Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the TX-L55 is not
user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-L55,
contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the TX-L55
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-L55 immediately
afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents,
because they may damage the finish or remove the
panel lettering.
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by
qualified service personnel.
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 mark-
ings 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.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION 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-L55’s rear
panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
IMPORTANT
A 5 or 13 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replace-
ment fuse has a rating of 5 or 13 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.
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] button to STANDBY
does not fully shutdown the TX-L55. If you do not
intend to use the TX-L55 for an extended period,
remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
Memory backup
The TX-L55 uses a battery-less memory backup system
in order to retain radio presets and other settings when
it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, the TX-L55 must be
plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup
system.
Once it has been charged, the TX-L55 will retain the
settings for several weeks, although this depends on the
environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-L55 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in
mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the TX-L55 is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con-
troller may not work reliably.
Put the cover onto the remote controller
and slide it shut.
3
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-L55 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the TX-L55’s remote control
sensor.
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as pos-
sible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
With the TX-L55’s superb functionality you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own
home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
For best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX, use a THX-certified THX speaker system.
With DVDs you can enjoy DTS, Dolby Digital, and THX soundtracks. With TV and satellite broadcasts you can enjoy
Onkyo’s original DSP surround listening modes.
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the lis-
tener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Surround back speaker
This speaker furthers enhance
the realism of surround sound
and improve sound localiza-
tion behind the listener. Posi-
tion it behind the listener about
2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above
ear level.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to yourTV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
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 posi-
tion. 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.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con-
nect six speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should
use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, as a
bare minimum you need to do the Speaker Setup (see
“Speaker Setup” on page 30). This consists of automati-
cally detecting which speakers are connected and adjust-
ing the volume level of each speaker. For a more detailed
setup, you should specify which speakers are connected
and their sizes (see page 48), adjust the subwoofer cross-
over frequency (see page 49), specify the distance from
each speaker to the listening position (see page 50), and
then adjust the volume level of each speaker (see

bass sound.

Connecting Speakers
Connecting the Front Speaker Cables
Connecting Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
odd.

• Only use speakers with an impedance of between 6
and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower imped-
ance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a
long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may
be activated.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the posi-

Connecting Antenna
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
Connecting Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and how to connect commercially available
outdoor FM antenna.
The TX-L55 won’t pick up any radio signals without any
antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to
use the tuner.
Notes:
FM antenna socket
• 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.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from pos-
sible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,
etc.
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully
into the socket.
Once the TX-L55 is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi-
tion of the FM antenna to achieve the best possi-
ble reception.
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.

■ 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 flat cable.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
■ Connecting 300-ohm Flat Cable

Connecting AV Components
RCA AV Connection Color Coding
Before Making Any Connections
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The TX-L55’s optical digital inputs have shutter-type
covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and
close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The TX-L55 supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you
choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make two connections—one for the audio, one for the video.
Video Connection Formats
Audio Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the TX-L55 by
using one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the lat-
ter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the TX-L55 doesn’t convert between formats, so only
outputs of the same format as the input will output the
signal.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the
S DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the
S MONITOR OUT (for your TV), but not by any com-
posite video or component video outputs.
Audio equipment can be connected to the TX-L55 using
the following audio connection formats: analog, optical,
coaxial, and multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the TX-L55 doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPT or
COAX digital input are not output by the analog
VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT, so if you want to record from,
for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it
to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog
AUX IN.

soundtrack, or to select the multilingual soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.
It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
• Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of move-
ment 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 field that cannot be produced with con-
ventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo source
material such as music CDs.
Direct
The selected input source is output by the front left and
right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure
sound.
Stereo
Dolby Digital
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the

DTS
This digital surround format offers a sur-
round sound experience with exceptional
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio
data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and has
the ability to handle large amounts of audio data while
remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very
high-quality sound.You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode
with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
Dolby Pro Logic II Game
Use this mode with video games that feature stereo
sound.

Listening Mode Indicators
DTS-ES
DTS-ES supports up to 6.1 channels. The TX-L55 sup-
ports both DTS-ES Discrete and DTS-ES Matrix.
The following table shows the display indication for
each listening mode.
Discrete mode is for use with DTS 6.1
material. With an additional surround-back
channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a real-
istic sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs,
DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.
Matrix mode creates 6.1-channel sur-
round from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS
5.1 includes surround-back channel infor-
mation, the channel can be reconstructed
for playback on 6.1-channel systems. Use
this mode with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-
ES or DTS logo.

music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in
this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and clarity to voices.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, stereo audio is output by the
front, surround, and surround back channels, filling the
entire listening area.

What to Do If You Can’t Select a Listening Mode
• Is the source component connected digitally? The
Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can be
selected only if your DVD player is connected to the
TX-L55 with a digital audio (coaxial or optical) con-
nection (see page 23).
• The Dolby Digital or DTS listening modes can be
selected only when the input signal is Dolby Digital or
DTS, respectively.
• Check the digital output settings on the source compo-
nent. If the digital output is set to PCM, change it so
that other signal formats can be output as well.

You can record audio and video from two separate
sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video
recordings. This works because when an audio-only
input source (i.e., TUNER, TV, or AUX) is selected, the
video input source remains the same. For example, if you
select the VIDEO 2 input source, followed by the AUX
input source, you can watch video from the VIDEO 2
input while listening to audio from the AUX input.
In the following example, audio from a CD player con-
nected to the AUX IN sockets, and video from a cam-
corder connected to theVIDEO 2 IN socket are recorded
by a VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT
sockets.

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) material. With
this function you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
3)
All of the audio adjust functions are explained below.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo sound balance.

