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, 2 powered  
subwoofers 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 automatically  
(page 33) or manually (page 51).  
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”  
(page 51). 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.  
Front speakers ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔  
• 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.

About Speakers A and Speakers B  
Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each speaker  
configuration. Each configuration has its own pair of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer, center,  
surround, front high, and surround back speakers, as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when watching a  
DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair of stereo  
speakers (2-channels).  
Speakers A and Speakers B can be wired normally or bi-amped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time. For example,  
if Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only be wired normally.  
See also:  
The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to suit  
your exact requirements and application. Two typical applications are shown below.  
Speakers A: 7.2-channel playback  
Speakers B: Stereo playback  
In this example, Speakers A provides 7.2-channel  
surround sound for enjoying DVD movies, while  
Speakers A: 5.2-channel playback  
Speakers B: 2.1-channel playback with bi-amped  
front speakers  
In this example, Speakers A provides 5.2-channel  
Speakers B is used for serious music listening with a pair surround sound for enjoying DVD movies, while  
of top-quality stereo speakers.  
Speakers B is bi-amped for use with a pair of bi-amp  
capable speakers. Subwoofer 1 is used with Speakers A  
and Speakers B.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers  
Speakers A  
Important:  
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove  
the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and  
woofer (low) terminals.  
• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-  
amping. Refer to your speaker manual.  
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble  
performance.  
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive  
up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.  
Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as  
shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the  
speaker setting to enable bi-amping (page 51).

Audio Return Channel (ARC) function  
Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT MAIN  
of the AV receiver.  
• This function can be used when:  
– your TV is ARC capable, and  
– the TV/CD input selector is selected, and  
– “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On”(page 66), and  
– “Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 67).  
Tip  
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:  
– Set the “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting to “On” (page 66) for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 66) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI  
Control(RIHD)” setting to “Off”.  
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
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.  
• As the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (page 66) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV  
receiver’s speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to On”  
(page 66) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound if you adjust  
the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers from producing sound, you  
can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.

Do not connect the AV receiver’s USB port to a USB port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the  
AV receiver in this way.  
Connect a turntable (MM) that has a built-in phono preamp to TV/CD IN, or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned  
off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect it to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type  
cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s  
manual for details.  
If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire  
may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select the PC input selector, the video of the personal computer is output  
from the HDMI outputs. However, if you have assigned the HDMI inputs to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output  
signals received from the HDMI inputs instead of signals from PC IN, based on the priority order of HDMI > component video > PC  
IN (analog RGB). To have the signals output from PC IN, select “- - - - -” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting (page 49).  
Before using the multichannel input, you must assign it to an input selector. See “Analog Audio Input” (page 50) for details. To  
select the multichannel input, see “Audio Selector” (page 63). To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity of the multichannel input, see  
• With connection E, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen the audio in Zone 2/3 as well, use E  
and H.)  
• With connection H, you can listen to and record audio from external components while you are in Zone 2/3.  
• With connection H, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to  
connect to the main stereo.

Note  
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio  
Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room  
measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air  
conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers,  
or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use)  
or place it away from all audio electronics.

Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 offers two ways of measuring:  
the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey MultEQ  
XT32 Full Calibration”.  
• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from  
one position to perform the speaker setting only.  
• “Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration” uses the  
measurement from eight positions to correct room  
response in addition to the speaker setting.  
The more positions are used in measuring, the better the  
listening environment will become. We recommend using  
a measurement from eight positions to create the best  
listening environment.  
The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes  
about 20 minutes.  
Total measurement time varies depending on the number  
of speakers.  
• Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup  
cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
• Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup  
can only be used with Speakers A. When you insert the speaker  
setup microphone with Speakers B selected, the speaker layout  
is automatically switched to Speakers A.

Measurement procedure  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes  
measurements at up to eight positions within the listening  
area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated  
listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the  
ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your  
hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate  
results.  
Speaker setup microphone  
The speaker setting menu appears.  
First measurement position  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would  
normally sit within the listening environment.  
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 uses the measurements from  
this position to calculate speaker distance, level,  
polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the  
subwoofer.  
Note  
• The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected  
to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to other  
video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when  
changing settings.

Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve  
surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds  
Wide 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 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.

Dialogue Normalization  
Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, which is used to keep the programs at the same  
average listening level so the user does not have to change the volume control between Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital  
Plus and Dolby TrueHD programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, Dolby  
Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read  
Dialog Norm X dB” (X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with THX  
calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the volume. For  
example, if you see the following message: “Dialog Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall  
output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a movie theater  
where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment.

selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray  
Disc/DVD player to the MULTI CH input, you must assign  
it to the “BD/DVD” input selector.  
• The “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed to the

Dolby  
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 certain 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 regardless of the volume  
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically 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.

