Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
Dont connect the power cord until youve completed and double-checked all AV connections. Right!

Note
The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

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.
This function can be used when:
your TV is ARC capable, and
the TV/CD input selector is selected, and
HDMI Control (RIHD) is set to On( page 56), and
Audio Return Channel is set to Auto ( page 57).
Tip
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TVs speakers:
Set the HDMI Control (RIHD) setting to On ( page 56) for an p-compatible TV.
Set the Audio TV Out setting to On ( page 57) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the HDMI Control
(RIHD) setting to Off.
Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD players HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see Connecting Your Components ( page 18).
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.
As the Audio TV Out setting is set to On ( page 57) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV
receivers speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the HDMI Control (RIHD) setting is set to On
( page 56) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receivers speakers will produce sound if you adjust
the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receivers speakers from producing sound, you
can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.

*2 When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select the PC input selector, the video of the personal computer is output
from HDMI OUT. However, if you have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals received
from HDMI IN instead of signals from PC IN. To have the signals output from PC IN, select - - - - - for PC in the HDMI
Input setting ( page 44).
*3 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesnt have it, youll need a commercially

Connecting the Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The AV receiver wont pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use
the tuner.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Note
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, youll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible
reception.
Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
Tip
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.
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 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.
G This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from
existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.
H This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel sources.

Internet radio recommended to use wired connections.
Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying
of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
Modem NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows
several networked computers to access the Internet
WAN Router simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV
receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.
LAN DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP
supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing
them to configure themselves automatically.
A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is
recommended.
Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP
or computer dealer if youre unsure.
CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
Computer or media server connect the AV receiver to your home network.
Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory
results, so a broadband connection is strongly
recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if youre
unsure.
Note
To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet
connection.
The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
see Network ( page 58).
The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have
a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-
compatible router.
Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver

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.
*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. Its
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 groups objective is to address the industrys 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 youll 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
theres no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected components instruction manual for
details.
En
83
Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder
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
HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however,
operation with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
