Speaker Configuration  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
The following table indicates the channels you should use  
depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a passive  
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid  
bass.  
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  
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels  
for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection  
circuit may be activated.  
To get the best from your surround sound system, you  
need to set the speaker settings manually (page 29).  
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• 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.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Audio return channel (ARC) function  
Audio return channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the  
AV receiver (page 35).  
• To use ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must support ARC function and “HDMI  
Ctrl(RIHD)” is set to “On” (page 34).  
Tip  
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:  
– Set the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)” setting to “On” for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 35) when the TV is not compatible with p or the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)”  
setting to “Off”.  
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
– To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (page 14).  
Note  
• 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” (page 35) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s  
volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)” setting is set to On”  
(page 35) to hear from speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers  
will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. 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 European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available  
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these  
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can  
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,  
rock, etc.).  
Presetting AM/FM Stations  
You can store a combination of up to 40 of your favorite  
AM/FM radio stations as presets.  
Tune into the AM/FM station that you want to  
store as a preset.

channel.  
The station or channel is stored and the preset number  
stops flashing.  
Note  
• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver  
may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also,  
unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported  
characters are received. This is not a malfunction.  
Repeat this procedure for all of your favorite AM/FM  
radio stations.  
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be  
displayed intermittently or not at all.

Crossover (Crossover Frequency)  
This setting is advantageous for the speakers that you  
specified as “Small” in the “Sp Config (Speaker  
Configuration)” (page 29). To get the best bass  
performance from your speaker system, you need to set  
the crossover frequency according to the size and  
frequency response of your speakers.  
`40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz,  
120Hz, 150Hz, 200Hz  
(The default setting varies from country to country.)  
Use the diameter of the smallest speaker in your system  
when choosing the crossover frequency.  
Note  
• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector in  
“HDMI Input” (page 28), this input assignment is  
automatically set to the same HDMI IN. And in addition to the  
usual inputs (e.g., COAXIAL, etc.), you can also select HDMI

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of  
deteriorating 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  
prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction  
solution.

Reference Level

`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.  
®
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.  
Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the  
necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the  
desired playback volume level while optimizing the  
dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine  
by itself, but can also be used with  
`15 dB:  
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other  
program material that is mixed at very high listening  
levels and has a compressed dynamic range.  
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference.  
To achieve the same reference level in a home theater  
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.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film  
mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference  
response and surround envelopment when the volume is  
turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is  
not always used in music or other non-film content. The  
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.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on,  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass  
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and  
dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping  
between television channels, or changing from stereo to  
surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts  
the volume.

Appendix  
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.  
When the power is restored after a power  
interruption, “CHECK SP WIRE” appears on the  
display  
The protection circuitry has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet  
immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and  
input sources, and then leave the AV receiver with  
its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that,  
reconnect the power cord and set the volume to  
maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set then 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.  
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  
8 ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display  
and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

radio presets and custom settings.  
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet  
Press SPEAKERS A or B to turn on the speaker  
indicator that you want to output sound.  
Remote indicator  
Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly.  
Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed 12  
in all the way.  
Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all  
components are connected properly.  
RECEIVER  
AUDIO  
Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is 11  
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with  
the metal part of each speaker terminal.  
Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 18  
Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. 11  
Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for 18  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.  
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  
seconds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER  
again.  
If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, 26  
press the remote controller’s MUTING to unmute  
the AV receiver.  
While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output from the  
speakers.  
The on-screen 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.  
If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to 49  
an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output  
settings, and be sure to select a supported audio  
format.  
Check the digital audio output setting on the  
connected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged  
into the wall outlet.  
If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must  
connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.  
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait  
five seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
Make sure that none of the connecting cables are  
bent, twisted, or damaged.  
Not all listening modes use all speakers.  
The AV receiver turns off unexpectedly  
Specify the speaker distances and adjust the  
individual speaker levels.  
When the set Auto Standby starts running, the AV  
receiver will automatically go standby.

Only the front speakers produce sound  
Noise can be heard  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, 22  
only the front speakers and subwoofer produce  
sound.  
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.  
Check the Speaker Configuration.  
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music, or Dolby Pro Logic II Game  
listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM  
radio station or mono TV program, the sound is  
concentrated in the center speaker.  
Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.  
About DTS signals  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
When DTS program material ends and the DTS  
bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS  
listening 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 playback.  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or  
Mono listening mode is selected, the surround  
speakers produce no sound.  
Depending on the source and current listening mode, 2122  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
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 center speaker produces no sound  
When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, 22  
the center speaker produces no sound.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
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.  
The subwoofer outputs no sound while only  
Speakers B is on. Turn on Speakers A.  
When you play source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer  
produces no sound.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an  
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio  
signals, audio output may not start immediately.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
Check the digital audio output setting on the  
connected device. On some game consoles, such as  
those that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
Video  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
There’s no picture  
Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 2122  
cannot be selected.  
Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 12  
in all the way.  
Make sure that each video component is properly  
connected.  
Can’t get 5.1 playback  
If the video source is connected to a component  
video input, you must assign that input to an input  
selector, and your TV must be connected to  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.  
When speaker B is turned on, Speakers A is reduced 24  
to 2.1 channel playback.  
You can not always select all of the listening modes, 2122  
depending on the number of the speakers connected.  
If the video source is connected to a composite video 14  
input, your TV must be connected to the  
corresponding composite video output.  
The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
After the volume level of each individual speaker  
has been adjusted, the maximum volume may be  
reduced.  
If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, 13, 28  
you must assign that input to an input selector, and  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.  
On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is 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/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).  
*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:  
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/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.  
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.  
*1  
*2  
*3  
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.
