Others

The sound changes when I connect my headphones

•When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, or Direct.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

•Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust” menu to select “Main” or “Sub” (page 70).

The u functions don’t work

•To use u, you must make an uconnection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi- tally (page 36).

The functions Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change don’t work for components connected via u

• These functions don’t work when Zone 2 is turned on.

When performing “Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup”, the measurement fails showing the message “Ambient noise is too high”.

•This can be caused by any malfunction in your speaker unit. Check if the unit produces normal sounds.

The following settings can be made for the composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set- tings.

1.While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.

2.Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change the setting.

3.Press the input selector button for the input source that you want to set when you’ve finished.

• Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD/BD, VCR/ DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME, or AUX input.

If you have a games console connected to the com- posite video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:OFF: (default).

Video ATT:ON: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro- cessing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try the following:

1If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.

2On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign”, and then select “1. HDMI Input”.

Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -” (page 39).

3On the main menu, select “1. Input Assign”, and then select “2. Component Video Input” (page 40):

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”.

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2”.

If the video source is connected to composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.
