servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the apparatus,
C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
water,
D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in
any way, and
F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
16. Object and Liquid Entry

2. AC Fuse
The AC fuse inside the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is not
user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care
Occasionally you should dust the TX-NR801/TX-
NR801E all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use
a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-
gent and water. Dry the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E immedi-
ately afterwards with a clean cloth. Dont use abrasive
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents,
because they may damage the nish or remove the panel
lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure
that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements
printed on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801Es rear panel (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compatibility
with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this
model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct
voltage for your area.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not
fully shutdown the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If you do not
intend to use the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E for an extended
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
For British Models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply
cord of this unit should be performed only by qualied service
personnel.
IMPORTANT

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the ter-
minal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 ampere fuse is tted in this plug. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rat-
ing of 5 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the
body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR

Before Using the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
The worldwide model has a voltage selector for com-
patibility with power systems around the world. Before
you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selec-
tor is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t,
use a small screwdriver to set it appropriately. For
example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts (V), set
the selector to “120V.And if it’s between 220 and 230
volts (V), set it to “220-230V.
Notes:
The supplied batteries should last for about six
months, although this will vary with usage.
If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing both batteries.
Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of
batteries.
If you intend not to use the remote controller for a
long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible
leakage and corrosion.
Dead batteries should be removed as soon as possible
to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.
To use the remote controller, point it at the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E’s remote control sensor, as shown below.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s STANDBY indicator
flashes while a signal is being received from the remote
controller.
Notes:
The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is subjected to bright light,
such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent
lights. Keep this in mind when installing the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
If another remote controller of the same type is used
in the same room, or the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is
installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays,
the remote controller may not work reliably.
Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote
controller, because the buttons may be pressed inad-
vertently, thereby draining the batteries.
The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is installed in a rack behind
colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when install-
ing the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Antenna—Continued
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results
can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away
for tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your
local FM transmitter.
Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well
away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local
regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
Using the 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter
The 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter is not supplied with
USA, Canadian and European models.
The 75/300 ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect
an FM antenna using either 75 ohm coaxial cable or
300 ohm twin-core flat cable.
Connecting 300 ohm Flat Cable
Connecting 75 ohm Coaxial Cable
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circum-
stances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
1
Using a screwdriver, loosen
the two screws on the adapter,
wrap the bare wires around the
screws, and then retighten
them, as shown.
2

About Home Theater
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively
sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.
For the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, Onkyo recommends you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX
Surround EX playback.
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording
formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.
For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the
sound to reach the listener is constant. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance
the volume level between speakers (See pages 33 and 35).
Enjoying Home Theater
How to use speakers
When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback).
When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround
playback).
When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4
channel surround playback).
When you have five speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right
speakers (5 channel surround playback).
When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and
surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback).
When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,
surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback).
No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1
channel playback).
Center speaker
Complements the sound effects from
front left and right speakers to enrich
and clear the sound image and move-
ment. In movies, an actor's speech
comes mainly from the center
speaker.
Place the center speaker as close as
possible to the TV or monitor, point-
ing it towards the listener’s ears.
Also, keep the center speaker’s
height at the same level as the front
left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
Outputs only bass sounds to
enhance and complement bass
sound effects. Place the sub-
woofer either at the front corner
of the room or at a position 1/3
from either front corner of the
room.
Front left and right speakers
Output overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound
images and fields.
Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to the listener’s ears in the listening position
for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that they are located symmetrically.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of
the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should
be placed symmetrically.
Surround back speakers
Enhance the sound space repre-
sentation with surround channel
signals. Recreating sound
movement effects and sound
fields behind the listener gives a
more realistic experience.
17
Speaker Placement
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to
place them properly to create the optimum sound space
for your listening pleasure. During placement and
connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and
instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore,
be aware that for surround playback, the configuration
and placement of your speakers are both very important.
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical
examples of speaker placement and recommendations
are shown.
In order to create the optimum conditions for the best
sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the
greatest difference between the distances of each
speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6
meters).
Important Points Regarding Speaker Placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place these three speakers all at the same height.
Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of
the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
Place the right and left peakers at equal distances on
either side of the listening point.
Surround left and right speakers
Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1
meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality
greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those
characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening
room as well as your listening point. Generally, good
bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in
the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the
room.
To optimize the subwoofer placement, we
recommend:
Playing a movie or music source containing good
quality bass sound,
Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position
in the room, and
Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most
out of the bass sound while fixing the listening point.
Surround back speakers
Place these speakers so that
their height is 3 feet (1 meter)
higher than that of the listener’s
ears.
When using surround back left
and right speakers, place them
behind the listener so that the
angles between the lines from
each speaker to the listener and
a line straight back from the
listener are about 30 degrees.
Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how
they should be oriented in the room. For correct
acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
toward each other.

Connecting Speakers
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it
is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to
your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use
banana plugs/connectors.
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and
16 to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If the impedance of
even one speaker is between 4 and 6 , be sure to set the
speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).
Notes:
Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to
monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker
in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals.
To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wire.
Be sure to connect the positive and
negative cables for the speakers
properly. If they are mixed up, the
left and right signals will be reversed
and the audio will sound unnatural.
Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
Connect either your surround back speakers or the
speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone
2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS
terminals (See page 66).
The positive speaker terminals on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E are color coded for easy identification.
Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables,
and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the
corresponding terminals.
The speaker channels are colored as follows:
Front left speaker (+): White
Front right speaker (+): Red
Center speaker (+): Green
Surround left speaker (+): Blue
Surround right speaker (+): Grey
Surround back/Zone 2 left speaker (+): Brown
Surround back/Zone 2 right speaker (+): Tan

