2. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder (TAPE) Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks. If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the device. With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----). If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate changes at Input Setup Digital Input (see page 53). If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E for digital recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR600/600E. Note: The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR600/ 600E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-SR600/600E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples. COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the TX-SR600/600E has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The TX-SR600/600E also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail. The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. VIDEO IN/OUT These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are four video inputs and one video output and each one includes both composite video and S video configurations. Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the video outputs to make video recordings. When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3). The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

The flow of the video signals is as follows: The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to the VIDEO OUT jack. The signal that comes in from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to the S VIDEO OUT jack. It is not necessary to make both video and S video connections. Notes: If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack, MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal from the source component is input through the component video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input from the component video connectors can only be output from the component video connectors. For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT jacks, see page 24.
L (white) R (red) Analog audio output Digital audio output (coaxial)
3. Connecting a DVD player (DVD) Using an RCA video cable, connect the video output jack (composite) of the DVD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack of the TX-SR600/ 600E. Or if the DVD player has an S video output jack, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN jack with an S video cable. Or if the device has component video outputs, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 or 2 jacks on the TX-SR600/600E. With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the DVD input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks. If you connect the DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks, this must be changed at Input Setup Component Video (see page 54). Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the audio output jacks of the DVD player to the DVD FRONT L/R jacks of the TXSR600/600E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack. If the device has a 5.1-channel output, connect the DVD FRONT L/ R, SURR L/R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER (5.1-channel input) jacks of the TX-SR600/600E to the 5.1-channel output jacks of the DVD player. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks. If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the DVD player. With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the DVD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack (COAX). If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at Input Setup Digital Input (see page 53). Note: If the DVD player has both 5.1-channel audio outputs and 2-channel audio outputs, and you want to connect the DVD player only using the FRONT L/R jacks on the TX-SR600/600E, use the 2-channel audio output jacks on the DVD player.

Listening Modes

The TX-SR700/700E/600/600Es surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. The configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround sound. Refer to Connecting speakers on page 30. Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config, Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set (see pages 36 to 39). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See page 51 for information regarding how to select the listening mode. Dolby D (Dolby Digital) The Dolby D mode is used to play Dolby Digital sources. Dolby Digital is digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1-channel* surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support Dolby Digital. * 5.1-channel Digital Format The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1-channel digital surround format enables the individual recording and playing of five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls. Dolby Digital EX When using surround back speakers, the Dolby Digital source is played back using the Matrix 6.1-channel decoder. DTS The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources. DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES Discrete sources) that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the mark. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, highfidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated sound space is achieved. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 This format has the surround back channel matrix encoded and inserted into the left and right surround channels so that at playback the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are decoded using a high-precision matrix decoder. Dolby Pro Logic II Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left, center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio (Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then played back in its original 5.1-channel form. Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie mode designed for playing movies and a Music mode designed for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the mark and certain television programs. The Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources. DTS Neo:6 This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation between the different channels. This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music. The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music CDs and other stereo sources. Direct This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer. Pure Audio (TX-SR700/700E only) Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is highfidelity music playback true to the original source. Note that if you connect a device to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks of the TX-SR700/700E, the relay switch activates and signals are output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Therefore, the display on the monitor connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks will not disappear. Stereo This mode has all the input sound output from the left and right front speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

e. IntelliVolume This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between your various input source components. When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the TX-SR700/ 700E/600/600E is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E adjusts the volume accordingly and the volume stays the same. If the volume is quieter than that of other sources, increase it with the cursor button, and if it is louder than that of other sources, decrease it with the cursor button. The Intelli Volume can be adjusted between 12 and +12 decibels.
f. Analog/PCM Source This sets the listening mode for analog or PCM sources. Analog sources consist of LP records, FM and AM broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs without compression. g. PCM fs96kHz Source This sets the listening mode for Digital PCM sources recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. Note: This setting will not appear if ---- is selected at the Digital Input setting. h. Digital Format Source This sets the listening mode for Dolby Digital or DTS sources. Note: This setting will not appear if ---- is selected at the Digital Input setting.

