Occasionally you should dust the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E 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 TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E 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 TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz). The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.

For USA, Canadian, and Australian models

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E. If you do not intend to use the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

For British Models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualiﬁed service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IMPORTANT

The plug is ﬁtted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET. If in any doubt, consult a qualiﬁed electrician.

For U.S. Models

Power Cord

Connecting the Supplied Power Cord

Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E. The power cord supplied is designed for use with the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E and should not be used with any other device.

• Never have the power cord disconnected from the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall outlet ﬁrst.

Speaker Labels

Terminal Wrench

A wrench to screw/unscrew the speaker terminal cap.

Power Plug adapter

Only supplied in certain countries. Use this adapter if your AC outlet does not match the plug on the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s power cord (adapter varies from country to country).

Power Cord (supplied)

AC INLET

DO NOT connect the power cord at this time.

Before Using the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E

Installing the Batteries

To open the battery compartment, press

the small hollow and slide off the cover.

Insert the three supplied batteries (AA/R6)

in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

Put the cover onto the remote controller

and slide it shut.

Notes:

• The supplied batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

• 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 possible leakage and corrosion.

• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s remote control sensor, as shown below. The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s [STANDBY] indicator ﬂashes while a signal is being received from the remote controller.

Remote control sensor

STANDBY indicator

30˚

Notes:

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E 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 TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

Speaker Placement

Basic Speaker Placements for Home Theater and the Function of Respective Speakers

The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement. This enables you to enjoy, at home, the rich sound effects of a live theater or concert hall performance.

When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS or Dolby Digital, depending on the recording format. In addition, you can enjoy THX sound and Onkyo’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.

Front left and right speakers

Outputs overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound images and ﬁelds.

Center speaker

Complements the sound effects from front left and right speakers to enrich and clear the sound image and movement. In movies, an actor’s speech comes mainly from the center speaker.

Surround back speakers

Enhances the sound space representation with surround channel signals. Recreating sound movement effects and sound ﬁelds behind the listener gives a more realistic experience.

Subwoofer

Outputs only bass sounds to enhance and complement bass sound effects.

Surround left and right speakers

Enhances the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional sound movement to the sound effects.

• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the sound to reach the listener is same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance the volume level between speakers (See pages 88 to 90).

Speaker Placement—Continued

Right

Placing the Speakers

To fully enjoy surround sound, the conﬁguration and placement of the speakers used are important. Be sure to read through the descriptions in the previous page and shown below.

This section provides examples and descriptions that assume a typical situation.

Front Left and Right Speakers, and Center Speaker

• Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically and so that the distance from the listening position is the same.

Front

Left

Surround Back

TV or screen

Center

Front

Right

• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the position of the listener’s ears where the listener sits to enjoy music or movies.

• Place the three speakers so that the heights of the three speakers are aligned. The ideal height for the speakers is the height of the listener’s ears. When placing the center speaker above or below the TV, tilt it toward the listener’s ears.

• Place the center speaker as close to the screen or monitor as possible and in the center between the left and right front speakers. When placing the center speaker near the TV, use a shielded speaker.

• If no center speaker is used, place the left and right front speakers closer to each other.

Left and Right Surround Speakers

• Place these speakers on each side of, or angled behind, the listener.

• Place the surround speakers symmetrically from the listener position and so that the distance from the listener is equal between left and right surround speakers.

• When enjoying mainly movies, placing the surround speakers about 3 feet (1 m) higher than the height of the listener’s ears, results in more of a surround effect.

• When enjoying mainly music, placing the surround speakers at the height of the front speakers may provide a better surround effect.

• When using surround back speakers in addition to the surround speakers, placing the surround speakers slightly forward from their current position will make the sound movement smoother.

Surround Back Speakers

• Place the speakers about 3 feet (1 m) or higher than the height of the listener’s ears.

• When using one surround back speaker, place it behind the listener.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from each surround back speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the listener are about 30 degrees, forming an equilateral triangle of the listener and the two surround back speakers.

*When using a THX-certiﬁed speaker system, also refer to

“Speaker Placement Suitable for THX Audio” on the next page.

Speaker Placement—Continued

As close as possible

Subwoofer

Using a subwoofer greatly improves the volume level and sound quality of bass sounds. The subwoofer effect depends not only on the listening position but also on the shape of the listening room.

• In general, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the width of the room.

