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 which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362. 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

Setting the Voltage Selector
(Worldwide model only)
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. If it isn’t,
use a small screwdriver to set it appropriately. For
example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts (V), set
the selector to “120V.” And if it’s between 220 and 230
volts (V), set it to “220-230V.”

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 both 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.
• Dead batteries should be removed as soon as possible
to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is subjected to bright light,
such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent
lights. Keep this in mind when installing the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used
in the same room, or the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E 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-NR801/TX-NR801E is installed in a rack behind
colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E’s remote control sensor.

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
for 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.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively
sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.
For the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, Onkyo recommends you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX
Surround EX playback.
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording
formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.
How to use speakers
When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback).
When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround
playback).
When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4
channel surround playback).
When you have five speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right
speakers (5 channel surround playback).
When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and
surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback).
When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,
surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback).
No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1
channel playback).
Front left and right speakers
Output overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound
images and fields.
Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to the listener’s ears in the listening position
for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that they are located symmetrically.
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.
Place the center speaker as close as
possible to the TV or monitor, pointing it towards the listener’s ears.
Also, keep the center speaker’s
height at the same level as the front
left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
Outputs only bass sounds to
enhance and complement bass
sound effects. Place the subwoofer either at the front corner
of the room or at a position 1/3
from either front corner of the
room.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of
the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should
be placed symmetrically.
Surround back speakers
Enhance the sound space representation with surround channel
signals. Recreating sound
movement effects and sound
fields behind the listener gives a
more realistic experience.
• 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 constant. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance
the volume level between speakers (See pages 33 and 35).
16
Speaker Placement
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to
place them properly to create the optimum sound space
for your listening pleasure. During placement and
connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and
instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore,
be aware that for surround playback, the configuration
and placement of your speakers are both very important.
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical
examples of speaker placement and recommendations
are shown.
In order to create the optimum conditions for the best
sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the
greatest difference between the distances of each
speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6
meters).
Important Points Regarding Speaker Placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place these three speakers all at the same height.
• Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of
the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
• Place the right and left peakers at equal distances on
either side of the listening point.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1
meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality
greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those
characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening
room as well as your listening point. Generally, good
bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in
the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the
room.
Corner
Surround back speakers
• Place these speakers so that
their height is 3 feet (1 meter)
higher than that of the listener’s

Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how
they should be oriented in the room. For correct
acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
toward each other.

To optimize the subwoofer placement, we
recommend:
• Playing a movie or music source containing good
quality bass sound,
• Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position
in the room, and
• Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most
out of the bass sound while fixing the listening point.
17
Connecting Speakers
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it
is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to
your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E.
For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use
banana plugs/connectors.
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and
16 Ω to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If the impedance of
even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the
speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).
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 damage to circuitry,
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-NR801/TX-NR801E.
• Connect either your surround back speakers or the
speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone
2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS
terminals (See page 66).
Using the Speaker Cable Labels
The positive speaker terminals on the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E are color coded for easy identification.
Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables,
and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the
corresponding terminals.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various
components to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. There are
many ways that any one component can be connected,
and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your
situation. The directions given here are only one option
and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as
well as those of your components and their features to
ascertain which method of connection is best.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
For DVD players or other devices that have component
video connectors, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has two
banks of component video input connectors (Y, P
B, PR)
for direct component video input. The TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E also has one bank of component video
output connectors for direct component video output to
the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other
display device. By sending the pure component video
signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing
that normally would degrade the image. The result is
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike
colors and crisp details.
VIDEO IN/OUT
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear
panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs
and each one includes both composite video and S video
configurations.
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and
other video components to the video inputs. Connect
VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the
video outputs to make video recordings.
• When connecting a VCR or other video component,
make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the
same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).
• The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.
The flow of the video signals is as follows:
Signals that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT.
When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT
VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television
to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO and S VIDEO. Those signals are not
output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. A projector
or monitor TV should be connected to VIDEO and S
VIDEO IN.
For other models whose TV Format is PAL:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT
VIDEO. When you connect a projector or monitor TV
to COMPONENT VIDEO inputs, you do not have to
connect them to VIDEO and S VIDEO inputs.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are
eight audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear
panel. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type
connectors.
DIGITAL IN/OUT
On the rear panel of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, there
are three coaxial digital inputs, three optical digital
inputs, and two optical digital outputs. To the digital
inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players,
or other digital source components. To the digital output,
connect MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or
other similar components.
• Since an analog connection must be made when using
REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection
to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use
an optical fiber cable.
Connecting a Television Monitor or
Projector (MONITOR OUT)
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is equipped with a simple
Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since
both the signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs
are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if
the television or projector is equipped with an S video
input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors.
If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.
Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the
video input jack (composite) of the device to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E. Or if the device has an S video input jack,
connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E using an S video connection
cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, connect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If a model
is for other than USA, Canada or Australia and its TV
Format is PAL, when you use the connections described
above, video signals that come in from S VIDEO and
VIDEO IN are output to the TV, projector, etc.

Connecting -compatible AV Components
The terminal on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is for
connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the
same
terminal. When a component is connected to
the
terminal, it can be operated by the remote
controller supplied with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. In
addition, when you connect a component to the
terminal, you can also perform the system operations
given below.
Power on/ready function
When the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is in the standby
state, if an
-connected component is turned on, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E also turns on and the input
source selected at the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
automatically switches to that component.
Be aware that this function will not work if the power
cord for the
-connected component is connected to
the AC OUTLET on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, or if
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has already been turned on.
Direct change function
When the play button is pressed on an
-connected
component, the input source selected at the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E automatically changes to that component.
