  
left and right speakers.  
Subwoofer  
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 posi-  
tion. 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.  
Surround left and right speakers  
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 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they  
should be equidistant from the listener.  
You can connect the powered subwoofer  
with two SUBWOOFER PREOUT jacks  
respectively.  
Tip: To find the best position for your sub-  
woofer, while playing a movie or some  
music with good bass, experiment by  
placing your subwoofer at various posi-  
tions within the room, and choose the one  
that provides the most satisfying results.

minal before inserting the banana plug.  
Speaker Configuration  
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center  
hole of the speaker terminal.  
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need  
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table indicates the channels you should  
use depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
Using Dipole Speakers  
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and  
right, surround back left and right and front high left and  
right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in  
two directions.  
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them  
to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround  
left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so  
that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the  
surround back left and right and front high left and right  
dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows  
point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
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, DVD/BD 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).  
*1  
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.)  
*2  
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 standard:  
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 DVD/BD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.  
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  
-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.  
• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 79).  
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 90) and “Controlling a DVD/BD Player, or DVD/BD Recorder” (page 91) for opera-  
tion.  
Note:  
Do not connect the  
-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so  
that the linked operations work properly.  
• DVD/BD player is up to three.  
• DVD/BD recorder is up to three.  
• Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.  
Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.  
When the  
-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not  
guaranteed.  
About Copyright Protection  
*2  
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.  
*3  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.  
*2 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.  
*3 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.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued  
Making HDMI Connections  
Step 1:  
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray player/DVD player,  
TV, projector, and so on.  
Step 2:  
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 39).  
Video Signals  
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.  
Composite video and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Connection For-  
mats” on page 24 for more information.  
Audio Signals  
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV  
receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see  
page 78).  
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “Audio TV Out”  
setting to “On” (see page 78), and set your DVD/BD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:  
• 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.  
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be  
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV  
power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound  
may be cut off.  
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 78), or “TV Control” is set to “On” (see page 79) and  
you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output  
by the AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your  
TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.  
• 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.

Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected  
via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will auto-  
matically turn on and select that component as the  
input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set  
to Standby, all components connected via u will  
also go on Standby.  
Connecting the Power Cord  
Notes:  
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all your  
speakers and AV components.  
• Plug the end of the power cord into a suitable wall out-  
let.  
Direct Change  
• Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary  
power surge that might interfere with other electrical  
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem,  
plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.  
When playback is started on a component connected  
via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that  
component as the input source.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to  
control your other u-capable Onkyo components,  
pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s  
remote control sensor instead of the component. You  
must enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(see page 89).  
Notes:  
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables  
are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).  
• Some components have two u jacks. You can con-  
nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for  
connecting additional u-capable components.  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Con-  
necting other manufacturer’s components may cause a  
malfunction.  
• Some components may not support all u functions.  
Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo  
components.  
• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and  
Direct Change u functions do not work.

If you connect a component to a digital input jack, you  
must assign that jack to an input selector. For example, if  
you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN1 jack,  
you should assign that jack to the CD input selector. By  
default, the COAXIAL IN1 jack is assigned to the DVD/  
BD input selector, although this can be changed.  
Here are the default assignments.  
“COAX1”, “COAX2”, “OPT1”,  
“OPT2”, or “- - - - - (analog)”.  
• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an  
input selector in “HDMI Input  
Setup” on page 39, this input assign-  
ment is automatically set to the same  
HDMI IN. And in addition to the  
usual inputs (e.g., COAX1, COAX2,  
etc.), you can also select HDMI  
inputs.

Measurement Positions  
Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes  
measurements at up to three positions within the  
listening area.  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,  
Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of  
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass  
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the  
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary  
listening position.  
Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by  
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems  
over the listening area in both the frequency and time  
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for  
everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also  
use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the  
proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see  
page 71).  
a First measurement point  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would  
normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ  
uses the measurements from this position to calcu-  
late speaker distance, level, polarity, and the opti-  
mum crossover value for the subwoofer.  
b Second measurement point  
The right side of the listening area.  
c Third measurement point  
The left side of the listening area.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to “On”,  
The distances between points a and b and points a  
and c must be at least 1 meter.  
From the examples below, choose the listening area that  
best matches yours and place the microphone  
accordingly when prompted.  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ becomes available.  
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  
constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ  
combines information from incoming source levels  
with actual output sound levels in the room, a prereq-  
uisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with  
Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for  
every listener at any volume level.

