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 deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards  
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-  
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-  
tering.  
NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-  
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:

WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION 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 120 V, 60 Hz).  
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY  
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.  
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
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 tech-  
nician for help.

handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo  
dealer.

6. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.  
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm  
after prolonged use. This is normal.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.

Memory Backup  
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup  
system in order to retain radio presets and other settings  
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.  
Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver  
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the  
backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV  
receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,  
although this depends on the environment and will be  
shorter in humid climates.

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler 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.  
Slide the cover shut.

cle 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 possi-  
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

ConnectingYour Speakers  
About Speakers  
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.  
Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room, and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS sources.  
To get the best surround sound experience, each speaker must be positioned at a specific location within the room, as  
shown in the following illustration. Note that while speaker set B is on, speaker setA is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.  
Speaker set B can be installed in another room and positioned like normal stereo speakers or however you like. Speaker  
set B only outputs sources that are connected to an analog input.  
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 slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.  
Surround back left and right

level, or at the same height as the  
front left and right speakers.  
Subwoofer  
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 posi-  
tion, the shape of your listening room, and  
your listening position. In  
general, a good bass sound  
can be obtained by install-  
ing the subwoofer in a front  
corner, or at one-third the  
way along the wall, as  
shown.  
Surround left and right speakers  
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.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con-  
nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table shows which channels you should  
use based on the number of speakers that you have.  
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 lev-  
els for a long period of time, the built-in amp-protec-  
tion circuit may be activated.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
Center  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive  
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-  
tive (–) 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.  
*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to  
the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.  
• Be careful not to short the  
positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-  
woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid  
bass.  
Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which  
speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 32).  
To get the very best from your surround-sound system,  
you should also specify the distance between the listener  
and each speaker so that the sound from each speaker  
arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see  
page 52). In addition, you should set the volume level of  
each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at  
the listening position (see page 52.)  
• Don’t connect more than one  
cable to each speaker termi-  
nal. Doing so may damage the  
AV receiver.  
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.  
Attaching the Speaker Labels  
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are  
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)  
speaker terminals are all black.)

Connecting Antenna  
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor  
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect  
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.  
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without  
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna  
to use the tuner.  
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna  
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use  
only.  
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting  
the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna  
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so  
they can be connected either way around).  
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and  
that the push terminals are gripping the bare  
wires, not the insulation.  
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.  
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.  
1
Insert the plug fully  
into the jack.  
Push  
Insert wire  
Release  
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll  
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust  
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best  
possible reception.  
Use thumbtacks or something similar to  
fix the FM antenna into position.  
2
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll  
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust  
the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best  
possible reception.  
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from  
your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power  
cords.  
Thumbtacks, etc.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-  
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 19).  
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself  
when using thumbtacks.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-  
door FM antenna instead (see page 19).

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied  
AM loop antenna, an outdoorAM antenna can be used in  
addition to the loop antenna, as shown.  
Outdoor antenna  
Insulated antenna cable  
AM loop antenna  
Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
OutdoorAM antennas work best when installed horizon-  
tally 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 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 possi-  
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
• 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 haz-  
ards.  
■ 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 cir-  
cumstances 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-chan-  
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use  
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-  
puts (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.

Which Connections Should I Use?  
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 other components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.  
Video Connection Formats  
Audio Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver  
using one of the following video connection formats:  
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the lat-  
ter offering the best picture quality.  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that  
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only  
outputs of the same format as the input will output the  
signal.  
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the  
S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the  
S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the  
S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not by  
any composite video or component video outputs.  
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver  
using the following audio connection formats: analog,  
optical, coaxial, and multichannel.  
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that  
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.  
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog  
TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example,  
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital  
input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

Connecting Another Component’s Power Cord  
The AV receiver has an AC outlet on its rear panel for  
connecting the power cord of another AV component.  
The other component’s power switch can then be left in  
the ON position so that it turns on or off when the AV  
receiver is set to On or Standby.  
Caution:  
• Make sure that the capacity of the component that  
you connect to the AC OUTLET does not exceed  
the stated capacity (e.g., 120 W).  
Note:  
• Onkyo components connected via  
should be  
connected directly to a wall outlet, not the AV  
receiver’s AC OUTLET.

Connecting  
-capable Onkyo Components  
Step 1: Make sure that the Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).  
Step 2: Make the connection.  
With  
(Remote Interactive) you can use the following special  
functions:  
Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected via  
, 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 will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components whose power cord is connected  
to the AV receiver’s AC OUTLET.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected via  
, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as  
the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to press  
the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (page 35), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT jacks.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other  
-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 55).  
Notes:

Connecting the Power Cord  
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.  
• Connect the AV receiver’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.  
• Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical  
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.

