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, 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.
a Front speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide
a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the
a
1/3 of wall
position
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.
e

g
Corner
position
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.
b Center 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.
c Surround 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.
d Surround back speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix,
DTS-ES Discrete, 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.
e Front high speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and
Audyssey DSX™. 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.
f Front wide speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly
enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the front
speakers. See also
optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.
g Subwoofer
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.

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.
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all
red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).
Speaker Color
Front left, Front high left, Front wide left White
Front right, Front high right, Front wide right Red
Center Green
Surround left Blue
Surround right Gray
Surround back left, Zone 2 left Brown
Surround back right, Zone 2 right Tan
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and
you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each
speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all
you need to do is to match the color of each label to the
corresponding speaker terminal.
En
11
• 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.
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.
Using Banana Plugs
• 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.
1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)
3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)
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 OR FRONT WIDE L terminals.

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.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
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 (➔ 34).
■ 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.

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.
