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.
And you can use THX Surround EX to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.
abFront speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-

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.

vide 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.
cCenter 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
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.
fSubwoofer
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
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
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height.
They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them at
least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (preferably as high as
possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front speakers.

• 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.
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.

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. (Supplied
speaker cables are already stripped.)
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.
Push-type speaker terminals
Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of
the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
(Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)
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 OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.

directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole
speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point
toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward
each other, as shown.

Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected
with an analog audio cable (connection D in the hookup
examples) (➔ 16).
Step 2:
Make the u connection (see illustration below).
Step 3:
If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,
change the Input Display (➔ 23).
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following
special functions:
■ System On/Auto Power On
When you start playback on a component connected via
u while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV
receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.
■ Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via
u, the AV receiver automatically selects that compo-
nent as the input source.
■ Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Onkyo components, point-
ing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote
control sensor instead of the component. You must enter
the appropriate remote control code first (➔ 61).
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 addi-
tional 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.
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct
Change u functions do not work.
• Do not use u connections if you use HDMI Control (RIHD)

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.
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to
the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
Video Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that
video signals pass through the system without upconver-

with composite video and component video sources all being
upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect audio component to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector

■ Signal Selection
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will
be selected automatically in the following order of priority:
HDMI, component video, composite video.
However, for component video only, regardless of whether a
component video signal is actually present, if a component
video input is assigned to the input selector, that component
video input will be selected. And if no component video
input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted
as no component video signal being present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video
signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video
inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected
as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio component can be connected by using any of the
following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver 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 VCR/DVR OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs
will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.