Dolby Digital  
About the Listening Modes  
With Dolby Digital, you can experience  
the same thrilling sound that you get at a  
movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs  
that bear the Dolby Digital logo.  
With its surround-sound decoders and DSP modes, the  
AV receiver can transform your home listening room  
into a movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which  
speakers are active in each listening mode.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX includes a surround-  
back channel, for 6.1 surround. It offers a  
Front left  
Center  
Front right  
heightened sense of space, and added real-  
ism with moving sounds, especially those that move  
360 degrees or fly overhead. Dolby Digital EX can also  
be enjoyed on a 5.1 system, in which case the surround-  
back channel sound is split between the surround left and  
surround right speakers. Use this mode with DVDs that  
feature 5.1 and bear the Dolby Digital logo.  
Subwoofer  
Surround Surround Surround

back left/

Direct  
DTS  
In this mode, the input source is output as it is, with min-  
imal processing for a faithful sound. The bass and treble  
functions are bypassed.  
This format offers a surround sound experi-  
ence with exceptional fidelity. It offers six  
discrete channels for 5.1 surround, and uses  
less compression for a truly faithful sound.  
You’ll need a DTS-capable DVD player to enjoy DTS  
material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear  
the DTS logo.  
Stereo  
In this mode, the input source is output by the front left  
and right speakers and subwoofer.  
Mono  
DTS 96/24  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or to select the foreign language soundtracks  
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.  
It can also be used with DVDs or other sources contain-  
ing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.  
This mode offers very high audio quality.  
Use it with CDs and DVDs that bear the  
DTS 96/24 logo.  
DTS-ES Discrete  
This is DTS with an added surround back  
channel for 6.1 surround. With the addi-  
tional surround back channel, it offers seven independent  
digital channels, providing a real sense of movement and  
space. Use it with CDs and DVDs that feature DTS 6.1  
and bear the DTS-ES logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie  
Use this mode with DVDs and vid-  
eos that bear the Dolby Surround  
logo, or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround.You can  
also use it to create 5.1 surround from stereo movies and  
TV shows.  
DTS-ES Matrix  
Dolby Pro Logic II Music  
This is DTS with a surround back channel  
for 6.1 surround. Use it to create 6.1 sur-  
round from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1 material  
already contains surround back channel information, the  
back channel can be reconstructed for real 6.1 surround.  
Use this mode with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES.  
Use this mode to create 5.1 surround from stereo music  
sources, such as CDs and DVDs.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV  
receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx can create 7.1 surround  
from stereo music or 5.1 movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
offers a well defined, natural multichannel surround-  
sound experience, putting the listener in a seamless enve-  
lope of sound. The added drama and natural sound  
enhances the listening experience with music, movies,  
and games.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation:Movie  
mode for watching movies, Music mode for listening to  
music, and Game mode for playing games on a games  
console with stereo outputs.  
Neo:6  
This mode creates 6.1 surround from stereo sources. It  
offers six full-bandwidth channels and excellent separa-  
tion. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode  
for watching movies, and Music mode for listening to  
music.  
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement  
that you get with 6.1 surround. Use it with videos,  
DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.  
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a  
natural sound field, something that cannot be done with  
conventional stereo. Use it with stereo sources and music  
CDs.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
Mono Movie  
Suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The  
center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is  
applied to the sound output by the other speakers, pro-  
viding presence.  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround  
channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo  
image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation  
of a large hall.  
Unplugged  
Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz  
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-  
lates the experience of being right in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock and 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.  
TV Logic  
Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV  
studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire  
sound and adds clarity to voices.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and  
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills  
the entire listening area.  
Full Mono  
All speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the  
same regardless of where you are.

Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally,  
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  
adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you  
to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting  
■ 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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default  
value is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround  
speakers are connected.  
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the  
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when  
the listening position is considerably off center. When  
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-  
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.  
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.  
Input Channel Settings  
■ Multiplex  
This setting determines which channel is output from a  
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels  
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV  
broadcasts, and so on.  
Main: The main channel is output (default).  
Sub: The sub channel is output.  
M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.  
■ Mono (2ch)  
This setting determines which channel is output when  
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.  
L+R: Both the left and right channels are output  
(default).  
Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting  
■ Dolby D EX  
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals  
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround  
back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital  
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode  
is used (default).  
L: Only the left channel is output.  
R: Only the right channel is output.  
PL II & PL IIx Music Mode Settings  
These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.  
Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro  
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby  
Digital EX.  
■ Panorama  
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front  
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode.  
On: Panorama function on.  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
■ Dimension  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward  
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro  
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.

