Precautions

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

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without

the permission of the copyright holder.

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

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

Onkyo dealer.

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

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

dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and

About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV controller’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your

own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and

Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP lis-

tening modes.

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

a b Front speakers (Left and Right)

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

vide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned

facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV.

Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the

apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements

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

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

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

d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)

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

istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly

behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they

should be equidistant from the listener.

Subwoofer(s)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency

Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your

subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening

room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be

obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third

the width of the wall, as shown.

de gh

g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)

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

Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the

realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the

listener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to

100 cm) above ear level.

Corner

position

i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)

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

Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.

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

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

speakers.

1/3 of wall

position

Tip

• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while

playing a movie or some music with good bass,

experiment by placing your subwoofer at various

positions within the room, and choose the one that

provides the most satisfying results.

k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)

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

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

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

about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker settings

such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 9.2-channel surround-sound playback, you need 9 speakers and 2 powered subwoofers.

Number of speakers

Front speakers

✔

Center speaker

Surround speakers

✔

Surround back speaker

Surround back speakers

Front high speakers

✔

Front wide speakers

✔

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L output.

If you use the front high and wide speakers at the same time, you need to set the “Front High + Front Wide” setting to “Yes”

(➔ 48).

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. You can do this automatically

(➔ 29) or manually (➔ 48).

Connecting a Power Amplifier with RCA Inputs

You can connect the AV controller to a multichannel power amplifier with RCA input jacks by using a multichannel RCA

audio cable or several stereo RCA audio cables.

See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

Using Dipole Speakers

Normal speakers

Dipole speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround

back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two

directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to

indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole

speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point

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

ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward

each other, as shown.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respec-

tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, pro-

viding improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 7.2 speakers in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R

outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the

“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 48).

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 only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

tion to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the

optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

^{■ Second}−Eighth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places

where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up

to 8 positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater

seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches

yours, and position the microphone accordingly when

prompted.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record

audio and video from different sources.

Connecting a Recording Component

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording,

that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely

separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your

video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact

that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD, PHONO,

etc.) is selected, the video input source remains

unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder

connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded

by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

AUDIO

VIDEO

Cassette, CDR, MD,

etc.

VCR, DVD recorder

Camcorder

Note

• The AV controller 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 controller,

connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied with your TV and VCR for details.

• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be

recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is

connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must

be connected to a composite video output.

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be

recorded.

• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only

analog inputs can be recorded.

• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog

recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

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

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

want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two

speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth sub-

woofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two

additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth

channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel

sources.

■ Speaker Layout

The illustration shows which speakers are activated in each channel. See “Speaker Configuration” for the speaker setup

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 per-

ceptual 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.

Component Video Input

Note

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

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

set to other than “Analog” (➔ 44), and the “HDMI Input” set-

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

for more information on video signal flow and upconversion

(➔ 23).

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

HDMI input is assigned), the AV controller 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” (➔ 47). In this case, if you want to use the coaxial

or optical audio input, make the selection in the “Audio Selec-

tor” in the Home menu (➔ 64).

If you connect a video component to a component video

input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For

example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, you must assign “IN 2” to

the “BD/DVD” input selector.

If you’ve connected your TV to the AV controller with a

component video cable, you can set the AV controller so

that composite video and S-Video sources are upcon-

verted and output by the COMPONENT VIDEO MONI-

TOR OUT . You can set this for each input selector by

selecting the “- - - - -” option.

Digital Audio Input

Analog Audio Input

If you connect a component to the AV controller’s analog

multichannel input, you must assign that input to an input

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.

If you connect a component to a digital audio input, you

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

you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN 1, you

must assign “OPT 1” to the “TV/CD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

If you connect a component to the AV controller’s bal-

anced input, you must assign that input to an input selec-

tor. For example, if you connect your CD player to the

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology

featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™

Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home

theater audiences can now experience the rich details in

a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of

turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-

tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently

by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the

tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is

reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround

channel levels and frequency response. This enables

users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard-

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

matically applied when listening in any THX listening

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

Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX

Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

Note

• If the “Center” setting is set to “None” (➔ 48), this setting is

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 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. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you

to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the

proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking

into account human perception and room acoustics.

Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and

surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-

selected volume setting. The result is bass response,

tonal balance, and surround impression that remain con-

stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines

information from incoming source levels with actual

output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-

ering a loudness correction solution.

brated by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 will play at refer-

ence 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 ref-

erence response and surround envelopment when the

volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-

ence level is not always used in music or other non-film

content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

provides three offsets from the film level reference

(5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the

mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 to provide well-balanced

sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Note

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large

variations in volume level between television programs,

commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of

movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume

setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of

program material is being perceived by listeners in real

time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. When-

ever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary

rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired

playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic

range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into

Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is

adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response,

tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity

remain the same whether watching movies, flipping

between television channels, or changing from stereo to

surround sound content.

• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be

selected.

Note

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

setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correc-

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

will change the “Equalizer” setting to “Audyssey” (➔ 50).

• If you would like to use Audyssey Dynamic Volume, when

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

“Off” (➔ 50) and set “Preserve THX Settings” setting to “No”

(➔ 51).

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

About NET

Connecting the AV Controller

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

hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet

cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or

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

you can also enjoy Internet radio.

To connect the AV controller to your home network, plug

one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV

controller’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into

a LAN port on your router or switch.

The following diagram shows how you can connect the

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

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

100Base-TX switch built-in.

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

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

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

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

back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-

mended.

■ Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supplying

IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

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

eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-

neously via a single Internet connection. The AV

controller needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP

supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them

to configure themselves automatically.

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

mended.

