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, such as a book, on the remote con-  
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-  
ently, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an  
obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote con-  
trol sensor.  
Replace the cover and push it shut.

• When the remote control codes have been registered  
and you want to operate another component (page 89),  
or when you want to operate an Onkyo component  
without u connection, point the remote controller at  
the other component to use it.  
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

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 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 listening modes.  
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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,  
with the listener at the apex.  
Front high left and right speakers  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby PLIIz Height, etc.  
They enhance significantly the spatial experience.  
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front left and right  
speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to

image. In movies it’s used  
mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to your TV fac-  
ing forward at about ear 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 position, the shape of your  
listening room, and your listening posi-  
tion. 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.  
Tip: To find the best position for your sub-  
woofer, while playing a movie or some  
music with good bass, experiment by  
placing your subwoofer at various posi-  
tions within the room, and choose the one  
that provides the most satisfying results.  
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 equidistant from the listener.

Speaker Configuration  
Using Dipole Speakers  
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need  
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table indicates the channels you should  
use depending on the number of speakers that you have.  
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and  
right, surround back left and right and front high left and  
right 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  
left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so  
that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the  
surround back left and right and front high left and right  
dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows  
point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
North American/Taiwan models: You can connect  
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 activated.  
1/2"-5/8"(12-15 mm)  
Strip 1/2"-5/8" (12-  
15 mm) of insulation  
from the ends of the  
speaker cables, and  
twist the bare wires  
tightly, as shown.  
1
Other models: You can connect speakers with an  
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the imped-  
ance 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” (see page 43). 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 nega-  
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way  
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound  
unnatural.  
Unscrew the terminal.  
2
3
Fully insert the bare  
wires.  
Screw the terminal tight.  
4
FRONT HIGH L/R, ZONE 2 L/R  
(North American/Taiwan models)  
3/8"-1/2"(10-12 mm)  
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may  
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.  
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two  
surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not  
connect them to the SURR BACK L/R or FRONT  
HIGH L/R terminals.  
Strip 3/8"-1/2" (10-  
1
12 mm) of insulation  
from the ends of the  
speaker cables, and  
twist the bare wires  
tightly, as shown.  
• Be careful not to short the  
positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.  
• Make sure the metal core of  
the wire does not have contact  
with the AV receiver’s rear  
panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.  
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.  
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.  
While pressing the lever,  
insert the wire into the  
hole, and then release the  
lever.  
Make sure that the  
terminals are gripping the bare wires, not  
the insulation.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
About HDMI  
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital  
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now,  
several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can  
carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital  
audio, 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 standard:  
Repeater System, 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 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.  
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s  
HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.  
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  
-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.  
• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 82).  
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 93) and “Controlling a DVD Player, or DVD Recorder” (page 94) for operation.  
Note:  
Do not connect the  
-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so  
that the linked operations work properly.  
• DVD/BD player is up to three.  
• DVD/BD recorder is up to three.  
• Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.  
Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.  
When the  
-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not  
guaranteed.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.  
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to  
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.  
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): 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.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued  
Making HDMI Connections  
Step 1:  
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray player/DVD player,  
TV, projector, and so on.  
Step 2:  
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 40).  
Video Signals  
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.  
Composite video and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Connection For-  
mats” on page 25 for more information.  
Audio Signals  
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV  
receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see  
page 81).  
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “Audio TV Out”  
setting to “On” (see page 81), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:  
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can  
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need  
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In  
addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.  
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be  
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV  
power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound  
may be cut off.  
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 81), or “TV Control” is set to “On” (see page 82) and  
you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output  
by the AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your  
TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.  
• 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.

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.  
Video Connection Formats  
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats:  
composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.  
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver  
as shown, with composite video and component

Signal Selection  
If signals are present at more than one input, the  
inputs will be selected automatically in the fol-  
lowing order of priority: HDMI, component  
video, composite video.

Signal Selection Example  
Composite  
Component  
HDMI  
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.

