Amplifier Precautions
Before using the power amplifier M-5000R, be sure to read the page above entitled Important Safety Instructions and this page of Amplifier Precautions.
Ventilation
While using the M-5000R, the internal temperature will fairly rise. Excessive temperature rise may affect the amplifier performance. To prevent damage from occurring due to high internal temperatures, it is vital to have proper ventilation and passage of air to carry out the heat and keep the internal temperature within acceptable ranges.
Caution
•Do not place the M-5000R inside cabinets or closets where there is poor passage of air and ventilation.
•Do not place the M-5000R near external heat sources such as heaters or hot air ducts.
•Do not place other components or object on top of or under the M-5000R.
•The cover of the M-5000R contains ventilation holes to allow the passage of air. Do not cover or block these holes in any way.
If you are planning to place it within a cabinet, either open holes in the rear panel of the cabinet to improve ventilation or use a fan to force air circulation.
As a general rule, if during idling the cover is too hot to touch, then ventilation needs to be improved.
Installation location and space
Make sure that the floor or cabinet or rack where it will be located is strong enough to support its weight.
You will also need to leave enough space behind the M-5000R to allow room for the power cord and other cables for connecting system components. A minimum of 10 cm (4") is required behind the M-5000R to allow room for the cables and cords without excessively bending them.
Do not place the M-5000R near TV or radio. This may cause noise or instable video on radio or TV respectively.
Power cord
Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the M-5000R. The power cord supplied is designed for use with the M-5000R and should not be used with any other device.
Be sure to only use wall sockets that properly fit the plug of the power cord. If the socket does not match the plug of the power cord, you will need to prepare an adapter.
Always use an adapter that is properly certified for this application.
Speakers
Connected speakers should have an impedance of 4 ohms or greater.
If speakers with an impedance of less than 4 ohms are connected to RCA jacks, it may damage the M-5000R. If a speaker with an impedance of less than 6 ohms are connected to an XLR jack, it may damage the M-5000R. 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 amplifier.
Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the power amplifier’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the power amplifier.
Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the power amplifier. Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
(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.

Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other Chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
Whenever performing maintenance on the M-5000R, any of its supplied accessories, or any device connected to it, do not use solvents or cleaners of any kind that are inflammable or combustible.
When you clean the input/output terminals on the rear panel, do not use contact restorer. Doing so may cause resin deterioration.
By factory default, the meters are treated with antistatic coating. Do not strongly wipe the surface with a cloth to avoid static electricity from building up, as this may cause an oscillation of the needle.
Other
Below is a list of actions that you should never perform.
•Do not use the M-5000R as a broadcast system or musical instrument amplifier.
•Never use a generator, DC/AC converter, AC/AC converter, or transformer to supply power for the M-5000R.
•Never perform a “thumb test” (checking whether current is reaching the lead wire on the hot end of the input by touching it with your fingers) on the ends of the input jacks or input cables.
Doing so may damage the speakers.
•Do not short across the output terminals or across the output terminals and rear panel.
•Never remove the cover of the M-5000R.
•Do not install the M-5000R in a location within the reach of small children.

Technology
A WRAT (Advanced Wide Range Amplifier Technology)
The M-5000R employs a host of proprietary Onkyo technologies to ensure optimal audio performance.
1.DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry)
Since the advent of digital audio, the values of S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio have risen significantly. However, it is also recognized that in terms of perceived S/N, analog audio sources are not inferior to digital sources.
Generally, S/N measures the ratio when sound is and not produced, but takes no account of the noise generated during sound reproduction.
For a long time, Onkyo has focused and made extensive research on the S/N when sound is produced (dynamic S/N). Using a mechanism that captures the noise beyond audible range, it has been possible to determine that both dynamic S/N and perceived S/N aggravate during music reproduction.
Although frequencies above 20 kHz are beyond human hearing, it is well known that a beat can be perceived if different signals are overlapped at such frequencies.
During the analog audio era, no significant signals were entering beyond the audible range. However, the digital era has made recording beyond the audible range possible and the generated beat is now perceivable.
With Onkyo's DIDRC technology, a new approach is introduced which prevents such beat from penetrating the audible range.
En
2. Low Negative-Feedback Design
Conventional amplifiers make extensive use of negative feedback (NFB), whereby part of the output signal is re-input in order to improve the S/N ratio across a wide frequency range. However, too much NFB makes a system susceptible to counter-electromotive force from the speakers, resulting in a drop in perceived sound quality. To avoid this, Onkyo focuses on improving the frequency response and reducing distortion, without relying so much on NFB. We use a low negative-feedback design incorporating audiophile-grade, close-tolerance components, to achieve a frequency response, out to 100 kHz.
3. Closed Ground-Loop Circuits
If an amplifier’s ground potential (voltage) fluctuates during playback, noise is likely to result. In an open-loop circuit design, where all circuits (ire connected to the power supply via a single loop (as on many amplifiers), the noise is compounded. To avoid this, the M-5000R employs a sophisticated closed-circuit design in which each circuit has a separate link to the power supply. This helps to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of distortion.
4.HICC (High Instantaneous-Current Capability)
When an amplifier outputs an audio signal, the connected speakers accumulate energy, reflex, and send energy back to the amplifier. The amplifier must then immediately cancel the speakers’ reflex energy and instantaneously send out the next signal. The same high current required to achieve this is also necessary to
handle speaker impedance, fluctuations, which can force an amplifier to provide four to six times its usual current load. The M-5000R’s instantaneous current capability ensures that audio output is not affected by power limitations.
Quad Push-Pull Amplification Design with Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry
Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry brings greater efficiency to the M-5000R power amp by employing a low-NFB design to maintain voltage stability and enhance transient response. Extremely sensitive to oscillations, this circuitry requires very advanced control technology in order to be incorporated into the amplifier. Breaking further new ground, the M-5000R employs two extra transistors for each channel in a “quad push-pull” design that significantly enhances amplification power.
Symmetrical Twin-Monaural Construction
Power devices for the left and right channels of the M-5000R are aligned symmetrically. Each channel has the same electrical and structural design, and signal pathways are uniform in length. This helps to minimize errors in stereophonic playback.
Side-mounted Circuit Board Construction
Rather than being directly connected to the chassis base, the circuit boards inside the M-5000R are cushioned by internal struts and affixed to the front, side, and rear panels. This method of construction prevents vibrations from the chassis from adversely affecting the circuit boards.
