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-  
serviceable. 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,  
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may  
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.  
4. Power  
For British models  
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power  
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by  
qualified service personnel.  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance  
with the following code:  
Blue: Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings  
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured  
black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured  
red.  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION  
CAREFULLY.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.  
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel  
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
IMPORTANT  
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse  
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved  
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere  
rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA  
mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.  
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse  
in the plug.  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is  
readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully disconnect from the  
mains. If you do not intend to use the unit for an  
extended period, remove the power cord from the AC  
outlet.

• 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.  
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have  
contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may  
damage the AV receiver.  
Speaker Configuration  
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 powered  
subwoofer is 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 29) or manually (page 42).

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and  
you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each  
speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all  
you need to do is to match the color of each label to the  
corresponding speaker terminal.  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
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.  
• 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.

Using a Powered Subwoofer  
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.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers  
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 5.1 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 43).

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.  
• 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 52), and  
– “Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 53).  
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 52) for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 53) 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.  
– To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (page 16).  
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 53) 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 52) 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.

pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s  
remote control sensor instead of the component. You  
must enter the appropriate remote control code first  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other  
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.  
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to  
the manuals supplied with your Onkyo components.  
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct  
Change u functions do not work.  
Connecting a Recording Component  
See “Recording” for details on recording (page 39).  
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,  
connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the  
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals  
supplied with your TV and VCR for details.  
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be  
recorded only via composite video outputs. For example, 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 Discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

Connecting the Antennas  
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.  
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use  
the tuner.  
Caution  
• Be careful not to injure yourself when using  
thumbtacks.  
Insert the plug fully  
into the jack.  
Push.  
Insert wire.  
Release.

Thumbtacks, etc.  
AM loop antenna (supplied)  
Indoor FM antenna (supplied)  
Note  
• Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible  
reception.  
• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.  
Tip  
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.  
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor  
AM antenna.  
Connecting the Power Cord  
Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.  
Note  
1
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your  
speakers and AV components.

Using Basic Functions  
The distances from position a to b and a to c must be  
at least 1 meter.  
Using the Automatic Speaker Setup  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,  
®
Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of  
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass  
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the  
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary  
listening position.  
TV  
Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by  
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems  
over the listening area in both the frequency and time  
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for  
everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with

• 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 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the  
Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full  
Calibration”.  
• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker  
as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup run.  
• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be  
performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from  
one position to perform the speaker setting only.  
• “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the  
measurement from three positions to correct room  
response in addition to the speaker setting.  
The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes  
about 10 minutes.  
Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.  
On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver  
is connected.

MIC jack.  
Measurement procedure  
SETUP MIC jack  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes  
measurements at up to three positions within the listening  
area. 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  
a First measurement position  
The speaker setting menu appears.  
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 2EQ uses the measurements from this  
position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity,  
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.  
Note  
• 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.

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. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works well by itself.  
However, if Audyssey 2EQ is on, the two technologies  
work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for  
every listener at any volume level.  
`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  
®
automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ 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.  
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

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 circuit has been activated. Remove  
the power cord from the wall outlet immediately.  
Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and  
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 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  
8ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display  
and the AV receiver will enter standby mode.  
Audio  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet  
Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly.

settings, and be sure to select a supported audio  
format.  
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.  
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.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.

The speaker volume cannot be set as required  
Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.  
If the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted to high positive values, then the  
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.  
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are  
set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ® Room  
Correction and Speaker Setup has been performed.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
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.  
Noise can be heard  
Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and the like may degrade the  
audio performance, so refrain from doing it.  
Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

About DTS signals  
The front high and surround back speakers  
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.  
produce no sound  
Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 33  
may be produced by the front high and surround  
back speakers. Select another listening mode.  
Depending on the sources, the sound produced by  
the front high and surround back speakers may be  
weak.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
While the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”, 57  
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-  
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 a source material that contains no  
information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer  
produces no sound.  
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.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
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.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an  
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio  
signals, audio output may not start immediately.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 3336  
cannot be selected.  
Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode  
The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2 is on.

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

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 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.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video Signal Flow Chart  
Video component can be connected by using any one of the  
following video connection formats: composite video,  
Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc.  
component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture  
quality.  
Composite  
Component  
HDMI  
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,  
with composite video and component video sources all being  
upconverted for the HDMI output.  
The composite video and component video outputs carry  
their respective input signals as they are.  
When you connect an audio component to an HDMI or  
COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input  
selector (page 41).

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.

• 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.
