TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO
USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
Ventilation
Caution
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with these instructions.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your
system and to protect it from over-heating.
The openings should never be blocked by placing
your system on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This system should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless correct
ventilation is provided or these instructions have
been adhered to.
Power cord
Caution
We recommend that most appliances be placed
upon a dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit
which powers only that appliance and has no
additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this manual for power
requirements.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked
wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the power cord. If its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of your system, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized service provider.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed
in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits
your receiver.
To disconnect power from the outlet, pull out the
plug. When installing your system, make sure that the
plug is easily accessible.

Setting up your home
theater system
Finding a location for your home theater
system
• Install your home theater system on a stable flat
surface. Position your receiver so that it has a
direct line of sight to the remote control.
• Do not expose your system to extremes of
temperature or humidity.
• Avoid placing your system on a hot surface such
as on top of other hot running equipment. Make
sure that there is adequate ventilation to your
system.
Caution
Do not install the receiver in a confined space such as
a bookcase.
www.insigniaproducts.com
Caution
Connect the AC cord only after the speakers,
antenna, and all optional equipment have been
connected. Never make or change any
connections with the power turned on.

Insignia NS-R5101AHD-A AV Home Theater Receiver
Placing your speakers
1 - Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making
sound movements distinct and providing a
full-sound image. In movies it is used mainly for
dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at
about ear level, or at the same height as the front
speakers.
2 - Front speakers
These provide the overall sound. Their role in a
home theater system is to provide a solid anchor for
the sound image. They should be positioned facing
the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from
the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,
with the listener at the apex.
3 - 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.
Tip
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.
4 - Surround 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 two to three feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear
level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the
listener.
Speaker precautions
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the
speakers. If liquid is spilled on the speakers, they
may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat
surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them
on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may
fall and cause damage, affects the sound quality.
• If the subwoofer is placed near a turntable, CD
player, or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, howling or
slipping of the sound may occur. To prevent this,
move the unit away from the turntable, CD player,
or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, or lower the
subwoofer’s output level.
Connecting your speakers to the receiver
Speaker configuration
The following table indicates the channels you
should use depending on the number of speakers
that you have. For 5.1-channel surround-sound
playback, you need five speakers and a powered
subwoofer.
Number of channels 2345
Front speakers
Center speaker
Surround speakers
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. You can do
this automatically (see “Using the Audyssey 2EQ®
room correction and speaker setup” on page 14, or
manually (see “Configuring speakers (Sp Config
menu) on page 21).
Attaching the speaker cable labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are
all red. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all
black.)
SpeakerColor
Front leftWhite
Front rightRed
CenterGreen
Surround leftBlue
Surround rightGray
The supplied speaker cable labels are also
color-coded. 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.
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.

www.insigniaproducts.com
Insignia NS-R5101AHD-A AV Home Theater Receiver
• 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 receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not
have contact with the receiver’s rear panel. Doing
so may damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
To connect the subwoofer:
1 Using a subwoofer RCA cable, connect the AV
receiver's SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an
input on your powered subwoofer, as shown.

To connect the speaker cables:
1 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.
2 Loosen the speaker terminals on the receiver
and insert the speaker wires into the terminals.
The following illustration shows which speaker
should be connected to each pair of terminals.
3 Tighten the terminals to secure the wire.
Tips
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the
speaker terminal before inserting the banana
plug.
• Do not insert the speaker wire directly into the
center hole of the speaker terminal.
Connecting devices
Warni ng
Do not plug the AC cord into the AC outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
• Be sure to observe the color coding when
connecting audio and speaker cords.
• Make connections firmly and correctly. Failure
to do this can cause loss of sound, add noise to
the sound, or damage your receiver.
Connecting the antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied
indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the
antenna to use the tuner.
