Connecting the AV Receiver

Connecting the Speaker Cables
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one
surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L PRE OUT jack.
Connect your Power amplifier’s analog audio input jacks to the AV receiver’s SURROUND BACK L/R PRE OUT
jacks with audio cables.
Screw-type speaker terminals
Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from
the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
Banana Plugs (North American models)
If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should use
depending on the number of speakers that you have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings automatically
( page 28) or manually ( page 41).
*1
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to
the SURROUND BACK L PRE OUT jack.
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels
The speaker terminals (and preout jacks) are color-coded
for identification purpose.
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and
you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each
speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all
you need to do is to match the color of each label to the
corresponding speaker terminal.
Note
With the Home Theater System, speaker cable labels are not
supplied.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
You can connect speakers with an impedance of between
6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels
for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection
circuit may be activated.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
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 negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have
contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may
damage the AV receiver.
Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using a Powered Subwoofer
To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing
a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by
placing your subwoofer at various positions within the
room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying
results.
Tip
If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external
amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the
amplifier.

Connecting AV components
Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Audio return channel (ARC) function
Audio return channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the
AV receiver.
To use the ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must be ARC capable and “HDMI Ctrl
(RIHD)” must be set to “On” ( page 48).
Tip
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
Set the “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting to “On” ( page 48) for an p-compatible TV.
Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” ( page 48) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)
setting to “Off”.
Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” ( page 16).
Note
When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV
screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to
another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.
•When theAudio TV Out” setting is set to “On” ( page 48) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s
volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the
HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting is set to On
( page 48) to hear from speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers
will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings,
change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

How to record a video source
See “Recording” to make a connection for video recording ( page 37).
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following
special functions:
System On/Auto Power On
When you start playback on a component connected via
u, while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV
receiver will automatically turn on and select that
component as the input source.
Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via
u, the AV receiver automatically selects that
component as the input source.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to
control your other u-capable Onkyo components,
pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s
remote control sensor instead of the component. You
must enter the appropriate remote control code first
( page 56).
Note
•Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting
additional u-capable components.
Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.
Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to
the manuals supplied with your Onkyo components.
While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct
Change u functions do not work.
See “Recording” on the recording ( page 37).
Note
The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is
not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to
the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver,
connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals
supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.
Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only
analog inputs can be recorded.
DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog
recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
(European, Australian and Asian models) While the listening
mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the
power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make
recordings, select other listening mode.
Connecting Onkyo u Components
1
Make sure that each Onkyo component is
connected with an analog audio cable (connection
G in the hookup examples) ( page 16).
2
Make the u connection (see the illustration).

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use
the tuner.
Note
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible
reception.
Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
Tip
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor
AM antenna.
Note
Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and AV components.
Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power
surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a
different branch circuit.
Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV
receiver. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for
use with the AV receiver and should not be used with any other
equipment.
Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver while the
other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause
an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet first, and then the AV receiver.
