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 unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit 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 unit 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 unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select Standby mode does not fully disconnect from the mains. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

5. Preventing Hearing Loss Caution

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

6. Batteries and Heat Exposure Warning

Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or the like.

7. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

8. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original

packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for

a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after

prolonged use. This is normal.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not

work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Tip

• You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are connected in the “Speaker Configuration” menu (➔ page 44) or during Audyssey 2EQ

• The speakers you can connect will differ depending on the speaker system that you have.

Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 30).

■ Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from

1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm)

the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

■ 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

3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm)

speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

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 powered 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 automatically (➔ page 30) or manually (➔ page 43).

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose.

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.

Speaker Color

Front left, Zone 2 left White Front right, Zone 2 right Red Center Green Surround left Blue Surround right Gray Surround back left, Front high left Brown Surround back right, Front high right Tan

• 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.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back 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 dipole speakers (A) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (B) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

TV/screen

Using a Powered Subwoofer

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.

Tip

• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Tip

• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers: – Set the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting to “On” (➔ page 54) for an p-compatible TV. – Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ page 55) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI Control

(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 17).

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.

•As the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 55) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV receiver’s speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the (➔ page 54) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers from producing sound, you can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.

Using Basic Functions

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® 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 2EQ 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. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (➔ pages 48, 49). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from

one position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the

measurement from three positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Note

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.

• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup run.

• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

a to c: Listening position

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three 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.

a 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. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
