About Home Theater
5
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.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

• 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.
@ Front speakers
These output tile overall sound. Their role ill 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.
@ Center speaker
This speaker enhances tile 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.
@ 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.
@ Surround back speakers
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. Posi-
tion them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear
level.
@ Front high speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic [Iz Height, and
Audyssey DSX "lM. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (prefera-
bly as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front speak-
ers.
@ Front wide speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly
enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the front
speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html about
optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.
(2) Subwoofer
Tile subwoofer handles tile bass sounds of tile 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.

*2 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 (@ 26) or manually (@ 40).

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.
Speaker Connection Precautions
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.
• (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"
(_ 40). 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.
• 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.

• 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.

doing so, set "Front High/Front Wide/Zone2" in Speaker Setup to "Front Wide" (_ 41).
• The i_ont high or i_ont wide speakers can also be connected to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH OR FRONT WIDE SPEAK-
ERS terminals. When doing so, set "Surf Back/Front High/Front Wide" in Speaker Setup to "Front High" or "Front Wide" (@ 41 ).

Using Dipole Speakers
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
toward the TV/screem while the surround back dipole speak-
ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward
each other, as shown.

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.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
Bi-amping the Front Speakers
Powered subwoofer
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK OR FRONT
HIGH OR FRONT WIDE L/R terminal posts can be
used with front speakers and surround back speakers
respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter
and woofer leeds for a pair of front speakers that sup-
port bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble per-
formance.
• 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 OR FRONT
WIDE L/R terminal posts connect to the front speak-
ers' 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 (_ 41 ).

Step 1:
Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected
with an analog audio cable (connection _ in the hookup
examples) (@ 18).
Step 2:
Make the R I connection (see illustration below).
Step 3:
If you're using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,
change the Input Display (_ 25).
With R I (Remote Interactive), you can use the lY_llowing
special functions:
m System On/Auto Power On
When you start playback on a component connected via
fatI while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV
receiver will automatically turn on and select that com-
ponent as the input source.
m Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via
f:t I, the AV receiver automatically selects that compo-
nent as the input source.
m Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to con-
trol your other f:t I-capable Onkyo components, point-
ing the remote controller at the AV receiver's remote
control sensor instead of the component. You must enter
the appropriate remote control code first (_ 63).
• Use only 1"-41cables for 1"-41connections. 1"-41cables are supplied
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two 1"-41jacks. You can connect either
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting addi-
tional 1"-4I-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to f'-41jacks. Connecting other
manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all f-q1functions. Refer to
the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct
Change 1"-41functions do not work.

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.
Video Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, com-
ponent video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that Video Signal Flow Chart
video signals pass through the system without upconver- ] Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc, [
sion (e.g., component video input through to component
video output).
It is also recommended that you press VGR/DVR and
RETURN on the AV receiver at the same time. Select
"Skip" in the "VideoProcessor" setting by pressing
RETURN repeatedly on the display. To reset back to the
original setting, press the same button at the same time.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video and component video sources all being
upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video and component video outputs pass [ TV, projector, etc. ]
through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect audio component to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector
(_ 39).
m Signal Selection
It signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will
be selected automatically in the following order of priority:
HDMI, component video, 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.
In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video
signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video
inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected
as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs.

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ
automatically determines the number of speakers con-
nected, their size for purposes of bass management, opti-
mum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present),
and distances from the primary listening position.
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

Using Audyssey 2EQ®
To create a listening environment in your home theater
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measure-
ments at up to three positions 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.
@ First measurement position
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 calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum
crossover value for the subwoofer.
(_ Second measurement position
The right side of the listening area.
(_ Third measurement position
The left side of the listening area.
The distances from position (_) to (_) and (_) to (_) must be
at least 1 meter.

the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,
rock, etc.).

information, the text will be shown on the display as
described in the next section.
N PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type
(_ 30).
N TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that
broadcast traffic information (@ 30).
• [n some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver
may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also,
unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported
characters are received. This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be
displayed intermittently or not at all.
When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting text
information, the text can be displayed.

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
L J L J
VCR, Cassette, CDR,
DVD recorder MD, etc,
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is
not possible while it's ill Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to
the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-
nect the TV/VCR's audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR's audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-
plied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs call be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/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 pro-
vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you
want to make recordings, select other listening mode. (Euro-
pean, Australian and Asian modds)
AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette
deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g.,
VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT
jack.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Use the input selector buttons to select the source
that you want to record.
You can watch the source while recording. The AV
receiver's MASTER VOLUME control has no effect
on recording.
On your recorder, start recording.
On the source component, start playback.
If you select another input source during recording,
that input source will he 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/¢D) is selected,
the video input source remains unchanged.
In the lY)llowing 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.

Audyssey DSX _t is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve sur-
round impression. Starting with a 5,1 system Audyssey DSX first adds Wide
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. [n addition to these new' Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX
applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the
front and surround channels.
The combination of Dolby Pro Logic II and Audyssey DSX*10 modes can
be used.
The combination of Neo:6 Cinema!Music and Audysscy DSX*10 modes
can be used.

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology
featured in THX Ultra2 Plus TM and THX Select2 Plus TM
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.

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.

Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

m Reference Level
Audyssey Dynamic EQ TM Reference Level Offset
0dB:
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.
15dB:
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 T_ 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.

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.
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 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.

You can set priorities of audio output when there are both
digital and analog inputs.
m Audio Selector
ARC:
The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to
the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.*1
With this selection the TV's audio can be automati-
cally selected as a priority among other assignments.
HDMI:
This can be selected when HDMI IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both HDMI (HDMI
IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTI-
CAL IN) have been assigned, HDMI input is auto-
matically selected as a priority.
COAX:
This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and opti-
cal inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is auto-
matically selected as a priority.
OPT:
This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been
assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and opti-
cal inputs have been assigned, optical input is auto-
matically selected as a priority.
Analog:
The AV receiver always outputs analog signals.
• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
• This setting call be made only for the input source that is
assigned as HDMI IN, COAXIAL IN, or OPTICAL IN.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto-
matically. However, if you experience either of the follow-
ing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can
manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS.
• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut
off, try setting the format to PCM.
• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a
DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
Auto:
The format is detected automatically. If no digital
input signal is present, the corresponding analog
input is used instead.
PCM:
Only 2-channel PCM format input signals will be
heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indi-
cator will flash and noise may also be produced.
DTS:
Only DTS (but not DTS-HD) format input signals
will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS
indicator will flash and there will be no sound.
• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
• The setting will be reset to "Auto" when you change the setting

N 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.

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)*1, so TVs and displays with
a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,
resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, so only HDCP-compatible components can
display the picture.
I 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, 16120124 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32-192 kHz, 16120124 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)*2, a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
"1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 ill 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by [ntel for HDM[/DVL 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 [ntel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewrlett 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.
• The HDM[ video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual [nterface), soTVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by
using an HDM[-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note thatDVI 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 HDM[ audio signal (samplingrate, 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 HDM[, check its setup. Refer to the connected component's instruction manual for
details.