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or

listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field  
backward. Lower settings move it forward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much

Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in  
volume levels which can occur between different contents  
or source components, freeing the user from having to  
make volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the  
frequency balance according to the playback volume, it  
recreates the original source audio. Dolby Volume  
therefore provides comfortable listening, effectively  
controlling the volume level difference without unnatural  
changes in volume or sound quality to recreate the balance  
and nuance of the source audio.  
Center Width

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

center speaker, the center channel sound is output from  
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).

In off mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble  
attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds

listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to  
bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however,  
prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher  
gain levels.

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.  
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  
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. A home theater system

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 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.  
®
automatically calibrated by Audyssey MultEQ XT32  
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 mixers heard it.  
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. 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.  
Note  
• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, these technologies  
cannot be used.

signal is output from the HDMI output. You may want to  
turn this preference on if your TV is connected to the  
HDMI output and you want to listen to the audio from a  
connected component through your TV’s speakers.  
Normally, this should be set to “Off”.  
• When an p-compatible component is connected to the  
AV receiver via an HDMI cable, the name of the connected  
component is displayed on the AV receiver display. For  
example, while you are watching TV broadcasting, if you  
operate a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (being powered on) with the  
remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the Blu-ray  
Disc/DVD player will be displayed on the AV receiver.  
• Set it to Offwhen a connected piece of equipment is not  
compatible or it is unclear whether the equipment is compatible  
or not.  
Note  
• If “On” is selected and the audio can be output from the TV, the  
AV receiver will output no sound through its speakers. In this  
case, “TV Speaker” appears on the display by pressing  
DISPLAY.  
• If operation is not normal when set to On, change the setting  
to Off.  
• When HDMI Control(RIHD)is set to On, this setting is  
fixed to Auto.  
• Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for  
details.  
• With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output even  
when this setting is set to On.  
• When “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “On”, the  
power consumption on standby mode slightly increases.  
(Depending on the TV status, the AV receiver will enter standby  
mode as usual.)  
• When “Audio TV Out” or HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to  
Onand you’re listening through your TV’s speakers  
(page 19), turning up the AV receiver’s volume control will  
make the sound be output from the AV receiver’s front left and  
right 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 p control does not support HDMI OUT SUB. Use  
HDMI OUT MAIN instead.  
• When the source equipment is connected with the u

Audio Return Channel  
Network  
`Off  
`Auto:  
After modifying the network settings, you must confirm  
the changes by executing “Save”.  
The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to  
the HDMI OUT MAIN of the AV receiver.  
The audio return channel (ARC) function allows an ARC  
capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT  
MAIN of the AV receiver. To use this function, you must  
select the TV/CD input selector and your TV must be  
ARC capable.  
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 to  
use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default  
(i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s  
DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static  
IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in  
which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is  
essential.  
Note  
• If you set “Audio Return Channel” to “Auto”, the “Audio  
Selector” settings of the TV/CD input selector will be  
automatically switched to “ARC” (page 63).  
• The “Audio Return Channel” setting can be set only when the  
HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “On”.  
What’s DHCP?  
• This setting is set to “Auto” automatically when the “HDMI  
Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” for the first time.  
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.  
Lip Sync  
`Off  
`On  
This function allows the AV receiver to automatically  
correct any delay between the video and the audio, based  
on the data from the connected monitor.  
Note  
• This function works only if your HDMI-compatible TV supports  
HDMI Lip Sync.  
MAC Address  
• If the “Monitor Out” setting is set to “HDMI Main”,  
Both(Main)” or “Both” (page 48), the delay will be  
corrected in accordance with the monitor connected to HDMI  
OUT MAIN. On the other hand, if “HDMI Sub” or  
Both(Sub)” is selected, the delay will be corrected in  
accordance with the monitor connected to HDMI OUT SUB.  
This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control)  
address. This address cannot be changed.  
DHCP  
`Enable  
`Disable  
This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver  
uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address,  
Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.  
After changing the settings of the HDMI  
Control(RIHD), HDMI Throughor Audio  
Return Channelturn off the power on all connected  
pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer  
to the user’s manuals for all connected pieces of  
equipment.

Learning Commands  
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:  
8RECEIVER, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC,  
REMOTE MODE, MODE, HOME.  
The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the  
commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting,  
for example, the Play command from your CD player’s  
remote controller, the supplied remote controller can learn  
it, and then reproduce the exact same command when its  
1 is pressed in CD remote mode.  
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90  
commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot  
of memory are learned.  
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, and Pause are  
preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD  
players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can  
learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed  
commands at any time by resetting the remote controller  
This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote  
control code (page 80) but some buttons don’t work  
as expected.  
• To overwrite a previously acquire command, repeat this  
procedure.  
8RECEIVER  
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may  
be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some  
remotes with which learning is impossible.  
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be acquire.  
• When the remote controller runs out of batteries, all commands  
acquired will be lost and will have to be learned all over again.  
Therefore, do not discard your other remote controllers.  
REMOTE

Deleting Acquired Commands  
1. While holding down REMOTE MODE for the mode  
from which you want to delete a command, press and  
hold down TV until the REMOTE MODE button  
lights (about 3 seconds).  
2. Press REMOTE MODE or the button from which you  
want to delete the commands.  
While holding down REMOTE MODE for the  
1
mode in which you want to use the command, press  
and hold down 8RECEIVER until the REMOTE  
MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).  
On the supplied remote controller, press the  
2
button to which you want to assign the new  
command.  
The REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.  
When you press REMOTE MODE, all commands  
learned in that mode will be deleted.  
Point the remote controllers at each other, within  
3
about 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and then press and

About DTS signals  
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 subwoofer produces no sound  
When you play a source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer  
produces no sound.

