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.

Corner
position
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.
c 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.
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.
f 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.
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.

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. You can do this automatically (➔ 24) or manually (➔ 39).

✔✔✔
• 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

■ 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.

Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and
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. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use

Using Audyssey 2EQ
®
Using Audyssey 2EQ to create a listening environment in
your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to 3 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. 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.

What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by
the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,
rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:
■ PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds.
■ RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text
information, the text will be shown on the display as
described in the next section.
■ PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type
(➔ 28).
■ TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that
broadcast traffic information (➔ 28).
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.
Select the preset that you want to delete.

See the previous section.
While holding down MEMORY, press TUNING

The RT information scrolls across the display.
Note
• The message “Waiting” may appear while the AV receiver waits
