Precautions

1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without

the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-ser-

viceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your

Onkyo dealer.

3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over

with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth

dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and

water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a

clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alco-

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 or 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 lis-

tening modes.

You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

a b Front speakers (Left and Right)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-

vide 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.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements

distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly

for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear

level, or at the same height as the front speakers.

d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-

istic 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.

Subwoofer(s)

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.

de gh

g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)

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

Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, 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.

Corner

position

i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)

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

Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.

Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (pref-

erably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front

speakers.

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.

k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They signifi-

cantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the

front speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html

about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Connecting the AV Receiver

Speaker Connection Precautions

Connecting Your Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between

4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected

speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure

to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”

(➔ 47). 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 protection circuit may be activated.

• 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.

• 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 L/R, FRONT WIDE/

ZONE 2 L/R, or FRONT HIGH/ZONE 3 L/R termi-

nals.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 9.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need 9

speakers and a powered subwoofer.

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

woofer are 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 automati-

cally (➔ 29) or manually (➔ 47).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

Using Dipole Speakers

Normal speakers

Dipole speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround

back 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 dipole

speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point

toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speak-

ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward

each other, as shown.

Connecting Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on

your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your sub-

woofer is unpowered and you’re using an external

amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

jack to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.

The same signal is output from each jack.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be

used with front speakers and surround back speakers respec-

tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds

for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing

improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to

a 7.1 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the

front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R ter-

minal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown

below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the

“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-

amping (➔ 47).

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

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording,

that input source will be recorded.

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, PHONO,

etc.) 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

Cassette, CDR, MD,

etc.

VCR, DVD recorder

Camcorder

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 Disc/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.

• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is pro-

vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you

want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

■ 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.

Audyssey DSX is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve sur-

channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing

has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in

the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels

found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height

channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual

cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX

applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the

front and surround channels.

HDMI Input

Note

• For composite video, S-Video, and component video upconver-

sion for the HDMI output, the “Monitor Out” setting must be

set to other than “Analog” (➔ 43), and the “HDMI Input” set-

ting must be set to “- - - - -”. See “Video Connection Formats”

for more information on video signal flow and upconversion

(➔ 22).

• If no video component is connected to HDMI output (even if the

HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video

source based on the setting of “Component Video Input”.

• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained

here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital

Audio Input” (➔ 46). In this case, if you want to use the coaxial

or optical audio input, make the selection in the Audio Selector

in the Home menu (➔ 27).

• “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the

“- - - - -” option.

• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated

iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input

to “PORT” selector.

• Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to

“TV/CD” selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On”

(➔ 59). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics

Control) operation will not be guaranteed.

If you connect a video component to an HDMI input, you

must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if

you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to HDMI

IN 2, you must assign “HDMI 2” to the “BD/DVD” input

selector.

If you’ve connected your TV to the AV receiver with an

HDMI cable, composite video, S-video and component

video sources can be upconverted and output by the

HDMI output . You can set this for each input selector by

selecting the “- - - - -” option.

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology

featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™

Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home

theater audiences can now experience the rich details in

a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of

turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-

tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently

by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the

tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is

reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround

channel levels and frequency response. This enables

users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard-

less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-

matically applied when listening in any THX listening

mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX

Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX

Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

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.

Items can be set individually for each input selector.

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.

Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This set-

ting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to

be of equal loudness.

Note

• Even if you have selected other than “Audyssey” in “Equalizer”

setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction

and Speaker Setup, selecting “On” in the “Dynamic EQ” will

change the “Equalizer” setting to “Audyssey” (➔ 49).

using THX listening modes, set “Loudness Plus” setting to

“Off” and set “Preserve THX Settings” setting to “No” (➔ 49).

• When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, “Equalizer” is set

to “Audyssey” (➔ 49) and “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On”.

Audyssey MultEQ 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 every-

one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use

Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper

octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.

Before using this function, connect and position all of

your speakers.

Select this setting for content that has a very wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

`10dB:

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.

`15dB:

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 MultEQ will play at reference

level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB

position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mix-

ers heard it.

IntelliVolume

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.

■ IntelliVolume

`–12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.

With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each

input selector individually. This is useful if one of your

source components is louder or quieter than the others.

