Precautions
1. Recording CopyrightUnless its for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder. 2. AC FuseThe AC fuse inside the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E, contact your Onkyo dealer. 3. CareOccasionally you should dust the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Dont use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the nish or remove the panel lettering. 4. Power WARNING BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502Es rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz). The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 ampere fuse is tted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET. If in any doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
Memory backup
The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when its unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. (On non-American models, the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502Es POWER switch must be set to ON in order to charge the backup system.) Once it has been charged, the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

Surround back speaker This speaker further enhances the realism of surround sound and improves sound localization behind the listener. Position it behind the listener about 23 feet (60100 cm) above ear level. Make sure that the listening position is within the range of the speaker.
Subwoofer The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown. Corner
Surround left and right speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 23 feet (60100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect six speakers and a powered subwoofer. No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass sound. Before using the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 32). To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and each individual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listeners ears at the same time (see page 48). In addition, you should set the level of each individual speaker to achieve an equal balance (see page 49.)
16
The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
Strip 5/8" (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the bare wires. Screw the terminal tight.
The following illustration shows which speakers should be connected to which terminals.

Notes: Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft. For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to the transmitter. Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc. For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment. Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. Using the 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter The 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter is not supplied with American and European models. The 75/300-ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect an FM antenna using either 75-ohm coaxial cable or 300-ohm twin-core at cable. Connecting 300-ohm Flat Cable
Insert the central conductor (1), as shown, and use a small pair of pliers to clamp the shielding and outer insulation sections of the cable (2), as shown.

Ret the adapters cover, and then plug the adapter into the 75 socket.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter Its best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
Using a screwdriver, loosen the two screws on the adapter, wrap the bare wires around the screws, and then retighten them, as shown. Plug the adapter into the 75 socket.

Basic Modes
Pure Audio (not North America)
This mode turns off the display, turns off the video circuitry, and minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a high delity sound thats true to the original. (Since the power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video signals are output while this mode is selected.)
Direct
The selected input source is output by the front left and right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure sound.
Stereo
This mode creates 6.1-channel surround from 2-channel analog sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode, which is suited to movies, and Music mode, which is for listening to music. Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that feature stereo sound. Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound eld that cannot be produced with conventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo source material such as music CDs.
Dolby Digital
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.
With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.
Dolby Digital EX
Surround Modes
Dolby Pro Logic II
Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV programs.
Dolby Pro Logic II Music

To use this function, in the Speaker Conguration, the Subwoofer setting must be set to Yes and the Front setting must be set to Large (see page 32). The Double Bass function works well with mono and 2channel sources, including 96 kHz PCM. On: Double Bass function on. Off: Double Bass function off. Late Night (Dolby Digital only) With this function you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levelsideal for watching movies late at night when you dont want to disturb anyone. Off: Late Night function off. Low: Small reduction in dynamic range. High: Big reduction in dynamic range. Note that the effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect. This function is turned off when the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E is set to Standby. Tip: You can also set this function by using the remote controllers [L NIGHT] button. CinemaFILTER With this function, you can soften the harshness, or brightness sometimes experienced with movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.

0 to 5: Adjustable range. When set to 5, nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When set to 0, the left and right channel levels are halved (6 dB), making the center channel more dominant, particularly useful when the listener is off-center. This function has no effect on the level of the center speaker.
Normally, the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E detects the signal format automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can set the signal format to PCM or DTS: If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM. If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD or LD, try setting the format to DTS.

Troubleshooting
Symptom The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E shuts down immediately after being turned on? Power Possible cause The amp protection system has been activated. The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E is muted and the MUTING indicator is on. Remedy Contact your Onkyo dealer. Unmute the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E (page 39). Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way. And make sure that the inputs and outputs of all components are connected properly (page 20). The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E is not connected properly. If your turntable doesnt have a built-in phono preamp, you must connect one between your turntable and the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must use a compatible phono preamp. The speaker cables are not connected properly. Theres no sound coming from the speakers? The wrong input source is selected. A pair of headphones are connected. The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. The volume is set at minimum. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct and that the bare wires are in contact with metal part of each speaker terminal (page 17). Select the correct input source (page 34). Disconnect the headphones (page 39). Set the input signal format to Auto (page 47). Turn up the volume (page 34). Specify which speakers are connected (page 32), the speaker distances (page 48) and adjust the individual speaker levels (page 49).
Check the digital audio output setting on the The source component is not outputting dig- connected device. On some games consoles, ital audio. such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off. A compatible digital audio format is not selected on the source component.

Symptom Possible cause The level of the surround back speaker is set at minimum. The Surround Back setting is set to None in the Speaker Conguration. The selected listening mode doesnt use the surround back speakers. Surround speaker output depends on the source material, and some material may not use the surround speakers much. The audio connecting cables at the rear of the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E are too close to the power cord. Remedy Check the volume of the surround back speaker (page 49). Check the Surround Back setting in the Speaker Conguration (page 32). Select another listening mode. See page 42 for information on listening modes. If youre playing a Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES source, make sure that the Dolby Digital/DTS setting is set to On (page 44). Untangle the audio cables and position them as far away as possible from the power cord. Adjust the treble (page 38). Check the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Conguration (page 32). Check the volume of the subwoofer (page 49, 35). Turn on speaker set A.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy Use the [TUNING MODE] button to select Manual Tuning mode, and tune the station in mono (page 36). Adjust the position, height, and direction of your FM antenna. Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably one with many elements. Installing an outdoor antenna is a specialist job, so contact your nearest dealer for advice (page 19). Install an outdoor antenna as far away as possible from nearby roads. Adjust the position or direction of your outdoor antenna. Move your antenna as far away as possible from uorescent lights. Relocate your AM antenna. Install an outdoor AM antenna (page 19). Move the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your TV. Move the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E as far away as possible from your TV. Preset your favorite radio stations again (page 37). The power cord must be plugged into a wall outlet a few times each month in order to preserve the presets. To prevent signal loops and damage to the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E, 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 components analog left and right outputs to a pair of analog inputs on the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E. Select the correct input source. See your recorders manual for more information.
Youre too far away from the transmitter. Or, your FM antenna is in the wrong position or pointing in the wrong direction. Or, the stations signal strength is poor.
Tuner
Interference is being caused by uorescent lights being turned on or off or by passing cars.
AM reception is hindered by a buzzing noise, especially at night or with weak signals? AM reception is hindered by a high-pitched noise?
The power cord has not been connected to a wall outlet, or the power has been turned off for an extended period. From the VIDEO 1 OUT, youre trying to record the signal being fed into the VIDEO 1 IN, or from the TAPE OUT, youre trying to record the signal being fed into the TAPE IN.
Recording
Youre playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material. You cannot record from an AV component that is connected digitally. The wrong input source is selected on your recorder. This is normal. The surround-sound effects produced by the listening modes cannot be recorded. The Late Night function only works with Dolby Digital. The multichannel input is not selected.
Cant record the surroundsound effects produced by the listening modes? The Late Night function doesnt work?
The AV component is not properly connected. This is normal. When you connect a pair of headphones, the Stereo listening mode is selected automatically. The Pure Audio listening mode is selected.
DIGITAL appears on the display when using a Dolby Digital source. Press the [MULTI CH] button to select the multichannel input (page 35). Connect the AV components 5.1-channel outputs to the TX-SR502/TX-SR502Es DVD IN FRONT, SURR, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER sockets (page 24).

The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least ve seconds, and then plug it back in again. That should x it. To reset the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. Clear will appear on the display and the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E will enter Standby mode.
