Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources. Notes: The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded. Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded. You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input. Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded. DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so dont attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs. While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.
Recording Separate AV Sources
Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, CD or PHONO) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged. In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Camcorder

AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 23 to 39 for hookup information.
video signal audio signal
Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The AV receiver/AV amplifiers MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.
On your recorder, start recording. On the source component, start playback. If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.
Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback. Prepare the VCR for recording. Press the [AUX] input selector button. Press the [CD] input selector button. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source. Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player. The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

About the Listening Modes
The AV receiver/AV amplifiers listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound. The LISTENING MODE button illustration shows that listening modes can be selected. Button: The LISTENING MODE button illustration shows the remote controller buttons with the exception of the [PURE AUDIO] button (All buttons with the exception of the [PURE AUDIO] button are on both the AV receiver/AV amplifier and the remote controller). See Selecting Listening Modes on page 64 for information on the use of the LISTENING MODE buttons. Pure Audio Button: In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.) Direct Button: In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction. All of the sources audio channels are output as they are. Stereo Button: Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Mono Button: Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs. Dolby Digital Button: Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and itll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. 5.1-channel source + Dolby EX Button: These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Theyre especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects. Dolby Digital Plus Button: Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate. Multichannel Button: This mode is for use with analog or PCM multichannel sources. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If youre not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx. Dolby PLIIx Movie Button: Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS). Dolby PLIIx Music Button: Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD). Dolby PLIIx Game Button: Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dimension With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from 3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it backward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward. Center Width With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3). Neo:6 Music Center Image The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Listening Setting
Listening Angle With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Audyssey Dynamic EQTM

DynamicEQ (Applies to Non-THX Listening Modes) THX+DynamicEQ (Applies to THX Listening Modes) With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume levelnot just at reference level. Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off. On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on. Notes: Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the Equalizer Settings on page 80 are set to Audyssey. When Loudness Plus is set to On (see page 82), the THX+Dynamic EQ is not available even with THX listening mode selected.

Speaker Levels

You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listening to an input source. These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver/AV amplifier is set to Standby. Subwoofer You can adjust the level from 15.0 dB to +12.0 dB. Center You can adjust the level from 12.0 dB to +12.0 dB. Notes: You cannot use this function while the AV receiver/ AV amplifier is muted. Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 75).

A/V Sync

A/V Sync When using progressive scanning on your 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. You can set it from 0 to 250 milliseconds (ms) in 5 millisecond steps. Notes: This setting is not available when the Pure Audio listening mode is used, or the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input signal. This setting is not available when the multichannel DVD input is selected.

Music Optimizer

M.Optimizer The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. Use it with music files that use lossy compression, such as MP3. Off: Music Optimizer off (default). On: Music Optimizer on. Note: The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected.
Page 87 Monday, August 4, 2008

The AV receiver/AV amplifier contains a microcomputer for signal processing 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 units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly. For North American models, set the AV receiver to Standby before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet. For other models, set the AV receiver/AV amplifier to Standby and the POWER switch to OFF before disconnecting the power cord.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback The AV receiver/AV amplifier can upconvert component video, S-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 setting the HDMI Output Resolution setting (page 94) to 480p or 720p. If that doesnt improve the picture quality, try the following: 1 If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT. If the video source is connected to an S-Video input, connect your TV to an S-Video output. If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to a composite video output. 2 On the main menu, select 1. Input Assign, and then select 1. HDMI Input. Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to - - - - - (page 44). 3 On the main menu, select 1. Input Assign, and then select 2. Component Video Input (page 45): 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 an S-Video input or composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to - - - - -.