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

require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP

or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Internet radio

Modem

WAN port

Router

LAN port

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable

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

nect the AV controller to your home network.

LAN/Ethernet port

■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must

have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection

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

results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-

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

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

Computer or media server

Note

• To receive Internet radio with the A V c ontroller, 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 controller uses DHCP to configure its network settings

automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,

see “Network Settings” (➔ 71).

• The AV controller 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 controller (➔ 71).

Listening to Internet Radio

Note

• When the NETWORK indicator flashes, confirm that the

Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the AV controller.

• Services available may vary depending on the region. See

the separate instructions for more information.

To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV con-

troller to a network with Internet access (➔ 65).

You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the

AV controller from your computer and selecting stations

in your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio sta-

tions.

tions.

Use q/w to select “vTuner Internet Radio”, and

then press ENTER.

Use q/w to select a program, and then press

Note

All Stations

• If you’re using a narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K

When several components are turned on simultaneously

by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of

components, a large amount of current may be drawn

delay is eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes

heard when a source component is turned on.

Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so

that it’s the last component to be turned on will accom-

plish this.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV controller, look for a

solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your-

self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Audio

■ There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet

Make sure that your multichannel power amplifier is 12

turned on and set up correctly and connected to the

AV controller properly.

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the

AV controller before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV controller to its factory defaults, turn

it on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press

ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display

and the AV controller will enter Standby mode.

Make sure that the digital input source is selected

properly.

Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed 18

in all the way.

Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- 19-21

nents are connected properly.

Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 26

Check the volume. The AV controller is designed for

home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,

allowing precise adjustment.

—

Note that resetting the AV controller will delete your

radio presets and custom settings.

If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, 27

press the remote controller’s MUTING to unmute

the AV controller.

While a pair of headphones is connected to the

PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers.

If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to

an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output set-

tings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.

—

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

RECEIVER

HOME

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must

connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.

Make sure that none of the connecting cables are

bent, twisted, or damaged.

To reset the remote controller to its factory defaults,

while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down

HOME until RECEIVER button lights (about 3 sec-

onds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER again.

Not all listening modes use all speakers.

Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individ- 49

ual speaker levels.

Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not

still connected.

—

Power

The input signal format is set to “PCM” or “DTS”. 64

Set it to “Auto”.

■ Can’t turn on the AV controller

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged

into the wall outlet.

—

■ Only the front speakers produce sound

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce

sound.

—

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five

seconds or more, then plug it in again.

In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 51

output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set

to “Left / Right”.

■ The STANDBY indicator flashes red

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 controller with its power cord discon-

nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power

cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV con-

troller stays on, set the volume to minimum, discon-

nect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers

and input sources. If the AV controller turns off

when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect

the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

—

Check the Speaker Configuration.

■ Only the center speaker produces sound

You can not always select all of the listening modes, 37–42

depending on the number of the speakers connected.

If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro

Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game lis-

tening mode with a mono source, such as an AM

radio station or mono TV program, the sound is con-

centrated in the center speaker.

—

■ The speaker volume cannot be set as required

(The volume cannot be set to Max(100.0))

Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.

In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 51

output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set

to “Center”.

If the volume level of each individual speaker has

been adjusted to high positive values, then the maxi-

mum master volume possible may be reduced. Note

that the individual speaker volume levels are set

automatically after Audyssey MultEQ^®XT32 Room

Correction and Speaker Setup function has been

completed.

29, 49

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

Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

—

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

■ The center speaker produces no sound

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound.

—

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

In the Mono listening mode, only the front speakers 51

output sound if the “Output Speaker” setting is set

to “Left / Right”.

■ The analog multichannel input doesn’t work

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

Check the multichannel input connections.

—

Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to 47

the input selector.

■ The front high, front wide and surround back

speakers produce no sound

Make sure that the multichannel input is selected.

Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 37

may be produced by the front high, front wide and

surround back speakers. Select another listening

mode.

Check the audio output settings on your source com- —

ponent.

■ About DTS signals

Not much sound may be produced by the front high,

front wide and surround back speakers with some

sources.

—

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-

stream stops, the AV controller remains in DTS lis-

tening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This

is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for-

ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you

switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the

AV controller does not switch formats immediately,

you may not hear any sound, in which case you

should stop your player for about three seconds, and

then resume playback.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The subwoofer produces no sound

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

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 con-

troller. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV control-

ler doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In

such cases, you may hear noise.

—

■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

a malfunction.

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 37–42

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital

interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video compo-

nents. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a

single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichan-

nel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) , so TVs and displays with

a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,

resulting in no picture.)

The AV controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components

can display the picture.

The AV controller’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution

Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD

Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

The AV controller supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV controller via HDMI must also support HDCP.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s

designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this

open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance

PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by

using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for

audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or

there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for

details.

Note

If an error occurs, “Error!! *-** No media” is displayed

on the front display of the AV controller. (Alpha-numeric

characters on the front display are denoted by asterisks.)

erly.

Before you start

• Make sure the router is turned on.

• Make sure the AV controller and the router

are connected with Ethernet cable.

• Make sure the setup configuration of the

router is set properly. See the instruction

manual of the router.

• If your network allows only one client con-

nection and there is any other device already

connected, the AV controller cannot access

the network. Consult your Internet Service

Provider (ISP).

• Check “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting (➔ 61). The

update may not be successful if this setting is on.

• Turn off the controller device connected via RS232C and

via Ethernet network.

• Turn off Zone 2 and Zone 3.

• Stop playback of content from Internet radio, iPod, USB

or servers, etc.

■ How to turn off RIHD

• 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 needed. See the document

provided by your ISP. If you still cannot

access the Internet, DNS or proxy server may

be temporarily down. Contact your ISP.

In the Main menu select “Hardware Setup”.

Select “HDMI”.
