Advanced Setup—Continued HDMI Audio Out This preference determines whether audio received at the HDMI IN is output by the HDMI OUT. You may want to turn this preference on if your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT and you want to listen to the audio from a component that’s connected to an HDMI IN, through your TV’s speakers. Normally, this should be set to Off. Off: HDMI audio is not output (default). On: HDMI audio is output.
Advanced Setup—Continued Lock Setup Digital Input Signal Formats 1 Press the [RECEIVER] button followed by the [SETUP] button. The main menu appears onscreen. 2 Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select “8. Lock Setup,” and then press [ENTER]. The Lock Setup menu appears. The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack; otherwise you will see “Analog” indicated on the screen (see page 50).
Advanced Setup—Continued Changing the Remote Controller’s ID If several Onkyo components are used in the same room, the remote controller’s control codes may overlap with those of another component. To differentiate the remote controller’s control codes, you can change its ID to another number. Note: If you change the remote controller’s ID, be sure to set the same ID on both the remote controller and AV receiver/AV amplifier (see “Changing the AV Receiver/ AV Amplifier’s ID” on page 83).
Zone 2 North American models Connecting Zone 2 With the Zone 2 function, you can enjoy one input source in the main room and a different source in another room. There are two connection methods: using a receiver/integrated amp in Zone 2 or using only a pair of speakers in Zone 2. Note: For speaker connections and related cautions, see page 20. 1 Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
Zone 2—Continued 5 Setting the Powered Zone 2 Press the [SETUP] button. The setup menu closes. To use Zone 2, you must make this setting. It enables the speakers connected to the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals so that they produce sound when Zone 2 is used. 1 Press the [RECEIVER] button followed by the [SETUP] button. The main menu appears onscreen. Note: This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using its [SETUP] button, arrow buttons, and [ENTER] button.
Zone 2—Continued Controlling Zone 2 with the Remote Controller Adjusting the Volume for Zone 2 ZONE 2 LEVEL , ZONE 2 STANDBY/ON INPUT SELECTOR Remote controller On the remote controller, press the [ZONE 2] button, and then use the [LEVEL–] and [LEVEL+] buttons. AV receiver/ AV amplifier On the AV receiver/AV amplifier, use the ZONE 2 LEVEL [ ]/[ ] buttons. LEVEL –/+ Note: • To control Zone 2, you must press the remote controller’s [ZONE 2] button first.
Controlling Other Components You can use the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote controller (RC-682M) 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). 2 While holding down the REMOTE MODE button that you want to set, press the [DISPLAY] button for 3 seconds. The REMOTE MODE button lights up.
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/AV amplifier, not the component. This allows you to control components that are out of view, in a rack, for example. 1 Make sure the Onkyo component is connected with an cable and an analog audio cable (RCA). See page 39 for details.
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.
Specifications Amplifier Section General Rated Output Power (FTC) All channels: 90 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.08% 105/110 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.7/0.9% 110 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 6 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1 kHz with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.
Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using the AV receiver/AV amplifier, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV receiver/AV amplifier before contacting your Onkyo dealer. To reset the AV receiver/AV amplifier to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button.
Troubleshooting—Continued The surround back speakers produce no sound • The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Select another listening mode (page 66). • Not much sound may be produced by the surround back speakers with some sources. • Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 70). The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t work • Check the DVD analog multichannel input connections (page 28).
Troubleshooting—Continued • If the video source is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT or HDMI OUT (page 25). • If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT (page 25). • While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.
Troubleshooting—Continued Recording Can’t record • On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected (e.g., digital or analog). • When the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode. The following settings can be made for the component video, S-Video, and composite video inputs You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings. 1.
