For U.S. models  
FCC Information for User  
CAUTION:  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
The user changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
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.

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).  
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.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-  
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-  
cian for help.  
For North American model  
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If  
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

Speaker Precautions  
Placement  
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is  
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and  
humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct  
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-  
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.  
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.  
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units  
may be damaged.  
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces  
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or  
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-  
age, will affect the sound quality.  
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-  
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or  
tilted position.  
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD/  
BD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur.  
To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,  
CD player or DVD/BD player, otherwise lower the  
unit’s output level.  
Using Close to a TV or Computer  
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive  
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or  
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed  
nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-370 and SKC-370/  
SKC-370C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some  
situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue,  
in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor,  
wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again.  
This normally activates the degaussing function, which  
neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any  
discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist,  
try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor.  
Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet  
or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or  
monitor.  
Do not place SKR-370 close to TV or a computer  
monitor because they have no magnetic shield.  
Input Signal Warning  
The speakers can handle the specified input power when  
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the  
following signals are fed to them, even if the input power  
is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow  
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:  
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.  
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.  
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,  
electronic musical instrument, and so on.  
4. Amplifier oscillation.  
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.  
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-  
necting audio cables (Always turn off your ampli-  
fier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)  
7. Microphone feedback.

the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote  
controller may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,  
such as a book or magazine, because a button may be  
pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
Replace the cover and push it shut.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an  
obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote  
control sensor.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as  
possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Center speaker (SKC-370/SKC-370C)  
Front left and right speakers  
(SKF-370 L/R)  
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers,  
making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound  
image. For 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 left and right speakers.  
These output the overall sound.  
Their role in a home theater is to  
provide a solid anchor for the sound  
image. They should be positioned  
facing the listener at about ear  
level, and equally spaced from the  
TV. Angle them inward.

While speaker set B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.  
Subwoofer (SKW-370)  
HTP-370 speaker  
package is shown  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the  
LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. In general,  
a good bass sound can be obtained by installing  
the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third  
the way along the wall, as shown.  
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.

These speakers are used for precise sound  
positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position  
them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,  
about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally  
they should be equally spaced from the listener.

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are  
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)  
speaker terminals are all black.)  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
You can connect speakers with an impedance of  
6 ohms or higher. 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.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect  
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,  
and negative (–) terminals to only 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.

Caution:  
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends  
on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow  
walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are  
no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.  
Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less  
and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow  
walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power  
cables or water pipes before making any holes.

Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from  
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,  
etc.  
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed  
horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be  
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a  
window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left  
connected.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock  
hazards.  
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If  
circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter,  
as shown.

AV Connection Color Coding  
About AV Connections  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-  
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).  
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and  
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals  
supplied with your other AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
and double-checked all AV connections.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
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, DVD/BD 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, or multichannel PCM).  
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, 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 receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will  
display a picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:  
Pass-Thru  
About Copyright Protection  
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital  
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.  
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT  
to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.  
*2 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.  
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led 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.

Making HDMI Connections  
If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable.  
Step 1: Connect your HDMI-compatible TV to the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack.  
Step 2: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to the AV receiver’s HDMI IN 1, 2, or 3 jack.  
Step 3: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to an analog and/or digital audio input on the AV  
receiver.  
Audio Signals  
• Audio and video signals received via inputs other than the HDMI IN jacks are not output by the HDMI OUT.  
• Audio and video signals received via the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT.  
• To watch an HDMI source that’s connected via the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks, the AV receiver must be turned  
on, otherwise no HDMI signal will be output.  
• If you want to listen through the speakers connected to the AV receiver, in addition to an HDMI connection,  
you’ll also need to make a separate analog or digital audio connection.

Notes:  
• 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.  
• 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).  
• 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.

