5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro-
vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not
fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where they exit from the appara-
tus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12.
Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table spec-
ified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use cau-
tion when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer

following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is dam-
aged,
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
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus
through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short-out parts that could result in a

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of
this unit.
17. Batteries
Always consider the environmental issues and fol-
low local regulations when disposing of batteries.
18. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is ade-
quate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides
and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf
or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4")
away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like
gap for warm air to escape.

—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse
— The AC fuse inside the AV receiver is
not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the AV
receiver, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care
—Occasionally you should dust the AV
receiver all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn
stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the AV
receiver immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.
Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other
chemical solvents, because they may damage the
finish 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 AV receiver’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does
not fully shutdown the AV receiver. If you do not intend
to use the AV receiver for an extended period, remove
the power cord from the wall outlet.
For Worldwide model
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 as appropri-
ate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts,
set the selector to “120V.” And if it’s between 220 and
230 volts, set it to “220-230V.”

be used to control that component. To use , you
must make an analog audio connection (RCA)
between the AV receiver and the other AV compo-
nent, even if they are connected digitally.

Remote Controller
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• 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.
To use the remote controller, point it at 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 con-
troller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote con-
trol sensor.

About Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With
analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.
Enjoying Home Theater
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about
ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,
with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of
the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.
The volume and quality of the bass output
from your subwoofer will depend on its posi-
tion, the shape of your listening room, and
your listening position. In general, a good
bass sound can be obtained by installing the
subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third
the width of the wall, as shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your sub-
woofer, while playing a movie or some
music with good bass, experiment by plac-
ing your subwoofer at various positions
within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, and DTS-ES Discrete. They enhance the realism of surround
sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them
behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.
Surround left and right
speakers
These speakers are used for
precise sound positioning and
to add realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of
the listener, or slightly behind,
about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)
above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the
listener.
21
Connecting the AV Receiver
• 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-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (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.

Speaker Configuration
For the best surround sound experience, you should con-
nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table indicates the channels you should
use depending 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.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied
setup microphone (see page 39).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left
and right
dipole
speakers should be positioned so that their
arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround
back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so
that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on your powered sub-
woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and
you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on the amp.
Attaching the Speaker Labels
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. Then
all you need to do is to match the color of each label to
the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•
North American model only:
Only connect speakers
with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use
speakers with a lower impedance, and use the ampli-
fier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the
built-in protection circuit may be activated.
•
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 Mini-
mum Speaker Impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 44).
If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use
the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of
time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to 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.
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two
surround speakers to the SURROUND SPEAKERS
terminals. Do not connect them to the SURROUND
BACK SPEAKERS terminals.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV
receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the
wire does not have contact with
the TX-SR603/603E/8360’s
rear panel. Doing so may dam-
age the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect
it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS termi-
nals.
1
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)
of insulation from the
ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
2
Unscrew the terminal.
3
Fully insert the bare
wires.
4
Screw the terminal tight.

Connecting the AV Receiver
—Continued
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 25).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).
Connecting Antenna
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
■
North American Model
■
Other Models
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power
cords.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door 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 from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.
■
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 cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
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 antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate 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, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any one of the following video connection for-
mats: composite video, S-Video, or component video,
the latter offering the best picture quality.
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be
converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to
composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT
jacks, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S
jacks.
Note:
The TX-SR603/603E/8360 can be set to upcon-
vert composite video and S-Video input signals and
output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see
page 44).
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any of the following audio connection formats:
analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between them. For
example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT.

Note:
Measurement may not be performed correctly depend-
ing on your use environment. If the measurement results
remain unchanged after retried, create speaker settings
manually (see pages 46-51).
Tip:
When any amplifier-builtin subwoofer is connected, its
sound may not be detected with the automatic speaker
settings because the sound is generated from the low
position with very low frequencies. If the subwoofer
(SW) is specified as “Not Detect” in the measurement
results confirmation screen, turn the volume up to an
appropriate level and the frequency as high as it can go.
And then turn on the Direct switch, if available. For fur-
ther information, see the manual for the subwoofer.
(Menus vary depending on country)
*
When a speaker has a warning, its abbrevia-
tion (e.g., L, R, and so on) appears.
Not Detect:
No speaker was detected. Make sure
the connection is secured correctly.
Distance Error:
The positions of the speakers are too
close or too far, or the distance could
not be measured.
If you want to adjust any of the settings
manually, see “Speaker Setup” on
page 46.

