Speaker Connection Precautions  
The following table indicates the channels you should use  
depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
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 31) or manually (page 46).  
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 46). 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.

Using 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 (A) should be positioned so that their arrows  
point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (B) should be  
positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

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.

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 58), and  
– “Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 59).  
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 58) for an p-compatible TV.  
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 59) 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 18).  
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 59) 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 58) 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.

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.

To select the multichannel input, select the BD/DVD input selector and see “Audio Selector” (page 55). To adjust the  
subwoofer sensitivity for the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (page 46).  
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. To have the signals output from PC IN, select “- - - - -” for  
PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting (page 45).  
• With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen the audio in Zone 2 as well, use C and  
F.)  
• With connection F, you can listen to and record audio from external components while you are in Zone 2.  
• With connection F, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to  
connect to the main stereo.

component as the input source.  
Note  
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied  
with Onkyo components.  
• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either  
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting  
additional u-capable components.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to  
control your other u-capable Onkyo components,  
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  
(page 70).  
• 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 42).  
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.

Measurement procedure  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT 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.

Note  
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 XT uses the measurements from  
this position to calculate speaker distance, level,  
polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the  
subwoofer.  
• 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.

left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much  
reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with  
little or no natural reverb.

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.

HDMI Input  
Note  
• 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” (page 46). In this case, if you want to use the  
coaxial or optical audio input, make the appropriate selection in  
the “Audio Selector” setting (page 55).  
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 “HDMI2” 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

selecting the “- - - - -” option. See “Video Connection  
Formats” for more information on video signal flow and  
upconversion (page 83).  
• “AUX” is used only for input from the front panel.  
• Do not assign an HDMI IN to the TV/CD selector while “HDMI  
Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (page 58), otherwise

THX Audio Setup  
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.

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 Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel  
surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this  
setting, you can specify by how much the front left and  
right channel output is attenuated in order to create the  
center channel.  
Changing the value from “0” to “5” will spread the sound  
of the center channel to left and right (outwards).

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of  
A/V Sync  
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  
`0msec to 800msec in 5 msec steps.  
When using progressive scanning on your Blu-ray  
Disc/DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound  
are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by  
delaying the audio signals.  
To view the TV picture while setting the delay, press  
ENTER.  
prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction  
solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works well by itself.  
The range of values you can adjust will depend on  
whether your TV or display supports HDMI Lip Sync and  
if the “Lip Sync” setting is set to “On” or not  
(page 59).

However, if Audyssey MultEQ XT is on, the two  
technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced  
sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume  
• A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio listening mode is  
selected, or when the Direct listening mode is used with an  
analog input source.  
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

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s  
network settings manually.  
Network Control  
`Enable  
`Disable  
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.  
This setting enables or disables control over the network.  
Note  
• When set to “Enable”, the NET indicator is dimly-lit and the  
power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.  
Control Port  
`49152” to “65535”  
This is the network port used for control over the network.  
What’s DHCP?  
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?  
Note  
• When the “Network Control” setting is set to “Disable”, this  
setting is cannot be selected.  
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.

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  
(page 70).  
This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote  
control code (page 69) 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.  
REMOTE  
MODE  
• 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.  
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  
hold the button whose command you want to  
acquire until the REMOTE MODE button flashes.  
If the command is learned successfully, the  
REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

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.

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  
Depending on the sound source, the sound produced  
by the front high, front wide and surround back  
speakers may be weak.  
immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which  
case you should stop your player for about three  
seconds, and then resume playback.

47  
While the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”, 63  
playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-  
channels and the front high, front wide 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.

configured properly.  
• Make sure the router is turned on.  
• Make sure the AV receiver and the router are  
connected with an Ethernet cable.  
Update procedure  
Connect a USB device to your PC. If there is any  
data in the USB device, remove it first.  
• Make sure your router is configured properly.  
See the instruction manual of the router.  
• If your network allows only one client  
connection and there is any other device  
already connected, the AV receiver will not  
be able to access the network. Consult your  
Internet Service Provider (ISP).  
• If your modem does not function as a router,  
you will need a router. Depending on your  
network, you may need to configure the  
proxy server if necessary. See the document  
provided by your ISP. If you are still unable  
to access the Internet, the DNS or proxy  
server may be temporarily down. Contact

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.  
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).

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,  
see “Network” (page 60).  
• 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  
(page 60).

If the operating system of your computer is Windows  
Vista, Windows Media Player 11 is already installed.  
Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP can be  
downloaded for free from the Microsoft web site.  
• The computer or media server must be on the same  
network as the AV receiver.  
Note  
• If the media you connect is not supported, the message “No  
Storage” will appear on the display.  
• 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.  
• Each folder may contain up to 20000 music files, and  
folders may be nested up to 16 levels deep.  
Note  
• Depending on the media server, the AV receiver may not  
recognize it, or may not be able to play its music files.  
• 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
