Onkyo Complete Guide to Audio Input Setup for TX-NR709 Receiver

Digital Audio Input

If you connect a component to a digital audio input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN 1, you must assign “OPTICAL1” to the “TV/CD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

■BD/DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME, PC,

TV/CD, PHONO, PORT

`COAXIAL1, COAXIAL2, COAXIAL3, OPTICAL1, OPTICAL2:

Select a corresponding digital audio input to which the component has been connected.

`- - - - -:

Select if the component is connected to an analog audio input.

Note

•When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector in “HDMI Input” (➔ page 45), the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in this assignment. In this case, if you want to use the coaxial or optical audio input, make the selection in the “Audio Selector” (➔ page 55).

•Available sampling rates for PCM signals from a digital input (optical and coaxial) are 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz/16, 20, 24 bit.

•If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock with docked iPod/iPhone) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to the “PORT” selector.

•The “AUX” selector is fixed to the “- - - - -” option.

•The “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed to the “- - - - -” option.

Analog Audio Input

Some DVD players output the LFE channel from their analog subwoofer output at 15 dB higher than normal. With this setting, you can change the AV receiver’s subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD player.

■Subwoofer Input Sensitivity

`0dB to 15dB in 5 dB steps.

Note

•This setting only affects signals connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel input subwoofer jack.

•If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the 10 dB or 15 dB setting.

Speaker Setup

Some of the settings in this section are set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 31).

Here you can check the settings made by

Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup function, or set them manually, which is useful if you change one of the connected speakers after using Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup function.

Note

•These settings are not available in either of the following cases:

–a pair of headphones is connected.

–the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 59).

–“HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 58) and you’re listening through your TV speakers.

Speaker Settings

If you change these settings, you must run Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup again (➔ page 31).

If the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms. If you bi-amp the front speakers, you must change the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting (➔ page 46). For hookup information, see “Bi-amping the Front Speakers”

(➔ page 14).

Note

•When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

•Before you change these settings, turn down the volume.

■Speaker Impedance

`4ohms:

Select if the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6.

`6ohms:

Select if the impedances of all speakers are between 6 and 16 ohms.

■Speakers Type(Front)

`Normal:

Select this if you’ve connected your front speakers normally.

`Bi-Amp:

Select this if you’ve bi-amped your front speakers.