• Play a movie or music that contains high quality bass sounds to determine the subwoofer placement. Change the subwoofer’s position and check the effect, then select the position where the bass sounds are best heard.

• You can place two subwoofers for more powerful and richer heavy bass sounds.

Speaker Placement Suitable for THX Audio

To enjoy sources using THX Cinema or THX Surround EX technology, we recommend using a THX speaker system from THX Ltd. A speaker system supporting the THX Ultra2 standard is best suited for THX Ultra2 Cinema or THX Music Mode.

The layout example on the right represents a case using the dipole speakers. A dipole speaker is a two-way directivity speaker that outputs the same sound in two directions such as forward and backward.

Most dipole speakers are marked with an arrow indicating how they should be oriented in the room in order to match their phases*. Dipole surround speakers should be placed so that their arrows point forward toward the screen, and dipole surround back speakers should be placed so that their arrows point toward each other.

*Phase: The word represents the waveform position in one cycle (0 to 360 degrees) of a sine wave. If

the phase does not match between multiple waveforms due to the distance between multiple speakers, the speaker orientation, or the miswiring of positive and negative poles, the sound image or space may be obscured or the sound may be less easy to listen to.

When playing the source in the THX Ultra2 Cinema or THX Music Mode format using two surround back speakers supporting the THX Ultra2 standard, place them as close together as possible. After placing the surround back speakers, perform the settings described in the “THX Audio Setup” (page 91).

Speaker Placement Suitable for a Music Source such as DVD-Audio

This placement is based on the ITU-R* recommendation. In this placement, ﬁve speakers with the same performance capabilities are used for front left and right, center, and left and right surround speakers, and they are placed so that the distances between every speaker and the listening position are equal to each other and the heights of the speaker and the listener’s ears are the same.

Available Speaker Placements According to the Number of Speakers

The following speaker placements will be available according to the number of speakers connected to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E. For the number of speaker channel, _.1 ch represents a subwoofer.

Key to abbreviations: FL: Front left speaker, FR: Front right speaker, C: Center

speaker, SL: Surround left speaker, SR: Surround right speaker, SBL: Surround back left speaker, SBR: Surround back right speaker, SW: Subwoofer

2 ch/2.1 ch

This placement is used with

two speakers (front left and right speakers). It is optimum for 2 ch sources including analog 2 ch, 2 ch linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS96/24, and AAC format sources. When the number of channels in the source is 3.1 or greater, the signals will be distributed through the left and right channels accordingly.

This placement is used with three speakers (front left, front right, and center speakers). When the number of channels in the source is

4.1 or greater, the signal for surround and surround back channels will be output through the front left and right speakers.

In this placement, when the number of channels in the source is 5.1 or greater, the center channel signal will be output through the front left and right speakers, and the surround back channels will be output through the surround speakers.

3 ch/3.1 ch

4 ch/4.1 ch

5 ch/5.1 ch

This placement is suitable for

playing 5.1 ch sources

FL C

including analog multichannel, Dolby Digital, DTS, and AAC format sources. When the source is 2 ch or mono, the

signal will be decoded with Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS NEO:6 format and played as

5.1 ch sources. When the number of channels in the source is 6.1 or greater, the surround back signal will be distributed through the surround left and right speakers accordingly.

6 ch/6.1 ch/7 ch/7.1 ch (with center speaker)

This placement is suitable for

playing 6.1 ch sources

FL C

including DTS-ES Matrix/ Discrete and Dolby Surround EX format signals.

When you use two surround back speakers, the same signal will be output from them

FL C

because the surround back channel is mono. When the

source is 2 ch or mono, it will

be decoded with the Dolby Pro Logic IIx/DTS NEO:6 format and played as 6.1/7.1 ch sources.

SBL SBR

6 ch/6.1 ch/5 ch/5.1 ch (without center speaker)

This placement is suitable for

playing 5.1 or 6.1 ch sources

when the surround back sound is much more preferred than the center

sound with less speaker units than the normal conﬁguration. The center

SBL SBR

channel signal will be output through the front left and

right speakers.

