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 230–240 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. 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 as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” If it’s between 220 and 240 volts, set it to “220-240V.”

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

Aiming the Remote Controller

When using the remote controller, point it toward the AV receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.
Remote control sensor
AV receiver
STANDBY indicator
Approx. 16 ft. (5 m)
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV 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 AV receiver is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control­ler may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller, such as a book or magazine, because a button may be pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV 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 AV receiver’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con­nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers that you have.
Number of speakers: 234567
Front left
Front right
Center

*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.
Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 34).
To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also set the advanced speaker settings (see page 55.)

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)
Speaker terminal Color
Front left White
Front right Red
Center Green
Surround left Blue
Surround right Gray
Surround back left Brown
Surround back right Tan
The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:
North American models:
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.
Other models:
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 minimum speaker impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 34). 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 an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out­door FM antenna instead.
FM 75
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
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 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
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.

AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan­nel 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.
Left (white)
Right (red)
(Yellow)
• 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.
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video jacks slightly differently.)
S-Video separates the luminance and color signals

and provides better picture quality than composite video.
Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs,

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, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

Connecting Your Components
—Continued
Hooking Up the Multichannel DVD Input
If your DVD player supports multichannel audio formats such as DVD-Audio or SACD, and it has a multichannel analog audio output, you can connect it to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input.
Use a multichannel analog audio cable, or several normal audio cables, to connect the AV receiver’s DVD IN FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURROUND L/R, SURR BACK L/R, and SUBWOOFER jacks to the 7.1-channel analog audio output on your DVD player. If your DVD player has a 5.1-channel analog audio output, don’t connect anything to the AV receiver’s SURR BACK L/R jacks.