PL II & PL IIx Music Modes & Audio Adjust
The following Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width
functions can be used with only the Pro Logic II Music
or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. They cannot be
adjusted if you’re using the Pro Logic IIx listening mode
for 6.1-channel playback from a 5.1-channel source.
■ Panrma (Panorama)
With this function you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
■ Dimension
With this function you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default setting is 3.
Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher set-
tings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
■ C Width (Center Width)
With this function you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.
If you’re using a center speaker, with Pro Logic II or Pro
Logic IIx, the center channel sound is output by only the
center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the
center channel sound will be distributed to the front left
and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This set-
ting controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel
sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default 3).

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using your TX-L55, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Only the front speakers produce sound?
• When the Stereo listening mode is selected, only the
front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• When the Direct listening mode is selected, only the
front speakers produce sound.
Power
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
Can’t turn on the TX-L55?
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into
the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five
seconds or more, then plug the cable in again.
Only the center speaker produces sound?
• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie/Music or Pro Logic
IIx Movie/Music listening mode with a mono source,
such as a mono TV program, the sound is concentrated
in the center speaker.
The TX-L55 turns off as soon as it’s turned on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-
ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
The surround speakers produce no sound?
• When the Stereo or Direct listening mode is selected,
the surround speakers produce no sound (page 42).
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,
not much sound may be produced by the surround
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
Audio
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet?
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 20).
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-
nents are connected properly (page 20).
• 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 16)
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected
(page 33).
• Check the volume setting. It can be set to MIN, 1
through 79, or MAX (page 33).
The TX-L55 is designed for home theater enjoyment.
It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjust-
ment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to
unmute the TX-L55 (page 34).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers
(page 35).
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-
nected component. On some games consoles, such as
those that play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a DVD-Video disc menu.
• Make sure that the correct input signal audio format is
selected (page 51).
• To use a turntable with an MC-type cartridge requires
a commercially available MC phono preamp
(page 28).
The center speaker produces no sound?
• When the Mono, Stereo, or Direct listening mode is
selected, the center speaker produces no sound
(page 42).
• When the Orchestra listening mode is selected, the
center speaker produces no sound (page 42).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
The surround back speakers produce no
sound?
• The surround back speakers are not used with all lis-
tening modes. Select another listening mode
(page 39).
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround
back speakers with some sources.
• If you are using a Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES
source, make sure that the Dolby Digital/DTS setting
is set to On (page 43).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
The subwoofer produces no sound?
• When playing material that contains no information in
the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 48).
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,
twisted, or damaged.
• Not all listening modes use all of the speakers
(page 42).
• Specify the speaker distances (page 50) and adjust the
individual speaker levels (page 30).

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 20).
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-
nected.
• The TX-L55 doesn’t convert between video formats.
It works as a video signal switcher. Composite video
input signals are output only by the composite video
output. S-Video input signals are output only by the
S-Video output. And component video input signals
are output only by the component video outputs.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the TX-L55 is connected is selected.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes
cannot be selected (page 42).
Can’t select the DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix orTHX
Surround EX listening modes?
• These modes cannot be selected when no surround
back speakers are connected.
The volume won’t go up to 79?
• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated
Tuner
(page 30), the maximum volume setting may change.
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is
noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the TX-L55 away from your TV or computer.
• Try using the AUTO FM mode (page 36).
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If none of the above improves reception, install an out-
door antenna.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 44).
The DVD multichannel input doesn’t work?
• Check the DVD MULTI CH IN connections
(page 24).
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 7).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries or old and new batteries (page 7).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the TX-L55, and that there’s no obstruction
between the remote controller and the TX-L55’s
remote control sensor (page 7).
• Set the audio input signal format to Multich (page 51).
About DTS signals
• When DTS playback finishes and the DTS bitstream
stops, the TX-L55 remains in DTS listening mode and
the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise
when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse
function on your player. If you switch your player
from DTS to PCM, because the TX-L55 does not
switch formats immediately, you may not hear any
sound, in which case you should stop your player for
about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the TX-L55.
This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been
processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or fre-
quency response changed) and the TX-L55 doesn’t
recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases,
you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS material, using the pause, fast for-
ward, or fast reverse function on your player may pro-
duce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

Troubleshooting—Continued
• Make sure that the TX-L55 is not subjected to direct
sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate
if necessary.
• If the TX-L55 is installed in a rack or cabinet with col-
ored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work
reliably when the doors are closed.
To reset the TX-L55 to its factory defaults, turn it on and,
while holding down the [ ] TUNING button, press the
[STANDBY/ON] button. When the reset is complete,
“Clear” appears on the display and the TX-L55 enters
Standby mode.
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 11).
• When using the remote controller to control other
manufacturers’AV components, some buttons may
not work as expected.
Onkyo cannot be held responsible for damages (such
as CD rental fees) due to recording failures caused by
the unit malfunctioning. Before recording something
important, do a trial run to make sure that everything is
working properly.
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code.
Memory backup
The TX-L55 uses a battery-less memory backup sys-
tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, it must be plugged
into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the TX-L55 will retain the
settings for several weeks, although this depends on
the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
Can’t control other components?
• If it’s an Onkyo DVD player, make sure that the
cable and analog audio cable (RCA) are connected
properly. Connecting only an
(page 29).
cable won’t work
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (pages 11, 12, and 14).
Recording
Can’t record?
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected.
• Digital signals cannot be recorded.
Others
The sound changes when I connect my head-
phones?
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already Stereo or
Direct. When you disconnect the headphones, the pre-
vious listening mode is resumed.
Can’t use an audio adjust function?
• Some audio adjust functions can’t be used with certain
listening modes.
The speaker distance cannot be set as
required?
• If the distance between the furthest and nearest speak-
ers is greater than 20 feet (6 meters), corrected values
suitable for home theater use will be set automatically
(page 50).
The TX-L55 contains a microcomputer for signal pro-
cessing 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
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it
back in again.