AV Cables and Connectors
Always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
Do not plug in the power cord until all connections
have been properly made.
For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are
used for the right channel, white connectors
(marked L) are used for the left channel, and
yellow connectors (marked V) are used for video
connection.
The optical digital jacks are all of shutter-type
construction. Connect an optical cable by first
making sure the cable is oriented correctly and
then inserting it into the jack by pushing the
shutter lid inwards.
Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper
connections can result in noise, poor performance,
or damage to the equipment.
Do not bind audio/video connection cables with
power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may
adversely affect the picture and sound quality.
Cables are depicted in the connection diagrams as shown below.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various
components to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. There are
many ways that any one component can be connected,
and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your
situation. The directions given here are only one option
and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as
well as those of your components and their features to
ascertain which method of connection is best.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
For DVD players or other devices that have component
video connectors, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has two
banks of component video input connectors (Y, P
B, PR)
for direct component video input. The TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E also has one bank of component video
output connectors for direct component video output to
the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other
display device. By sending the pure component video
signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing
that normally would degrade the image. The result is
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike
colors and crisp details.
VIDEO IN/OUT
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear
panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs
and each one includes both composite video and S video
configurations.
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and
other video components to the video inputs. Connect
VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the
video outputs to make video recordings.
When connecting a VCR or other video component,
make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the
same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).
The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.
The flow of the video signals is as follows:
Signals that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT.
When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT
VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television
to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO and S VIDEO. Those signals are not
output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. A projector
or monitor TV should be connected to VIDEO and S
VIDEO IN.
For other models whose TV Format is PAL:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT
VIDEO. When you connect a projector or monitor TV
to COMPONENT VIDEO inputs, you do not have to
connect them to VIDEO and S VIDEO inputs.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are
eight audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear
panel. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type
connectors.
DIGITAL IN/OUT
On the rear panel of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, there
are three coaxial digital inputs, three optical digital
inputs, and two optical digital outputs. To the digital
inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players,
or other digital source components. To the digital output,
connect MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or
other similar components.
Since an analog connection must be made when using
REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection
to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.
When using an optical input or output jack, always use
an optical fiber cable.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is equipped with a simple
Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since
both the signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs
are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if
the television or projector is equipped with an S video
input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors.
If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.
Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the
video input jack (composite) of the device to the MON-
ITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E. Or if the device has an S video input jack,
connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E using an S video connection
cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, con-
nect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUT-
PUT jacks on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If a model
is for other than USA, Canada or Australia and its TV
Format is PAL, when you use the connections described
above, video signals that come in from S VIDEO and
VIDEO IN are output to the TV, projector, etc.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
Note that the OSD Menu data will be output to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO and S VIDEO jacks, and will
not output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jack.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment—Continued
Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the
output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks
of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. Make sure that you
properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the
right channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is designed for use with
moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, con-
nect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For
some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire
may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground
wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
Using RCA audio connection cables, connect the output
jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE AUDIO IN
jacks of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E and connect the
input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE AUDIO
OUT jacks of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. Make sure
that you properly connect the left channels to the L
jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the
DIGITAL IN COAX jack or DIGITAL IN OPT jack of
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, depending on the type of
connector on the device.
On the initial settings of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E,
the TAPE input source is set for digital input at the
OPT 2 jack.
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this
must be changed at Setup Menu Input Setup
Digital Setup (See page 36).
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the
DIGITAL OUT OPT jack of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E for digital recording of the REC OUT
signal from the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
However, if the same device also has a digital output and
it has already been connected to the TX-NR801/TX-
NR801E, you cannot connect the digital input of the
device to the DIGITAL OUT jack of the TX-NR801/TX-
NR801E simultaneously.
Note:
The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is only the digital signal input
to the DIGITAL IN jack.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is equipped with AC mains
outlets for connecting the power cords from other devices
so that their power is supplied through the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E. By doing this, you can leave the connected
device turned on and have the STANDBY/ON button on
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E turn on and off the device
together with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC
outlets may differ depending on the area of purchase.
Caution:
Make sure that the total capacity of the components connected
to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E does not exceed the capacity
that is printed on the rear panel (e.g., TOTAL 120W).

Connecting -compatible AV Components
The terminal on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is for
connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the
same
terminal. When a component is connected to
the
terminal, it can be operated by the remote
controller supplied with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. In
addition, when you connect a component to the
terminal, you can also perform the system operations
given below.
Power on/ready function
When the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is in the standby
state, if an
-connected component is turned on, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E also turns on and the input
source selected at the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
automatically switches to that component.
Be aware that this function will not work if the power
cord for the
-connected component is connected to
the AC OUTLET on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, or if
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has already been turned on.
Direct change function
When the play button is pressed on an
-connected
component, the input source selected at the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E automatically changes to that component.
Power off function
When the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is placed in the
standby state, all
-connected components are also
automatically put into the standby state.
Also, if you press the ON button on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E remote controller while the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E is turned on, all
-connected
components (DVD players, CD players, MD recorders,
tuners, etc.) are also turned on.
To connect components using the
terminal, simply
connect a remote control cable from this
terminal to
the
terminal of the other component. An remote
control cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) miniature two-
conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck,
compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that
has an
terminal.
When performing operations with
-connected
components using the
system, do not use the
remote zone (Zone 2).
For remote control operation, the audio connection
cables must also be connected.
If a component has two
terminals, you can use
either one to connect to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
The other one can be used to daisy chain with another
component.
With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-
program code so that you can operate the DVD player
directly with the remote controller without connecting
the
terminals (See page 82).

Connecting the Power
Before you plug in the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, con-
firm that all connections have been made properly.
Turning on the power may cause a momentary power
surge, which might interfere with other electrical
equipment on the same circuit, such as computers. If
this happens, use a wall outlet on a different circuit.
(All models other than USA, Canadian and Austra-
lian models)
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is shipped with the
main power (POWER) switch in the on position
( ). When the power cord is plugged in for the
first time, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will automati-
cally enter the standby state and the STANDBY indi-
cator will light (same condition after step 2 below).
Before you can use the remote controller, you must
perform steps 1 and 2 above and place the TX-NR801/
TX
-
NR801E in the standby state.
Memory backup
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E uses a battery-less mem-
ory backup system in order to retain radio presets and
other settings when it is unplugged or in the case of a
power failure. Although no batteries are required, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E must be plugged into an AC
outlet in order to charge the backup system.
(On other than USA, Canadian and Australian models,
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s POWER switch must be
set to ON in order to charge the backup system.) Once it
has been charged, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will
retain the settings for several weeks, although this
depends on the environment and time will be shorter in
humid climates.

When you are not using the surround back speakers in
the main room and are using the internal amplifier to
power the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2), set the
Surr Back/Zone 2 setting to are “Zone 2.” When set to
“Zone 2,” the Zone 2 signals are output from the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2
SPEAKER terminals. Connect the remote zone (Zone 2)
speakers to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER
terminals or to the speaker terminals of the power
amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE
OUT terminals.
At this time, the main room is switched to 5.1 channel
playback mode, and therefore you cannot select the THX

Selecting the Appropriate Setting for Your Connections—Continued
After you have installed the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E,
connected all the components, and determined the
speaker layout, it is now time to perform the settings in
the Speaker Setup Menu to optimize the sound acoustics
for your environment and speaker layout.
Before you perform the following settings, it is
important that you first determine the following items:
The types and sizes of the speakers that are connected.
The distance from each speaker to the normal
listening position.
Note:
When “Large” is set, the complete frequency range for
that speaker channel will be output. When “Small” is set,
the frequencies below 80 Hz for that speaker channel are
output to the subwoofer. If there is no subwoofer, then
they will be output to the left and right front speakers.
(Set all speakers for THX speaker systems to “small.”)
If you want to perform these operations using the remote
controller, first press the RCVR button.

Level Calibration Sub-menu
Use this sub-menu to set the volume for each speaker so
that each volume is heard by the listener at the same
level. This is especially important for speaker layouts
where the left and right speakers are at different dis-
tances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs
and configurations. These settings and the distance set-
tings performed in the Speaker Distance Sub-menu are
vital for creating proper sound space and dynamics.
These settings cannot be made when the sound is
muted, when you connect the headphones, and when
you use multichannel playback.
You cannot use the MASTER VOLUME dial while
you perform the Level Calibration settings. These
settings are inteded to bring sound levels between
speakers into balance so as to obtain the proper sound
space.
This unit supports the THX format and the test tone is
output at a standard 0 dB (the Absolute Volume value
is 82). If you usually enjoy listening at a lower level
than the test tone, be careful of the test tone’s
sudden big sound. Note that the test tone will be
output immediately after pressing the ENTER button
in step 1 below.