Using remote controller

Overview
The RC-482M/480M remote controller is a useful tool that can not only operate the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E, but also all the other components of your home theater as well. To operate any component, first press the Mode button on the remote controller that corresponds to the component that you wish to control. Then simply press the desired operation button and the component will operate accordingly. For example, if you wish to select the CD input source at the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E with the remote controller, first press the RCVR MODE button to select the TX-SR700/700E/600/ 600E and then press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.

Entering a pre-programming code
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering the pre-programmed code for a remote controller of another manufacturer. Another is the normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes directly from other remote controllers (see page 70). And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by pressing one button (see page 73).
Learning a pre-programming code
By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the RC-482M/ 480M remote controller operate a component made by another manufacturer. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page. 1. Find the 3-digit number listed for the manufacturer name of the component that you want to operate in the table on the next page. 2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e. DVD, satellite tuner, or television). 3. While holding down the MODE button on the RC-482M/ 480M that you want to program, press the DISPLAY button, and then release both buttons. The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed. When the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/ LEARN indicator lights again. 4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number. The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes twice. If the SEND/ LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3. 5. Press the button that you programmed and check if the system operates correctly. If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3 and repeat the steps above. If it still does not operate properly, program the command directly from the other remote controller normally (see page 70). When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players: There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number according to how you will be using the DVD player. No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Onkyo DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does not have an terminal, or it does but you are not connecting it with an cable. First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly, enter 613. No. 600: This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have an terminal that you are connecting to the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E with an cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the TX-SR700/ 700E/600/600E. You do not need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it back to 600.

No sound from the center speaker, or at very low volume. Speaker cable is not connected. Check the connection between amplifier and speaker (see page 31). Listening mode is set to Stereo or Direct. Set the Listening mode to any mode other than Stereo or Direct. The output to the center speaker may differ depending on the listening mode. Center speaker volume is set to minimum. Set the center speaker level to the appropriate volume (see page 38). The Center setting is set to None. Set the Center setting to Large or Small at Speaker Config (see page 36). No sound or very low volume from subwoofer. Subwoofer setting is set to No. Set the Subwoofer setting to Yes at Speaker Config (see page 36). Subwoofer volume is set to minimum. Set the subwoofer level to the appropriate volume (see page 38).
Stereo indicator lights, but sound is distorted and stereo separation is bad. Station is too strong. Change to FM indoor antenna (see page 34). Multiple reflection of the radio waves because of tall buildings or mountains. Use antenna that has better directivity and orient it so distortion is least. Indicators for stereo reception flicker and hiss is heard on FM stations. Station is too weak. Install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 35). Stereo FM broadcasts cover only about half the distance of an ordinary broadcast. Change the position or direction of the outdoor antenna (see page 35). No preset station is recalled. Memory is lost because power has been turned off for a long time. Store all stations again (see page 41).

REMOTE CONTROLLER

Front panel controls function but remote controller controls do not. No batteries in remote controller. Insert batteries (see page 7). Batteries have worn out. Replace batteries (see page 7). Remote controller is not pointed at the remote sensor of the TXSR700/700E/600/600E. Point the remote controller at the remote sensor of the TXSR700/700E/600/600E (see page 7). Remote controller is too far from the TX-SR700/700E/600/ 600E. Operate the remote controller within 16 feet (5 meters) (see page 7). Remote controller is functioning in a different mode Press the RCVR MODE button.
LATE NIGHT function cannot be used. Playback source is not Dolby Digital encoded. Check that the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display. Desired parameter cannot be set. Parameter may not be able to be set due to current listening mode. Check settings in Audio Adjust (see pages 57 to 59). Multichannel audio is not output. The Multichannel setting is set to No. Set the Multichannel setting to Yes at Input Setup Multichannel (see page 54). DVD player is not connected to 5.1-channel input jacks. Check connections (see pages 18, 25). Components in remote zone (Zone 2) do not operate properly. (TX-SR700/700E only) Components are incorrectly connected. Check connections. Objects are interfering with remote controller signals. Move inferring objects away from path of remote controller signals. Sound is sometimes heard and sometimes not heard with digital sources. One digital input format has been specified so other digital formats are not played. Select All at Input Setup Digital Format (see page 54). Noise during playback or skipping of the beginning sounds occurs with DTS sources, PCM sources, and other digital sources. When All is set for the digital format setting, time is required to change formats when different sources are played. Try specifying the format you are playing at Input Setup Digital Format (see page 54).
