About Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’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 DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby
Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
Enjoying Home Theater
Front left and right 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 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.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the
front left and right 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
left and right speakers.
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.
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.
Surround left and right 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 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the listener.
Surround back left and right
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 2–3 feet (60–
100 cm) above ear level.
THX recommends that they be
placed as close as possible in order
to make advantage of their proprietary ASA (Advanced Speaker
Array) technology. If this condition is
not possible, adjust the Surr Back
Sp Spacing setting via the THX
Audio Setup. (See page 83.)

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s optical digital jacks
have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug
is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all
the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
AV Cables & Jacks
Note: The AV receiver/AV amplifier does not support SCART plugs.

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table indicates the channels you should
use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to
the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS 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 by using the supplied
speaker setup microphone (see page 54).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left
and right
dipole
speakers should be positioned so that their
arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround
back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so
that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver/AV
amplifier’s PRE OUT SUBWOOFER to an input on
your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is
unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER to an input on the
amp.
Attaching the Speaker Labels
The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification (the
negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).
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 above table.
Then all you need to do is to match the color of each
label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
Using the Speaker Terminal Tool
The supplied speaker terminal tool makes it easy to
tighten and loosen the speaker terminals. If you are using
banana plugs, to ensure optimum sound quality, tighten
the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
(In Europe, using banana plugs to connect speakers to an
audio amplifier is prohibited.)

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• North American models: Only connect speakers
with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. 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 protection circuit may be activated.
• Other models: You can connect speakers with an
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or
more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum
speaker impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 46). 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 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.
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two
surround speakers to the SURR SPEAKERS terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK
SPEAKERS terminals.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV
receiver/AV amplifier.
• Make sure the metal core of the
wire does not have contact with
the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s
rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV
amplifier.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
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 left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.
1
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)
of insulation from the
ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
2
Unscrew the terminal.
3
Fully insert the bare
wires.

speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or biamped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for
a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver/AV amplifier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main
room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT SPEAKERS L/R terminal
posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
And the SURR BACK SPEAKERS L/R terminal
posts connect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you must set the Speakers Type setting to
Bi-Amp to enable biamping (see page 46).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure
to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’
tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 26).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 26).
Connecting Antenna (TX-SR705 only)
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
■ North American models
■ Other models
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.

1
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
2
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM antenna push terminals, as shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around.)
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power
cords.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on
the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier 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 other components. Use the following
sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using any one of the following video connection
formats:
composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor
setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 93).
■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see
page 47), video input signals flow through the
AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use this setting if you connect the AV
receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI OUT to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective input
signals as they are.

■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to No
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to No (see
page 47), video input signals flow through the
AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this
setting if you connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to your TV.
Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and
S-Video is downconverted to composite video.
Note that these conversions only apply to the
MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the
VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective input
signals as they are.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical,
coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in
mind that the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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 TAPE OUT.
