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 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit

from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug

is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

Some models have a voltage selector switch 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. 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 [ON/STANDBY] 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.

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 be

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

Connecting Your Speakers

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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.

With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

Enjoying Home Theater

Corner

position

1/3 of wall

position

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital

EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. 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 lis-

tener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet

(60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally

they should be equally spaced from the

listener.

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 (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 sub-

woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way

along the front wall, as shown.

Tip: To ﬁnd the best position for your sub-

woofer, while playing a movie or some music

with good bass, experiment by placing your

subwoofer at various positions within the room

and choose the one that provides the most

satisfying results.

Front left and right speakers

These output the main 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 slightly so

as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Connecting Your Speakers

—Continued

Speaker Conﬁguration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need

seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should

use based on the number of speakers you have.

* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the

SURR BACK L terminals.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you

must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati-

cally (see page 38) or manually (see page 72).

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 your TV or screen, while the surround

back left and right dipolar 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 PRE

OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered sub-

woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re

using an external ampliﬁer, connect the PRE OUT: SUB-

WOOFER to the amp’s input.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)

The supplied speaker labels are 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.

Speaker Connection Precautions

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 42). 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. Connect

positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,

and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-

nals. 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.

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) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Strip about 5/8" (15

mm) of insulation from

the ends of the

speaker cables, and

twist the bare wires

tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the bare wire.

Screw the terminal tight.

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts

can be used with front speakers and surround back

speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate

tweeter and woofer feeds for front speakers, providing

improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to

drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

•For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con-

nect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the

SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front

speakers’ woofer terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections

shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must

set the Speaker Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable bi-

amping (see page 42).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure

to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’

tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support

bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup

Bi-amping Front Speakers

Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+)

terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) tweeter

(high) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s

FRONT R negative (–) terminal to the right

speaker’s negative (–) tweeter (high) terminal.

Connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK R posi-

tive (+) terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+)

woofer (low) terminal. And connect the AV

receiver’s SURR BACK R negative (–) terminal to

the right speaker’s negative (–) woofer (low) ter-

minal.

Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT L positive (+)

terminal to the left speaker’s positive (+) tweeter

(high) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s

FRONT L negative (–) terminal to the left

speaker’s negative (–) tweeter (high) terminal.

Connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK L posi-

tive (+) terminal to the left speaker’s positive (+)

woofer (low) terminal. And connect the AV

receiver’s SURR BACK L negative (–) terminal to

Connecting Antennas

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.

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 19).

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 19).

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■

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.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure yourself

when using thumbtacks.

ANTENNA

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM push terminals, as

shown.

(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.

ANTENNA

Connecting Antennas

—Continued

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.

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 horizon-

tally outside, 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.

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-

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.

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, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV

receiver by using any of the following audio

connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial,

analog multichannel, or HDMI.

When you connect audio equipment to an

HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you

must assign that input to an input selector (see

pages 44).

When choosing a connection format, bear in

mind that the AV receiver does not convert dig-

ital input signals for analog line outputs and

vice versa. For example, audio signals con-

nected to an optical or coaxial digital input are

not output by the analog TAPE OUT.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority:

HDMI, digital, analog (including multichannel). You can specify which audio inputs the AV receiver checks for the

presence of a signal in the “Automatic Audio Input Selection Setup” on page 46.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV

receiver by using any one of the following

video connection formats: composite video,

S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the lat-

ter offering the best picture quality.

Video input signals ﬂow through the AV

receiver as shown, with composite video, S-

Video, and component video sources all being

upconverted for the HDMI output.

The composite video, S-Video, and component

video outputs pass through their respective

input signals as they are.

When you connect audio equipment to an

HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must

assign that input to an input selector (see pages

43 and 44).

If signals are present at more than one input,

the inputs will be selected automatically in the

following order of priority: HDMI, component

video, S-Video, composite video. However, for

component video only, regardless of whether a

component video signal is actually present, if a

component video input is assigned to the input

selector, that component video input will be

selected. And if no component video input is

assigned to the input selector, this will be inter-

preted as no component video signal being

present.

In the Signal Selection Example shown on the

right, video signals are present at both the

S-Video and composite video inputs, however,

the S-Video signal is automatically selected as

the source and video is output by the S-Video

and HDMI outputs.

The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the

composite video or S-Video MONITOR OUT, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the TX-SR606’s display when

changing settings.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect

the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and

video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details.

•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your

source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the

VCR/DVR OUT V jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital

interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now,

several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can

carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital

audio, or multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),

so TVs and displays

with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and

displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will

display a picture.

