corresponding speaker terminal.
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
Speaker Connection Precautions
• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external
amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the
amplifier.
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.
LINE INPUT
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
LINE INPUT
• 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.

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by
the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,
rock, etc.).

AM/FM radio stations as presets.
Tune into the AM/FM station that you want to
store as a preset.

This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-A2X RI Dock on or off. Your iPod/iPhone may not respond the first time you
press this button, in which case you should press it again.
This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod/iPhone is already on, it
will remain on when the remote controller transmits an On command.
Similarly, if your iPod/iPhone is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
■ When the power is restored after a power
interruption, “CHECK SP WIRE” appears on the

The protection circuitry has been activated.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet
immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and
input sources, and then leave the AV receiver with
its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that,
reconnect the power cord and set the volume to
maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set then the
volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and
reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV
receiver turns off when you set the volume to
maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact
your Onkyo dealer.

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, Blu-ray Disc/DVD 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, and 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.)
*2
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components can
display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.
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.
DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead 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.

Note
• 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.
• 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.