This setting tells the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E which
input source button on the front panel is connected with
which digital input jack on the rear panel.
For example, if the input source selected at the front
panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to
DIGITAL IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the
input source selected is not connected to a digital input,
then select “----.
OPT1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3.
COAX1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.
----: Select if the input source is not from a digital
input jack.
b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig-
nal detection at the selected digital terminal.
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this
input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting
cannot be selected. Although you can use this default
setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on
the input signal format or if you know that you will
always be listening to a certain input signal format from
a particular input source.
All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal
will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig-
ital signal input, analog signal will be played.
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in
All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or
rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be
output.
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between
PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non-
PCM sound input will not be output.
Notes:
When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to
select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will
be heard.
If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected,
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will not automatically
switch to analog output even though “Auto” is
selected with the AUDIO SELECTOR button.
Notes on DTS:
If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the
“PCM” setting is selected on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E, the DTS encoded signal will not be
decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure
to select “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until
the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal
and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
If you press the pause or skip button on the player
while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try
playing the source with the “DTS” selected.
The DTS indicator on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
lights while a DTS source is played. When playback
finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E remains in DTS mode and
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise
when you operate the pause or skip button on the
player. Therefore, if the source is immediately
switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not
be played. In this case, stop the playback of the
source on the player for about three seconds and then
resume playback.
You may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even when
you connect the player to the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E digitally. This is because the digital sig-
nal has been processed (such as the output level, sam-
pling frequency, or frequency response) and the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E cannot recognize the signal
as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you
play a DTS source while processing the signal.
The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio
signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support
DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded
signal will be recorded as noise.
Multichannel Setup Sub-menu
(When NET AUDIO
is not selected as the input source)
When any input source other than NET AUDIO is
selected, this sub-menu appears and allows you to set
the multichannel input setting.
The setting in this sub-menu is normally set to “No,
and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player,
MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi-
channel port is connected to the MULTI CH INPUT
port for 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel audio.
The default setting for “DVD” is set to “Yes” and the
one for other input sources is set to “No.” When the ana-
log output from a DVD player is not connected to the
MULTI CH INPUT port, change this setting to “No.

is played while the video from VIDEO 1 continues.
----: Set this option when you do not want any video
inputs to be displayed.
b. Component Video
Use this setting if you connect monitors like TV to the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
The default settings are given below.
For example, when you connect the DVD player to the
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks, select “DVD”
as input source and set “b. Component Video” to
“INPUT 2.
Available component video inputs are “INPUT 1,
“INPUT 2,” “VIDEO*,” “Last Valid,” and “None*.
INPUT 1: The video signals from devices connected to
the INPUT 1 of the COMPONENT VIDEO input banks
are used.
INPUT 2: The video signals from devices connected to
the INPUT 2 of the COMPONENT VIDEO input banks
are used.
VIDEO*: The video signals assigned in the “a. Video”
sub-menu setting are used. This option is useful when
no devices are connected to the INPUT 1 and INPUT 2
of the COMPONENT VIDEO input banks.
Last Valid (enables the source last selected): Select to
have the video of the previous input source continued.
None*: No video signals are assigned. When you select
“None,” the OSD screen disappears. If you want to
change this setting later on, use the front panel display
on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
*Valid only when the PAL format is used in an area other than

Enjoying Music or Videos with the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E
Though the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is often used to lis-
ten to the radio, it does not show you its true ability until
it is used to play music or watch videos, DVDs, and the
like. The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has the latest state-
of-the-art features to play back today’s technologies with
the utmost in fidelity and power. From a two-speaker
system to a seven-speaker system, you are assured a
sound space that you can always enjoy.
To ensure the proper sound space, you must first per-
form the speaker setup settings. These settings allow
you to set the type of speakers you are using, the dis-
tance they are located from the listening position, and
the individual speaker volumes. For more details, see
Speaker Setup sub-menu of the Setup Menu on pages
32-35.
.
If you want to perform these operations using the remote
controller, first press the RCVR button.

Switching the display
While listening to or watching an input source, you can
display information regarding the type of source and sig-
nal being input.
When an input source other than FM or AM is selected:
Input
Program format*
Input +
Listening mode
or Multi Ch
* When the input signal is digital audio
The program format is displayed. For example, the dis-
play “Dolby D: 3/2.1” shows that the format is Dolby
Digital with 5.1 discrete channels consisting of three
front channels (front left, front right, and center), two
surround channels (surround left and surround right),
and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.
When the front channel number is 2, they are the front
left and front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When
the surround channel number is 1, it is monaural; when
it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE num-
ber is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no
program format for the input signal, nothing will be dis-
played.
When the input signal is linear PCM
The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the
display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM
and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.
When FM or AM is selected as the input source, see
page 47.
Dialog norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of
Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has
been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see
a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dia-
log Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue
Normalization serves to let you know if the source
material has been recorded at a higher or lower level
than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dialog
Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall
output level constant just turn down the volume control
by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than
usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment
of the volume control is necessary.
Changing the audio mode
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E accepts analog, digital
and multichannel signals for audio input. You can
choose which kind of signal to be played for a specific
device.
Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E automatically detects whether
the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal
is not input, then the analog signal is played. This setting
only appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital
Input setting at Setup Menu Input Setup Menu
Digital Setup Sub-menu (See pages 36-37).
Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back
the input from the component connected to the MULTI
CH INPUT port. This setting only appears if “Yes” is
selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu
Input Setup Menu Multichannel Setup Sub-menu
(See pages 37-38).
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a
source component connected to analog audio input
jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input
from the same component, only the analog signal will be
output.
Adjusting the bass and treble
You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup
Menu Audio Adjust Menu Tone Control Sub-menu
(See page 54). The treble level affects the front left and
right speakers and the center speaker. The bass level
affects the front left and right speakers, the center
speaker, and the subwoofer. For multichannel sources,
these dials will not work if the tone control is set to
“Direct” or “Pure Audio.

