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.

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.

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.

– 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 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.

• 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback
The AV receiver can upconvert component video and
composite video sources for display on a TV connected to
the HDMI OUT. 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 OUT.
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 select “Component Video Input”

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

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.

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.