Use e/r to set the level.

If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use e

to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use r to

increase its input level.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

A/V Sync

Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for

every listener at any volume level.

■ A/V Sync

`0ms to 250ms in 5 ms steps.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

When using your DVD player’s progressive scanning

function, you may find that the picture and sound are out

of sync. With the A/V Sync setting, you can correct this

by applying a delay to the audio signal.

To view the TV picture while setting the delay, press

ENTER.

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.

To return to the previous screen, press RETURN.

If HDMI Lip Sync is enabled (➔ 58) and your TV or dis-

play supports HDMI Lip Sync, the displayed delay time

will be the summation of the A/V Sync delay time and the

HDMI Lip Sync delay time. The HDMI Lip Sync delay

time is displayed underneath in parentheses.

Note

• A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio listening mode is

selected, or when the Direct listening mode is used with an ana-

log input source.

• “A/V Sync” is not operable when the input selector is set to

“NET/USB”.

DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.

`Auto:

The format is detected automatically. If no digital

input signal is present, the corresponding analog

input is used instead.

`COAX:

This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been

assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and

HDMI inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is

automatically selected as a priority.

`OPT:

This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been

assigned as an input source. If both optical and

HDMI inputs have been assigned, optical input is

automatically selected as a priority.

The AV receiver always outputs analog signals from

multichannel analog input.

• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

• The setting will be reset to “Auto” when you change the setting

in the “Audio Selector” (➔ 62).

`Analog:

The AV receiver always outputs analog signals.

Note

• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

• This setting can be made only for the input source that is

assigned as HDMI IN, COAXIAL IN, or OPTICAL IN.

NET/USB

About NET

Connecting the AV Receiver

The AV receiver is network-ready, which means you can

hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet

cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or

media server. If your network is connected to the Internet,

you can also enjoy Internet radio.

To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug

one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV

receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a

LAN port on your router or switch.

The following diagram shows how you can connect the

AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s

connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port

100Base-TX switch built-in.

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network

is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a

computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, play-

back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-

mended.

■ Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supplying

IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-

eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-

neously via a single Internet connection. The AV

receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP

supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them

to configure themselves automatically.

• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-

mended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs

require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP

or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Internet radio

Modem

WAN port

Router

LAN port

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to con-

nect the AV receiver to your home network.

LAN/Ethernet port

■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must

have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection

(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory

results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-

mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please

consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Computer or media server

Note

• To receive Internet radio with the A V r eceiver, your broadband

Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.

Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet

connection.

• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings

automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,

see “Network Settings” (➔ 69).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have

a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com-

patible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server

to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a

proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver (➔ 69).

Listening to Internet Radio

Note

• When the NETWORK indicator flashes, confirm that the

Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the AV receiver.

• Services available may vary depending on the region. See

the separate instructions for more information.

To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV

receiver to a network with Internet access (➔ 63).

You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the

AV receiver from your computer and selecting stations in

your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.

Internet radio URLs in the following formats are sup-

ported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depend-

ing on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet

A list of media server appears.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s

network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to

change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set use

DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e.,

DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router’s DHCP

server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP

addresses, you’ll need to configure these settings yourself,

in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is

essential.

Tip

• The NETWORK indicator on the product’s display lights

up. When it flashes, confirm the network connection.

Note

• While the music files on another media server are being

played, remote playback cannot be used. Stop playback on

another media server.

media server, select media server from “Other

Libraries” menu on Windows Media Player 12.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by

routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to

automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain

names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a

domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web

browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS

to translate this into an IP address, in this case

63.148.251.142.

Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 37

may be produced by the front high, front wide and

surround back speakers. Select another listening

mode.

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

■ About DTS signals

Not much sound may be produced by the front high,

front wide and surround back speakers with some

sources.

—

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.

While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the 73

main room is reduced to 7.1-channels and the front

wide and surround back speakers produce no sound.

While Powered Zone 3 is being used, playback in the 74

main room is reduced to 7.1-channels and the front

high and surround back speakers produce no sound.

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 subwoofer produces no sound

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format

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.

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.

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 compo-

nents. 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, multichan-

nel 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/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.

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

up to three.

Not all functions may operate depending on the model.

–Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.
