Onkyo AVX-280 instruction manual Digital Input Signal Formats, Audio Selector, A/V Sync

Audio Selector

You can set priorities of audio output when there are both digital and analog inputs.

■AudioSel

`ARC:

The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.*1

With this selection the TV’s audio can be automati- cally selected as a priority among other assignments.

`HDMI:

This can be selected when HDMI IN has been assigned as an input source. If both HDMI (HDMI IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTI- CAL IN) have been assigned, HDMI input is auto- matically selected as a priority.

`COAX:

This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and HDMI inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is automatically selected as a priority.

`OPT:

This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both optical and HDMI inputs have been assigned, optical input is automatically selected as a priority.

`Analog:

The AV receiver always outputs analog signals.

Note

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

•This setting can be made only for the input source that is assigned as HDMI IN, COAXIAL IN, or OPTICAL IN. If both HDMI (HDMI IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN) are assigned, HDMI input will be selected as a priority by setting to “ARC” (➔ 34). To select the digital audio input, see “Digital Audio (Digital Audio Input)” (➔ 30).

*1 You can select “ARC” if you select the TV/CD input selector. But you cannot select it if you’ve selected “Off” in the “Audio Return Ch” setting (➔ 34).

Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack (➔ 30).

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the follow- ing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS.

Note

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

•The setting will be reset to “Auto” when you change the setting in the “Audio Selector” (➔ 37).

1Press RECEIVER, and then press and hold AUDIO for about 8 seconds.

2While “Auto” lights (about 3 seconds), press e/r to select:

`Auto:

The format is detected automatically. If no dig- ital input signal is present, the corresponding analog input is used instead.

`PCM:

Only 2-channel PCM format input signals will be heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indicator will flash and noise may also be produced.

`DTS:

Only DTS (but not DTS-HD) format input sig- nals will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS indicator will flash and there will be no sound.

A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning on your Blu-ray Disc/ DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the audio signals.

■A/V Sync

`0ms to 100ms in 10 ms steps.

Note

•A/V Sync is disabled when the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input source.

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
