A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. 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 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
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.
For North American & Australian models
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY 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.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.
6.Handling Notes
•If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
•Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.
•This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.
•If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.
Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
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 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
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must 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 power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse in the plug.

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. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
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 (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.
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.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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 general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.
Tip: 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.
Corner position
1/3 wall position
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. 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.
THX recommends that they be equally spaced from the listener, creating a triangle, and that the angle at the apex of the triangle be about 60 degrees. Make sure that the listening position is within range of the speakers.

*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.
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 by using the supplied setup microphone (see page 40).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions. Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•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, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms (see page 46). 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.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
1 |
Strip about 5/8" (15 |
5/8" (15 mm) |
|
mm) of insulation from |
|
|
the ends of the |
|
|

|
twist the bare wires |
|
|
tightly, as shown. |
|
2 |
Unscrew the terminal. |
|
3 |

Connecting Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
AM antenna push terminals
FM antenna jack |
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
■ American Model
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
■ Other Models
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 23).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.
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.

Insert wire |
Release |
Once your AV receiver 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 AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 23).

Connecting Antenna—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.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
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
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
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.

Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
AV Cables and Jacks
•Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
•To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide. For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.
Composite video to S-Video and S-Video to composite video conversion only applies to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S outputs.
Note: The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite video and S-Video input signals and output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 44).
For optimum video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through without upconversion (i.e., Composite video input to Composite video output; S-Video input to S-Video output; Component video input to Component video output).

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or analog multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line output and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.
