WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands —Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo
dealer.

Speaker Precautions
Placement
• The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity, do not put them 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 DVD
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,
CD player or 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. To prevent this, the SKF-550F and SKC-550C
feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,
however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case
you should 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. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing
tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is
within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in
the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1.
Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2.
Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3.
High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4.
Amplifier oscillation.
5.
Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6.
Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7.
Microphone feedback.

Remote Controller
Notes:
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
When using the remote controller, point it toward the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in
mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,
such as a book or magazine, because a button may be
pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control
sensor.
Installing the Batteries
1
To open the battery compartment, press
the small hollow and slide open the cover.
2
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6)
in accordance with the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment.

Connecting Your Speakers
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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog and digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.
Enjoying Home Theater
Surround back left and right
speakers (SKB-550)
These speakers are necessary to
enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete. 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.
Subwoofer (SKW-550)
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 way along 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.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-550F)
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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as
to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker (SKC-550C)
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers,
making sound movements distinct and providing a full
sound image. For 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.
1/3 wall
length
Surround left and right speakers (SKM-550S)
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 equally spaced from the listener.
* While speaker set B is on,
these speakers output no
sound.
Corner
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor
(wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very
loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the
flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied
pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads
also provide a stable base
for the subwoofer.

Connecting Your Speakers —Continued
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 8 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 to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only 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 AV
receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.
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.
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals and
speaker’s positive (+) terminals are color-coded for ease
of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are
all black.) Match the color of each cable to the corresponding speaker terminal.
Note:
When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced
to 5.1-channel playback.

1
On the AV receiver, unscrew the terminal. Fully
insert the bare wires. Make sure that the bare wire
is touching the inside of the pole. Screw the terminal tight.
2
On the speakers, while pressing
the terminal lever, insert the
wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
3
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the AV
receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to LINE
INPUT on the subwoofer.
Make sure the cable is plugged all the way.
Connecting Speaker Set B (sold
separately)
1
Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist
the bare wires tightly, as
shown.
2
While pressing the lever, insert
the wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the
insulation.

Connecting Your Speakers —Continued
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.
The speakers can easily be mounted
on a wall by using the attached wall
brackets.
To mount a front, surround, or surround back speaker vertically, use
its wall bracket, as shown, to hang
it on a screw that's securely screwed
into the wall.
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use its two wall brackets,
as shown, to hang it on two screws
that are securely screwed into the
wall.
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 5/16" (7 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the
screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)

Connecting Antennas
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.
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 23).
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 23).
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
■
American Model
■
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 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.