Using the Listening Modes
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s surround sound enables
you to enjoy movie theater or concert hall quality sound
in your home.
The configuration of the speakers is very important for
the surround sound effect. Refer to “About Home
Theater” on page 16.
Before selecting a listening mode, be sure to complete
the Speaker Setup (See page 32). Once the parameters
have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See
pages 44-45 for information regarding how to select the
listening mode.
Mono
This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is
recorded in monaural or for playing the left and right
channels separately for movies that contain different lan-
guage signals. This mode also allows you to listen to the
multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs and other media that
have them.
Pure Audio
The same as the direct mode except that the pure audio
mode also turns off the display window, turns off the
power supply to the video circuitry (resulting in a
blacked-out screen), and minimizes the sources of noise.
The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the
original source.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
In the Pure Audio mode, if any component video signal
is presented on the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2
jacks, it will be output to the COMPONENT VIDEO
OUTPUT jacks.
Direct
This mode delivers pure sound with minimal sound qual-
ity adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the
right and left front channels is output to the right and left
front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.
Stereo
All input sound is output from the left and right front
speakers.
The subwoofer is also used for playback.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recom-
mended that you have front left and right speakers, a cen-
ter speaker, and surround left and right speakers.
However, if you only have front left and right speakers,
you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that
reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To
receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening posi-
tion (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listen-
ing angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components
are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result,
so be sure to set up your system and listening position to
minimize reflective sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II
As opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four chan-
nels (front left/right, center, and surround) recorded into
two channels with matrix processing and then played
back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feed-
back logic circuit to have 5.1 channel surround audio
(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two chan-
nels and then played back in its original 5.1 channel
form.
Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie Mode designed for
playing movies and a Music Mode designed for listening
to music.
In the Movie Mode, the surround channels, which used
to provide monaural output over only a narrow fre-
quency range, now provide complete stereo output over
the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing
with a realistic feel of movement. This mode can be used
with VHS and DVD videos with the
mark and certain television programs.
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide
a natural soundfield that cannot be provided with normal
stereo output. This mode can be used with music com-
pact discs and other stereo sources.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.
Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maxi-
mum of 5.1 channel surround sound. This source signal
comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark
and therefore are recorded for 5.1 channel output.
Dolby Digital EX
Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks
that were encoded using the Surround EX technology.
DTS Neo:6
This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of sources such as
PCM or analog sources that have only two channels. The
outputs of all six channels have a wide frequency range
with a great separation between the different channels.
This mode can be set to the Cinema Mode designed for
playing movies and the Music Mode designed for listen-
ing to music.
The Cinema Mode is good for movies. The reproduced
surround sound provide the same realistic feel of move-
ment as 6.1 channel sources. This mode can be used with
VHS and television programs with stereo sound.
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide
a natural sound space that cannot be provided with nor-
mal stereo output. This mode can be used with music
CDs and other stereo sources.
DTS
This mode is used for playing DTS sources.
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data
with a maximum 5.1 channel surround output (6.1 channel
with DTS-ES Discrete sources) that allows for an
extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a
DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from
DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the mark.
Listening Modes
43
Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
DTS-ES Discrete
With the addition of the surround back channel, this
new format has all 6.1 channels recorded indepen-
dently for a completely discrete digital format. Since
all channels are recorded independently, high-fidel-
ity surround playback with an increased feeling of a
separated sound space is achieved.
DTS-ES Matrix
This format has the surround back channel matrix
encoded and inserted into the left and right surround
channels so that at playback the output for the left,
right, and back surround channels are decoded using
a high-precision matrix decoder.
DTS 96/24
Automatically changes to this mode when playing
back sources with surround tracks that were encoded
using the DTS 96/24 technology.
THX
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies
established by the world-renowned film production com-
pany, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’
personal desire to make your experience of the film
soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home the-
ater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back
in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions.
This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto
LD, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for play-
back in a small home theater environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
translate accurately the sound from the movie theater
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spa-
tial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX
indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in
Cinema Modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
THX Cinema
This is the conventional 5.1 channel THX format.
This mode should be used only when playing back
sources that were mixed for playback in large movie
theater environments.
THX Surround EX
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX”
is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the
THX division of THX Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technol-
ogy are able to reproduce an extra channel which has
been added during the mixing of the program. This
channel, called Surround Back, places sounds
behind the listener in addition to the currently avail-
able front left, front center, front right, surround
right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for
more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings
more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localiza-
tion than ever before.
When released to the home consumer market, mov-
ies that were created using the Dolby Digital Sur-
round EX technology, may have a note to that effect
on the packaging. A list of movies created using this
technology can be found on the Dolby web site at
http://www.dolby.com.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E can play the 5.1 chan-
nel sources in THX surround EX mode, even if the
source is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX
format. In this case, the sound actually output from
the surround back channels depends on the source
and may not fit your tastes.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural record-
ing such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel
delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the
other channels deliver the center-channel sound pro-
cessed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows
you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a
movie theater.
Enhance
This mode reproduces a natural surround environment
by using seven speaker channels. The sound effects
move smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is
good for music and TV sports programs.
Orchestra
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music.
The center channel is cut and the surround channels are
emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate
the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds,
vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo
image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would
experience in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively
sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that
simulates the feeling of being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that
are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire sur-
round sound and clarity of the conversation.
All Ch Stereo
This mode is designed for playing background music.
The front, surround, and surround back channels create
a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Listening to Radio Broadcasts
One of the features of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E that
is most frequently used is its ability to play FM and AM
broadcast radio stations. The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
provides a number of listening modes perfect for listen-
ing to the radio and getting the most out of your audio
system. Also, by presetting radio stations that you listen
to frequently, you can select them easily by pressing the
CH button on the remote controller.
The tuner frequency changes in 100 kHz (50 kHz)
increments for FM and 10 kHz (or 9 kHz) increments
for AM.
You can press the TUNING or button continu-
ously for more than 0.5 seconds to scan for an FM sta-
tion in the direction of the button you pressed (FM
auto tuning mode). After you release the button and a
station is received in stereo, the scanning stops.
The European model allows you to receive RDS
broadcasts. See pages 48 and 49 for more information
regarding tuning into RDS broadcasts.
Listening to a stereo radio station (FM mode)
When you tune into a radio station,
TUNED
indicator appears in the dis-
play. If you tune into an FM station in ste-
reo, then “FM STEREO” appears. If the
signal is weak, it may be impossible to tune
into the station in stereo. In such a case,
press the FM MODE button
on the front
panel. The AUTO indication disappears
and the radio station is output in the mon-
aural mode. To return to stereo, press the
FM MODE button again. “AUTO” appears.

Listening to RDS Broadcasts (European models only)
RDS reception is available only on the European model
and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM
broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most
European countries. Many FM broadcasting stations
now transmit the RDS signals, which provide the addi-
tional information required. RDS provides you with var-
ious services so that you can choose a station that
broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or
other information.
There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts.
Though they can be tuned into by using the Tuning but-
tons as normal stations, RDS broadcasts allow you to
scan for stations of the type and classification for which
you are looking. This makes it much easier for you to
find the station you want (See “Performing a PTY Scan”
and “Performing a TP Scan” on page 49). The three main
classifications are explained below.
RT: Radio Text
When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is
selected, the text information received from the station is
displayed.
PTY: Program Type
When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is
selected, the station type (classification) is displayed.
TP: Traffic Program
When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is
selected, traffic information will be broadcasted periodi-
cally.
Notes:
In some cases, the characters displayed on the display
of the TX-NR801E may not be exactly the same as the
ones broadcast by the radio station. Also, unusual
characters may appear on the display if the
TX-NR801E receives characters that cannot be dis-
played correctly. This is not a malfunction.
When an RDS station broadcasting PS information is
selected, the name of the station is displayed instead
of the frequency.
The text given in parenthesis is what is actually dis-
played on the TX-NR801E.
None (NONE):
No program type.
News reports (NEWS):
Reports on current events and happenings.
Current affairs (AFFAIRS):
Topical reporting of current affairs, often with a wider
range of topics than news reports.
Information (INFO):
General information such as weather forecasts, con-
sumer affairs, medical help, etc.
Sports (SPORT):
Live sports action, sports news, and interviews.
Education (EDUCATE):
Formal educational programs.
Drama (DRAMA):
Radio plays and serials.
Culture (CULTURE):
Cultural programs (including religious affairs).
Science and technology (SCIENCE):
Programs about the natural sciences and technology.
Varied (VARIED):
Speech-based programs not covered by the above cate-
gories (e.g., quizzes, panel games, and comedy).
Pop music (POP M):
Popular commercial music, usually from past or present
sales charts (e.g., Top 40).
Rock music (ROCK M):
Popular music with an alternative appeal, often not
appearing on sales charts.
Middle of the road music (M.O.R. M):
Easy listening music (as opposed to Pop, Rock, or Clas-
sical).
Light classics (LIGHT M):
Classical music for general rather than specialist appre-
ciation.
Serious classics (CLASSICS):
Performances of major orchestral works, symphonies,
chamber music, etc. (including Grand Opera).
Other music (OTHER M):
Music styles not covered by the above categories (e.g.,
Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Country, and Reggae).
Alarm (ALARM):
When an RDS station is making an emergency broad-
cast, this ALARM will flash on the display.

