Before using this unit Installing the remote controller batteries 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing and sliding the cover. Using the remote controller Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from the remote controller. 2. Insert two AA (R6 or UM-3) batteries into the battery compartment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the battery compartment.
Front panel facilities Here is an explanation of the controls and displays on the front panel of the TX-DS898.
Front panel facilities For operational instructions, see page indicated in brackets [ ]. POWER switch [25] Turns on and off the main power supply for the TX-DS898. STANDBY/ON button [25] When this button is pressed with the main power switch turned on, the TX-DS898 turns on and the display lights up. Press again to return the TX-DS898 to the standby state. STANDBY indicator [7, 25] Lights when the TX-DS898 is in the standby state and flashes when a signal is received from the remote controller.
Front panel facilities TUNING / buttons [46] Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz increments for FM and 10 kHz increments for AM. When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one.
Remote controller AUDIO/TV/VCR button AUDIO/A: For selecting the audio input signal. The setting changes from “Auto” to “Multich” to “Analog” and back each time this button is pressed. [51] TV/VCR: Must be preprogrammed for use in the TV and VCR modes. [62] LEVEL /ANGLE and LEVEL /SUBTITLE buttons LEVEL / : Select the speaker whose volume is to be adjusted using the CH SEL button and adjust the volume using the LEVEL / buttons in the RCVR mode.
Rear panel facilities Here is an explanation of the terminals found on the rear of the TXDS898 and how they are used. Before connecting your audio and video components, be sure to read this section carefully and then proceed to the explanations on how to connect each individual component (see page 15). • Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.
Rear panel facilities PRE OUT These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifier. Using auxiliary power amplifiers allows you to listen at louder volumes than with the TX-DS898 alone. If power amplifiers are used, connect each speaker to the corresponding power amplifier.
Rear panel facilities (RI) The terminal on the TX-DS898 is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same terminal. When a -connected, you can point the remote controller component is supplied with the TX-DS898 at the sensor on the TX-DS898 and operate that component without having to switch remote controllers. In addition, by connecting components to the terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.
Connections Here is an explanation of how to connect the main components to the TX-DS898 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as each of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

Connecting speakers Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them. For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important. For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd. Surround back speakers • Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.
Connecting speakers Connecting speakers Connecting the speaker cable Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the TX-DS898. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (see page 28). 1. Strip away 5/8 inch (15 mm) of wire insulation.
Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers Outline The TX-DS898 allows you to connect another set of speakers and place them in a different room or separated area for listening to music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room where the TX-DS898 is located is the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the TX-DS898 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated.
Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT) The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for operation: • Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller Extension System), or • Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles® and Xantech® to name a few Make connection as shown below. Do not plug the equipment into the power source until the connection is complete.
Connecting antennas To use the tuner of TX-DS898, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas. • Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception must be done while listening to a station broadcast. • If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended. Assembling the AM loop antenna Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
Connecting antennas Connecting an FM outdoor antenna Directional linkage Please make sure that you follow the considerations: • Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.). • It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc. • To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Speaker Config sub-menu After you have installed the TX-DS898, connected all the components, and determined the speaker layout, it is now time to perform the settings in the Speaker Setup menu for the optimum sound acoustics for your environment and speaker layout. Before you perform the following settings, it is important that you first determine the following characteristics: • The types and sizes of the speakers that are connected.
Speaker Setup Note: The SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals In order to have 7.1-channel playback in the main room, you must set the Powered Zone 2 setting to “Not Activated.” When set to “Not Activated,” the surround back signals are output from the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals.
Speaker Setup 1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Speaker Setup 1-4. Bass Peak Level (Bass Peak Level Manager*) sub-menu Setting the bass peak level is important to keep your subwoofer from being damaged by preventing it from outputting over a set volume. If your subwoofer has a built-in limiter, set this setting to “Off.” Note: If your system does not include a subwoofer, this setting will set the bass peak level for your front speakers. a. Bass Peak Level Limiter On: Select to set the bass peak level.
Input Setup 2. Input Setup menu This menu allows you to setup the various input sources available with the TX-DS898. Each input source may have a great number of settings that are difficult to keep track of, so we recommend making a chart to record what you have set and for which component to prevent confusion later.
