About Home Theater

Speakers A and B

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: Speakers A and Speakers B.

Speakers A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.

While Speakers B is on, Speakers A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

Speakers B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

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. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.

With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

a Front 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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward

so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Speakers A: Main Room

b Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis-

tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-

log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the

same height as the front speakers.

Corner

position

While Speakers B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.

c Surround 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 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be

equidistant from the listener.

1/3 of wall

position

While Speakers B is on, these speakers outputs no sound.

d 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 width of

the wall, as shown.

Speakers B: Sub Room

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 satis-

fying results.

Connections

Connecting the AV Receiver

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may

Connecting Your Speakers

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.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 5.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need five

speakers and a powered subwoofer.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have con-

tact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

Front speakers

✔

Center speaker

Surround speakers

✔

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer 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. You can do this manually

(➔ 29).

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-

coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker

terminals are all black.)

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker ter-

minal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Surround left

Gray

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and

you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each

speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all

you need to do is to match the color of each label to the

corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

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 imped-

ance, 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 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insu-

lation from the ends of the speaker

cables, and twist the bare wires tightly,

as shown.

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

Using Banana Plugs

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Push-type speaker terminals

Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of the

speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record

audio and video from different sources.

Connecting a Recording Component

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely

separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your

video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact

that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected,

the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder

connected to the BD/DVD IN are recorded by the VCR

connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Note

• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is

not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to

the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied with your TV and VCR for details.

• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be

recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is

connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must

be connected to a composite video output.

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be

recorded.

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette

deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g.,

VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT

jack.

Press BD/DVD input selector.

Press TV/CD input selector.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but

leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Start recording on the VCR and start playback on

the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from

the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Use the input selector buttons to select the source

that you want to record.

You can watch the source while recording. The AV

receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect

on recording.

On your recorder, start recording.

About Listening Modes

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidel-

ity and stunning surround sound.

Explanatory Notes

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer chan-

nel (called the point-one channel).

*1 This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional speak-

ers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

The AV receiver outputs this source in 5.1-channel surround sound.

■ Only the front speakers produce sound

■ Noise can be heard

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

—

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce

sound.

—

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

Check the Speaker Configuration.

■ Only the center speaker produces sound

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro

Logic II Music, or Dolby Pro Logic II Game listen-

ing mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio

station or mono TV program, the sound is concen-

trated in the center speaker.

—

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

■ About DTS signals

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-

stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-

ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is

to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for-

ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you

switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the

AV receiver does not switch formats immediately,

you may not hear any sound, in which case you

should stop your player for about three seconds, and

then resume playback.

—

■ The surround speakers produce no sound

When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or

Mono listening mode is selected, the surround

speakers produce no sound.

—

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

—

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your

player is connected 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 recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such

cases, you may hear noise.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The center speaker produces no sound

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

a malfunction.

■ The subwoofer produces no sound

The subwoofer outputs no sound while only Speak- 10

ers B is on. Turn on Speakers A.

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

—

■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

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 compo-

nents. 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, multichan-

nel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

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 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)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD

Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

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.

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.
