NOTE
•
Do not mix battery types. Do not use a new battery and an old battery at the same time.
•
If you do not plan to use the remote controller for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the compartment to prevent battery liquid from leaking.
•
Leaving dead batteries inside the compartment for an extended period may cause corrosion, which may damage the remote controller. I f
the unit does not respond well to remote control operation, replace the old batteries with new ones immediately.
•
The life of the included manganese batteries is about six months, although it depends on how often you use the remote controller. Onkyo
recommends that you use alkaline AA (LR6 or AM-3)-size batteries for replacement.
Installation
W e can usually identify the source of a sound based on its loudness and the time difference (delay) between the sound reaching
our left ear and right ear. The Virtual Surround system of this unit uses this characteristic of human hearing. This system, along
with the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, creates an effect that makes you think the sound is coming from all around
you, even though the sound is output from only two front speakers. The Virtual Surround system limits the sweet spot (effective listening position) due to its nature. That is, the Virtual Surround system of this unit sets an optimum listening position at
any point on the center axis when you face the unit. Any position not on the axis will have less effect. Also, if the room has
many objects that reflect sound or that cause uneven reflection, the optimum effect may not be obtained.
The effect of the subwoofer varies significantly depending on its location. Generally, placing the subwoofer in the corner of the
room would be the most effective.

Compatible recordings and media
• The Virtual Surround system on the PHC-5 system produces the best effect with recordings (media) that use the “Dolby*
Surround” system. These media include Hi-Fi VHS, laser discs, and DVD video, which carry the mark. The
Virtual Surround system also produces a great effect with normal stereo recordings, although some of them may seem to
have a narrower stereo image or produce unnatural sound. In this case, use Stereo mode.
• Some stereo recordings use special recording techniques or special processing, such as virtual processing. The Virtual Surround
system may sometimes over-enhance or reduce the ef fect too greatly with these recordings. In this case, use Stereo mode.
• The Virtual Surround system produces no effect with monaural recordings.

Programmable Remote Controller
You can use the remote controller RC-382M to remotely control a TV or VCR by programming the functions of the remote
controller for the device into the RC-382M.
Notes on programming the remote controller:
• Use new batteries for the RC-382M and the remote controller for a TV or VCR. Using old batteries may result in a failure in
programming or cause the programmed remote controller buttons to work incorrectly.
• The RC-382M uses infrared rays, like most other remote controllers. The RC-382M may be unable to program other remote
controllers that use different technology.
• The RC-382M has twelve buttons for programming. The number of items you can store in these buttons depends on the
manufacturer of the remote controller and the type of the devices you wish to program into the RC-382M. (Some remote
controllers allow you to program only one or two functions.) Program the desired functions to suit your preference.
• When you are programming the functions of the other device into the remote controller, the device may accidentally
respond to the operation of the remote controller. To avoid this, turn off the power to the device.

NOTE
• In the unlikely event that an infrared
command cannot be learned by RC382M, the SENDING/LEARNED indicator flashes for five seconds, meaning that
the command is not “learnable.”
The RC-382M has been tested for compatibility with a very wide range of infrared remote control frequencies and data
word lengths, but in some very rare
instances, it may be unable to learn a particular remote control command.
• If programming fails or if the data size
exceeds the capacity of the programmable buttons, the SENDING/LEARNED
indicator flashes for five seconds.
• Refer to the instruction manual for the
corresponding device for operational
information on operating the device.
• Store the remote controller for the device
in a safe place after programming is complete. If the programmed signals are
erased due to dead batteries in the RC382M or for other reasons, you will need
the remote controller for the device to reprogram the RC-382M.
