Features

General

The ONKYO Digital Surround processor ED-301 is a product that fills

your home with the excitement of Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround

soundtracks by using up to six loudspeakers including a subwoofer,

generating sound fields optimized for your room.

The ED-301 also features the Cinema Re-EQ circuit for the reproduc-

tion of cinema soundtracks at home, the Midnight Theater function for

low sound volume playing late at night, and the LFE (Low Frequency

Effects) function for comfortable bass range reproduction.

What's Dolby Digital?

Dolby Digital is a new-generation digital audio format for multi-

channel surround audio.

Adding to conventional five full range channels, Dolby Digital supports

one LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, which is used solely for

correcting the bass range through an independent subwoofer. Dolby

Digital is sometimes referred to as 5.1-channel format since this LFE

channel is calculated as 0.1.

This fully discrete 5.1-channel Dolby Digital format can deliver sound

of wide and dynamic range, reproducing theater-like sound fields in

your room.

Features

Dolby* Digital and Dolby Pro Logic decoding

The ED-301 can decode both 5.1-channel sounds from software

having Dolby Digital encoded soundtracks such as DVDs and

Dolby Pro Logic format stereo media such as LDs, video cassette

tapes and satellite broadcasts.

5.1-channel input

The ED-301 can receive multi-channel (analog) signals directly

from other format (DTS, MPEG Multichannel, etc.) decoders and

output to amplifiers.

Two types of 5.1-channel audio output

5.1-channel signals can be output in two ways. You can use either the

independent multi-channel audio output jacks (RCA type) or the DB-

25 connector compatible with ONKYO TX-SV919THX/TX-

SV828THX Surround Receiver.

Motorola 24-bit DSP (56009)

The ED-301 incorporates the latest technology Motorola DSP chip

as the Dolby Digital decoder.

Two lines of input each for digital and analog connection

The ED-301 has two digital input terminals, one for connection

using a coaxial cable and the other for connection using an optical

cable. It also features dual audio (analog) and video input lines, so

you can select from two input modes.

Cinema Re-EQ** circuit

Re-Equalization takes the edginess or "brighteness" out of your

home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed for

theaters will sound too bright when played back through speakers

in the home environment.

Midnight Theater function

This function is provided for playing at night. It narrows the

dynamic range to reproduce comfortable sound at low volumes.

LFE (Low Frequency Effects) function

This function reduces overemphasized bass sound by attenuating

the low-frequency range by 10 dB.

Setting the voltage selector (Worldwide model only)

Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform

with local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the power

supply in your area before plugging in the unit.

1. Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-230 V or 120 V.

2. If the preset voltage does not conform to your area, insert a

screwdriver into the groove in the switch. Slide the switch all the

way to the right (120 V) or to the left (220-230 V), whichever is

appropriate.

Connections

The ED-301 may be connected to either a single amplifier with 5.1-channel input (ONKYO's TX-SV919THX/828THX/646/545/454/444, etc.) or three

independent power amplifiers.

If the player has an optical output terminal, connect it to INPUT-1 (OPTICAL). If the player has a coaxial output terminal, connect it to INPUT-2 (COAXIAL).

Note:

• Do not turn on any component until you have completed all connections.

• Insert the plugs and connectors securely. Remember that improper connection can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

• Do not bind audio connection cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so causes degraded sound quality.

• Remove the protective cap attached to the INPUT-1 (OPTICAL) terminal before making connection. When this terminal is not in use, replace

the protective cap.

• To connect players, use cables supplied with the equipment or the proper commercially available cables.

• If your speakers are connected via three independent power amplifiers, do not connect an external decoder or DVD player to the MULTI-

CHANNEL AUDIO INPUT jacks of the ED-301. Doing so may cause damage to the power amplifiers or speakers because there is no means of

adjusting the output level.

Output level setting

Set the output level for each speaker type using the test tone. You may

fine-tune the output level for the playing source later.

When setting the output level...

Use a sound pressure level (dB) meter for determining the output level of

speakers. Human ears hear the sound from subwoofers quieter than the

actual level, resulting in setting a higher output level than is optimal.

Note:

The output level of the ED-301 has been set to the maximum level (0 dB)

at the factory.

If your ED-301 is connected to power amplifiers, set the output level of

each power amplifier at a low level before turning on the ED-301.

1 Press POWER.

2 Press INPUT-1 or INPUT-2.

Skip this step if the desired input mode is already selected.

Do not press MULTI-CH INPUT or you will be unable to go on to

the next and later steps.

3-1 Press the VOLUME button of the ED-301 and keep it

depressed until the display shows 0 dB (the maximum).

3-2 Adjust the output level by using the output level control of

your A/V amplifier.

If the amplifier’s input level is too high, use the VOLUME

control button of the ED-301 to decrease the ED-301’s output

level.

If no sound is heard, check if the ED-301 is selected on the

amplifier’s input selector.

3-1 Press VOLUME (a) and keep it depressed until the display

shows –50 dB.

If you use three integrated amplifiers, set the output level of

each amplifier to a normally used level.

The output level setting range is between -∞ (minimum) and

-88 to 0 dB (maximum).

Press the VOLUME a or s button and release it when the

value you wish to set is displayed. The displayed value can be

changed in increments of 1 dB by pressing and releasing the

button immediately.

Playing surround sounds

The ED-301 can decode signals from the following format sources:

•

Dolby Digital encoded software (DVD video discs with the

)

• PCM format digital sounds (delivered by CD, MD or BS)

• Dolby Pro Logic format surround software (VHS stereo or VHS hi-fi

cassettes, laser discs, and DVD with the

)

Notes:

• This product cannot process 96-kHz sampling frequency digital

signals and other format digital signals such as MPEG.

• To play laser discs with the DOLBY DIGITAL logo, an AC-3RF

demodulator is required.

Automatic judgment of Dolby Digital signals

In the "OPTICAL" or "COAXIAL" input mode, the ED-301 judges the

encoding format of the input signal and, if it is found to be a Dolby

Digital format signal, automatically switches to the correct decoding

mode.

* When the decoding mode is switched, depending on the Dolby Digital

software or playing equipment, a skipped sound or noise may be caused at

an early stage of reproduction.

After playing,

always turn down the output level of the ED-301 or A/V amplifier

before turning off the unit.
