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 passive 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 manually (➔ page 29).

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)

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.

Connected image with 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.

AV Cables and Jacks

Available sampling rate for PCM input signal is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. Even 176.4/192 kHz is effective in case of the HDMI connection.

Note

• The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

• The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type 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.

About AV Connections

Video and Audio

HDMI HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.

Video Component video Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color

difference signals (P

B, PR), providing the best picture

quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).

Composite video Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and

• “Connection Tips and Video Signal Path” (➔ page 48)

• “About HDMI” (➔ page 49)

• “Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder” (➔ page 50)

■ 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 (➔ page 35).

• To use ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must support ARC function and “HDMI

Ctrl(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 34).

Tip

• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers: – Set the “HDMI Ctrl(RIHD)” setting to “On” for an p-compatible TV. – Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ page 35) 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 14).

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 the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 35) 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 35) 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.

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 41).

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 other Onkyo components.

See “Recording” on the recording (➔ page 26).

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.

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.