tings, press the [RETURN] button

■
What is RDS?
RDS stands for
Radio Data System
and it’s a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail-
able in most European countries. Many FM stations use
it these days. In addition to displaying text information,
RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g.,
news, sport, rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa-
tion:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name appears. When you press
the [DISPLAY] button, the frequency is displayed for
three seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT
text information, that information is shown on the dis-
play (see page 59).
PTY (Program Type)
You can also search for radio stations by type (see
page 59).
TP (Traffic Program)
You can also search for TP radio stations (see page 59).
Notes:
• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV
receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the
radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis-
played when unsupported characters are received.
This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

About the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the AV receiver can transform your home listen-
ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.
If you connect two surround back speakers (i.e., left and
right), both will be used for 6.1-channel surround play-
back.
Direct
The selected input source is output directly with minimal
processing for a pure sound.
Pure Audio
As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the
display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and
minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a
high fidelity sound that’s true to the original (since the
power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video sig-
nals are output while this mode is selected).
Stereo
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.
It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
Use this mode with DVDs and vid-
eos that bear the Dolby Surround
logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You
can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV pro-
grams and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix
from the 2-channel stereo.
Dolby Pro Logic II Music
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such
as music CDs and DVDs.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV
receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx allows you to enjoy 7.1-
channel playback from 2-channel or 5.1-channel music
or movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx provides a well defined,
natural multichannel surround sound experience, putting
the listener in a seamless envelope of sound. The added
drama and natural sound enhance the listening experi-
ence with CDs, movies, and games.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation:
Movie mode for movies, Music mode for listening to
music, and Game mode for use with game consoles with
2-channel stereo outputs.
Dolby Digital
With this format you can experience the
same superb sound that you get at a movie
theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that
bear the Dolby Digital logo.
Dolby Digital EX
With an added surround-back channel,
this 6.1-channel format offers a height-
ened sense of space, for added realism with moving
sounds, such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass
overhead. Dolby Digital EX material can also be played
on conventional 5.1-channel systems, in which case the
surround-back channel audio is split between the sur-
round left and right channels. Use this mode with DVDs
that have a 5.1-channel soundtrack and bear the Dolby
Digital logo.
DTS
This digital surround format offers a sur-
round sound experience with exceptional
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio
data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the
ability to handle large amounts of audio data while
remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very
high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode
with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
DTS 96/24
This mode provides higher audio quality.
Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear
the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete
This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it with
program material recorded in DTS 6.1 format. With the
additional surround back channel, this format offers 6.1
fully independent digital channels, providing a realistic
sense of movement and space. Use it with program mate-
rial recorded in DTS 6.1, such as CDs, DVDs, or LDs
that bear the DTS-ES logo.
The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which
speakers are active in each listening mode.

DTS-ES Matrix
This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to
provide 6.1-channel surround playback
with program material recorded in DTS 5.1
format. Since DTS 5.1 program material
contains surround back channel informa-
tion, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1-channel
playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that
bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.
Neo:6
This mode provides 6.1-channel playback from 2-chan-
nel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with
excellent separation. There are two modes of operation:
Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening
to music.
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement
that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources.
Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that
feature stereo sound.
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a
natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven-
tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as
music CDs.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround
channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo
image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation
of a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in
this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and adds clarity to voices.
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other
mono sound 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.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills
the entire listening area.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the
music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

Advanced Operations
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you
don’t want to disturb anyone.
Notes:
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with
some material there will be little or no effect.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV
receiver is set to Standby.
With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright
movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro-
duction in a movie theater.
CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening
modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro
Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, DTS-
ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, DTS+Neo:6, and
DTS+Dolby EX.

information on connecting components.
Recording Separate AV Sources
Here you can record audio and video from completely
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto
your video recordings. This function takes advantage of
the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e.,
TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input
source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con-
nected to the VIDEO 4 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded
by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

With this function, 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 setting is 3.
Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower set-
tings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
■
Center Width
With this function, 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
if you are using a center speaker, the center channel
sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are not
using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be
distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a

right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight
of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to
7 (default is 3).
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
is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers
are 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 D EX
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected.
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.

