Remote ID

When several Onkyo components are used in the same room, their remote ID codes may overlap. To differenti- ate the AV receiver from the other components, you can change its remote ID from “1”, to “2” or “3”.

Note

If you do change the AV receiver’s remote ID, be sure to change the remote controller to the same ID (see below), otherwise, you won’t be able to control it with the remote controller.

Changing the Remote Controller’s ID

1 While holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down SETUP until the remote indicator lights (about 3 seconds) (33).

2 Use the number buttons to enter ID 1, 2, or 3.

The remote indicator flashes twice.

HDMI

Audio TV Out

`Off:

HDMI audio is not output.

`On:

HDMI audio is output.

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”.

En

Note

If “On” is selected and the audio can be output from the TV, the AV receiver will output no sound through its speakers. In this case, “TV Sp On” appears on the display.

When “TV Control” is set to “On” (45), this setting is fixed to “Auto”.

With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output even when this setting is set to “On”.

When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On”, or “TV Con- trol” is set to “On” (45) and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers (15), if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver’s front left and right speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

Lip Sync

`Disable:

HDMI lip sync disabled.

`Enable:

HDMI lip sync enabled.

The AV receiver can be set to automatically correct any delay between the video and the audio, based on the data from the connected monitor.

Note

This function works only if your HDMI-compatible TV supports HDMI Lip Sync.

You can check the amount of delay being applied by the HDMI Lip Sync function on the A/V Sync screen.

HDMI Control (RIHD)

`Off:

pdisabled.

`On:

penabled.

This function allows p-compatible components connected via HDMI to be controlled with the AV receiver (65 to 66).

Note

When set to “On” and close the menu, the name of connected p-compatible components and “RIHD On” are dis-

played on the AV receiver.

Search…(name)RIHD On

When the AV receiver cannot receive the name of the compo- nent, it is displayed as “Player*” or “Recorder*”, etc (“*” means the number of two or more component).

When set to “Off” and close the menu, “RIHD Off” are dis-

played on the AV receiver.

DisconnectRIHD Off

When an p-compatible component is connected to the AV receiver via the HDMI cable, the name of the connected component is displayed on the AV receiver display. For example, while you are watching TV broadcasting, if you operate a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (being powered on) by the remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is displayed on the AV receiver.

Set to “Off” when a connected piece of equipment is not com- patible or it is unclear whether the equipment is compatible or not.

If movement is unnatural when set to “On”, change the setting to “Off”.

Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.
