■ Audio return channel (ARC) function
Audio return channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the
AV receiver (➔ page 35).
• To use ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must support ARC function and “HDMI
Ctrl(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 34).
Tip
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
– Set the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)” setting to “On” for an p-compatible TV.
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ page 35) when the TV is not compatible with p or the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)”
setting to “Off”.
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
– To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (➔ page 14).
Note
• 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.
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 35) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s
volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)” setting is set to “On”
(➔ page 35) to hear from speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers
will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings,
change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

■ Explanatory Notes
Input Source
The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.
A This is mono (monophonic) sound.

S This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two speakers.
D This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer
channel (called the point-one channel).
F*1 This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional
speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

*1 This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-A2X RI Dock on or off. Your iPod/iPhone may not respond the first time you
press this button, in which case you should press it again.
This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod/iPhone is already on, it
will remain on when the remote controller transmits an On command.
Similarly, if your iPod/iPhone is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to
the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
Note
• The on-screen setup menus are displayed when:
– There is no video input, or
– The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video
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, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays with
a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,
resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, so only HDCP-compatible components can
display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD
Master Audio)
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.
About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 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): Lead 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.
Note
• 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.
• 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.

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo
components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over

operation with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
