Speaker Configuration

Speaker Connection Precautions

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

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 automatically (➔ page 28) or manually (➔ page 41).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The speaker terminals (and preout jacks) are color-coded for identification purpose.

Speaker Color

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• 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.

• 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.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

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 table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Note

• With the Home Theater System, speaker cable labels are not supplied.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

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.

Tip

• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

• “About HDMI” (➔ page 71)

• “Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder” (➔ page 72).

■ Audio return channel (ARC) function

Audio return channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.

• To use the ARC function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must be ARC capable and “HDMI Ctrl

(RIHD)” must be set to “On” (➔ page 48).

Tip

• To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers: – Set the “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting to “On” (➔ page 48) for an p-compatible TV. – Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ page 48) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)”

setting to “Off”. – Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM. – To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (➔ page 16).

Note

• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver).

■ How to record a video source

See “Recording” to make a connection for video recording (➔ page 37).

Connecting Onkyo u Components

Make sure that each Onkyo component is

connected with an analog audio cable (connection

G in the hookup examples) (➔ page 16).

Make the u connection (see the illustration).

If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,

change the Input Display (➔ page 37).

With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■ System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via u, while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV

receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

■ Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

■ Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Onkyo components,

pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (➔ page 56).

e.g., CD player

e.g., DVD player

Note

•Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting

additional u-capable components.

• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your Onkyo components.

• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct Change u functions do not work.

Note

• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a composite video output.

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

• (European, Australian and Asian models) While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

Connecting the Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use

the tuner.

Caution

• Be careful not to injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

Push. Insert wire. Release.

Assembling the AM loop antenna

North American and Taiwan models

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

European, Australian and Asian models

Thumbtacks, etc.

Indoor FM antenna (supplied)AM loop antenna (supplied)

Note

• Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

Tip

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

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

Connecting the Power Cord

(Taiwan models)

Connect the supplied power cord to the AV receiver’s AC INLET.

To AC wall outlet

Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.

Note

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

• Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV receiver. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the AV receiver and should not be used with any other equipment.

• Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the AV receiver.
