Speaker Precautions
Package Contents
Make sure you have the following accessories:
Placement
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
AV receiver HT-R570
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units
may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-
age, will affect the sound quality.
HT-R570
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or
tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,
CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s
output level.
Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6)
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed
nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-570 and SKC-570
feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,
however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case
you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30
minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally
activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the
magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration
effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that
discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or
Speaker setup microphone
Indoor FM antenna
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.
Do not place SKR-570 and SKB-570 close to TV or a
computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.
AM loop antenna

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product
name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the
same regardless of color.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the
following signals are fed to them, even if the input power
is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,
electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your ampli-
fier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Connecting the AV receiver
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 Dolby Digital or DTS.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
Surround left and right speakers
(SKR-570)
These speakers are used for precise
sound positioning and to add realistic
ambience.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-570)
These output the main 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.
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.
Center speaker (SKC-570)
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.
Subwoofer (SKW-570)
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 front wall, as shown.
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-570)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital
EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, 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.
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.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Speaker Configuration
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.
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should
use based on the number of speakers you have.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. 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.

Caution:
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends
on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow
walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are
no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.
Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or less
and a shank diameter of 5/32" (4 mm) or less. With
hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any
power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

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.
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.
• 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.

Connecting Components with HDMI
About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD/BD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until
now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable
can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, or multichannel PCM).
*1
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will
display a picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
Pass-Thru
About Copyright Protection
*2
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT
to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.

Making HDMI Connections
If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable.
Step 1: Connect your HDMI-compatible TV to the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack.
Step 2: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to the AV receiver’s HDMI IN 1, 2, or 3 jack.
Step 3: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to an analog and/or digital audio input on the AV
receiver.
■ Audio Signals
• Audio and video signals received via inputs other than the HDMI IN jacks are not output by the HDMI OUT.
• Audio and video signals received via the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT.
• To watch an HDMI source that’s connected via the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks, the AV receiver must be turned
on, otherwise no HDMI signal will be output.
• If you want to listen through the speakers connected to the AV receiver, in addition to an HDMI connection,
you’ll also need to make a separate analog or digital audio connection.

Notes:
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In
addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• 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).
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the
picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected
component’s instruction manual for details.

First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
Measurement Positions
Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction
and Speaker Setup
To create a listening environment in which several
people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously,
Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions
within the listening area.
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the

Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
The right side of the listening area.
c Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points a and b and points a
and c must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that
best matches yours and place the microphone
accordingly when prompted.
If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “On”,

Audyssey Dynamic Volume becomes available.
About Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by
taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency
response and surround levels moment-by-moment at
any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass
response, tonal balance, and surround impression that
remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic
EQ combines information from incoming source
levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a
prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction
solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem
with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound
for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of
large variations in volume level between television
programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud
passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the
preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors
how the volume of program material is being
perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an
adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic
Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual
adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume
level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey
Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so
that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically,
the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround
impression, and dialog clarity remain the same
whether watching movies, flipping between television
channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound
content.

First Time Setup—Continued
Notes:
Using Audyssey 2EQ™
• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and
Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the
speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes
to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto
setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have
changed.
• When starting the room correction and speaker setup,
do not stand between the speakers and microphone,
and avoid obstacles blocking the path between
speakers and microphone. This will produce
inaccurate results.
• Position the microphone at ear height of a seated
listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the
ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in
your hand during measurements as this will produce
innacurate results.
Notes:
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted
automatically when the Audyssey 2EQ Room
Correction and Speaker Setup starts.
• Room correction and speaker setup cannot be
performed while a pair of headphones is
connected.
• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the room
correction and speaker setup for three positions.
Total measurement time varies depending on the
number of speakers.
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during
room correction and speaker setup.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise
can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows,
silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air
conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances,
light dimmers, or other devices.
ON/STANDBY
• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from
all audio electronics during the measurement process
as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause
measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not
in use).

If you wish to make changes to the settings found during
the room correction and speaker setup, follow the
directions on pages 70–72.
Using a Powered Subwoofer
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very
low-frequency sound and its position is usually low
down, it may not be detected by the Audyssey 2EQ
Room Correction and Speaker Setup. In this case,
increase the subwoofer’s volume, select its highest
crossover frequency, and then try running the
Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup
again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the
sound distorts, it may not be detected, so use an
appropriate volume level.
Note:
When the room correction and speaker setup is
complete, “6. Equalizer” (page 72) will be set to
“Audyssey.”
Error Messages
While the room correction and speaker setup is in
progress, one of the following error messages may

Recording from Different AV Sources
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two
separate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TV/TAPE or CD, is selected, the video source
remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player
connected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder
connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded
by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
Notes:
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot
be recorded.
• Copy-protected 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.
Recording the Input Source
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g.,
cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE
OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video
recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR
OUT jacks. See pages 24 to 37 for hookup information.

directly with minimal processing, providing high-
fidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels
are output as they are.
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.
DTS
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that
bear the DTS logo.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and
subwoofer.
DTS 96/24
Mono
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is
high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and
24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke

Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of
a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the
impression of being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows
produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire
sound, and clarity to voices.
Game-RPG
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.
Game-Action
Use this mode when playing action game discs.
Game-Rock
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.
Game-Sports
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire
listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,
and surround back speakers.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of
where you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound
even with only two or three speakers. This works by
controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Dolby EX
Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX listening mode.
Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible
with this format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.) (default).
This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD
only.
Audyssey Settings
After room correction and speaker setup is completed, Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ becomes “On” by default.
Dynamic EQ
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on (default).
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and
surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume
level--not just at reference level.
Notes:
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ allows you to maintain the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level in
accordance with the speakers.
• In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey 2EQ™ is automatically deactivated during a recording.
After the recording is finished, Audyssey 2EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ will resume as previously set.
• “Dynamic EQ” and “Dyn Vol” become available (see page 74).
Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active (see page 39).
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active (see page 39).
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most,
causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.
Notes:
• Other than “Off”, “Dynamic EQ” becomes “On”, and “6. Equalizer” (see page 72) setting becomes
“Audyssey”.
• “Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if
“Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting

Late Night Function
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear
quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want
to disturb anyone.
Notes:
• The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital.
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original
sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.
Late Night
Off: Late Night function off (default).
Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.
High: Large reduction in dynamic range.

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs
with the same name (e.g., TV/TAPE IN to TV/TAPE
OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

Troubleshooting—Continued
The following settings can be made for the
composite video inputs
You must use the buttons on the unit to make these
settings.
1. While holding down the input selector button for the
input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]
button.
2. Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change
the setting.
3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.
• Video Attenuation
This setting can be made for the DVD/BD,
VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.
If you have a games console connected to the
composite video input, and the picture isn’t very
clear, you can attenuate the gain.
Video ATT:0: (default).
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal
processing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or static
electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that
this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,
wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by
this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important
data, make sure that the material will be recorded
correctly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall
outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
