Precautions
1. Recording Copyright
—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse
—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care
—Occasionally you should dust the unit 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 unit immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-
tering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
Some models have a voltage selector switch for
compatibility with power systems around the world.
Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the
voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your
area. Before you plug in this model, make sure that
the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for
your area. If it isn’t, use a small screwdriver to set it
as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your
area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” If it’s
between 220 and 240 volts, set it to “220-240V.
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—
Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo
dealer.
6. Handling Notes
If you need to transport this unit, use the original
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-
nally bought it.
Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit
for a long time, because they may leave marks on
the case.
This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm
after prolonged use. This is normal.
If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so
be sure to use it occasionally.

Precautions
—Continued
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by
qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal 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
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same
ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for
the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable
fuse in the plug.

Speaker Set A: Main Room
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor
for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level,
and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the
front left and right speakers,
making sound movements
distinct and providing a full
sound image. For movies it’s
used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV
facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height
as the front left and right
speakers.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound
positioning and to add realistic ambience. Posi-
tion them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear
level. Ideally they should be equally spaced
from the listener.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the
bass sounds of the LFE (Low-
Frequency Effects) channel. In
general, a good bass sound
can be obtained by installing
the subwoofer in a front corner,
or at one-third the way along
the wall, as shown.

Remote Controller
Notes:
If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
When using the remote controller, point it toward the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.
Notes:
The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in
mind when installing.
If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-
ler may not work reliably.
Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,
such as a book or magazine, because a button may be
pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.
The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-
cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control
sensor.

Connecting Your Speakers
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con-
nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should
use based on the number of speakers that you have.
*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to
the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-
woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid
bass.
Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which
speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 34).
To get the very best from your surround-sound system,
you should also set the advanced speaker settings (see
page 55.)
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)
speaker terminals are all black.)
The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you
should attach them to the positive (+) side of each
speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you
need to do then is to match the color of each label to the
corresponding speaker terminal.
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
North American models:
You can connect speakers
with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you
use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the
amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of
time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be acti-
vated.
Other models:
You can connect speakers with an
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the imped-
ance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or
more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum
speaker impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 34). If you
use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the
amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of
time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be acti-
vated.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV
receiver.
Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker termi-
nal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

PRE OUT to it’s input.
Note:
Make sure the plugs are pushed in all the way.
Note:
While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to
5.1-channel playback.
Connecting Speaker Set A
1

Connecting Your Components
Before making any AV connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other AV components.
Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type
covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and
close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution:
To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connec-
tions can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
•To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.

Connecting Your Components
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only
outputs of the same format as the input will output the
signal.
Video Signal Flow Chart
Audio Connection Formats
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog
TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital
input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

Connecting Your Components
—Continued
With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:
Auto Power On/Standby
When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically
turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all compo-
nents connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components connected to an AC
OUTLET on the AV receiver.
Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component
as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to
press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 37), as the Direct Change function only selects the
FRONT DVD IN jacks.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the
remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropri-
ate remote control code first (page 60).
Notes:
Use only cables for connections.
cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD,
CD, etc.).
Some components have two jacks. You can
connect either one to the AV receiver. The other
jack is for connecting additional -capable
components.
Connect only Onkyo components to jacks.
Connecting other manufacturer’s components
may cause a malfunction.
Some components may not support all func-
tions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your
other Onkyo components.
Connect the AV receiver’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.
Notes:
Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
•Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment
on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.
Connecting Onkyo Components
Connecting the Power Cord
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con-
nection in the hookup examples) (see pages 22 to 30).
Step 2: Make the connection.
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or HDD component, change the input Display (see page 33).

Smooth Operation in a Few Easy Steps
To ensure smooth operation, here’s a few easy steps to help you configure the AV receiver before you use it for the
very first time. These settings only need to be made once.
Have you connected a component to a digital audio input?
If you have, see “Assigning Digital Inputs to Input Sources” on
page 33.
Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder,
or next generation HDD-compatible component?
If you have, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 33.
Have you connected any speakers with an impedance of
between 4 and 6 ohms?
If you have, see “Minimum Speaker Impedance Setup” on page 34.
(Not North American models.)
Do the speaker configuration—this is essential!
See “Speaker Configuration” on page 34.

the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1 input (OPT1), you’ll need
to assign it to the DVD input source, as follows.
Note:
Make sure that components connected digitally are con-
figured to output digital audio. Refer to the relevant man-
uals.
If you connect an -capable Onkyo MiniDisc
recorder, CD recorder or next generation HDD-compat-
ible component to the TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 2 IN
jacks, for to work properly, you must change this
setting.
This setting can only be changed on the AV receiver.

Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
DTS-ES Matrix
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix
soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded
back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.
DTS Neo:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 6.1-chan-
nel playback. It uses six full-bandwidth channels of
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience
that fully envelops the listener.
Neo:6 Cinema
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD,
VHS).
Neo:6 Music
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
Dolby Digital + Neo:6
DTS+Neo:6
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-chan-
nel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for
6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with
DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS
logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.
Neural Surround
(North American models only)
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in
surround technology developed for music and is adopted
by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of sur-
round recordings and live events in surround sound.
Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-
domain processing, which allows delivery of a more
detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation
and localization of audio elements. System playback is
scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround playback.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of
a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the
impression of being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire
sound, and clarity to voices.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,
and surround back speakers.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of
where you are within the listening room.

Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.
Input Channel Settings
Multiplex
This setting determines which channel is output from a
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV
broadcasts, and so on.
Main:
The main channel is output (default).
Sub:
The sub channel is output.
M/S:
Both the main and sub channels are output.
Mono (2ch)
This setting determines which channel is output when
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.
L+R:
Both the left and right channels are output
(default).
L:
Only the left channel is output.
R:
Only the right channel is output.
PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings
These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On:
Panorama function on.
Off:
Panorama function off (default).
Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.
It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. Higher settings move the
sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally,
the center channel sound is output by only the center
speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center
channel sound will be distributed to the front left and
right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting
adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you
to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can
be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).
DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting
Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
value is 2). This setting has no effect if no center speaker
is connected.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting
Dolby EX
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.
Auto:
If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode
is used (default).
Manual:
You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby
Digital EX.
Multichannel Subwoofer Setting
SW Sens
On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel
subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can
change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD
player. Note that this setting only affects signals con-
nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan-
nel DVD input.
You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.
If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the
+10 dB or +15 dB setting.
4
Press the [SETUP] button.
Setup closes.

Recording
This section explains how to record the selected input
source to a component with recording capability, and
how to record audio and video from different sources.
You can only record to a component that’s connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
See pages 20–31 for information on connecting your AV
components.
Notes:
•You cannot record from a component that’s connected
to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
The surround sound effects provided by the listening
modes cannot be recorded.
•You cannot record from a component that’s connected
to the multichannel DVD input.
If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig-
nals, so select another mode when recording.
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video
source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder
connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO jack are
recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT
jacks.
1.
Prepare the camcorder and CD player
for playback.
2.
Prepare the VCR for recording.
3.
Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector but-
ton.
4.
Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source, but
leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5.
Start recording on the VCR, then start
playback on the camcorder and CD
player.
Video from the camcorder and audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
Recording the Input Source
1
Use the input selector buttons to
select the component that you
want to record.
Audio signals from the selected input
source are output by the TAPE OUT
and VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
You can listen to the source while
recording. The AV receiver’s VOL-
UME control has no effect on record-
ing.
2
On your recorder, start record-
ing.
3
Start playback on the source
component.
