About Home Theater
Enjoying 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 or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

Connecting Components with HDMI

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/BD 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 standard:

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 DVD/BD players must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.
■ Onkyo for System Control
, 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
HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-
tion with components other than -compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 97).
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 112) and “Controlling a DVD Player, or DVD Recorder” (page 113) for operation.
Notes:
• Do not connect the -compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so
that the linked operations work properly.
a. DVD/BD player is up to three.
b. DVD/BD recorder is up to three.
c. Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.
• Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.
• When the -compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are
not guaranteed.
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.

Making HDMI Connections
Step 1:
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV, projec-
tor, and so on.
Step 2:
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 44).
■ 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 26 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 96).
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
Hint!
• Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (see page 97) for an -compatible TV.
• Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 96) when the TV is not compatible with
or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.
•Set your DVD/BD 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 guaranteed.
• 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” (see page 96) to hear from your TV’s speakers, if you control the
AV receiver volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. The “TV Control” is set to “On”
to hear from speakers of -compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speak-
ers 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.
• 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.

Connecting Both Audio & Video

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD/BD 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.

Which Connections Should I Use?

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.
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 latter offering the best picture quality.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).
It is also recommended that you press the [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV receiver at the same
time. Select “Skip” in the “VideoProcessor” setting on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the
same button at the same time.

However, for component video only, regardless
of whether a component video signal is actually IN

Speaker Settings
See “Speaker Settings” on page 47.
Speaker Configuration
With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. The
following crossover frequencies can be specified: “Full Band”, “40Hz”, “50Hz”, “60Hz”, “70Hz”, “80Hz(THX)”,
“90Hz”, “100Hz”, “120Hz”, “150Hz”, or “200Hz”. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low frequency
bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover
frequency. Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to
your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum crossover frequencies.
If you set up your speakers using Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manu-
ally that any THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover.
Subwoofer Yes: Select if a subwoofer is connected (default).
No: Select if no subwoofer is connected.
Front*1 Full Band, 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz(THX) (default), 90Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz,

LPF of LFE (Low-Pass Filter for the LFE Channel)

80Hz(THX) (default), 90Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz
This setting is not set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see page 50).
With this setting, you can specify the cutoff frequency of the LFE channel’s low-pass filter (LPF), which can
be used to filter out unwanted hum. The LPF only applies to sources that use the LFE channel.
* If you’re using THX-certified speakers, select “80Hz(THX)”.
DoubleBass*7 On: Double Bass function on (default).

Off (THX): Double Bass function off.
With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass output by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right,
center channels to the subwoofer.
* If you’re using THX-certified speakers, select “Off(THX)”.
Notes:
*1 If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, the “Front” setting is fixed at “Full Band”.
*2 If the “Front” setting is set to anything other than “Full Band”, “Full Band” cannot be selected here.
*3 If the “Surround” setting is set to “None”, this setting cannot be selected.
*4 If the “Surround” setting is set to anything other than “Full Band”, “Full Band” cannot be selected here.
*5 If the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting is set to “Bi-Amp” (page 47), or “Powered Zone 2” is set to “Act” (page 104), this setting
cannot be selected.
*6 If the “Surr Back” setting is set to “None”, this setting cannot be selected.
*7 This function can be set only if the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “Yes”, and the “Front” setting is set to “Full Band”.
Speaker Distance
This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see page 50).
Here you can specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker
arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound designer intended.
Unit feet: Distances can be set in feet. Range: 0.5 to 30 feet in 0.5-foot steps.
(North American and Taiwan models: default)
meters: Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.15 to 9 meters in 0.15-meter steps.
(European, Australian and Asian models: default)
Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right,
Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left, Subwoofer
Specify the distance from the each speaker to your listening position.
Note:
You cannot select speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” (page 80).
81
Level Calibration
Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same
at the listening position.
Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right,
Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left, Subwoofer
The levels can be adjusted from –12.0 to +12.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps (–15.0 to +12.0 dB for the subwoofer).
Note:
You cannot get the test tone from speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration”
(page 80).
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you
normally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.
Tip:
If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.
Equalizer Settings
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume of
each speaker can be set on this page.
Notes:
• You can select: “63Hz”, “160Hz”, “400Hz”, “1000Hz”, “2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the sub-
woofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.
Equalizer Manual: You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. If you selected “Manual”,
continue with this procedure.
1 Press the Down [w] button to select “Channel”, and then use the
Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to select a speaker.
2 Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] buttons to select a frequency, and

then use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to adjust the level at
that frequency.
The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from –6 to +6 dB in 1 dB
steps.
Tip:
Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g.,
16000Hz) affect treble sounds.
3 Use the Up [q] button to select “Channel”, and then use the Left
and Right [e]/[r] buttons to select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
You cannot select speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker
Configuration” (page 80).
Audyssey: The tone for each speaker is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room
Correction and Speaker Setup. Be sure to select this setting after having performed
the Room Correction and Speaker Setup. “Dynamic EQ” and “Dynamic Volume”
become available (see page 86).
Off: Tone off, response flat (default).
82
THX Audio Setup