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 pre-  
ferred volume setting by the user and then monitors  
how the volume of program material is being per-  
ceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an  
adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic  
Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjust-  
ments to maintain the desired playback volume level  
while optimizing the dynamic range.  
Listening area  
:
:
Listening position  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic  
Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted  
automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal bal-  
ance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain  
the same whether watching movies, flipping between  
television channels, or changing from stereo to sur-  
round sound content.

Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very  
low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be  
detected by the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and  
Speaker Setup.  
If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker  
Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s  
volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest  
crossover frequency, and then try running the  
Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup  
again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the  
sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an  
appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-  
pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your  
subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

Recording  
This section explains how to record the selected input  
source to a component with recording capability, and  
how to record audio and video from different sources.  
Recording 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 (i.e., TV/  
TAPE, CD) is selected, the video input source remains  
unchanged.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con-  
nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by  
the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected DVDs 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.  
AV Recording  
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-  
sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT  
jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder  
(e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR  
OUT jack. See page 29 or 34 for hookup information.  
Camcorder

5.1-channel source + Dolby EX  
About the Listening Modes  
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX  
soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround  
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra  
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound  
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
Direct  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-  
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are  
output as they are.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete  
channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-chan-  
nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-  
back.  
Multichannel  
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
DTS  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to  
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-  
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that  
bear the DTS logo.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is  
high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and  
24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).  
DTS-ES Discrete  
Dolby PLIIx Music  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks,  
which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/  
7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio  
channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree  
sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the  
surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete  
soundtrack.  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
Dolby PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those  
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height  
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effec-  
tively use existing program material when height chan-  
nel speaker outputs are present. Dolby Pro Logic IIz  
Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from  
movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to  
upmix game content.  
DTS-ES Matrix  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks,  
which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix  
soundtrack.  
Dolby Digital  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.

channel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels  
of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, provid-  
ing a very natural and seamless surround sound experi-  
ence that fully envelops the listener.  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of  
a large hall.  
Neo:6 Cinema  
Unplugged  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV,  
DVD, VHS).  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Neo:6 Music  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-  
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
5.1-channel source + Neo:6  
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback.  
TV Logic  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-  
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.  
Game-RPG  
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
Game-Action  
Use this mode when playing action game discs.  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan-  
nels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels  
with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
Game-Rock  
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.  
Game-Sports  
DTS Express  
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.  
This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam-  
pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive  
audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub  
Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast  
and media servers.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Full Mono  
DSD  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format  
used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).  
This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-  
channel audio.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound  
even with only two or three speakers. This works by con-  
trolling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right  
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

it backward.  
Center Width  
0 to 7 (default: 3)  
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 output by only  
the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front  
left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.  
Dolby EX  
Dolby EX  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is

DTS Setting  
Neo:6 Music  
Center Image  
0 to 5 (default: 2)  
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.  
Audyssey Settings  
When the room correction and speaker setup is complete, the “Equalizer Settings” (page 69) will be set to “Audyssey”  
and the “Dynamic EQ” will be set to “On”.  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).  
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.  
Dynamic EQ  
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating 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.  
Dynamic Volume (see page 45)  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.  
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.  
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.  
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most,  
causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.  
Note:  
After the room correction and speaker setup is completed, even if Equalizer Setting is set to other than “Audys-  
sey”, when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, Equalizer Settings is set to “Audyssey”.  
When Dynamic Volume is set to effective, Equalizer Setting is set to “Audyssey” and Dynamic EQ is set to  
“On”. When Dynamic EQ is set to “Off”, Dynamic Volume becomes “Off” automatically.  
Theater-Dimensional Setting  
Listening Angle  
Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).  
Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.  
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-  
sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front  
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.  
Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidis-  
tant from the listening position and at an angle close to  
one of the two available settings.

