Bi-amping the Front Speakers
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respec-
tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, pro-
viding improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 7.2 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R
outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the
“Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 48).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low)
terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

of the AV controller. To use this function, you must select the TV/CD input selector.
• To use ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must support ARC function and “HDMI
Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ 61).
Tip
• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
– Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (➔ 61) for an p-compatible TV.
– Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ 60) when the TV is not compatible with p or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.
– Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
– To listen to TV audio through the AV controller, see “Connecting Your Components” (➔ 20).
Note
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV controller, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV
screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV controller). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to
another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV controller or the sound may be cut off.
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ 60) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV controller’s volume,
the sound will be output from the AV controller’s speakers, too. When the “TV Control” setting is set to “On” (➔ 61) to hear from
speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV controller’s volume, the AV controller’s speakers will produce sound while
the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV controller’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or En

you can also enjoy Internet radio. The following diagram shows how you can connect the
AV controller to your home network. In this example, it’s
Network Requirements connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port
100Base-TX switch built-in.
■ Ethernet Network
For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network
is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a
computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, play-
back may be unreliable, so wired connections are recom-
mended.
■ Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying
IP addresses. Your router must support the following: Internet radio
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-
eral networked computers to access the Internet simulta-
neously via a single Internet connection. The AV
controller needs Internet access for Internet radio. Modem
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP
supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them
to configure themselves automatically. WAN port

mended. LAN port
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs

require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP
or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to con-
nect the AV controller to your home network.
LAN/Ethernet port
■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory Computer or media server
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-
mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
Note
• To receive Internet radio with the AV controller, your broadband
Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web.
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet
connection.
• The AV controller uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually,
see “Network Settings” (➔ 71).
• The AV controller does not support PPPoE settings, so if you
have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-
compatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server
to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a
proxy server, use the same settings for the AV controller (➔ 71).

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video compo-
nents. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a
single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichan-
nel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays with
a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,
resulting in no picture.)
The AV controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, so only HDCP-compatible components
can display the picture.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s
designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this
open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance
PCs and digital displays.
Note
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by
using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for
audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or
there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for
details.

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo
components. The AV controller can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control
over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however,
operation with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
