Connections

Connecting the AV Receiver

Connecting the Speaker Cables

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 SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Tip

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

during Audyssey 2EQ

Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 30).

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

■ 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.)

■ 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.)

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 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).

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the

same time.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification

purpose.

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.

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.

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.

Connecting 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).

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).

Analog RGB This is a conventional analog interface to connect a PC and

a display device (also called D-Sub or D-subminiature).

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

• “About HDMI” (➔ page 81)

• “Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder” (➔ page 82)

■ 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.

• This function can be used when:

– your TV is ARC capable, and

–the TV/CD input selector is selected, and

–“HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On”(➔ page 54), and

–“Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (➔ page 55).

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

“HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”

(➔ 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.

■ How to record a video source

With the connections described above, you cannot record the videos through the AV receiver. See “Recording” about

connections for video recording (➔ page 40).

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

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 65).

Note

•Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied

with Onkyo components.

• 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 Onkyo components.

• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct

Change u functions do not work.

See “Recording” for details on recording (➔ page 40).

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. For example, 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.

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type

(➔ page 29).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast traffic information (➔ page 29).

Note

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver

may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also,

unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported

characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be

displayed intermittently or not at all.

On the remote controller, press TUNER repeatedly

to select “AM” or “FM”, followed by D.TUN.

(Actual display depends on the country.)

Using Basic Functions

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

and

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.

Measurement procedure

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.

b Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

c Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position a to b and a to c must be

at least 1 meter (3.3 ft).

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.

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.

On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver

is connected.

On the subwoofer, set the OUTPUT LEVEL

control to THX POSITION.

Set the speaker setup microphone at the Main

Listening Position a, and connect it to the SETUP

MIC jack.

The speaker setting menu appears.

Note

• The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is

connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is

connected to other video outputs, use the AV

receiver’s display when changing settings.
