About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’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. With Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. 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).

abFront speakers (Left and Right)

1/3 of wall

position

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

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 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.

c Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s 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.

deSurround speakers (Left and Right)

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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

f Subwoofer(s)

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.

ghSurround back speakers (Left and Right)

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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.

ijFront high speakers (Left and Right)

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (➔ 54). 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 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.

• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR/ZONE 4 L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK/ZONE 3

L/R, FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R, or FRONT HIGH L/R terminals.

• 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.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

• 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.

Connecting the Speaker 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.

Using 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.

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 SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L terminal.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts 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 receiver is able to drive up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room.

• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals; the SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable bi-amping (➔ 54).

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 be used only with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.

Video Connection Formats

Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality. The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting (➔ 50), 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).

To by-pass video upconversion in the AV receiver, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and Return on the AV receiver. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press Return to toggle until “Skip” appears on the display. Release both buttons.

To use the video upconversion in the AV receiver, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and release the buttons.

■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect the AV

receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB,

Composite

respectively, to your TV.

The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Note

• If not connected to the same output you have selected in the “Monitor Out” setting, the “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically

switched to “Analog” (➔ 23). In this case, the setting of the output resolution will be that for HDMI output (➔ 50). Moreover, it will be switched to “1080i” when “1080p” or “1080p/24” is selected, and to “Through” when “Auto” is selected.

Audyssey MultEQ®XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (➔ 60).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔ 60), the “Equalizer” setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔ 56). On the other hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting will be set to “Off” (➔ 61).

It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 8 positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32

Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to 8 positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

■ First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ XT32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

■ Second

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to 8 positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.