Recording a Source
This method outputs to the audio and video outputs the
currently selected input source signal. This method
allows you to record a signal while you are actually lis-
tening to or watching it.
Notes:
If you change the input source during recording, you will
record the signals from the newly selected input source.
You cannot record the surround effects.
Digital signals input to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) and
DIGITAL IN (OPT) inputs will be output to the DIG-
ITAL OUT (OPT) output. However, MP3, WMA,
WAV, and other music formats played using Net Audio
are only output as analog audio.
Digital input signals are only output to the digital out-
puts and analog input signals are only output from the
analog outputs. There is no conversion from digital to
analog or vice versa. When connecting CD players
and other digital components, do not connect only the
digital terminals, but the analog ones as well.
There are some restrictions on recording digital sig-
nals. When making digital recordings, consult the
instruction manual that came with your digital record-
ing equipment (e.g., MD recorder or DAT deck) to
know what restrictions are imposed.
You cannot record the source connected to the MULTI
CH INPUT connector.
When listening to music in the remote zone, you can
record the music or video that is being played in the
main zone.
If you select FM (or AM) with the TUNER input
source button when the recording source is set to AM
(or FM), the output for the recording source also
changes to AM (or FM).
Follow the procedure given below to record an input
source signal different from that which you are listening
to or watching at the time of recording.
Notes:
Be aware that the remote (Zone 2) and recording
(REC OUT) outputs use the same circuit and therefore
cannot be used at the same time.
You cannot record the surround effects.
Digital signals input to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) and
DIGITAL IN (OPT) inputs will be output to the DIG-
ITAL OUT (OPT) outputs.
There are some restrictions on recording digital sig-
nals. When making digital recordings, consult the

This sub-menu allows you to adjust for the volume dif-
ferences between your various input source components.
When switching input sources, you may find that the
output level for different components or input sources
connected to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is different
even though the main volume setting is the same. Under
normal circumstances, you would then have to change
the volume setting each time you change the input
source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a
volume level for each input source separately so that
when you do switch from one input source to another,
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E adjusts the volume accord-
ingly and the volume stays the same.

Audio Adjust (Basic)—Continued
This sub-menu is used to turn on and off the various sound
effects available with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
a. Re-EQ
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness”
out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact
that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when
played back through speakers in the home environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.
You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller
for setting “On” or “Off.
b. Upsampling
Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the dig-
ital signal converted from an analog input source, and
converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its cur-
rent frequency for an even further detailed sound repro-
duction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When
“On” is selected, the UPSAMPLING indicator lights.
c. Double Bass
The Double Bass function boosts the bass sound by letting
the bass sound of “Front” speakers output also from the sub-
woofer. To enable this function, in the “Speaker Config”
menu, set the “Subwoofer” to “Yes” and “Front” to “Large.
On: Select to turn on the Double Bass function.
Off: Select to turn off the Double Bass function.
Note:
Double Bass “Off” is the THX preferred setting for accu-
rate bass reproduction.
d. Late Night
The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large
dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises
and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as
background noises or human conversations, the movie must
be played back at higher volumes. When this setting is set
to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is nar-
rowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sounds at
low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish
to play a movie at a low volume during the nighttime.
This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.
However, when the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E enters the
standby state, this setting returns to the default setting (“Off”).
Notes:
The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby
Digital encoded software.
The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by
Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may
produce little or no effect.
Settings possible for each listening mode (3-1. 3-2. 3-3. Sub-menu)

Input Setup (Advanced)
With the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, you can set a different
listening mode for each different signal type that comes
from each input source. For example, if your DVD player
also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is
Dolby Digital and the compact disc signal is PCM, then
you can set a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the
same types of movies or music.
Once the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E enters the standby
state, the listening mode returns to the mode set at “Lis-
tening Mode Preset,” even after you changed the listen-
ing mode to a different listening mode while playing.
The illustrations used here represent the remote control-
ler. When you perform the procedures on the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, use the corresponding buttons
on the front panel.
a. Analog/PCM
Analog sources consist of LP records, FM and AM
broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the like. PCM (Pulse
Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signal and
is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs with-
out compression.
Available listening modes for “Analog/PCM” are Stereo,
T-D, PL II/Neo:6, THX, Mono Movie, Enhance, Orches-
tra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic, All Ch Stereo,
Mono, Pure Audio, and Direct.
b. PCM fs=96k
Digital PCM sources recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.
Available listening modes for “PCM fs=96k” are Stereo,
PL II, Pure Audio, and Direct.

Audio Adjust (Advanced)—Continued
a. A/V Sync
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be
times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD
player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where
the sound and picture do not match and the sound is
heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to prop-
erly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be
set between 0 and 74.0 ms in 0.5 ms increments. Under
normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If the delay
time is set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, and upsampling is
used, the delay will be fixed at 24.0 ms. Note that a
change in the setting will not be displayed.
Relative Delay
b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back
Besides level and delay adjustments, this setting provides
the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position
to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accom-
plished using Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Position-
ing Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds
of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving
the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This adjustment is set
up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6 feet/–1.2
or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position.
Once the coarse adjustments (i.e., speaker level and distance
adjustments) are made, the system is set up to provide a typ-
ical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative
position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to
be more spread out (deeper) or focused (shallower).
Note:
Surr Back cannot be selected if the Surr Back/Zone 2
setting in the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hard-
ware Setup Menu is set to “Zone 2.
This sub-menu is for setting the LFE (Low Frequency
Effect) levels included in Dolby Digital and DTS software.
a. Dolby Digital
The level can be adjusted to either – or between –10 and
0 decibels in 1 decibel increments. For Dolby Digital input
source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A setting of
0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance;
however, if the source is recorded with the low frequency
range too strong, lower this setting as necessary.
b. DTS
The level can be adjusted to either – or between –10
and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For DTS input
source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A setting
of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance;
however, if the source is recorded with the low frequency
range too strong, lower this setting as necessary.
Mono Sub-menu
The settings of this sub-menu shown below are enabled
when the listening mode is set to “Mono.
a. Academy Filter
Older monaural film mixes relied on high-frequency
rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so
that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film
would not be heard. The high-frequency loss was typi-
cally due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical
filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some
films have been transferred to video without such a high-
frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E includes this “Academy
Filter,” which is based on contemporary playback prac-
tices for such films over wide-range systems.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.
b. Input Channel
This allows you to set which input channel to use for
monaural sound.
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When
the input source is center channel, this center channel is
used as the monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the
left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is
used as the monaural sound input channel.
Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right
when playing a video source that contains bilingual data.
In such a case, the left and right channels will contain the
audio for different languages. Select the channel with the
language you desire.

