■Audio Return Channel (ARC)

`Off

`Auto:

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

The audio return channel (ARC) function allows an ARC capable TV to send the audio stream to HDMI OUT MAIN of the AV receiver. To use this function, you must select the TV/CD input selector and your TV must be ARC capable. Default setting: “- - - -”

Note

•This setting is fixed to “- - - -” when the “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “Off”.

•This setting is set to “Auto” automatically when the “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “On” for the first time.

•If you set “Audio Return Channel” to “Auto”, the “Audio Selector” settings of the TV/CD input selector will be automatically switched to “ARC” (➔ page 72).

After changing the settings of the “HDMI Control(RIHD)”, “HDMI Through” or “Audio Return Channel”, turn off the power on all connected pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer to the user’s manuals for all connected pieces of equipment.

■Lip Sync

Advanced Operations

Network

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

■MAC Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.