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32–192kHz)

• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192kHz)

• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby

TrueHD, DSD)

Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),

a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT

to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG

in 1999.

*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to

protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open

industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity speciﬁcation for high-performance PCs and

digital displays.

Connecting Components with HDMI

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:

Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby

TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD and Multichannel PCM

Connecting Your Components

■

Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.

Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con-

nection Formats” on page 22 for more information.

■

Audio Signals

Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV

receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the Audio TV Out setting is set to On (see page 81).

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the Audio TV Out

setting to On (see page 81), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can

be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need

to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In

addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be

seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV

power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound

may be cut off.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the

picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected

component’s instruction manual for details.

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV,

projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 43).

on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components

connected via will also go on Standby.

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 DVD IN (multichannel input), you’ll need to

press the [MULTI CH] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 47), as the Direct Change

function selects the DVD IN FRONT L/R jacks.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components. You must enter

the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst (see page 88). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver

and not the other component.

Notes:

• Use only cables for connections. cables

are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

• Some components have two jacks. You can con-

nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is

for connecting additional -capable components.

• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Con-

necting other manufacturer’s components may cause

a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all functions.

Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo

components.

• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and

Direct Change functions do not work.

Connecting Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).

Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below).

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 45).

Up and Running in a Few Easy Steps

To get your system up and running with the minimum of fuss, here’s a few pointers to help you conﬁgure the AV

receiver before you use it for the very ﬁrst time. These settings only need to be made once.

■ Do the automatic speaker setup—this is essential!

See “Automatic Speaker Setup” on page 38.

■ Did you connect a component to an HDMI input,

component video input, or digital audio input?

If you did, see “HDMI Input Setup” on page 43, “Component Video

Input Setup” on page 44, or “Digital Input Setup” on page 44 respec-

tively.

■ Did you connect an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or RI

Dock?

If you did, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 45.

First Time Setup

This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very ﬁrst time.

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ

automatically determines the number of speakers con-

nected, their size for purposes of bass management,

optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if

present), and distances from the primary listening posi-

tion. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused

by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob-

lems over the listening area in both the frequency and

time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for

everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also

use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper

octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See

page 70)

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several

people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously,

Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions

within the listening area.

First measurement point

This is the center point of the listening area, or the

listening position.

Second measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

Third measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

The distances between points

and

and points

and

must be at least 1 meter.

From the examples below, choose the listening area that

best matches yours and place the microphone accord-

ingly when prompted.

Turn on the AV receiver and the

connected TV.

On the TV, select the input to which the

AV receiver is connected.

Notes:

• If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the

Speaker Impedance setting before running the

automatic speaker setup (see page 42).

• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted

automatically when the automatic speaker setup

starts.

• Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed

while a pair of headphones is connected.

• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto-

matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea-

surement time varies depending on the speakers.

• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during

the automatic speaker setup.

Background noise can disrupt the

room measurements. Close win-

dows, silence cell phones, televi-

sions, radios, air conditioners,

ﬂuorescent lights, home appliances,

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very

low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down,

it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. In

this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, select its

highest crossover frequency, and then try running the

automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the volume is

set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected,

For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo

headphones (1/4-inch phone plug) to the AV receiver’s

PHONES jack.

Notes:

•Always turn down the volume before connecting your

headphones.

• While the headphones plug is inserted in the PHONES

jack, the speakers are turned off. (The Powered Zone 2

speakers are not turned off.)

• When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening

mode is set to Stereo, unless it was already set to Pure

Audio, Mono, Stereo, or Direct, in which case it stays

the same.

• When the multichannel DVD input is selected, only

the front left and front right channels can be heard in

the headphones.

You can display various information about the current

input source as follows.

Note:

• This procedure can also be performed on the AV

receiver by using its [DISPLAY] button.

The following information can typically be displayed:

*1 When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset num-

ber, and frequency are displayed.

*2 If the input signal is analog, or AM or FM radio is

selected, no format information is displayed. If the

input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is dis-

played. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the

RDS only works in areas where RDS broadcasts are

available. When tuned to an RDS station, the RDS indi-

cator appears.

■

What is RDS?

RDS stands for

Radio Data System

and is 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. RDS is approved by the

National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is

available in North America.

Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to dis-

playing 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 will be displayed. Press-

ing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for

3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text

information, the text will be shown on the display (see

page 56).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type

(see page 56).

TP (Trafﬁc Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast trafﬁc information (see page 56).

Notes:

• In some cases, the 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.

Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your

listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with

high ﬁdelity and stunning surround sound.

Pure Audio (not North American models)

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned

off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in

high-ﬁdelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is

turned off, only the HDMI OUT outputs video.)

