center channel, especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies
from 5 (nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is
cut in half).
Audyssey 2EQ Automatic Room Correction and Speaker Setup:
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey 2EQ can measure the number
of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies and distances front he
listening position and calculate the optimal speaker setting for you
automatically. The supplied microphone has a 19.5' cable that plugs into the
front of the receiver. There is a threaded insert on the bottom of the
microphone so it can be mounted on a tripod for accurate listening position
placement. Three listening position measurements are taken, one primary and two
secondary, to optimize the surround effect for a broad area. You can also setup
your speaker system manually using the receiver.
- Speaker Configuration: You can set the Front speakers to small or
large; the center and surround/surround back speakers to small, large or none; and the
subwoofer to yes or no. For the HT-S5200 system you will set the Front,
Center and Rear speakers to small and the Subwoofer to yes.
- Speaker Distance: You can specify the distance from each speaker
to this listening position. You can adjust the Front speaker distance from 1
to 30 feet of the listener. The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up
to 5 feet more or less than the Front distance, while the Surround speakers
can be set up to 5 feet more or 15 feet less than the Front distance.
- Speaker Levels: You can adjust the level of each speaker while
listening to an input source. You can adjust the front, center and surround
speakers from 12 to + 12 dB and the subwoofer from -15 to +12 dB.
- Equalizer: You can adjust the receivers 5-band
equalizer (63, 250, 1000, 4000, and 16000 Hz) for each speaker manually from
-6 to +6dB in 1dB increments. The subwoofer's level can be adjusted at 25Hz,
40Hz, 63Hz, 100Hz, or 160Hz.
- Test Tone: The receiver features a test-tone to make sure that
all the speakers are working properly.
- Adjustable Crossover:
This receiver has a built-in crossover for the subwoofer output. This setting is
also used for any other speakers set to Small. The frequencies that you can choose
from are 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, and 200 Hz.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ: 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 sound the way it was created at any
volume level; not just a reference level.
CinemaFilter: Using the CinemaFilter, you soften overly
bright movie soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large
theater (relative to your home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick
curtains on the walls. Home theater settings often lack these high frequency
absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack sound too bright. CinemaFilter
accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural at home.
Late Night: The Late Night feature limits the dynamic range
of Dolby Digital recordings making it easier to find a volume that ensures the
quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds are not too loud for night
time listening. The settings are: Off, Low, and High.
Note: This feature only works with Dolby
Digital Encoded software and the amount of effect will vary
based on the individual soundtrack.
Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances the
sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer Function only works
with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48kHz and analog
audio input signals.
AV Sync: Occasionally the audio and video signals are
not properly synchronized, typically when using a progressive scanning DVD
player. You can correct this by delaying the audio from 0ms to 100ms in 20m
steps.
Bass And Treble: You can adjust the Bass and Treble for the
receiver's Front A speakers from -10 to +10 dB in 2 dB increments.
Double Bass: With the double
bass feature you can boost the bass output by feeding the low frequency signals
from the left and right channels (when front speakers set to large) to both the
front speakers and to the subwoofer.
HDMI (Pass-Thru): The HT-R570 has four HDMI inputs and one
HDMI output for connecting DVD players, HDTV set-top
boxes, and other video components to your TV or projector. The receiver's HDMI
circuitry is a switching pass-through design, and will pass video and 2-channel
(stereo) digital audio through to the TV. However, if you want to listen to the
soundtrack through the speakers connected to your receiver, you must make a
separate analog audio connection (for stereo listening) or digital audio
connection (for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround). The HDMI inputs are compatible with
DVI, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an
HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable, along with audio cables. The receiver uses HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components
can display the picture. The HDMI inputs can accept and switch 480i, 480p, 720p,
1080i, and 1080p signals to a TV, monitor, or projector. Each of the HDMI inputs
can be assigned to any of the three rear panel A/V inputs (DVD/BD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT).
Assignable Digital Inputs: The
HT-R570 has 4 assignable digital inputs (2 optical, 2 coaxial) allowing you to
tell the unit which input source is connected to which digital input jack.
Component Video Inputs/Output: This unit
has 2 component video inputs and 1 component video monitor output. The component
video inputs/output band width is 5 Hz to 50 MHz, so they will accommodate an
HDTV signal.
Speaker Outputs: The speaker terminals for the front
A speakers, center-channel, and surround/surround back speakers are binding post
while the front B speakers are spring-clip terminals for simple connection.
The receiver also features a subwoofer preamp output for connecting the powered
subwoofer.
B Speaker Outputs: The B speaker outputs
can be used to power speakers in a different room, creating a second zone. When
the B speakers are turned on, the amplifiers from the surround back speakers are
used to power them, so the connected surround speakers are disabled and the
main room becomes a 5.1 channel system. The B speakers can only play sources
connected using analog cables.
Auxiliary/Portable Input: The receiver features a 3.5mm auxiliary
audio input on its front panel for connect a portable audio player.
Headphone Output: The receiver
has a standard 1/4" headphone jack on the front panel. The speaker outputs
are muted when headphones are plugged into the Phones jack. When you
connect a pair of headphones, the listening mode automatically switches to
Stereo, unless it's already set to Mono, Stereo, or Direct. When you disconnect
the headphones, the previous listening mode is selected. The headphone volume
for the left and right channels is adjustable (relative to one another) from -12
dB to +12 dB.
RI Remote Control Jack: The 1/8" RI (Remote Interactive)
remote control jack on the receiver allows you
to connect the receiver to other RI-remote capable Onkyo components. With RI,
you can use the following special functions:
- Auto Power On/Standby: When you start playback on a component
connected via RI, if the AV receiver is on Standby , it will automatically
turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the
AV receiver is set to Standby, all component connected via RI will also go
on Standby.
- Direct Change:
When playback is started on a component connected via the Remote Interactive
(RI) jack, the receiver automatically selects that component as the input
source.
- Remote Control: You can use the AV receiver's remote controller
to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote
controller at the AV receiver's remote control sensor instead of the
component.
Sirius Satellite Radio Ready: The HT-R570 can be connected
to the optional SiriusConnect Home Tuner kit (part # 607SCH1, sold separately)
or SiriusConnect Home Tuner Receiver (part # 220SCH2P, sold separately), which
allows you to receive Sirius Satellite Radio through the receiver. You can
search Sirius radio stations by Channel, Category or Direct Tuning. You can also
choose to display the following Sirius information on the receiver's display -
Channel Name, Channel Number, Category Name, Artist Name or Song Title. You can
store a combination of 40 of your favorite Sirius, AM, and FM radio stations.
Sleep Timer: From
the remote, you can set the unit to automatically turn off after a preset amount
of time. The sleep timer can be adjusted from 10 minutes to 90 minutes in
10-minute increments.
Display Dimmer: The
display illumination has three brightness level settings.
Wireless Remote: Including the AV receiver, the supplied IR
wireless remote control can be used to control up to 4 different Onkyo components.
The remote controller has a specific operating mode for us with each type of component
(DVD/BD, CD player, cassette recorder and RI dock.
