M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.
Using the Listening Modes—Continued T-D Listening Angle Setting ■ Lstn Angl (Listening Angle) With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the three available settings.
Recording This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources. Recording the Input Source You can only record to a component that’s connected to the TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 24–35 for information on connecting your AV components.
Advanced Setup Advanced Speaker Settings 4 This section explains how to check the speaker settings and how to set them manually, which is useful if you change a speaker after performing the automatic speaker setup. Some speaker settings are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 37). Speaker Configuration Note: • If the Subwoofer setting in step 3 is set to No, this setting is fixed at Large and does not appear.
Advanced Setup—Continued 7 8 Use the Down [ ] button to select “Surr Back,” and use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to select Small, Large, or None. Small: Select if the surround back speakers are small. Large: Select if the surround back speakers are large. None: Select if no surround back speakers are connected. Notes: • If the Surround setting in step 6 is set to None, this setting does not appear. • If the Surround setting in step 6 is set to Small, the Large option cannot be selected.
Advanced Setup—Continued Double Bass This setting is not set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 37). With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass output by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. This function can be set only if the Subwoofer setting (step 3) is set to Yes, and the Front setting (step 4) is set to Large in the Speaker Configuration on page 56.
Advanced Setup—Continued 7 Press the [SETUP] button. Setup closes. 3 Turn up the volume so that you can hear the test tone sufficiently. As each speaker outputs the test tone, its name appears on the display. 4 Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to adjust the speaker level, and use the Down [ ] button to select the next speaker. The levels can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).
Advanced Setup—Continued Equalizer Settings 5 Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a frequency. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to adjust the level at that frequency. These settings are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 37). Here you can adjust the tone of individual speakers. To set the volume of individual speakers, see page 59. 1 RECEIVER Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, followed by the [SETUP] button.
Advanced Setup—Continued Digital Input Signal Formats Correcting Sound and Picture Sync The following table shows the display indicator for each digital signal format. Format Display Dolby Digital 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 20 millisecond steps.
Controlling Other Components You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller (RC-681M) to control your other AV components, including those made by other manufacturers. This section explains how to enter the necessary remote control code for the component that you want to control (e.g., DVD player, TV, or VCR). 1 Look up the appropriate remote control code in the separate Remote Control Codes list. The codes are organized by category (e.g., DVD player, TV, etc.).
Controlling Other Components—Continued Remote Control Codes for Onkyo Components Connected via Onkyo components that are connected via are controlled by pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver, not the component. This allows you to control components that are out of view, in a rack, for example. Resetting REMOTE MODE Buttons You can reset a REMOTE MODE button to its default remote control code.
Controlling Other Components—Continued To control another component, point the remote controller at it and use the buttons explained below. (You must select the appropriate remote control mode first.) With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.
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, try resetting the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer. To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
Troubleshooting—Continued The center speaker produces no sound • When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 50). • Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 56). The surround back speakers produce no sound • While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback and the surround back speakers produce no sound. • The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Select another listening mode (page 50).
Troubleshooting—Continued Tuner Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear • Relocate your antenna. • Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer. • Listen to the station in mono (page 44). • 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.
Troubleshooting—Continued The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing 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.
