Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “On” for the first time.
• If you set “Audio Return Channel” to “Auto”, the “Audio
Selector” settings of the TV/CD input selector will be
automatically switched to “ARC” (
➔ page 72 ).
■ Lip Sync
` Off
` On
This function allows the AV receiver to automatically
correct any delay between the video and the audio, based

and OSD 30 seconds before the Auto Standby comes on.

models), Off (North American models)
Note
• Set to “ On” , the Auto Standby function may activate itself during
playback with some sources.
• The Auto Standby function does not work when Zone 2/3 is on.
Network
This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s
network settings manually.
If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to
change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to
use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e.,
DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s
DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static
IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in
which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is
essential.
What’s DHCP?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by
routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to
automatically configure themselves on a network.
What’s DNS?
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain
names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a
domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web
browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS
to translate this into an IP address, in this case
63.148.251.142.
■ MAC Address
This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control)
address. This address cannot be changed.
After changing the settings of the “HDMI
Control(RIHD)”, “HDMI Through” or “Audio
Return Channel”, turn off the power on all connected
pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer
to the user’s manuals for all connected pieces of
equipment.
After modifying the network settings, you must confirm
the changes by executing “Save”.
