Before using this unit Setting the Voltage selector (Worldwide models only) Using the remote controller Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform with local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the power supply in your area before plugging in the unit. Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-230 V or 120 V. If the preset voltage is not correct for your area, insert a screwdriver into the groove in the switch.

Connections • Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment. Here is explanation of how to connect the main components to the TX-DS696 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.

Connections If the video connection is made at COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Video Setup → Component Video (see pages 24, 39). Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the device to the audio DVD IN jacks on the TXDS696. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
Connections Connect to devices with z terminals The z terminal on the TX-DS696 is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same z terminal. When a component are z-connected, you can point the remote controller supplied with the TX-DS696 at the sensor on the TX-DS696 and operate that component without having to switch remote controllers. In addition, by connecting components to the z terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.
Connections Connect to devices with multichannel output By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1 channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that can properly connect the TX-DS696 to the peripheral device.
Connecting speakers Connecting the speaker cable Connecting a subwoofer Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier. 1. Strip away 5/8 inch (15 mm) of wire insulation. 2.

Connecting antennas To use the tuner of TX-DS696, 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 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 setup After you have installed the TX-DS696, 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. • The distance from each speaker to your normal listening position.
Speaker setup DSP / MODE ADJ 5. Press the jog once and then turn it to set the size of your front speakers. Large: Select if the front speakers are large sized. Small: Select if the front speakers are small sized. Speaker Distance submenu PUSH TO ENTER DSP / MODE ADJ PUSH TO ENTER This submenu provides settings that tell the TX-DS696 how far away your speakers are located from the listening position so that it can provide the optimum sound space.
Speaker setup Level Calibration submenu About the other settings This submenu allows you to set the volume levels of each speaker individually so that they all sound at the same level when heard from the listening position. If you are continuing from setting the speaker distances and are still in the setting mode, skip directly to step 2. 1. Press the SETUP button. If a menu other than “1. Speaker Setup” appears, turn the jog dial until “1. Speaker Setup” does appear.

Setup menus When making the various settings required to configure your TXDS696 optimally, you can either use the OSD menu that appears on your television monitor or you can use the display on the front of the TX-DS696. The OSD menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor. For use as reference when performing the setting procedures, this manual shows both the OSD menu displayed on your television monitor and the display on the front of the TX-DS696.
Setup menus Navigating through the Setup menu The explanations here assume you are using the buttons on the remote controller when entering the Setup menu. However, you can use the buttons on the TX-DS696 as well. When using the buttons on the TX-DS696, refer to the table on the right and pages 22 to 24. In addition to the display of the Setup menu on your television monitor, the corresponding menu will also be displayed in the front display on the TX-DS696.