Connecting the AV receiver—Continued  
Connecting Onkyo uComponents  
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).  
Step 2: Make the necessary uconnections (see illustration below).  
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 37).  
With u(Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:  
Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically  
turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all  
components connected via uwill also go on Standby.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that component  
as the input source.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Onkyo components. You must  
enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 61). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV  
receiver and not the other component.  
Notes:  
IN  
• Use only ucables for uconnections. ucables  
L
are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

Recording  
This section explains how to record the input source and  
how to record audio and video from separate sources.  
Recording from Different AV Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
simultaneously recording audio and video from two  
separate sources. This is possible because only the audio  
source is switched when an audio-only input source,  
such as TV/TAPE or CD, is selected, the video source  
remains the same.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player  
connected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder  
connected to the DVD/BD IN V jack are recorded by the  
VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected 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.  
Recording the Input Source  
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g.,  
cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE  
OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video  
recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR  
OUT jacks. See pages 21 to 34 for hookup information.  
Camcorder

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
DVD, VHS).  
• Neo:6 Music  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
Direct  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-  
fidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels  
are output as they are.  
Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a  
large hall.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
Mono  
Unplugged  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful  
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
• Dolby Pro Logic II Movie  
TV Logic  
Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the  
Dolby Surround logo or TV shows that feature  
Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with  
stereo movies or TV shows and the AV receiver will  
create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows  
produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
Game-RPG  
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.  
• Dolby Pro Logic II Music  
Game-Action  
Use this mode when playing action game discs.  
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources  
such as music CDs and DVDs.  
Game-Rock  
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.  
• Dolby Pro Logic II Game  
Use this mode when playing game discs.  
Game-Sports  
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.  
Dolby Digital  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire  
listening area with stereo sound from the front and  
surround speakers.  
Full Mono  
DTS  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to  
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-  
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that  
bear the DTS logo.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround  
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works  
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s 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.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is  
high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-  
bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.  
DTS Neo:6  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 5.1-  
channel playback. It uses five full-bandwidth channels of  
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing  
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience  
that fully envelops the listener.

Dimension  
–3 to +3 (default: 0)  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music  
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve  
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move  
it backward.  
Center Width  
0 to 7 (default: 3)  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic  
II Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only  
the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front  
left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.  
Center Image  
0 to 5 (default: 2)  
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.  
Setting a value [0] in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the  
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Audyssey Settings  
Audyssey EQ™ is based on the same core technology as Audyssey MultEQ® that is used for automatic correction  
of room acoustics. Audyssey EQ uses time-domain filters to correct problems that arise from speaker drivers and  
enclosures and is calibrated to account for the acoustical problems in a typical listening environment. The  
Audyssey EQ filters in the HT-R370 are specifically optimized for the Onkyo HTP-370 Speaker Package and  
should not be used with other speakers.  
Dynamic EQ  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ off (default).  
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.  
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into  
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and  
surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume  
level--not just at reference level.  
Notes:  
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ allows you to maintain the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level in  
accordance with the preset speakers.  
• In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey EQ is automatically deactivated during a recording. After  
the recording is finished, Audyssey EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ will resume as previously set.  
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the “6. Equalizer” on page 54 are set to “Audyssey”.  
• In “Off”, “Dyn Vol” becomes “Off”.  
Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.  
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.  
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.  
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most,  
causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.  
Notes:  
• Other than “Off”, “Dynamic EQ” becomes “On”, and “6. Equalizer” (page 54) setting becomes “Audyssey”.  
• “Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if  
“Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.  
If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “On”, Audyssey Dynamic Volume becomes available.  
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 moment-  
by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response and tonal balance that remains  
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 in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener  
at any volume level.  
About Audyssey Dynamic Volume  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television  
programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the  
preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived  
by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume  
makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while  
optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the  
playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression,  
and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing  
from stereo to surround sound content.

to disturb anyone.  
Notes:  
• The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital.  
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original  
sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.  
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Controlling an RI Dock  
By pressing the REMOTE MODE button that’s been  
programmed with the remote control code for your RI  
Dock, you can control your iPod in the RI Dock with the  
following buttons.  
a ON/STANDBY button  
Turns the iPod on or off.  
Notes:  
• This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or  
DS-A2X RI Dock on or off.  
The [DOCK] button is preprogrammed with the remote  
control code for controlling an RI Dock when used with  
an u connection.  
Your iPod may not respond the first time you  
press this button, in which case you should press  
it again. This is because the remote controller  
transmits the On and Standby commands  
alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will  
remain on when the remote controller transmits  
an On command. Similarly, if your iPod is  
already off, it will remain off when the remote  
controller transmits an Off command.  
For some RI docks, the “ON/STANDBY” button may  
not work with a remote control code 82990 (without RI).  
In this case, make an RI connection and enter a remote  
control code 81993 (with RI).  
For details on entering a remote control code, see  
page 60.  
When Using an RI Dock:  
• Connect the RI Dock to the TV/TAPE IN, CBL/SAT