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output

directly with minimal processing, providing high-ﬁdel-

ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are

output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and

subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono

soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language

soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of

some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other

sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke

DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

expands any 2-channel source for

7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and

seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops

the listener. As well as music and movies, video games

can also beneﬁt from the dramatic spatial effects and

vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back

speakers,

Dolby Pro Logic II

will be used instead of

Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

• Dolby PLIIx Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• Dolby PLIIx Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,

TV, VHS, DVD).

• Dolby PLIIx Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those

that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital

logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most

common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you

right in the middle of the action, just like being in a

movie theater or concert hall.

5.1-channel source + Dolby EX

These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-

channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX

soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround

back channel. The additional channel adds an extra

dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound

experience, perfect for rotating and ﬂy-by sound effects.

5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music

These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode

to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-

back.

5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie

These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode

to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

Dolby Digital Plus

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video

disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-

tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1

channels with 48kHz sampling rate.

Dolby TrueHD

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage

space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-

mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete

channels of digital audio with 48/96

kHz, up to 5.1-chan-

nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.

For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see

page 61.

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to

5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-

ﬁdelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that

bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is

high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-

bit resolution, providing superior ﬁdelity. Use it with

DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

—Continued

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks,

that use a discrete surround back channel for true

6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate

audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-

degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan

across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear

the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Dis-

crete soundtrack.

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks,

that 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 7.1-chan-

nel playback. It uses seven 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).

5.1-channel source + Neo:6

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for

6.1/7.1-channel playback.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video

disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-

tichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1

channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.

DTS-HD Master Audio

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage

space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-

mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan-

nels of digital audio with 48/96

kHz, up to 5.1-channels

with 192 kHz sampling rate.

For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see

page 62.

DTS Express

This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam-

pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive

audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub

Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and

media servers.

DSD

DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format

used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).

This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-

channel audio.

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.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround

sound even with only two or three speakers. This works

by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and

right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too

much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode

in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Recording

This section explains how to record the input source and

how to record audio and video from separate sources.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot

be recorded.

• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to the analog multichannel input

cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be

recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t

attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the

VCR/DVR OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig-

nals, so select another mode when recording.

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-

sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack.

Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g.,

VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

See pages 20 to 36 for hookup information.

Note:

• If you select a different input source during recording,

that input source will be recorded instead.

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 and video from the camcorder con-

nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by

the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Recording the Input Source

Use the input selector buttons to

select the source that you want

to record.

See “Which Connections Should I

Use?” on page 21 to see which signals

can be output and recorded.

You can watch the source while record-

ing it. The AV receiver’s MASTER

VOLUME control has no effect on

recording.

On your recorder, start record-

ing.

On the source component, start

playback.

Adjusting the Listening Modes

—Continued

■

Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound

from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic

IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a

center speaker, the center channel sound is output by

only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center

speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to

the front left and right speakers to create a phantom cen-

ter). This setting controls 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. The default

value is 3.

Neo:6 Music

■

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. The

default value is 2.

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 EX Settings

■

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are han-

dled.

Auto:

When the source is Dolby EX, you can select

the Dolby EX listening mode.

Manual:

When the source is Dolby EX, you can select

any of the listening modes compatible with this

format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx,

etc.).

Theater-Dimensional Setting

■

Listening Angle

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-

sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front

left and right speakers relative to the listening position.

Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi-

distant from the listening position and at an angle close

to one of the two available settings.

Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide:

Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).

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.

For

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus

sources, the

options are:

Off:

Late Night function off (default).

Low:

Small reduction in dynamic range.

High:

Large reduction in dynamic range.

For

Audyssey Dynamic EQ

■

DynamicEQ

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound

even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorat-

ing sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into

account human perception and room acoustics.

It does so by selecting the correct frequency response

and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that

the content sounds the way it was created at any volume

level--not just at reference level.

Off:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.

On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

Note:

• Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the

Equalizer Settings on page 76 are set to Audyssey.

Note:

• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM

digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below

48kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music

Optimizer is disabled when the Pure Audio or Direct

listening mode is selected.

Speaker Levels

You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen-

ing to an input source.

These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV

receiver is set to Standby.

tening mode is used, or the Direct listening mode is

used with an analog input signal.

A/V Sync

■

A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,

you may ﬁnd that the picture and sound are out of sync.

With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the

audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds

(ms) in 10 millisecond steps.

Adjusting the Listening Modes

—Continued

On the Listening Mode Preset menu, you can specify a

default listening mode for each of the audio formats sup-

ported by each input selector. The AV receiver will then

select the listening mode automatically depending on the

format of the input signal. You can still select the other

listening modes, although the default listening mode will

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 plugged into the wall

outlet properly.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5

seconds or more, then plug it back 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. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,

and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon-

nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord

and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver

stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the

power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input

sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the

volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and

contact your Onkyo dealer.

