FCC Information for User
CAUTION:
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
The user changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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 deter-
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-
tering.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION 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).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
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.
•
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-
nician for help.
For Canadian Models
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select
Standby mode 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.
NOTE: THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS
COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES-003.
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,
FULLY INSERT.
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.

Speaker Precautions
Precautions—Continued
Placement
For British models
• 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.
• 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.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or
tilted position.
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 mark-
ings 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.
• 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.
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.
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-360F/SKF-
318F and SKC-360C/SKC-318C feature internal mag-
netic shielding. In some situations, however, discolora-
tion 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 dis-
coloration problems persist, try moving the speakers
away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration
can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool
that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

technical standards such as EN60065,
EN55013, EN55020 and EN61000-3-2, -3-3.
Input Signal Warning
GROEBENZELL, GERMANY
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-
lowing 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.
K. MIYAGI
ONKYO EUROPE ELECTRONICS GmbH
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.
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 amplifier
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Before Using the AV receiver
Notes:
Setting the Voltage Selector
(on some models)
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
Some models have a voltage selector switch for compat-
ibility 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 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.”
• 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 possi-
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the AV receiver’s
remote control sensor, as shown below.
Remote control sensor

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 sun-
light 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 control-
ler may not work reliably.
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6)
in accordance with the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment.
2
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, 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 obsta-
cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control
sensor.
Slide the cover shut.

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 facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the 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

Speaker Connection Precautions
Connecting Speaker
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev-
els for a long period of time, the built-in protection
circuit may be activated.
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)
speaker terminals are all black.)

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
Purple
Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-
lation from the ends of the
speaker cables. (Supplied
speaker cables are already
stripped.)
3/8" (10 mm)

• 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.
While pressing the lever, insert
the wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the
insulation.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker termi-
nal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

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.
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
1
AM antenna push terminals
FM antenna jack
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
2
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
(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.
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
1
■ American Model
Push
Insert wire
Release
Insert the plug fully into the jack.
Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
■ Other Models
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
cords.
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.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).
Fully extend the antenna and point it in
2
various directions to find the best recep-
tacks or something similar.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 25).

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoorAM 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.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, 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 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 possi-
ble 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 haz-
ards.
■ 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 cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.

AV Connection Color Coding
About AV Connections
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 out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• 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

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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Audio Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver
using one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, or component video, the latter offering
the best picture quality.
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.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the
COMPONENT VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be
output by the COMPONENT OUT, but not by any com-
posite video outputs.
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver
using the following audio connection formats: analog,
optical, coaxial, and multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog
TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital
input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

■ What is RDS?
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 avail-
able 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.).
Sport
SPORT
Live sports action, sports
news, and interviews.
Education EDUCATE Formal educational programs.
Drama
Culture
DRAMA
Radio plays and serials.
CULTURE Cultural programs (including
religious affairs).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa-

Recording
This chapter explains how to record the selected input
source to an AV component with recording capability,
and how to record audio and video from two different
sources.
Recording from Different AV Sources
With this function, you can record audio and video from
different sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto
your video recordings. This function takes advantage of
the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e.,
TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input
source remains unchanged. For example, if you first
select the VIDEO 3 input source, followed by the CD
input source, you can watch the video from theVIDEO 3
input and listen to the audio from the CD input.
Recording the Input Source
You can record only to AV components that are con-
nected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
See pages 26–36 for information on connecting yourAV
components to the AV receiver.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder
connected to the VIDEO 3 IN jack are recorded by the
VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
Use the input selector buttons to
select the AV component that
you want to record.
Audio signals from the selected input
source are output by theVIDEO 1 OUT
and TAPE OUT jacks.

About the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the AV receiver can transform your home listen-
ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.
Neo:6
This mode provides 5.1-channel playback from 2-chan-
nel sources. It offers five full-bandwidth channels with
excellent separation. There are two modes of operation:
Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening
to music.
This illustration shows which speakers are active in
each listening mode.
Front left
Center
Front right
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement
that you get with 5.1-channel surround sound sources.
Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that
feature stereo sound.
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a
natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven-
tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as
music CDs.
Subwoofer
Surround
left
Surround
right
Direct
The selected input source is output directly with minimal
processing for a pure sound.
Stereo
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other
mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the
sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output
by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono
material.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.
It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround
channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo
image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation
of a large hall.
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
Use this mode with DVDs and vid-
eos that bear the Dolby Surround
logo or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can
also use this mode with stereo movies or TV shows and
the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the
2-channel stereo.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.
Dolby Pro Logic II Music

This digital surround format offers a sur-
round sound experience with exceptional
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio
data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the
ability to handle large amounts of audio data while
remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very
high-quality sound.You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.
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 effect of the Late Night function depends on the
Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with
some material there will be little or no effect.
■ Center Width
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV
receiver is set to Standby.
This setting has an effect when you use a center speaker.
With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music listening mode normally. If you’re using a center
speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the
center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the
center channel sound will be distributed to the front left
and right speakers to create a phantom center). This set-
ting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allow-
ing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).
Using the CinemaFILTER
With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright
movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro-
duction in a movie theater.
CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening
modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby PLII Movie, DTS, and
DTS Neo:6 Cinema.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For
example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the
Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15

for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback
DTS material properly even though your player is con-
nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is
usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed
(e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency
response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog-
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you
may hear noise.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly

Troubleshooting—Continued
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal
processing and control functions. In very rare situa-
tions, 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 five 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
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-
rectly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