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.  
Recording from Different Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
recording from different audio and video sources. This is  
possible because only the audio source is changed when  
an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or  
CD is selected. The video source is unchanged. For  
example, if you select the VIDEO 3 input source, fol-  
lowed by the CD input source, you can watch video from  
the VIDEO 3 input and listen to audio from the CD  
input.  
Recording the Input Source  
You can only record to a component that is connected to  
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.  
See pages 20–29 for information on connecting yourAV  
components.  
Use the input selector buttons to  
select the component that you  
want to record.  
Audio signals from the selected input  
source are output by the TAPE OUT  
and VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.  
You can listen to the source while  
recording. The AV receiver’s VOL-  
UME control has no effect on record-  
ing.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder  
connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO jack are  
recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT  
jacks.

Notes:  
Speaker Distance  
• The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to  
5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For  
example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the  
Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15  
and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).  
To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that  
the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the  
same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis-  
tance from each speaker to the listening position.  
• The Surround and Surround Back distances can be set  
up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the  
Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set  
to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight, Surr Left, Surr Back R,  
and Surr Back L distances can be set between 5 and 25  
ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).  
Measure and make a note of the  
distance from each speaker to  
the listening position.

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.  
If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con-  
nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and  
phono preamp.  
• Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual  
speaker levels (pages 52, 53).  
Power  
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to  
Auto (page 53).  
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 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.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned  
on  
Only the center speaker produces sound  
• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx  
Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an  
AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is  
concentrated in the center speaker.  
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,  
and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-  
nected 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.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
The surround speakers produce no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the surround speakers produce no sound (page 44).  
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
not much sound may be produced by the surround  
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
Audio  
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet  
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly (page 31). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but-  
ton repeatedly.  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 20).  
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with metal  
part of each speaker terminal (page 17)  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79,  
or MAX (page 34). The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range  
for precise adjustment.  
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the AV receiver (page 42).  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 43).  
The center speaker produces no sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,  
the center speaker produces no sound (page 44).  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
The surround back speakers produce no sound  
• The surround back speakers are not used with all lis-  
tening modes. Select another listening mode  
(page 44).  
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround  
back speakers with some sources.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
• While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to  
5.1-channel playback and the surround back speakers  
produce no sound.  
• Check the digital audio output settings on the con-  
nected device. On some games 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.  
• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in,  
you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker  
set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.  
• When you play source material that contains no infor-  
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces  
no sound.  
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback  
DTS material properly even though your player is con-  
nected 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 recog-  
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you  
may hear noise.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 32).  
• 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 mal-  
function.  
Speaker set B produces no sound  
• Speaker set B only outputs sources that are connected  
to an analog input. Make sure that the analog audio  
cables are connected properly.  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some games consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 20).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected.  
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so  
if a video source component is connected to a compo-  
nent video input, your TV must be connected to the  
component video output (page 21).  
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback  
• While speaker B is on, speaker set A is reduced to  
5.1-channel playback.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• When the volume level of each speaker has been  
adjusted (pages 43, 52), the maximum possible vol-  
ume setting may be reduced.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.  
Noise can be heard  
Tuner  
• 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.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers  
from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t  
appear  
• Relocate your antenna.  
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-  
puter.  
• Listen to the station in mono (page 36).  
• When listening to anAM 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.  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital  
(page 48).  
The multichannel DVD input doesn’t work  
• Check the multichannel DVD input connections  
(page 23).  
• To select the multichannel DVD input, press the  
[MULTI CH] input selector button.  
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.  
Can’t select XM radio channels  
About DTS signals  
• Channels cannot be selected while the

indica-  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your  
player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver  
does not switch formats immediately, you may not  
hear any sound, in which case you should stop your  
player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

The remote controller doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-  
rect polarity (page 9).  
Can’t record  
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is  
selected.  
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far  
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no  
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV  
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 9).  
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-  
ler mode (page 10).  
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV  
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs  
with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or  
VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

tally (page 29).  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-  
cessing 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.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected  
via  
, or another manufacturer’s component, point  
the remote controller at the component. Be sure to  
enter the appropriate remote control code first (see  
page 54).  
• When learning commands, make sure that the trans-  
mitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at  
each other.  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-  
rectly.  
• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that  
cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot  
be learned, especially those that contain several  
instructions.  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn  
it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button,  
press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will  
appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter  
Standby mode.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-  
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
