Onkyo Essential Guide for TX-NR626 Speaker Setup and Configuration

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 COAXIAL IN 1, you must assign “COAXIAL1” to the “TV/CD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

Input selector	Default assignment
BD/DVD	COAXIAL1
CBL/SAT	COAXIAL2
GAME	- - - - -
PC	- - - - -
AUX	- - - - -
TV/CD	OPTICAL
PHONO	- - - - -

■BD/DVD, CBL/SAT, GAME, PC, AUX, TV/CD,

PHONO

`COAXIAL1, COAXIAL2, OPTICAL:

Select the 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 54), 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 appropriate selection in the “Audio Selector” (➔ page 62).

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

2. Speaker Setup

Here you can check the settings made by Audyssey MultEQ® 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 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 24).

Note

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

–a pair of headphones is connected.

–The “Audio TV Out (Main)” setting is set to “On”

(➔ page 65) or “Audio TV Out (Sub)” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 65) and you’re listening through your TV speakers.

–“HDMI CEC (RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 64) and you’re listening through your TV speakers.

Speaker Settings

If you change these settings, you must run Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again (➔ page 24).

If you bi-amp the front speakers, you must change the “Speakers Type (Front)” setting. For details on speaker wire connection, 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.

Advanced Operations

`6ohms:

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

Note

•(North American and Taiwanese models) Speakers with an impedance of less than 6 ohms are not supported.

■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.

■Powered Zone 2

`Yes:

Zone 2 speakers can be used (Powered Zone 2 enabled).

Note

•If the “Speakers Type (Front)” setting is set to “Bi-Amp”, Powered Zone 2 cannot be used.

•When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be used.

Speaker Configuration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 24).

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low frequency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output
