•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
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.
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.
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.
Corner position
1/3 of wall position
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.
21
Connecting a Power Amplifier and Speakers—Continued
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.

*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).
Using Dipole Speakers
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.

Connecting a Power Amplifier and Speakers—Continued
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.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.
Once your AV controller is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 27).
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.
2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

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).
■ 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 circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

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.
■ Other Models

Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
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.

•Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.
•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV controller’s optical digital jacks have shuttertype covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Cables and Jacks
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.

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.

■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to No
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to No (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this setting if you connect the AV controller’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT 1 or COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR
OUT 2/ZONE 2 OUT to your TV.
Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is downconverted to composite video. Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs.
The composite video, S-Video, and component video pass through their respective input signals as they are.