Theater-Dimensional Sub-menu
Select this to modify the Theater-Dimensional (T-D) listening
modes.
a. Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front
left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The pro-
cessing for the virtual surround will be based on this
angle. The setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nom-
inal purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your
actual listening angle.
b. Center
In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system
has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be
output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of
the center speaker may provide a better sound space and
reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper
soundfield, it is important that the speaker levels and
speaker distances among the front right, front left, and
center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this,
make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Sub-
menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)
On: Select to have the center channel signal output
to the center speaker.
Off: Select to have the center channel signal output
to the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).
c. Front Expander
The front expander function spreads out the stereo image
in front of the listener. The created stereo image is as if
the front speakers have been farther apart for the feeling
of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for nar-
row listening angles of 20 degrees or less.
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to
simulate a wider sound space.
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for
a normal sound space.
d. Virtual Surr Level
This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround sig-
nal. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this
setting can improve the sound when the definition is
unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.
e. Dialog Enhance
If the dialog from the center channel is difficult to hear
in the Theater-Dimensional mode, use this setting to
improve the clarity.
On: Select to enhance the vocal ranges of the center
channel signal.
Off: Select to output the center channel signal at the
regular level and frequency characteristics.
Surround Sub-menu
This sub-menu provides various settings for modifying
the plain Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic II Surround
listening modes.
a. Surr Mode (Analog/PCM)

c. Dolby Digital EX (Dolby D)
If you have surround back speakers connected, use this
setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX
playback.
Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for
Surround EX), the playback is automatically
changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no
EX flag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.
On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.
Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.
If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have
a surround channel, then the playback will be normal
Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.
You can easily change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital
source, after displaying the current listening mode with a
press of the SURROUND button, each press of the SUR-
ROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes
the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,
and “Off.
d. DTS-ES
This setting selects the DTS-ES mode.
Auto: Select to have the listening mode change auto-
matically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID sig-
nal for DTS-ES). If the DTS source has no DTS-ES
flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.
On: Select to have the listening mode change automati-
cally to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix when the
DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS + Neo:6
when the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag.
Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this
setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS
5.1 mode.
You can also easily change the DTS-ES mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source,
after displaying the current listening mode with a press
of the SURROUND button, each press of the SUR-
ROUND button on the remote controller cyclically
changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,
and “Off.
e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to
include the surround speakers for an exciting wrap-
around effect with side wall imaging.
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.
f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield for-
ward or backward. It varies between 0 and 6 in steps of
1 and the default value is 3.
The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the set-
ting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward and
setting to “4” or higher to move the sound space backward.
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or a too strong
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the
appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording
feels somewhat like monaural or has narrowness, move
the sound space backward to get more surroundness.
g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width
In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from
the center speaker. When the center speaker is not used,
the decoder will divide the center signal equally to both
the front left and right speakers to create a “phantom”
center sound image.
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you
to adjust from where the center sound image is heard.
Using this, you can have the soundfield be heard from
the center speaker only, from the front left and right
speakers only (as a phantom center sound image), or
from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in
various level combinations. The soundfield varies
between 0 and 7 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.
For home use, applying some width to the center signal
will improve the level balance for the center and main
speakers, and will effect the width of the center sound
image, or “weight” of the sound. Many sound recordings
processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better
by proper control of this setting. The recommended set-
ting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows you
to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from
the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automati-
cally set to “0.
h. Center Image
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from 2 channel
PCM and analog sources.
In the cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds
steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right
channels.
In the music mode, the intent in the front channels is less
one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front
image by augmenting it with a center channel, while pre-
serving the original perspective of the stereo mix. There-
fore, the derived center is never fully subtracted from the
left and right channels.
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of sub-
traction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the
default value is 3.
When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is
subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center
Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left
and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel.
The signal level sent to the center channel output is not
affected by Center Image.
This control should be set based on room layout and per-
sonal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right
channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix.
A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance,
which is particularly desirable if listeners are located
well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker
anchors the image.
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is
DTS Neo:6 Music.

Audio Adjust (Advanced)—Continued
THX Sub-menu
This sub-menu allows you to set the settings that will be
enabled when the THX listening mode is selected.
a. Re-EQ (THX)
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “bright-
ness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for
the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too
bright when played back through speakers in the home
environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off”.
You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller
for setting “On” or “Off.
This setting returns to the default setting (“On”) when
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E enters the standby state.
b. Decoder (2ch)
This setting allows you to select the decoding mode for
THX processing.
PLII Movie: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.

You can also easily change the Decoder mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing the analog or
PCM source, each press of the THX button on the remote
controller switches the listening modes between “PLII
Movie” and “Neo:6 Cinema.
c. THX Surround EX (Dolby D)
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Dig-
ital sources will be played back using THX Surround EX
when a surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Select to automatically output sources with
EX-identifying signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Select to output using THX Surround EX
regardless of whether or not the source contains EX
identifiers.
Off: Select not to output using THX Surround EX
regardless of whether or not the source contains EX
identifiers (Dolby D is used).
You can also easily change the THX Surround EX mode
settings using the remote controller. While playing a
Dolby Digital source, after pressing the THX button,
each press of the THX button on the remote controller
cyclically changes the THX Surround EX mode in the
order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.
d. DTS-ES
This setting allows you to select the DTS-ES mode for
THX processing.
Auto: Select to have the listening mode change auto-
matically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID sig-
nal for DTS-ES). If the DTS source has no DTS-ES
flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.
On: Select to have the listening mode change auto-
matically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to
DTS + Neo: 6 when the DTS source has no DTS-ES
flag.
Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this
setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS
5.1 mode.
You can also easily change the DTS-ES mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source,
after pressing the THX button, each press of the THX

Sub-menu of Speaker Setup menu is set to “None.
Mono Movie/Enhance/Orchestra/Unplugged/
Studio Mix /TV Logic Sub-menu
The settings of these sub-menus become effective when
any of the Mono Movie, Enhance, Orchestra,
Unplugged, Studio-Mix, or TV Logic listening modes
are selected. When one of the listening modes is
selected, the settings in the sub-menu of that listening
mode become enabled.
a. Front Effect
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation.
When you play these sources, more reverberation will be
applied by the DSP, creating too many reverb effects and
the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this
setting to “Off” so that no reverberation from the DSP
will be applied to the sound output from the three front
channels. With this setting, the sound source is played as
it is without any further reverberation.
b. Reverb Level

Preference (Advanced)
The “Preference” menu allows you to perform
miscellaneous settings for the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
The illustrations used here represent the remote controller.
When you perform the procedures on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E, use the corresponding buttons on the front
panel.
This sub-menu allows you to make various settings con-
cerning the volume control of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E.
a. Volume Display
You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume
setting on the screen.
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum
of 0 for no sound and a maximum of 100. As a refer-
ence, the volume setting of Ref (82) is equivalent to
0 decibels for the relative display method.
Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel
value on a scale with a designated reference point
that is displayed as 0, which equals the volume set-
ting of 82 of the absolute display method. With this
display method, the minimum value is –, the next
highest is –81, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Muting Level
This sets the attenuation level during playback when the
MUTING button is pressed on the remote controller.
This can be set to –, or between –50 and –10 decibels
in 10 decibel increments.
c. Maximum Volume
This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that
can be output with the MASTER VOLUME dial. Setting
a maximum volume allows you to prevent components
from being damaged by excessively loud volumes. For
the absolute volume display method, this can be set
between 50 and 99. For the relative volume display
method, this can be set between –32 and +17 decibels.
To not set a maximum volume, select “Off.
d. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume to which the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E will be set every time that the power is
turned on. This prevents the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
from suddenly outputting very loud sounds if it is turned
on while it is set to an extremely high volume. For the
absolute volume display method, this can be set between
0 and 100. For the relative volume display method, this
can be set to –, or between –81 and +18 decibels. To
have the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E turned on with its cur-
rent volume setting, set this to “Last.