AV receiver  
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV  
receiver by using any of the following audio con-  
nection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or  
HDMI.  
When choosing a connection format, bear in  
mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital  
input signals for analog line outputs and vice  
versa. For example, audio signals connected to  
an optical or coaxial digital input are not output  
by the analog TV/TAPE OUT.

Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected  
via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will auto-  
matically turn on and select that component as the  
input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set  
to Standby, all components connected via u will  
also go on Standby.  
Connecting the Power Cord  
Notes:  
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of  
your speakers and AV components.  
• 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.  
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied  
with the AV receiver. The supplied power cord is  
designed exclusively for use with the AV receiver and  
should not be used with any other equipment.  
• Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver  
while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet.  
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always discon-  
nect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then  
the AV receiver.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected  
via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that  
component as the input source.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to  
control your other u-capable Onkyo components,  
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  
(see page 92).  
Step 1 (On some model):  
Connect the supplied power cord to the AV receiver’s  
AC INLET.  
Notes:  
• 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 con-  
nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for  
connecting additional u-capable components.  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Con-  
necting other manufacturer’s components may cause a  
malfunction.  
To AC wall outlet  
• Some components may not support all u functions.  
Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo  
components.  
Step 2:  
Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.  
• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and  
Direct Change u functions do not work.

Measurement Positions  
Audyssey 2EQRoom Correction  
and Speaker Setup  
To create a listening environment in your home theater  
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes  
measurements at up to three positions within the  
listening area.  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,  
Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of  
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass  
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the  
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary  
listening position.  
a First measurement point  
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this  
refers to the most central position where one would  
normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ  
uses the measurements from this position to calcu-  
late speaker distance, level, polarity, and the opti-  
mum crossover value for the subwoofer.  
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  
everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also

proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see  
page 74).  
The left side of the listening area.  
Before using this function, connect and position all of  
your speakers.  
The distances between points a and b and points a  
and c must be at least 1 meter.  
If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to “On”,  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume becomes available.  
From the examples below, choose the listening area that  
best matches yours and place the microphone  
accordingly when prompted.  
About Audyssey Dynamic EQ  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of  
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by  
taking into account human perception and room  
acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency  
response and surround levels moment-by-moment at  
any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass  
response, tonal balance, and surround impression that  
remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic  
EQ combines information from incoming source  
levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a  
prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction  
solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem  
with Audyssey 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. Whenever necessary, Dynamic  
Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual  
adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume  
level while optimizing the dynamic range.  
Listening area  
:
:
Listening position  
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.

Using a Powered Subwoofer  
If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very  
low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be  
detected by the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and  
Speaker Setup.  
If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review SP  
Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s  
volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest  
crossover frequency, and then try running the  
Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup  
again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the  
sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an  
appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-  
pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your  
subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

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 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 (i.e., TV/  
TAPE, CD) is selected, the video input source remains  
unchanged.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con-  
nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by  
the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.  
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be  
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.  
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t  
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.  
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no  
image is provided because the power is turned off for  
the video circuit. If you want to make recordings,  
select other listening mode.  
Camcorder  
AV Recording  
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-  
sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT  
jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder  
(e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR  
OUT jack. See pages 25 to 37 for hookup information.