When Zone 2 is turned on, the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER
OUT outputs 12 volts (100 milliamperes max). By con-
necting this jack to the 12-volt trigger input on, say, a
power amp in Zone 2, that power amp will turn on and
off automatically as and when Zone 2 is turned on and
off on the AV receiver.
To use the remote controller to control the AV receiver
from Zone 2, you’ll need one of the following commer-
cially available multiroom remote control kits:
• Multiroom Kits such as those made by Niles and Xan-
tech.
These kits can also be used when the AV receiver is not
in line of sight of the remote controller, for example,
when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Controlling Other Components
You can use the AV Receiver’s remote controller
(RC-590M/RC-591M) to control your other compo-
nents, including those made by other manufacturers.
This chapter explains how to:
• Enter the remote control code for a component that
you want to control (e.g., DVD, TV, VCR).
• Learn commands directly from another component’s
remote controller (see page 86).
• Program the Macro function to perform a sequence of
actions with a single press of a button (see page 87).
Entering the appropriate remote control code for each
REMOTE MODE button will allow you to control your
other components with the remote controller. You’ll need
to perform this procedure for each component that you
want to control.
For the [DVD], [TV], [VCR], [CABLE], and [SAT] but-
tons, choose a code from the respective category. For the
[CD] and [MD/CDR] buttons, you can choose a code
from any category. Remote control codes cannot be
entered for the [RECEIVER] and [ZONE 2] buttons.
If the remote controller works OK, the code has been
entered correctly. If not, try again or try another code.
Codes for Onkyo DVD Players
The remote control code for an Onkyo DVD player
depends on whether it’s connected via , as follows:
5001:
Use this code if you’ve connected an cable
and an analog audio cable to your DVD player.
This is the default setting, so if you’re using
, you don’t need to change anything. Point
the remote controller at the AV receiver to
operate the DVD player.
5002:
Use this code if your DVD player doesn’t have
an jack, or you’re not using . Point the
remote controller at the DVD player to operate
it.
Setting the [MD/CDR] Button to CDR
By default, the [MD/CDR] button is set to control a
MiniDisc recorder. To control a CD recorder, it must be
set to CDR. The codes are as follows:
6002:
Code for controlling an CD recorder.
6003:
Code for controlling an MD recorder (default).

The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the com-
mands of other remote controllers simply by pointing
them at each other. For example, by transmitting the Play
command from your CD player’s remote controller, the
remote controller can learn it and then transmit the same
command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in CD
mode.
This is convenient when you want to add commands to
buttons after entering a remote control code (page 78).
Notes:
• The following buttons cannot be taught new com-
mands: REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV
[ ], TV [INPUT], TV CH [+]/[–], TV VOL [ ]/
[].
• The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn up to
approximately 150 commands. However, the com-
mands of some remote controllers may use a lot of
memory, which will decrease the number of com-
mands that can be learned.
• By default, the AV receiver’s remote controller knows
the commands for controlling an Onkyo CD player,
cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player (e.g., Play,
Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). These buttons can learn
new commands, although the defaults will be restored
if the remote controller is reset.
• To learn a new command for a button that has already
learned one, simply repeat this procedure.
• Like most remote controllers, the AV receiver’s
remote controller uses infrared. Commands from
remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be
learned.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all
learned commands will be lost and will have to be
learned all over again, so don’t discard your other
remote controllers.
Learning Commands from Another
Remote Controller
1
While holding down the REMOTE
MODE button that you want to
learn the command, press the
[ON] button.
2
On the AV receiver’s remote con-
troller, press the button you want
to learn the new command.

To teach the AV receiver’s remote
controller more new commands,
repeat steps 2 and 3.
Press the [ON] button when you’ve fin-
ished.