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.  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
• Check the volume (page 38). The AV receiver is  
designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide  
volume range for precise adjustment.  
• If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display,  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the AV receiver (page 39).  
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting  
the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo  
dealer.  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 40).  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults,  
turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR]  
button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear”  
will appear on the display and the AV receiver will  
enter Standby mode.  
• Check the digital audio output settings on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-  
in, you must connect one between it and the AV  
receiver.  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must  
connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and  
a phono preamp.  
• Check the speaker settings (pages 52–54).  
• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it  
to “Auto” (page 41).  
Power  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall  
outlet properly.  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5  
seconds or more, then plug it back in again.  
Only the front speakers produce sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.  
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 52).  
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned  
on  
• The amp 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.  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music listening mode with a mono source,  
such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the  
sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.  
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 52).  
The center speaker produces no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound (page 51).  
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 52).  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the surround speakers produce no sound.  
• Depending on the source and the current listening  
mode, not much sound may be produced by the  
surround speakers. Try another listening mode  
(page 47).  
Audio  
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet  
• Press the SPEAKERS [A] or [B] button to turn on the  
indicator for the speakers that you want to output  
sound.  
• HDMI audio is passed through the AV receiver and  
can only be heard from your TV.  
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 52).  
• To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an  
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, make sure that input is  
assigned to an input selector (page 36).  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker  
set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 21).  
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the  
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 16).  
• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE  
channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.  
• Check the “3. Sp Config” (page 52).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
• On the AV receiver, the subwoofer setting in the “3. Sp  
Config” is set to “No”. Set the subwoofer setting to  
Yes”.  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 21).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly  
connected.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.  
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so  
if a video source component is connected to a  
component video input, your TV must be connected to  
the component video output (page 22).  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT  
(page 22).  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the [AUDIO] button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
Can’t get 5.1-channel playback  
• When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced  
to 2.1-channel playback.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• After the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted (page 54), the maximum volume may  
be reduced.  
• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted  
(page 54), the maximum possible volume may be  
reduced.  
There’s no picture from a source connected to  
an HDMI IN  
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is  
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC  
are not supported (page 24).  
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV  
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not  
support the current video resolution and you need to  
select another resolution on your DVD/BD player.  
Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio  
performance, so don’t use them.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
Tuner  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 58).  
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers  
from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t  
light up  
• Relocate your antenna.  
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or  
computer.  
• Listen to the station in mono (page 43).  
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote  
controller may cause noise.  
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.  
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.  
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor  
antenna.  
About DTS signals  
• 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.  
• 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, as the AV  
receiver does not switch formats immediately, you  
may not hear anything, in which case you should stop  
your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume  
playback.  
• With some CD 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.  
Remote Controller  
The remote controller doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the  
correct polarity (page 14).  
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of  
batteries, or old and new batteries (page 14).  
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far  
away from the AV receiver and there’s no obstruction  
between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s  
remote control sensor (page 14).  
• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to  
direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights.  
Relocate if necessary.

properly, you must set the Input Display to “MD”,  
“CDR”, or “DOCK”, respectively (page 37).  
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If  
more than one code is listed, try each one.  
The ufunctions don’t work  
• To use u, you must make an uconnection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the  
component and AV receiver, even if they are  
connected digitally (page 34).  
The following settings can be made for the  
composite video inputs  
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these  
settings.  
1. While holding down the input selector button for the  
input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]  
button.  
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not  
work as expected, and some may not work at all.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via  
u, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be  
sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(page 61).  
2. Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change  
the setting.  
3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.  
• Video Attenuation  
This setting can be made for the DVD/BD,  
VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.  
If you have a games console connected to the  
composite video input, and the picture isn’t very  
clear, you can attenuate the gain.  
Recording  
Can’t record  
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is  
selected.  
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV  
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs  
with the same name (e.g., TV/TAPE IN to TV/TAPE  
OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).  
Video ATT:0: (default).  
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal  
processing and control functions. In very rare situations,  
severe interference, noise from an external source, or  
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely  
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back  
in again.  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded  
correctly.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
