About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’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, 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 listening modes.

a Front 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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward

so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

c d e

b Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis-

tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-

log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the

same height as the front speakers.

c Surround 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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be

equidistant from the listener.

d Surround back speakers

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

DTS-ES Discrete, 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.

e Front high speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height. They

significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet

(100 cm) above the front speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at

an angle slightly wider than the front speakers.

f 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 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.

Corner

position

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.

Connecting the AV Receiver

Speaker Connection Precautions

Connecting Your Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• (North American and Taiwan models) You can con-

nect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16

ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and

use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period

of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be acti-

vated.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven

speakers and a powered subwoofer.

• (European, Australian and Asian models) You can

connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and

16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected

speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure

to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”

(➔ 36). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and

use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period

of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)

terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)

terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the

sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Front high speakers

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the

same time.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you

need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automati-

cally (➔ 23) or manually (➔ 36).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have con-

tact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and

you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each

speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all

you need to do is to match the color of each label to the

corresponding speaker terminal.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker ter-

minal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of

insulation from the ends of the

speaker cables, and twist the bare

wires tightly, as shown.

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

Using Banana Plugs (North American models)

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Push-type speaker terminals

Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of

the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)

Note

• The front high speakers can also be connected to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH SPEAKERS terminals. When doing so, set

“Surr Back/Front High” in Speaker Setup to “Front High” (➔ 37).

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s

SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on

your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your sub-

woofer is unpowered and you’re using an external

amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

jack to an input on the amp.

LINE INPUT

Powered subwoofer

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK OR FRONT

HIGH L/R terminal posts can be used with front speak-

ers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-

amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for

a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, provid-

ing improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to

drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con-

nect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals; the

SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L/R terminal

posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections

shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must

set the “Speakers Type” setting to “Bi-Amp” to

enable bi-amping (➔ 37).

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) 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.

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.

Center Width

`0 to 3 to 7

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound

from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro

Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re

using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-

put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a

center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-

uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-

tom center). This setting controls the front left, right,

and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the

center channel sound.

■ Listening Angle

`Wide:

Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.

`Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-

sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the

front left and right speakers relative to the listening

position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should

be equidistant from the listening position and at an

angle close to one of the two available settings.

■ PLIIz Height Gain

The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz

enables the listener to select how much gain is applied

to the front high speakers. There are three settings,

“Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers

are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default

listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain

Control to their personal preference.

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.

Items can be set individually for each input selector.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great

sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-

rating 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.

Note

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

`0dB:

Audyssey 2EQ 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 every-

one. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use

Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper

octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.

Before using this function, connect and position all of

your speakers.

It should be used when listening to movies.

`5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

`10dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a

wider dynamic range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

`15dB:

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.

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro-

gram material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer-

ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the-

ater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that

–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise

produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening

position. A home theater system automatically cali-

brated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at reference level

when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB posi-

tion. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers

heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey 2EQ 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. 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.

Troubleshooting

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

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

self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

■ 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 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, dis-

connect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers

and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when

you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the

power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

—

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

AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it

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

STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and

the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

■ Only the front speakers produce sound

■ Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce

sound.

—

If no surround back speakers, and front high speak-

ers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being

used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.

—

Check the Speaker Configuration.

You can not always select all of the listening modes, 30–33

depending on the number of the speakers connected.

■ Only the center speaker produces sound

■ The speaker volume cannot be set as required

(The volume cannot be set to +18.0 dB)

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.

—

Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.

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 the Audyssey 2EQ^®Room Cor-

rection and Speaker Setup function has been com-

pleted.

22, 38

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

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound.

—

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The front high and surround back speakers

produce no sound

■ About DTS signals

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 for-

ward, 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 three seconds, and

then resume playback.

—

Depending on the current listening mode, no sound 30

may be produced by the front high and surround

back speakers. Select another listening mode.

Not much sound may be produced by the front high

and surround back speakers with some sources.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the 49

main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front

high, and surround back speakers produce no sound.

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your

player is connected to a digital input on the AV

receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

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

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver

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

cases, you may hear noise.

—

■ The subwoofer produces no sound

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

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.

■ 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.

—

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 30–33

cannot be selected.

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

—

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 receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components can

display the picture.

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

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, 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 receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital

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

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.

Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo

components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over

HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-

tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