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Can’t turn on the AV receiver?
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged
into the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five
seconds or more, then plug it in again.
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned
on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-
ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet?
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 21).
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-
nents are connected properly (page 21).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 23).
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected
(page 53).
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99,
or MAX (page 53). The AV receiver is designed for
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,
allowing precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to
unmute the AV receiver (page 54).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers
(page 54).
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those
that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
• If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in phono
preamp, you must connect one between it and the AV
receiver. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you
must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer
and phono equalizer.
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,
twisted, or damaged.
• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 62).
• Specify the speaker distances (page 49) and adjust the
individual speaker levels (page 50).
• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not
still connected.
Only the front speakers produce sound?
• When the Stereo listening mode is selected, only the
front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• When the Direct or Pure Audio (not all models) listen-
ing mode is selected, only the front speakers produce
sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
Only the center speaker produces sound?
• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an
AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is
concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The surround speakers produce no sound?
• When the Stereo, Direct, or Pure Audio (not all mod-
els) listening mode is selected, the surround speakers
produce no sound (page 62).
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,
not much sound may be produced by the surround
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The center speaker produces no sound?
• When the Mono or Stereo listening mode is selected,
the center speaker produces no sound (page 62).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The surround back speakers produce no
sound?
• The surround back speakers are not used with all lis-
tening modes. Select another listening mode
(page 62).
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround
back speakers with some sources.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).

The subwoofer produces no sound?
• When you play source material that contains no infor-
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces
no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
There’s no sound with a certain signal format?
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those
that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes
cannot be selected (page 61).
Can’t select the DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix listen-
ing modes?
• These modes cannot be selected when no surround
back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers
are being used.
• You can not always select all of the listening modes,
depending on the number of the speaker connected
(page 61).
Can’t get 6.1 playback?
• If no surround back speakers are connected, or the
Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1 playback is not
possible.
• You can not always select all of the listening modes,
depending on the number of the speakers connected
(page 61).
The volume cannot be set to 99?
• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated
(page 50), the maximum volume setting may change.
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 64).
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t
work?
• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec-
tions (page 29).
• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press
the [MULTI CH] input selector button.
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
About DTS signals
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch
your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV
receiver does not switch formats immediately, you
may not hear any sound, in which case you should
stop your player for about three seconds, and then
resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the AV
receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream
has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,
or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver
doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such
cases, you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-
function.
There’s no picture?
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 21).
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-
nected.
• If your video component is connected to a component
video input, your TV must be connected to the com-
ponent video output (page 26).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not all models)
is selected, the video circuits are turned off and the AV
receiver outputs no video signals.
The onscreen menus don’t appear?
• Make sure that the video settings are correct
(page 44).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.

Troubleshooting
—Continued
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is
noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-
puter.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 56).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote
controller may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor
antenna.
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 13).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries, or old and new batteries (page 13).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).
• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to
direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights.
Relocate if necessary.
• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with
colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not
work reliably when the doors are closed.
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (pages 14-19).
• When using the remote controller to control other
manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may
not work as expected.
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code.
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver
and remote controller (pages 72 and 73).
Can’t control other components?
• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.
Connecting only an cable won’t work (page 37).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (pages 14-19).
• If you connect an MD recorder or CD recorder to the
TAPE jacks, be sure to make the necessary setting
(pages 52 and 78).
• When learning commands, make sure that the trans-
mitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at
each other.
• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that
cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot
be learned, especially those that transmit several
instructions with a single button press.
• The wrong remote control code has been entered.
• The entered remote control code may not be correct.
If more than one code is listed, try each one.
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not
work as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control Onkyo components, point the remote con-
troller at the AV receiver.
• To control another manufacturer’s component, point
the remote controller at that component.
Can’t record?
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected (e.g., digital or analog).
Zone 2 has turned off?
• Was the Sleep function set? The Sleep function turns
off Zone 2 as well as the AV receiver. To set the Sleep
function for Zone 2 only, see page 76.
There’s no sound?
• Only components connected to analog inputs can be
played in Zone 2.

• These functions don’t work when Zone 2 is turned on.
Others
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-
cessing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it
back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-
rectly.
Resetting the AV receiver to its factory defaults
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on
and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press
the [STANDBY/ON] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the
display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other set-
tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-
ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