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

•To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an

HDMI input, make sure that input is assigned to an

input selector (page 43).

component. On some game consoles, such as those

that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button

on your DVD player’s remote controller.

• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in,

you must connect one between it and the AV receiver.

• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con-

nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a

phono preamp.

• Check the speaker settings (pages 72–76).

• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it

to Auto (page 50).

• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an

HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,

and be sure to select a compatible audio format.

Only the front speakers produce sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie or Dolby

Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode with a mono

source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV pro-

gram, the sound will be concentrated in the center

speaker.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

the center speaker produces no sound (page 64).

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the surround speakers produce no sound.

• Depending on the source and the current listening

mode, not much sound may be produced by the sur-

round speakers. Try another listening mode (page 57).

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

The surround back speakers produce no sound

• The surround back speakers are not used with all lis-

tening modes. Try another listening mode (page 57).

• Not much sound may be produced by the surround

back speakers with some sources.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 72).

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, as the AV receiver does not

switch formats immediately, you may not hear any-

thing, in which case you should stop your player for

about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback

DTS material properly even though your player is con-

nected 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 recog-

nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you

may hear noise.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, sound may not be output immediately.

There’s no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed

in all the way (page 20).

• Make sure that each video component is properly con-

nected.

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which

the AV receiver is connected is selected.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the

video circuitry is turned off and only the HDMI OUT

outputs video signals.

• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,

you must assign that input to an input selector

(page 43), and your TV must be connected to the

HDMI OUT (page 31).

• If the video source is connected to a component video

input, you must assign that input to an input selector

(page 44), and your TV must be connected to either

the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

(page 31, 23).

• If the video source is connected to an S-Video or com-

posite video input, your TV must be connected to the

HDMI OUT or the corresponding S-Video or compos-

ite video output (page 31, 23).

Troubleshooting

—Continued

There’s no picture from a source connected to

an HDMI IN

• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is

not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC

are not supported (page 31).

• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV

receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not

support the current video resolution and you need to

select another resolution on your DVD player.

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers

from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t

light up

• Relocate your antenna.

•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-

puter.

• 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).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far

away from the AV receiver and there’s no obstruction

between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s

remote control sensor (page 13).

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode.

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control

code (page 87).

Can’t control other components

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode.

• If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD

recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the TAPE

IN/OUT jacks, or an RI Dock to the GAME/TV IN

jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you

must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or DOCK,

respectively (see page 45).

• 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 an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be

sure to enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst

(page 88).

•To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected

via , or another manufacturer’s component, point

the remote controller at that component. Be sure to

enter the appropriate remote control code ﬁrst

(page 87).

Can’t record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is

selected.

•To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV

receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs

with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT or

VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, video

recording is not possible because no video signals are

output. Select another listening mode.

The sound changes when I connect my head-

phones

• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening

mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,

Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio, in which case it stays the

same.

How do I change the language of a multiplex

source

• On the “Audio Adjust” menu, change the “Input Ch”

setting to Main or Sub (page 67).

The functions don’t work

•To use , you must make an connection and an

analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-

nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi-

tally (page 36).

• While Zone 2 is selected, the functions don’t

work.

The AV receiver’s display doesn’t work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listen-

ing mode is selected. Select another listening mode.

The following settings can be made for the

S-Video and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set-

tings.

1. While holding down the input selector button for the

input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]

button.

2. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to change

the setting.

3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve ﬁnished.

•Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD, VCR/DVR,

CBL/SAT, GAME/TV, or AUX input.

If you have a games console connected to the

S-Video or composite video input, and the picture

isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:0:

(default).

Video ATT:2:

Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

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 out-

let, wait at least 5 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

this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important

data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-

rectly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-

let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

Troubleshooting

—Continued

The AV receiver can upconvert component video, S-Video, and composite video sources for display on a

TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may

make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try setting the HDMI Output Resolution setting (page 80) to 480p or 720p. If that doesn’t

improve the picture quality, try the following:

1. If the video source is connected to a component video input,

connect your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

If the video source is connected to an S-Video input,

connect your TV to an S-Video output.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input,

connect your TV to a composite video output.

2. On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign,”

and then select “1. HDMI Input.”

Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “-----” (page 43).

3. On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign,”

and then select “2. Component Video Input” (page 44):

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1,

select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1.”

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2,

select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2.”

If the video source is connected to an S-Video input or composite video input,

select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “-----”.
