Speaker Precautions

Package Contents

Placement

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.

• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. internal magnetic shielding. the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Do not place SKR-580 and SKB-580 close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

To prevent this, the SKF-580 and SKC-580 feature

In such situations, try moving

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 (SKF-580)

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

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.

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 (SKC-580)

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 (SKR-580)

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 (SKB-580)

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 (Optional)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least

3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to left and right place at an angle slightly wider than the front speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the front speakers.

f Subwoofer (SKW-580)

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 Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

Front speakers ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔ Center speaker ✔ ✔✔✔✔✔✔ Surround speakers ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔ Surround back speaker Surround back speakers Front high speakers

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the same time.

When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

*1*2

*2*3

If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L/R or FRONT HIGH OR ZONE 2 L/R terminals.

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 manually (➔ 35).

✔✔

✔✔✔

• 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.

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.

• 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

Using 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

3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)

the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

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 L terminals.

Caution

• A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.

• Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

• Leave a gap of between 3/16"

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel sources.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

Note

• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

■ Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ Reference Level Offset

` 0dB

It should be used when listening to movies.

` 5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

` 10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.

` 15 dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey EQ™ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any userselected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Note

•If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be selected.

• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

■ Dynamic Volume

Note

• If you make Dynamic Volume™ active, “Audyssey” and “Dynamic EQ” settings are set to “On”. The Dynamic Vol indi- cator will light (➔ 8).

• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

• If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

—

29–32

■ Can’t get 6.1/7.1 playback

If no surround back speakers or front high speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.

You can not always select all of the listening modes, depending on the number of the speakers connected.

—

29–32

■ The volume cannot be set to 79

Check to see if a maximum volume has been set. 22

■ Noise can be heard

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

—

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

■ About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

—

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

—

Video

■ There’s no picture

Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way.

Make sure that each video component is properly connected.

If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to COM- PONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, your TV must be connected to the corresponding composite video output.

If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.

On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc players/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following: Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution

Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc player/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

, so only HDCP-compatible components can

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-

tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

■ About p-compatible components

The following components are p-compatible. (As of February 2010) See the Onkyo web site for latest information.

• Panasonic VIERA Link compatible TV

• Toshiba REGZA-LINK compatible TV

• Sharp TV (See Onkyo web site for latest information on compatible models.)

Players/Recorders

• Onkyo and Integra p-compatible players

• Panasonic VIERA Link compatible players and recorders (only when used together with Panasonic VIERA Link compatible TV)

• Toshiba REGZA-LINK compatible players and recorders (only when used together with Toshiba REGZALINK compatible TV)

• Sharp players and recorders (only when used together with Sharp TV)

Models other than those mentioned above may have some interoperability if compatible with CEC which is part of the HDMI Standard, but operation cannot be guaranteed.

Note

• Do not connect the p-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the linked operations work properly. –Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is up to three. –Blu-ray Disc recorder/DVD recorder/Digital Video Recorder is up to three. –Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.

• Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver/AV amplifier via HDMI.

•When the p-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not guaranteed.

■ Operations that can be performed with p

connection

For p-compatible TV

The following linked operation is possible by connecting the AV receiver to an p-compatible TV.

• The AV receiver will enter Standby mode when the power of the TV is turned to Standby.

• You can set on the menu screen of the TV to either output the audio from the speakers connected to the AV receiver, or from the speakers of the TV.

• It is possible to output the video/audio from the antenna or from the input jack of the TV from the speakers connected to the AV receiver. (A connection such as optical digital cable or similar is required above the HDMI cable.)

• Input to the AV receiver can be selected with the remote controller of the TV.

• Operations such as volume adjustment or similar for the AV receiver can be performed from the remote controller of the TV.

For p-compatible players/recorders

The following link operation is possible by connecting the AV receiver to an p-compatible player/recorder.
