Changing the TAPE/MD/CDR Display If you connect an -compatible Onkyo MiniDisc recorder or CD recorder to the TAPE IN/OUT sockets, for to work properly, you must change this setting.

Press the [DISPLAY] button repeatedly to cycle through the available information. Using the Multichannel Input The multichannel input is for connecting a component with individual 5. 1-channel analog audio outputs, such as a DVD player or MPEG decoder. See "DVD Multichannel Connection" on page 26 for connection information. DISPLAY 1 The following information can typically be displayed for input sources. Input source & volume AMP MULTI CH Press the [AMP] button followed by the [MULTI CH] button so that "MULTI" appears on the display. Audio from the multichannel input will now be used for the DVD input source. Signal format* or sampling frequency Input source & listening mode 2 CH SEL *If the input signal is analog, no format information is displayed. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the signal format is displayed. Information is displayed for about three seconds, then the previously displayed information reappears. Interpreting Surround Channel Information LEVEL- LEVEL+ To adjust the level of individual speakers, use the remote controller's [CH SEL] button to select them, and then use the [LEVEL­] and [LEVEL+] buttons. The level can be adjusted from ­12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (­15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer). A BC A: The number of front channels (front left, front right, and center). B: The number of surround channels (surround left and surround right). If there's a surround back channel information, this number will be 3. [. . . ] Remedy To prevent signal loops and damage to the HT-R820THX, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e. g. , TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 1 IN/OUT). Although you cannot record Dolby Digital or DTS surround channels, you can record the left and right channels by connecting the source AV component's analog left and right outputs to a pair of analog inputs on the HT-R820THX. See your recorder's manual for more information. The wrong input source is selected on your recorder. Can't record the surroundsound effects produced by the listening modes? [. . . ]