Dolby Digital  
About the Listening Modes  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your  
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with  
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.  
Pure Audio  
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned  
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in  
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is  
turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN  
can be output.)  
5.1-channel source + Dolby EX  
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX  
soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround  
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra  
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound  
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.  
Direct  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-  
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are  
output as they are.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete  
channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-chan-  
nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-  
back.  
Multichannel  
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
DTS  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to  
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-  
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that  
bear the DTS logo.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is  
high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and  
24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.  
Dolby PLIIx Movie  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).  
DTS-ES Discrete  
Dolby PLIIx Music  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks,  
which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/  
7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio  
channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree  
sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the  
surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete  
soundtrack.  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
Dolby PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those  
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height  
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effec-  
tively use existing program material when height chan-  
nel speaker outputs are present. Dolby Pro Logic IIz  
Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from  
movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to  
upmix game content.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
DTS-ES Matrix  
Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks,  
which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix  
soundtrack.  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of  
a large hall.  
DTS Neo:6  
Unplugged  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1-  
channel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels  
of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, provid-  
ing a very natural and seamless surround sound experi-  
ence that fully envelops the listener.  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-  
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
Neo:6 Cinema  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV,  
DVD, VHS).  
TV Logic  
Neo:6 Music  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-  
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
5.1-channel source + Neo:6  
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback.  
Game-RPG  
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.  
Game-Action  
Use this mode when playing action game discs.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video  
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-  
tichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1  
channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.  
Game-Rock  
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.  
Game-Sports  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.  
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage  
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-  
mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan-  
nels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels  
with 192 kHz sampling rate.  
All Ch Stereo  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Full Mono  
DTS Express  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam-  
pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive  
audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub  
Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast  
and media servers.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound  
even with only two or three speakers. This works by con-  
trolling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right  
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.  
DSD  
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format  
used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).  
This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-  
channel audio.  
DTS Surround Sensation  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround  
sound even with only two speakers.  
Neo:6 Cinema + DTS Surround Sensation  
Neo:6 Music + DTS Surround Sensation  
These modes use Neo:6 to expand stereo sources for vir-  
tual surround playback.

Speaker Distance  
This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 46).  
Here you can specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker  
arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound designer intended.  
Unit  
feet: Distances can be set in feet. Range: 1 to 30 feet in 1-foot steps.  
meters: Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter steps.  
Left, Front High left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back R,  
Surr Back L, Surr Left, Subwoofer  
Specify the distance from the each speaker to your listening position.  
Note:  
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the Speaker Configuration (page 70) cannot be selected.  
Notes:  
• The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Left distance. For example,  
if the Left 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).  
• The Surround distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Left distance. For example,

Speaker Levels Calibration  
This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 46).  
Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same  
at the listening position.  
Left, Front High left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back R,  
Surr Back L, Surr Left, Subwoofer  
The levels can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).  
Note:  
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the Speaker Configuration (page 70) cannot be selected.  
Note:  
The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.  
Tip:  
If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening  
position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.  
Equalizer Settings  
This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 46).  
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume of  
each speaker can be set on page 72.  
Notes:  
You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1000Hz”, “4000Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,  
“63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.  
• While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.  
Equalizer

16000Hz) affect treble sounds.  
Use the Up [q] button to select “Channel”, and then use the Left  
3
and Right [e]/[r] buttons to select another speaker.  
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.  
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration”  
(page 70) do not output the test tone.  
Audyssey: The tone for each speaker is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room  
Correction and Speaker Setup function. Be sure to select this setting after having  
performed the Room Correction and Speaker Setup. “Dynamic EQ” and  
“Dynamic Volume” become available (see page 74).

Audio Adjust  
With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.  
Multiplex/Mono Settings  
Multiplex  
Input Channel  
Main: The main channel is output (default).  
Sub: The sub channel is output.  
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.  
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or  
languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.  
Mono  
Input Channel  
L+R: Both the left and right channels are output (default).  
Left: Only the left channel is output.  
Right: Only the right channel is output.  
This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or  
2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.  
Dolby Settings  
PLIIx Music (2ch Input)  
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.  
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
Panorama  
On: Panorama function on.  
Off: Panorama function off (default).  
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Music listening mode.  
Dimension  
–3 to +3 (default: 0)  
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.  
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve  
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move  
it backward.  
Center Width  
0 to 7 (default: 3)  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only  
the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front  
left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.  
Dolby EX  
Dolby EX  
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode  
is used.  
Manual: You can select any available listening mode (default).  
This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround  
back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD  
only.  
Note:  
If the “Surr Back” Setting is set to “None” (page 70), this setting cannot be selected.

