If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A.When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
C.If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
D.If the apparatus does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
E.If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F.When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service.
16.Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Precautions
1.Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2.AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3.Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4.Power 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.
Some models have a voltage selector switch for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t, use a small screwdriver to set it as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” If it’s between 220 and 240 volts, set it to “220-240V.”

STANDBY indicator
Approx. 16 ft. (5 m)
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.

Connecting Your Speakers
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. 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.
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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly 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. 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.
Subwoofer |
|
|
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds |
|
|
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) chan- |
|
|
nel. 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 gen- |
|
|
eral, a good bass sound can be obtained |
Corner |
|
by installing the subwoofer in a front cor- |
|
|
ner, or at one-third the way along the wall, |
|
|
as shown. |
|
|
Tip: To find the best position for your sub- |
|
|
woofer, while playing a movie or some |
1/3 wall |
|
music with good bass, experiment by plac- |
||
length |
||
ing your subwoofer at various positions |
||
|
||
within the room, and choose the one that |
|
|
provides the most satisfying results. |
|
Surround back left and right speakers
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.
*While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound.
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 equally spaced from the listener.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer. The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers that you have.

Connecting Your Speakers—Continued
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•North American models: 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.
•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 35). 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.
•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•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.
Attaching the Speaker Labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you need to do then 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.)

Insert the plug fully into the jack.
■ Other Models
FM 75
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
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.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 21).
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.

Connecting Antennas—Continued
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.
FM 75
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 Your Components
About AV Connections
•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’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.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan- nel 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.
