Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV controller is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight 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 AV controller is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con­troller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller, such as a book or magazine, because a button may be pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV controller 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 AV controller’s remote control sensor.

Connecting a Power Amplifier and Speakers

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV controller’s superb capabilities, 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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
Front left and right speakers
These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (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 position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the sub­woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front 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.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Posi­tion them behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.
Surround left and right 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 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.
1/3 of wall position

Connecting a Power Amplifier and Speakers
—Continued

Connecting Your Speakers

The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV con­troller’s PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers termi­nals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should use seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.
Number of speakers: 234567
Front left
Front right
Center
Surround left
Surround right
Surround back*
Surround back left
Surround back right
* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, use the SURR
BACK L output.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub­woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati­cally (see page 54) or manually (see page 99).

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward your TV or screen, while the surround back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R outputs can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers, respec­tively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to feed up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
•For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R outputs feed the front speakers’ woofer terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV controller, you must set the Speaker Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable bi-amping (see page 46).
Important:
When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.
See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV controller won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Once your AV controller is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV controller, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer­cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 27).

Notes:
• 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 your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi­ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz­ards.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon­tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right­channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• 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.
HDMI connections can carry uncompressed stan­dard- or high-definition digital video and audio and offer the best picture and sound quality.
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video jacks slightly differently.)
S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV controller 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 an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV controller by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver­sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 110).
HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
Use this setting if you connect the AV control­ler’s HDMI OUT to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV controller by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV controller does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals con­nected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.