Advanced Setup—Continued  
DTS Setting  
Neo:6 Music  
Center Image  
0 to 5 (default: 2)  
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With  
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create  
the center channel.  
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 attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.  
Audyssey Settings  
After room correction and speaker setup is completed, Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ becomes “On” by default.  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.  
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on (default).  
Dynamic EQ  
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into  
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and  
surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume  
level--not just at reference level.  
Note:  
In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey 2EQ™ is automatically deactivated during a recording.  
After the recording is finished, Audyssey 2EQ™ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ will resume as previously set.  
Dynamic Volume (see page 46)  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.  
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.  
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.  
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the  
most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.  
Note:  
“Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if  
”Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.  
Theater-Dimensional Setting  
Listening Angle  
Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).  
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 equidis-  
tant from the listening position and at an angle close to  
one of the two available settings.

• This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [TONE], [–], and [+] buttons.  
Late Night Function  
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear  
quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want  
to disturb anyone.  
Late Night  
For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the options are:  
Off: Late Night function off (default).  
Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.  
High: Large reduction in dynamic range.  
For Dolby TrueHD sources, the options are:  
Auto: The Late Night function is set to “On” or “Off” automatically (default).  
Off: Late Night function off.  
On: Late Night function on.  
Notes:  
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original  
sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.  
• The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby  
TrueHD.  
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be

Controlling an RI Dock  
By pressing the REMOTE MODE button that’s been  
programmed with the remote control code for your  
Dock, you can control your iPod in the Dock with the  
following buttons.  
Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this  
button, in which case you should press it again. This is  
because the remote controller transmits the On and  
Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is  
already on, it will remain on when the remote control-  
ler transmits an On command. Similarly, if your iPod  
is already off, it will remain off when the remote con-  
troller transmits an Off command.  
For some RI docks, the [ON/STANDBY] button may not  
work with a remote control code 82990 (without RI).  
In this case, make an RI connection and enter a remote  
control code 82351 (with RI).

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue  
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected  
(page 51).  
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.  
• Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers  
(page 53).  
• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an  
HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,  
and be sure to select a supported audio format.  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those  
that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly (page 42).  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 22).  
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-  
nents are connected properly (pages 24-36).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The surround back speakers produce no sound  
• Depending on the current listening mode, no sound  
may be produced by the surround back speakers.  
Select another listening mode (page 67).  
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround  
back speakers with some sources.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 70).  
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the  
main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the sur-  
round back speakers produce no sound (page 85).  
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 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 three seconds, and then resume play-  
back.  
• 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 infor-  
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces  
no sound.  
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly  
(page 70).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-  
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those  
that support DVD, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,  
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player  
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-  
function.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
• 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.  
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes  
cannot be selected (pages 63-66).  
Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode  
• The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected  
while Zone 2 is on. (Pure Audio listening mode is not  
available for North American/Taiwan models.)  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 22).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected. (pages 24-36)  
Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback  
• If no surround back speakers are connected, or the  
Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is  
not possible.  
You can not always select all of the listening modes,  
depending on the number of the speakers connected  
(pages 63-66).  
• If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, select  
“- - - - -” in the “HDMI Input Setup” on page 40 to  
• If the video source is connected to a component video  
input, you must assign that input to an input selector  
(page 41), and your TV must be connected to either  
the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONI-  
TOR OUT (pages 27 and 24).  
• If the video source is connected to a composite video  
input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT  
or the corresponding composite video output  
(pages 27 and 24).  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
you must assign that input to an input selector  
(page 40), and your TV must be connected to the  
HDMI OUT (page 24).  
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the  
video circuitry is turned off and only video signals  
input through HDMI IN can be output.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set  
(page 80).  
• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been  
adjusted to high positive values (page 72), then the  
maximum 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 (page 47).  
Noise can be heard  
• 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.  
The Late Night function doesn’t work  
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby  
Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 75).  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
