2.Keep these instructions.
3.Heed all warnings.
4.Follow all instructions.
5.Do not use this apparatus near water.
6.Clean only with dry cloth.
7.Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A.When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
C.If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
D.If the apparatus does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
E.If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F.When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service.
16.Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.
17.Batteries
Always consider the environmental issues and follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.
18.If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.

Precautions
1.Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2.AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the HT-R520 is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the HT-R520, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3.Care—Occasionally you should dust the HT-R520 all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the HT-R520 immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4.Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the HT-R520’s rear panel (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the HT-R520. If you do not intend to use the HT-R520 for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
Memory backup
The HT-R520 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the HT-R520 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the HT-R520 will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
For U.S. models
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Notes:
•The remote controller may not work reliably if the HT-R520 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 HT-R520 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
•Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
•The remote controller may not work reliably if the HT-R520 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 HT-R520’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Your Speakers
Enjoying Home Theater
You can use two sets of speakers with the HT-R520: speaker set A and speaker set B.
Speaker set A (HTP-520) should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround material. Each speaker must be positioned at a specific location in your listening room to get the best from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your surround-sound speakers. Speaker set B can be installed in another room and used with stereo and mono material. Speakers can be positioned in the standard position for stereo speakers or however you like.

Speaker Configuration
To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and each individual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see page 46). In addition, you should set the level of each individual speaker to achieve an equal balance (see page 47.)

Connecting Your Speakers—Continued
Connecting Your Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
•Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
•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 odd.
•Only use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 8 ohms may damage the HT-R520.
•Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
•Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative connections. Doing so may damage the HT-R520.
•Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the HT-R520.
•If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not both.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
FM 75
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 the 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.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable

ANTENNA
AM
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.
■ 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.

Connecting the HT-R520
Before Making Any Connections
•Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The HT-R520’s optical digital inputs 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.
RCA AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan- nel 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.

■ MONITOR OUT
Video signals received by the video inputs are output by the MONITOR OUT sockets for display on the connected TV or projector.
The HT-R520 has three types of video output: composite video, S-Video, and component video. Connect the appropriate output to your TV or projector (see page 22).
Which Connections Should I Use?
The HT-R520 offers several interconnection 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 equipment you need to use two cables—one for video, one for audio.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R520 using one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R520 doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not by any composite video or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R520 using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R520 doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.
