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, 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 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.
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] 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.Preventing Hearing Loss Caution
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
6.Batteries and Heat Exposure Warning
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or the like.
7.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.

Notes:
•The remote controller may not work reliably if the 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 receiver is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
•Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
•The remote controller may not work reliably if the 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 receiver’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Your Speakers
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
Speaker Connection Precautions
The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers. When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to output sound simultaneously.
•When you connect one set of speakers to either SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker terminal posts and output sound only from either speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is between 4 and 16 ohms. For the North American model, when the speaker impedance is 4 or 6 ohms, set the speaker impedance setting on the receiver to 6 ohms (see page 15 for details).
•When you connect speakers to both SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B terminal posts and output sound from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers whose impedance is between 8 and 16 ohms.
Note:
If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the impedance values, the built-in protection circuit may be activated resulting in no sound output from speakers.
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.

(5/8") |
|
|
|
|
|
the ends of the speaker |
|
|
cables, and twist the bare |
|
|
wires tightly, as shown. |
|
2 |
Unscrew the terminal. |
|
3 |
Fully insert the bare |
|
|
wires. |
|
4 |
Screw the terminal tight. |
|
•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.
•Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the receiver.
•Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of speaker terminals.

Connecting a Power Amplifier
If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier and use the receiver as a preamp, connect it to the PRE OUT jacks, and connect all speakers and the subwoofer to the power amplifier. If you have a powered subwoofer, connect it to this receiver’s PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.