Enjoying Music in the Remote Zone
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E allows you to watch and
listen to two separate input sources at the same time.
This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a
television in two different rooms so that two or more
people can enjoy two different movies at the same time.
The room where the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is actually
located is referred to as the main room while the separate
room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addi-
tion, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E allows you to control the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the
remote controller even though the remote zone is physi-
cally separated.
Note:
ZONE 2 is analog only. Digital signals are not output.
If no sound is heard from the selected input source,
check if the component is connected to the analog
inputs.
When you use the 5.1 channel speaker system for the
main room, the unused terminals for the surround back
speaker or the surround back pre out can be used for the
remote zone (Zone 2). Use the SURR BACK/ZONE 2
SPEAKERS terminals when you want to connect the
speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) directly to the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. Use the SURR BACK/ZONE
2 PREOUT terminals when you want to connect the
power amplifier or pre-main amplifier for dynamic
sound.

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E from a remote location, you
will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold sepa-
rately) such as one of those given below:
Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote
Controller Extension System)
Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such
as those from Niles
®
and Xantech
®
If the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is located inside a
cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from
the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with
the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case,
it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a
location outside of the cabinet that the infrared rays from
the controller can reach.
With this connection, select “Main” for the
Hardware Setup Remote Setup Position in the
Setup Menu (See page 31).
The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the
remote controller even though the remote zone may be
on the other side of the building from the main zone. The
diagram below shows how to make the proper
connections for the remote zone.
With this connection, select “Zone 2” for the
Hardware Setup Remote Setup Position in the
Setup Menu (See page 31).
Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug in any
equipment to the power outlet until all the connections
are complete.
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially
available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR
emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E and then place the IR emitter on the remote
sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR
emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN
terminal is output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal
input from the remote sensor on the front of the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E will not be output to the IR
OUT terminal.

Enjoying Net Audio
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is a network audio cli-
ent that, connected via a LAN to a PC, allows you to
enjoy music files saved on the PC, as well as Internet
radio, from anywhere in your home.
Internet radio features
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E provides enhanced sup-
port for Internet radio and allows you to:
Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from
Internet radio stations
Select stations by genre, location, or language
Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations
Net-Tune Features
The Net-Tune Central is software that distributes music
files stored on PC through a LAN to the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E plays distributed music
data whenever you need it.
*This software is available from Onkyo’s websites.
US
http://www.onkyousa.com/net-tune/
Europe
http://www.onkyo.net/net-tune
Japan
http://www.onkyo.co.jp/
Asia, Oceania, and Central and South America
http://www.onkyo-intl.com/
In connecting Net-Tune Central and the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E, the standard TCP/IP network protocol
and the Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol are used for
music distribution through a LAN. The NTSP protocol
handles not only data for the music itself but also addi-
tional music information, including the name of tracks
and artists, thus enabling high usability.
In addition to the music distribution server function,
Net-Tune Central can automatically retrieve music files
stored on a PC to register them easily with the Net-Tune
Central database.
Net-Tune Central supports WAVE (PCM), MP3 and
WMA formats. The WAVE format has high sound qual-
ity (equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3
format is widely used in the Internet environment and
has near-CD quality with compression. The WMA for-
mat, developed by Microsoft
®
, also has near-CD quality
and uses a higher compression rate.
Editable music library
With the Net-Tune Central software, you can edit music
titles, artist names, genre names, and so on, while you
can also create new genre names, for all music files
saved on the PC’s hard disks.
Net-Tune Central also provides this information with
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, allowing you to select
tracks more easily on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
Hints:
File Format:
MP3/WMA (Approximately 1 MB for 1
minute)
WAVE (Approximately 10 MB for 1 minute)
* How much free space is actually required also
depends somewhat on such factors as the format and
residual space on your hard disk, and the bit rate at
which you make recordings.
* Depending on the MP3 encoder you use, your
recorded file may not be playable, or the music will
be degraded by noise, or will generate unpleasant
sounds.
Also note that no WMA format file with copyright pro-
tection enabled is playable on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E
Requirements for listening to both Internet radio sta-
tions and music files saved on the music server
Modem
(a device that provides Internet connections
via leased lines; e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem,
terminal adapter)
* To have access to Internet, you typically need to con-
tract with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem
requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed
information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.
Router (gateway)
(a device that enables multiple
PCs or devices to connect to the Internet simulta-
neously)
An IP address can be obtained automatically by using
the router’s DHCP function.
* Some routers have built-in modem functionality.
Router requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for
detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC
retailer.

You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to
Internet radio, depending on the ISP you choose. If
your PC is configured to use a proxy server for Inter-
net access, theTX-NR801/TX-NR801E must also be
configured the same way. For more information, see
“Proxy Setup Sub-menu” (See page 73).
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is designed to take
advantage of the DHCP and AutoIP functionality,
thereby automatically configuring the network set-
tings. If you opt not to use the DHCP and AutoIP
functionality, you should manually configure the net-
work settings. For more information, see “a. DHCP/
AUTO IP” (See page 73).
To enjoy music on Internet Radio, it is assumed that
you have a broadband Internet connection on which
you can successfully run a web browser. If you have
any problem in connecting to the Internet, consult
with your ISP.
Plug one end of an Ethernet CAT-5 cable into the port
on the backside of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E and the
other end into the gateway.
Hint:
Connecting more than one TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
unit to a router enables several users to listen to Internet
radio at different stations or different music pieces con-
tained in the same library on the PC.

Enjoying Net Audio
—Continued
Before you can use the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E to play
music contained in the music library on the Net-Tune
server and listen to Internet radio, you must correctly
configure the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s network set-
tings so that it can connect to your LAN and the Internet.
It is strongly recommended to use a broadband connec-
tion (via an xDSL or CATV leased line) and a router. If
you are connected to the Internet via a narrowband dial-
up connection, you may not be able to enjoy Internet
radio as you expect or at all.
Before setting up the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, make sure
that you are already using a router that provides Internet
access and that the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is correctly
connected with your router or hub via a LAN cable.
For more information on Internet connectivity, consult
with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the
router documentation.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
and
AutoIP
are mechanisms for network configuration,
which assign IP addresses automatically to network
devices such as the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, PC, and
broadband router.
DNS (Domain Name System)
is a mechanism which
translates domain names into IP addresses or vice versa.
Domain names such as www.onkyo.co.jp are used for

Operating Onkyo Products Using the Remote
Controller
The RC-511M remote controller is a useful tool that can
not only operate the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, but also all
the other components of your home theater as well. To
operate any component, first press the Mode button on the
remote controller that corresponds to the component that
you wish to control. Then simply press the desired opera-
tion button and the component will operate accordingly.
To operate a digital satellite tuner, cable, VCR, or televi-
sion with the remote controller, first program the signal to
the button.
There are two methods. One method is selecting the
name of a different brand from the table, entering the
setting number listed, and calling up the pre-program-
ming code (See page 83). The other method is sending
the commands from the other brand’s remote control
directly into this remote controller (See pages 86-87).
Connecting your -compatible Onkyo CD player,
MD recorder, DVD player, or cassette recorder to the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E via allows you to control
your system with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E’s remote
controller by pointing it at the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
This allows you to control components that are out of
sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since you don’t have to
enter any special codes, or do any programming,
allows you to control these components quickly and
easily. See page 26 for connection information.
Note:
To use the function, you must make an connec-
tion and an analog RCA/phono connection between the
AV component and your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, even
if they are connected digitally.