Controlling an RI Dock  
By pressing the REMOTE MODE button that’s been  
programmed with the remote control code for your  
Dock, you can control your iPod in the Dock with the  
following buttons.  
a ON/STANDBY button  
Turns the iPod on or off.  
Notes:  
• This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-  
A2X RI Dock on or off.  
For some RI docks, the [ON/STANDBY] button may not  
work with a remote control code 82990 (without u).  
In this case, make an u connection and enter a remote  
control code 82351 (with u).  
Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this  
button, in which case you should press it again. This is  
because the remote controller transmits the On and  
Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is  
already on, it will remain on when the remote control-  
ler transmits an On command. Similarly, if your iPod  
is already off, it will remain off when the remote con-  
troller transmits an Off command.  
For details on entering a remote control code, see  
page 88.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue  
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the  
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 16).  
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected  
(page 50).  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
• Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.  
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 the [VCR/DVR]  
button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear”  
will appear on the display and the AV receiver will  
enter Standby mode.  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 52).  
• If there’s no sound from a DVD/BD player connected  
to an HDMI IN, check the DVD/BD player’s output  
settings, and be sure to select a supported audio for-  
mat.  
• 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.  
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con-  
nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.  
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,  
twisted, or damaged.  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is  
connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected  
to the MONITOR OUT V, or the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when  
changing settings.  
• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 64).  
• Specify the speaker distances (page 68) and adjust the  
individual speaker levels (page 69).  
• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not  
still connected.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into  
the wall outlet.  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five  
seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to  
Auto (page 81).  
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned  
on  
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 (page 67).  
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,  
and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-  
nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord  
and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver  
stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect 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.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro  
Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game listen-  
ing mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio  
station or mono TV program, the sound is concen-  
trated in the center speaker.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
• When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or  
Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speak-  
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
Audio  
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet  
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly (page 41).  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 21).  
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-  
nents are connected properly (pages 23–35).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
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  
(page 67).  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby  
Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 72).  
About DTS signals  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your  
player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver  
does not switch formats immediately, you may not  
hear any sound, in which case you should stop your  
player for about three seconds, and then resume play-  
back.  
The front high and surround back speakers  
produce no sound  
• Depending on the current listening mode, no sound  
may be produced by the front high and surround back  
speakers. Select another listening mode (page 64).  
• Not much sound may be produced by the front high  
and surround back speakers with some sources.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
• 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.  
• 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 mal-  
function.  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front  
high and surround back speakers produce no sound  
(page 82).  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• When you play source material that contains no infor-  
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces  
no sound.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 67).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal 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 beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
• 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.  
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes  
cannot be selected (pages 60–63).  
Video  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 21).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected (pages 23–35).  
If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, select  
“- - - - -” in the “HDMI Input Setup” on page 39 to  
• If the video source is connected to a component video  
input, you must assign that input to an input selector  
(page 40), and your TV must be connected to either  
the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONI-  
TOR OUT (pages 26 and 23).  
• If the video source is connected to a composite video  
input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT  
or the corresponding composite video output  
(pages 26 and 23).  
• If no front high and surround back speakers are con-  
nected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1  
playback is not possible.  
You can not always select all of the listening modes,  
depending on the number of the speakers connected  
(pages 60–63).  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set  
(page 77).  
• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been  
adjusted to high positive values (page 69), then the  
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.  
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set  
automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Cor-  
rection and Speaker Setup function has been com-  
pleted (page 46).  
Noise can be heard  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
you must assign that input to an input selector  
(page 39), and your TV must be connected to the  
HDMI OUT (page 23).  
• 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.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.

• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is  
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC  
are not supported (page 23).  
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV  
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not  
support the current video resolution and you need to  
select another resolution on your DVD/BD player.  
Can’t control other components  
• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the u  
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.  
Connecting only an u cable won’t work (page 36).  
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-  
ler mode (pages 13 and 90–96).  
• If you’ve connected an u-capable Onkyo RI Dock to  
the TV/TAPE IN, GAME IN or VCR/DVR IN jacks,  
for the remote controller to work properly, you must  
set the display to DOCK (page 44).  
The onscreen menus don’t appear  
If you cannot operate it, you will need to enter the  
appropriate remote control code (page 88).

Important Note Regarding Video Playback  
How do I change the language of a multiplex  
source  
• Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust”  
The AV receiver can upconvert component video and  
composite video sources for display on a TV connected  
to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the  
source is poor, upconversion may make the picture  
worse or disappear altogether.  
The u functions don’t work  
• To use u, you must make an u connection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-  
nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi-  
tally (page 36).  
In this case, try the following:  
1 If the video source is connected to a component  
video input, connect your TV to the  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.  
The functions Auto Power On/Standby and
