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.

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.

Orchestra This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls. Unplugged This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage. Studio-Mix This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert. TV Logic This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation. All Ch Stereo This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Press the MUTING button on the remote controller to turn off muting (see page 48). Bad connections or wiring. Check connections, speaker cables, and other wiring (see pages 16 to 32). Amplifier protection circuitry is activated. Contact your Onkyo Service Center. Sound of playback source is not heard. Input selector is not set properly. Set to correct input source. Headphones are connected. Lower volume and then disconnect headphones. Power shuts off immediately after power on. Amplifier protection circuitry is activated. Remove the power cord from the outlet immediately. Contact your Onkyo service center.

FM/AM TUNER

AM stations cannot be received. AM loop antenna is not connected. Connect the included AM loop antenna to the AM antenna terminals (see page 34). Buzzing noise on AM stations (particularly noticeable at night or with weak stations). Noise from electrical apparatus such as fluorescent lamp. Move the AM loop antenna to different position. Set up an outdoor AM antenna (see page 34). Noise is heard at high-pitched sounds on AM stations. Noise caused by TV set. Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the TV. Move TX-SR700/700E/600/600E away from TV set. Crackling noise on both AM and FM stations. Noise caused by fluorescent lamp being turned on and off. Move antenna as far as possible from the fluorescent lamp. Noise from automobile ignition. Install an FM outdoor antenna as far as possible from the road (see page 35). Change the position or direction of the outdoor antenna.
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).

Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the CD player, DVD player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that compose your entertainment system. The TX-SR700/700E/600/600E contains an internal microcomputer that performs high-level operations. However, on extremely rare occasions, noise or interference from an external source or static electricity may cause faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then plug it back in. This should correct the situation. * To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory default settings, hold down the VIDEO 1 button with the TXSR700/700E/600/600E turned on and then press the STANDBY/ON button. CLEAR appears in the front display and the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E enters the standby state.