Operating Other Manufacturers Devices Using
the Remote Controller
The remote controller has three learning functions. One
is entering the pre-programmed code for a remote con-
troller of another manufacturer. Another is the normal
learning function that enables the remote controller to
learn the codes directly from other remote controllers
(See page 86). And the last is a macro learning function
that enables you to program a series of operations into
the remote controller so that the operations can all be
performed at once by pressing one button (See page 88).
By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the
RC-511M remote controller operate a component made
by another manufacturer. The buttons that are used for
operation are given on pages 84-85.
Caution
With some brand’s components, some buttons may not
work correctly. In this case, program the command
directly from the other remote controller normally (See
page 86).
When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players:
There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SET-
TING number according to how you will be using the
DVD player.
No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Onkyo
DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly
at it, either because it does not have an terminal, or
it does but you are not connecting it with an cable.
First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly, enter
613.
No. 600: This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have
an terminal that you are connecting to the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E with an cable. You will
then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote
controller at the remote control sensor on the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. You do not need to enter this
code because it is factory preset. However, if the code
has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to
change it back to 600.

Letting the Remote Controller Learn the Codes
from Other Remote Controllers
When programming the commands of another remote
controller to the RC-511M remote controller, you must
first decide under to which MODE button you want the
commands to be linked. In general, you will select the
MODE button that corresponds to the component you are
programming. For example, if you are programming the
functions from a remote controller for a compact disc
player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then,
by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-
511M remote controller will change to the commands
you program here to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you
will then transfer the separate commands from the other
remote controller over to the RC-511M remote control-
ler one at a time. Each command is then programmed to
a different button on the RC-511M remote controller.
Any button is programmable for this step except for the
eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/MD,
NET A, TV, VCR, and CABLE), the two MACRO but-
tons (1 and 2), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep
your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some rea-
son the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run
down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.
Programming Procedure

transfer the next command.
You may select any button excluding the eleven
ones indicated in the figure below. When you
press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator
turns off. When you release the button, the indica-
tor lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press
that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indi-
cator flashes twice, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode.
4
Press and hold down the button (that cor-
responds to the command you are pro-
gramming) on the remote controller of the
other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp
on the remote controller ashes twice.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indica-
tor will light again.
5

Letting the Remote Controller Learn the Codes from Other Remote
Controllers—Continued
Notes:
The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc
players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini
disc recorder have already been programmed into
buttons on the remote controller. You may, however,
use these buttons to program the codes for other
remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo
preset codes after you program new codes, you must
first erase the new codes (See this page).
The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8
modes × 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may
have more commands than can be remembered by the
remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary
for you to determine which commands are more
important to you.
If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three
times and turns off, then the remote controller has
exited the programming mode because either you
have made a mistake during programming or a time-
out has occurred because no button was pressed.
Resume from Step 2.
If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of
the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Try programming
under a different MODE button.
When you want to program a command to a button to
which you have already programmed a command, sim-
ply follow the same procedure given and the previous
programming for that button will be overwritten.
The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its
commands, as do most other remote controllers.
Though most remote controller codes can be memo-
rized by the remote controller, be aware that some
remote controllers use systems that are quite different
from the remote controller and therefore may not be
able to be programmed.
Some remote controllers have a single button that
performs multiple functions (for example, the func-
tion may change each time the button is pressed). If
this is the case, each function must be programmed to
a separate button on the remote controller.
Once you have transferred the commands from the
other remote controller, refer to the instruction man-
ual that came with that product for instructions on
how to operate that product.
Make sure both the remote controller and the other
remote controller have new batteries. If either of them
has batteries that are low, you may not be able to pro-
gram the commands of the other remote controller
properly into the remote controller.
Erasing the programmed command from one
button
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.
Note:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during
the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller
exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
Erasing all the commands programmed under a
MODE button
Notes:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur-
ing the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indica-
tor flashes three times quickly and the remote
controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you perform an invalid operation during erasing,
the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing
mode. Resume from Step 1.
If many commands have been programmed to the
MODE button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator
may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2.
This is not a malfunction.
1
Press and hold down the MODE button for
the command, press the ENTER/ZONE 2
button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights. When you press the
ENTER/ZONE 2 button, the lamp turns off. When
you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.
2
Press and release the button for the com-
mand you wish to erase.
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator turns off. When you release the button,
the lamp lights again.
3
Press and release the same button again.
The SEND/LEARN lamp slowly flashes twice.
The memorized command is erased.
1
Press and hold down the desired MODE
button, press the ENTER/ZONE 2 button
twice, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights. When you press the
ENTER/ZONE 2 button, the lamp turns off.
When you release the buttons, the lamp slowly
flashes twice and then lights again.
2
Press and release the same MODE button
again.
When you release the button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator slowly flashes twice. This erases all the
commands memorized to the MODE button.
88
Using the Macro Function
What is the macro function?
A macro function enables you to program a series of
button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller
into a single button. The series of operations are then
called a macro. For example, to play a compact disc
player connected to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E nor-
mally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback ( ) button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above
five operations by only pressing one button.
Tips:
If you erase or change the command of a button pro-
grammed in the macro, that operation of that button
will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will
be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order
to avoid incorrect operation.
The codes programmed into the macro will be trans-
mitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some
devices may not be able to complete one operation in
0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case,
after pressing one operation button, you can press the
same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between
the two operations.
With the macro function, you can program a series of
button operations as a macro into the MACRO button so
the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note
that for the macro function, only two macros can be
programmed. For example, to program the macro
described above on this page for the MACRO button,
perform the steps given below.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into the
macro function. If you try to program a 17th opera-
tion, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.
If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three
times and turns off, then the remote controller has
exited the programming mode because either you
have made a mistake during programming or a time-
out has occurred because no button was pressed.
Resume from Step 1.

89
Using the Macro Function—Continued
Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that
you have programmed into the remote controller. After
programming the macro, you should always run it at
least once to make sure that it has been programmed
properly.
Erasing a macro from the MACRO 1 (or 2) button
Notes:
If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three
times and turns off, then the remote controller has
exited the erasing mode because either you have
made a mistake during erasing or a time-out has
occurred because no button was pressed. Resume
from Step 1.
If you press a button other than MACRO 1 (or 2) but-
ton in Step 2, then you will in effect be overwriting
the previous macro with a new macro.
Erasing all commands and macros that have
been programmed
This procedure will erase all the commands and macros
that you have programmed into the remote controller
and return it to its default settings. This operation will
not affect the preset settings of the remote controller.
All programmed commands and macros are erased and
the remote controller returns to its factory presets.
Notes:
Proceed to Step 3 immediately after Step 2; other-
wise, the batteries will be consumed quickly.
If you press any button other than the ENTER/ZONE
2 button in Step 3, nothing will be erased. In this
case, resume from Step 1.