There’s no picture from a source connected to  
an HDMI IN  
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.  
Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is 99  
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC  
are not guaranteed.  
When the “Monitor Out” setting is set to “Analog”, 48, 95  
no video is output by the HDMI outputs.  
When the resolution is set to any resolution not  
supported by the TV, no video is output from the  
HDMI outputs.  
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.  
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  
player.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

The following settings can be made for the  
S-Video and composite video inputs  
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these  
settings.  
On the AV receiver, press the input selector for the  
input source that you want to set and the SETUP button  
simultaneously. While holding down the input selector  
button, press SETUP until “Video ATT:On” appears  
on the display. Then, release both buttons. To reactivate  
the setting, repeat the above process so that “Video  
ATT:Off” appears on the display, and release the  
buttons.  
• Video Attenuation  
This setting can be made for the BD/DVD, VCR/DVR,  
CBL/SAT, GAME or AUX input.  
If you have a game console connected to the composite  
video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can  
attenuate the gain.  
Important Note Regarding Video Playback  
The AV receiver can upconvert component video, S-  
Video, and composite video sources for display on a TV  
connected to the HDMI output(s). However, if the picture  
quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the  
picture worse or disappear altogether.  
In this case, try the following:  
If the video source is connected to a component  
video input, connect your TV to the  
1
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT.  
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input,  
connect your TV to a MONITOR OUT S.  
If the video source is connected to a composite video  
input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.  
On the main menu, select “Input/Output Assign”  
and then “Component Video Input” (page 50).  
2
Video ATT:Off: (default).  
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT  
VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and  
assign it to “IN1”.  
Video ATT:On: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
If the picture on your TV/monitor connected to  
the HDMI output(s) is unstable, try switching  
the DeepColor function off  
To turn off the DeepColor function, simultaneously  
press the CBL/SAT and 8ON/STANDBY buttons on  
the AV receiver. While holding down CBL/SAT, press  
8ON/STANDBY until “Off” appears on the display.  
Then, release both buttons. To reactivate the DeepColor  
function, repeat the above process until “On” appears  
on the display and release the buttons.  
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT  
VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and  
assign it to “IN2”.  
If the video source is connected to COMPONENT  
VIDEO IN 3, select the relevant input selector, and  
assign it to “IN3”.  
If the video source is connected to an S-Video input  
or composite video input, select the relevant input  
selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal  
processing and control functions. In very rare situations,  
severe interference, noise from an external source, or  
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely  
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it  
back in.  
Tip  
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to  
Direct” (page 61).  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded  
correctly.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the AV receiver to standby.

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path  
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format  
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to  
other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,  
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.  
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting  
(page 48), which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the  
HDMI output.  
Tip  
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component  
video input passing through to component video output).  
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to “Direct” (page 61).

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, DeepColor, 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.  
*3  
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.

Network/USB Features  
Connecting to the Network  
Network Requirements  
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.  
Ethernet Network  
For the 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, playback may be unreliable, so it is  
recommended to use wired connections.  
Internet radio  
Ethernet Router  
A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying  
of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:  
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows  
several networked computers to access the Internet  
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV  
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.  
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP  
supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing  
them to configure themselves automatically.  
• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is  
recommended.  
Modem  
Router  
WAN  
LAN  
Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs  
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP  
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
CAT5 Ethernet cable  
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to  
connect the AV receiver to your home network.  
Computer or media server  
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  
recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).  
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re  
unsure.  
Note  
• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, 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,  
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have  
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-  
compatible 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

• If you connect a USB hard disk drive to the AV receiver’s USB  
port, we recommend that you use its AC adapter to power it.  
• The AV receiver supports USB MP3 players that support the  
USB Mass Storage Class standard, which allows USB devices to  
be connected to computers without the need for special drivers  
or software. Note that not all USB MP3 players support the USB  
Mass Storage Class standard. Refer to your USB MP3 player’s  
instruction manual for details.  
• Protected WMA music files on an MP3 player cannot be played.  
• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss or  
damage to data stored on a USB device when that device is used  
with the AV receiver. We recommend that you back up your  
important music files beforehand.  
• MP3 players containing music files that are managed with  
special music software are not supported.  
• Operation is not guaranteed for all USB devices, which includes  
the ability to power them.  
• Do not connect your USB device via a USB hub. The USB  
device must be connected directly to the AV receiver’s USB  
port.  
• If the USB device contains a lot of data, the AV receiver may  
take a while to read it.  
• Up to 20000 folders can be displayed, and folders may
