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 or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and  
Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP lis-  
tening modes.  
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).  
a b Front speakers (Left and Right)  
ij  
kl  
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-  
vide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned  
facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV.  
Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the  
apex.  
f
ab  
c
c
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements  
distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly  
for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear  
level, or at the same height as the front speakers.  
d e Surround speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-  
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly  
behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they  
should be equidistant from the listener.  
f
Subwoofer(s)  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency  
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your  
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening  
room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be  
obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third  
the width of the wall, as shown.  
de gh  
g h Surround back speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES  
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the  
realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the  
listener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to  
100 cm) above ear level.  
Corner  
position  
i j Front high speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and  
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.  
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (pref-  
erably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front  
speakers.  
1/3 of wall  
position  
Tip  
• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while  
playing a movie or some music with good bass,  
experiment by placing your subwoofer at various  
positions within the room, and choose the one that  
provides the most satisfying results.  
k l Front wide speakers (Left and Right)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They signifi-  
cantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the  
about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Connecting the AV Receiver  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting Your Speakers  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
You can connect speakers with an impedance of between  
4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected  
speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure  
to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms”  
(44). 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.  
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 7  
speakers and a powered subwoofer.

damage the AV receiver.

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to  
the SURR BACK L terminals.  
Front high, surround back and front wide 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 (29) or manually (44).  
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels  
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all  
red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).  
• 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.

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.

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.

Using Banana Plugs  
• 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.  
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one  
surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround  
back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two  
directions.  
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to  
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole  
speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point

Bi-amping the Front Speakers  
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be  
used with front speakers and surround back speakers respec-  
tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds  
for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing  
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 connect to the  
front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK L/R ter-  
minal 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(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-  
amping (44).

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from  
HDMI OUT. However, because the AV receiver selects the video input in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you  
have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN.  
To select the multichannel input, select the BD/DVD input selector and see “Audio Selector” (58). To adjust the subwoofer sensi-  
tivity for the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (43).  
• The AV receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
• With connection D, you can listen and record audio from the external components while you are in Zone 2. You can listen and record  
audio from the external components in the main room; you can listen to the audio in Zone 2 as well.  
• With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen in Zone 2 as well, use C and D.)  
How to record the video

video recording (34).  
Connecting Onkyo u Components  
Note  
Step 1:  
Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected  
with an analog audio cable (connection D in the hookup  
examples) (19).  
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied  
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).  
• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either  
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting addi-  
tional u-capable components.  
Step 2:  
Make the u connection (see illustration below).  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other  
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.  
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to  
the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.  
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct  
Change u functions do not work.  
Step 3:  
If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,  
change the Input Display (27).  
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following  
special functions:  
• Do not use RI connections if you use HDMI Control (RIHD)

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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to  
the MONITOR OUT V, MONITOR OUT S or the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT, use the AV receiver’s  
display when changing settings.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,  
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.  
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-  
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).  
To by-pass video upconversion in the AV receiver, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and RETURN on the AV  
receiver. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press RETURN to toggle until “Skip” appears on the  
display. Release both buttons.  
To use the video upconversion in the AV receiver, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and  
release the buttons.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs  
will be selected automatically in the following order of  
priority: HDMI, component video, PC IN (Analog  
RGB), S-Video and composite video.  
However, for component video only, regardless of  
whether a component video signal is actually present,  
if a component video input is assigned to the input  
selector, that component video input will be selected.  
And if no component video input is assigned to the  
input selector, this will be interpreted as no component  
video signal being present.

Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction  
and Speaker Setup  
TV  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,  
Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number  
of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass man-  
agement, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer  
(if present), and distances from the primary listening posi-  
tion.  
d e f  
c a b  
Audyssey MultEQ 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 MultEQ allows you to also use  
: Listening area  
a to f: Listening position  
Note  
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio  
Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measure-  
ments. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, flu-  
orescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other  
devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place  
it away from all audio electronics.  
• The microphone picks up test tones which played through each  
speaker as Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker  
Setup run.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ , which maintains the proper  
octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (48).  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (48), the “Equalizer”  
setting will be set to “Audyssey” (46). On the other  
hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting  
will be set to “Off” (49).  
• Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot  
be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.  
It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 6 positions. Total  
measurement time varies depending on the number of  
speakers.  
Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.  
On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver  
is connected.