With the “SurrBack Sp Spacing” setting, you can specify the distance between your surround back speakers.
If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the “THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” setting to “Yes”. You can then
apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low frequencies for
listeners sitting very close to a room boundary (i.e., wall).
You can also set the THX Loudness Plus. When the “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”, it is possible to enjoy even subtle
nuances of audio expression at low volume.
This result is only available when the THX listening mode is selected.
SurrBack Sp Spacing
< 1ft (< 0.3m):
Select this if your surround back speakers are between 0 and 1 foot (0–30 cm) apart.
1 ft – 4 ft (0.3 m – 1.2 m):
Select this if your surround back speakers are between 1 and 4 feet (0.3–1.2 m) apart.
> 4ft (> 1.2m) (default):
Select this if your surround back speakers are more than 4 feet (1.2 m) apart.
Note:
Cannot be set if “Surr Back Ch” is set to “1ch” (page 80), “Speakers Type(Front)” is set to “Bi-Amp” (page 47),
“Surr Back” is set to “None” (page 80), or Powered Zone 2 is being used (page 104).
THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer
No: Select this if you do not have a THX-certified subwoofer.
Yes: Select this if you have a THX-certified subwoofer.
Note:
If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be selected (page 80).
BGC Off: Select this to turn off BGC.
On: Select this to turn on BGC.
Note:
This setting is only available if “THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” is set to “Yes”.
Loudness Plus Off: Select this to turn off Loudness Plus.
On: Select this to turn on Loudness Plus (default).
Preserve THX Settings
Yes: Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ / Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ will not be active in
THX listening mode.
No: Audyssey Dynamic EQ / Audyssey Dynamic Volume will be active in THX lis-
tening mode depending on the setting.
Note:
This setting is fixed at “Yes” if “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”.
THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™
Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a
surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain
sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal
and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels
and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX
Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for
each type of content.

Multiplex/Mono
Multiplex
Input Channel Main: The main channel is output (default).
Sub: The sub channel is output.
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or
languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
Mono
Input Channel Left / Right: Both the left and right channels are output (default).
Left: Only the left channel is output.
Right: Only the right channel is output.
This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or
2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.
Output Speaker Center: Mono audio is output by the center speaker (default).
Left / Right: Mono audio is output by the front left and right speakers.
This setting determines which speakers output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is selected.
Note:
If the “Center” setting is set to “None” (page 80), this setting is fixed at “Left / Right”.
84
Dolby
PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, instead of Dolby Pro
Logic IIx.
Panorama On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode.
Dimension –3 to +3 (default: 0)
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move
it backward.
Center Width 0 to 7 (default: 3)
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 center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
Dolby EX
Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX or THX
Surround EX listening mode is used.
Manual: You can select any available listening mode (default).
This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD
only.
Note:
If the “Front High” and “Front Wide” settings are set to other than “None” (page 80), this setting is fixed at

Neo:6 Music
Center Image 0 to 5 (default: 2)
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.

Audyssey
For Dynamic EQ™, Reference Level and Dynamic Volume, you cannot change the settings before completing
Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup.
Dynamic EQ Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating 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.
Reference Level
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater
system each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise
produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated
by Audyssey MultEQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position.
At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref-
erence response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-
ence level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix
level of the content is not within the standard.
Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
0 dB: This is the default setting and should be used when listening to movies.
5 dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as
classical music.
10 dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This
setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB
below film reference.
15 dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed
at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Note:
If the “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be selected.
Dynamic Volume (see page 50)
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off (default).
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the
most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.
Note:
After Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup is completed, even if “Equalizer” setting is not
set to “Audyssey”, when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, “Equalizer” settings is set to “Audyssey”.
When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, “Equalizer” setting is set to “Audyssey” and “Dynamic EQ” is set
to “On”. When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume” becomes “Off” automatically.
Stage Width –10 to +2 (default: 0)
Adjusts the width of the soundstage when using Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™.
Note:
If the “Center” and “Front Wide” settings are set to “None” (page 80), this setting cannot be selected.
Stage Height –10 to +2 (default: 0)
Adjusts the height of the soundstage when using Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion.