Speaker Placement—Continued

Connection Examples

The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has two speaker terminal blocks for speaker systems [A] and [B]. This allows you to build two 7.1 ch home theater systems, and various speaker placements and connections are also available. For example, some channels of either speaker system can be used for another room (Zone 2), or you can select one of two speaker systems for playback according to the source. When you use two speaker systems, you have to associate the speakers with the zone (e.g., Main A, Main B, etc.). After making the association, for example, pressing the “MAIN A” button on the remote controller will output the source from the speakers conﬁgured as “Main A.” Here are some examples of speaker placement and zone association. These examples can be your reference when you build your own home theater system. The illustration on the right represents the actual settings displayed corresponding to each example. For details on conﬁguring speaker placement and zone association, see page 88.

*In the following illustrations, white speakers denote speaker system [A] and gray ones denote speaker system [B]. *Key to abbreviations:

FL: Front left speaker; FR: Front right speaker; C: Center speaker; SL: Surround left speaker; SR: Surround right speaker; SBL: Surround back left speaker; SBR: Surround back right speaker; SW: Subwoofer

When you wish to conﬁgure 7.1 ch speaker system in the main room A only, the initial setting can be used without any modiﬁcation.

Connecting Speakers

Connecting to the Speaker Terminals

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use banana plugs/connectors.

Caution: 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 Speaker Impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 89). 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.

Notes:

• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left channel terminals.

• To prevent circuitry damage, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

Connecting the Speaker Cable

1. Strip away approx. 5/8 inch (15 mm) of the wire

insulation.

2. Twist the wire ends tightly together.

3. Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.

4. Insert the exposed wire end.

5. Tighten speaker terminal cap.

Using the BTL Connection

To get more powerful sound output, you can make the BTL (Bridged Transless) connection using the front and surround back speaker terminals on the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E. In this connection, two speaker outputs of the stereo ampliﬁer will be used as mono output by combining the individual stereo channel outputs, allowing you to get about twice the output.

Note:

When using the BTL connection, make sure that the speaker impedance is 8 ohm or higher. For the settings on the BTL connection, see pages 88,

89.

In the BTL connection, the (–) L/R speaker terminals on the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E will not be used.

Once your TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E 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.

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 using a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Once your TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E 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 TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using a commercially available outdoor AM antenna.

Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but acceptable 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 antennas should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well away from power lines and other high voltage equipment.

• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electric 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.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting it horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected. Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

Connecting AV Components

Types of Connection Cables and Terminals

In addition to the conventional terminals, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has various terminals that are capable of nextgeneration digital transmission.

Before connecting AV components to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, make sure that your cable type matches the terminal shape and the signal type and that the cable length is appropriate for the placement of your connected components.

Audio cables

Cable names Cable forms Terminals shapes Description

Optical cable

The connection using these cable types transmits digital audio signals. There is no sound quality difference among these cable types.

Note:

Some optical cables have their own covers. Before making a connection, remove the covers. When plugging in a cable, be sure to match the connector shape with the terminal shape.

Coaxial cable

Each optical terminal on the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E has its own shutter-type cover. For the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, plug in the optical cables so that the optical cable connector pushes the terminal cover down.

Audio connection cable

This connection transmits an analog audio signal. Plug the red connector (R) into the right channel terminal and the white connector (L) into the left channel connector.

The terminals for this cable type are for DVD players that are compatible with the DVD-Audio format. This connection transmits multichannel analog audio signals.

This connection can be used for connecting i.LINK (AUDIO)-enabled devices and to transmit digital audio signals. Also, multichannel analog audio signals from DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD format sources will be transmitted digitally. The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E handles only audio signals through i.LINK connection.

Ethernet cable (CAT-5 Straight type)

ETHERNET

(

Net-Tune

)

The Ethernet cable is used for connecting multiple PCs or network-ready audio components that constitute a local area network (LAN). A LAN is a smaller network composed within a house or building. The connecting terminals for the Ethernet cables are often called “LAN port” or “broadband port.”

*The audio input signal from the ETHERNET (Net-Tune) or MULTI-CH IN terminal will not be output to the HDMI

OUT terminal. Also, the DVD audio or SACD audio input signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal will not be output to the HDMI OUT terminal.

When you play a source in the remote zone (Zone 2 or Zone 3), the following restrictions are applied.

• When you play the audio signal supplied through the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface, the audio signal will not be output to Zone 2 or Zone 3. With this connection, you cannot record the audio signal from the source.

• The audio input signal from the LAN port will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source.

• When you play the audio signal from the PH or AUDIO IN terminals in Zone 3, the input source will be output only

to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source. Similarly, in this connection, you can record only the audio signal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.