Using Audyssey MultEQ  
Using Audyssey MultEQ to create a listening environment  
in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,  
Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to 6 posi-  
tions within the listening area. Position the microphone at  
ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip  
pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold  
the microphone in your hand during measurements as this  
will produce inaccurate results.  
SETUP MIC jack  
Speaker setup microphone  
First measurement position  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would nor-  
mally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses  
the measurements from this position to calculate  
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum cross-  
over value for the subwoofer.  
The speaker setting menu appears.  
Note  
• The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is  
connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to  
the MONITOR OUT V, MONITOR OUT S or the COM-  
PONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT, use the AV  
receiver’s display when changing settings.  
SecondSixth measurement positions  
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places  
where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up  
to 6 positions.  
The following examples show some typical home theater  
seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches  
yours, and position the microphone accordingly when  
prompted.

channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing  
has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in  
the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels  
found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height  
channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual  
cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX  
applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the  
front and surround channels.

Equalizer Settings  
THX Audio Setup  
With the “Surr Back Speaker Spacing” setting, you can  
specify the distance between your surround back speakers.  
If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the “THX  
Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” setting to “Yes”. You can  
then apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC)  
to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low frequen-  
cies for listeners sitting very close to a room boundary  
(i.e., wall).  
®
This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ  
Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (29).  
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of  
speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume  
of each speaker can be set (45).

THX Loudness Plus  
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology  
featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™  
Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home  
theater audiences can now experience the rich details in  
a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of  
turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-  
tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently  
by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the  
tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is  
reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround  
channel levels and frequency response. This enables  
users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard-  
less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-  
matically applied when listening in any THX listening  
mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX  
Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX  
Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

Dynamic Volume  
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”  
setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction

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.  
• When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, the Dynamic Vol  
indicator will light (9).  
`15dB:  
• If Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected, this setting  
cannot be selected.  
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-  
Audyssey MultEQ 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 MultEQ 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.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-  
rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking  
into account human perception and room acoustics.  
Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and  
surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-  
selected volume setting. The result is bass response,  
tonal balance, and surround impression that remain con-  
stant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines  
information from incoming source levels with actual  
output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for deliv-  
ering a loudness correction solution.  
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.  
Note  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with  
Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for  
every listener at any volume level.  
• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be  
selected.

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

About NET  
Connecting the AV Receiver  
The AV receiver is network-ready, which means you can  
hook it up to your home network with a standard Ethernet  
cable and enjoy the music files stored on your computer or  
media server. If your network is connected to the Internet,  
you can also enjoy Internet radio.  
To connect the AV receiver to your home network, plug  
one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the AV  
receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a  
LAN port on your router or switch.  
The following diagram shows how you can connect the  
AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s  
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port  
100Base-TX switch built-in.  
Network Requirements  
Ethernet Network  
For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network  
is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a  
computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, play-  
back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-

Ethernet Router  
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying  
IP addresses. Your router must support the following:  
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-  
eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-  
neously via a single Internet connection. The AV  
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.  
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP  
supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them  
to configure themselves automatically.  
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-  
mended.  
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs  
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP  
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

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

LAN/Ethernet port  
Internet Access (for Internet radio)  
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must  
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection  
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory  
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-  
mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please  
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
Computer or media server  
Note  
• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband  
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.  
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet  
connection.  
• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings  
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,  
see “Network Settings” (65).  
• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have  
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-com-  
patible router.  
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server  
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a  
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver (65).

Listening to Internet Radio  
Note  
• When the NETWORK indicator flashes, confirm that the  
Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the AV receiver.  
• Services available may vary depending on the region. See  
the separate instructions for more information.  
To receive Internet radio, you must connect the AV  
receiver to a network with Internet access (59).  
You can select Internet radio stations by connecting to the  
AV receiver from your computer and selecting stations in  
your Web browser. Preset up to 40 Internet radio stations.  
Internet radio URLs in the following formats are sup-  
ported: PLS, M3U, and podcast (RSS). However, depend-  
ing on the type of data or audio format used by the Internet

Learning Commands  
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE  
MODE, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC.  
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 com-  
mands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of  
memory are learned.  
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on  
are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD  
players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can  
learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed  
commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (78).  
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this proce-  
dure.  
The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the com-  
mands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for  
example, the Play command from your CD player’s  
remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and  
then transmit the exact same command when its 1 is  
pressed in the CD remote mode.  
This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote  
control code (77) but some buttons don’t work as  
expected.  
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may  
be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some  
remotes that cannot be learned at all.  
ON  
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.  
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned com-  
mands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so  
don’t discard your other remote controllers.

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.

57  
About DTS signals  
Not much sound may be produced by the front high,  
front wide and surround back speakers with some  
sources.  
When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV 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.  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
44  
While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the 68  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front  
high, front wide and surround back speakers produce  
no sound.  
The subwoofer produces 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.  
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.

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).  
*1  
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) , so TVs and displays with  
a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,  
resulting in no picture.)  
*2  
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components can  
display the picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:  
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, 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  
*2  
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital  
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.  
*1  
*2  
*3  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s  
designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.  
DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this  
open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance  
PCs and digital displays.  
*3  
Note  
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by  
using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for  
audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.  
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or  
there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for  
details.
