Connecting the TV and Players
Before Start
Connection to TV
● Connect this unit between the TV and
player.
Connect the "to TV" jack and the HDMI IN
jack of the TV with a HDMI cable. This is
the only connection necessary with a TV
that supports ARC. If your TV does not
support ARC, you need to connect the "TV"
jack to the audio output jack on the TV with
a digital optical cable or an RCA cable, in
addition to this connection to the "to TV"
● To select the source to play, select
the input selector button with the
same name as the jack to which it is
connected. Input switches automatically
when you have connected equipment
that conforms to the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) standard to this unit
using a HDMI cable. ()

appropriate settings on this unit. See "3 HDMI Setup"
of "Step 2: Setting Up".
● The power cord must be connected

2
Connecting the AM/FM Antenna
Connect to the "BD/DVD", "CBL/SAT", "GAME 1", and
"STRM BOX" jacks using a HDMI cable. Connect the
equipment to the corresponding jack, for example a Blu-ray
Disc Player to "BD/DVD", so that it is easy for you when
selecting with the input selector. Connect a Streaming
Media Player to the "STRM BOX" jack. When a power
supply is required, connect using a USB cable to the
POWER OUT port. ()
Connect the antennas to listen to AM/FM broadcast. When
listening to the broadcast for the first time, adjust the
antenna position and orientation to get the best reception.
AM loop antenna
(supplied)
¼The POWER OUT jack supports a 5V/1A power supply.
Connection with a player that does not have a
HDMI jack
Connect equipment with video output jacks to the "BD/
DVD", "CBL/SAT", "GAME 2", and "VCR" jacks. Connect
with component video cable or composite video cable for
video signals and digital coaxial cable or RCA cable for
audio signals.
Indoor FM antenna
(supplied)
Connect audio equipment such as a CD Player using a
digital optical cable or an RCA cable to the "CD" jack.
● Video signals input to the component video input or
the composite video input will be upconverted to HDMI
signals and then output from the "to TV" jack. When
upconverting video signals input to the component video
input for output from the HDMI OUT jack, set the output
resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If the input has
480p/576p or higher resolution, a message prompting
you to change the resolution setting will appear. If your
player does not support 480i or 576i output, use the
composite video jack.
Fix with a tack on
the wall.
(North American models)
(European, Australian
and Asian models)
● Connection with a digital coaxial cable or digital optical
cable is necessary for playback of digital surround
sources such as Dolby Digital. The digital in optical jack
of the unit has a cover, push in the cable against the
cover as it is turned inside.
Assemble the AM loop antenna (supplied).

settings and connections with your TV. Adjust in "Step 3:
Playing Back", "4 Quick Setup Menu", "A/V Sync".
C l e a r
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the
power on/off or disconnecting/connecting the
power cord, which is easier than working on the
connection, setting and operating procedure. Try
the simple measures on both the unit and the
connected device. If the problem is that the video
or audio is not output or the HDMI linked operation
does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI
cable may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful
not to wind the HDMI cable since if wound the
HDMI cable may not fit well. After reconnecting, turn
off and on the unit and the connected device.
Cannot play digital surround�
● To enjoy digital surround sound including Dolby Digital and
DTS, audio output should be set to "Bitstream output" on the
connected Blu-ray Disc Player or other device.
Cannot output audio such as Dolby Atmos according
to the format of the source�
Press zON/

STANDBY�
down CBL/SAT,
● If you cannot output audio according to the format of the
source (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio,
etc.), in the Blu-ray Disc Player settings try setting "BD video
supplementary sound" (or secondary sound) to "Off". Change
the listening mode for each source after changing the setting to
confirm.
How to reset the remote controller:
1� While holding down RECEIVER on the remote controller,
press Q until the remote indicator stays lit (about 3
seconds)�
HDMI control does not function correctly�
● Set the CEC link function of the unit to on. It is also necessary
to make the HDMI linked system setting on the TV. See the TV's
instruction manual for details.
2� Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER again�
The AV receiver turns off unexpectedly�
● The AV receiver will automatically enter standby mode when
Auto Standby or Sleep Timer is set and launched.
Remote indicator
● The protection circuit may have been activated. If this is the
case, when you turn the unit on again, "AMP Diag Mode" will
appear on the main unit’s display. The unit will then enter a
mode that detects abnormal conditions. If no problems are
detected, "AMP Diag Mode" will disappear and the unit will
return to a normal state. If "CHECK SP WIRE" appears on the
display, the speaker cables may be short-circuited. Turn the
unit off, and check to see if the cable core of any of the speaker
cables is in contact with that of another speaker cable or with
the rear panel. After that, turn the unit on again. If "NG" appears,
unplug the power cord immediately and contact your Onkyo
dealer.
Resetting the unit
Resetting the unit to the status at the time of shipment may solve
the problem. If the measures above do not solve the problem, reset
the unit with the following procedure. If you reset the unit status,
your preferences will be reset to the defaults. Note them down
before starting reset.
RECEIVER
Q
How to reset:
1� While holding down CBL/SAT on the main unit (note that
step 2 must be performed with this button pressed down)

correct input for the player. Also check that muting is not on.
● Not all listening modes use all speakers.
2� Press zON/STANDBY on the main unit� ("Clear" appears on
the display and the unit returns to standby�)
● Do not unplug the power cord until "Clear" disappears from
the display.
There’s no picture�
● A wrong input selector button has been selected.
● To display video from the connected player on the TV screen
while the unit is in standby, you need to enable HDMI Standby
Through function.
● When the TV image is blurry or unclear, power cord or
connection cables of the unit may have interfered. In that case,
keep distance between TV antenna cable and cables of the unit.
