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  
a
b
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  
c
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.  
d
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.

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.

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  
(30).  
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  
Surround right  
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 (North American models)  
• 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.

Refer to “About HDMI” (49) and “Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder” (50).  
Tip  
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:  
• Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (33) for an p-compatible TV.  
• Set the “Audio TV OUT” setting to “On” (32) when the TV is not compatible with p or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.  
• Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.  
• To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting External Components” (15).  
Note  
• 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). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to  
another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.  
• When the “Audio TV OUT” setting is set to “On” (32) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume,  
the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the TV Control” setting is set to On(33) to hear from  
speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound while the  
TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn  
down the AV receiver’s volume.  
Audio return channel (ARC) function

Connecting Onkyo u Components  
Note  
Step 1:  
Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected  
with an analog audio cable (connection C in the hookup  
examples) (15).  
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied  
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).  
• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either  
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting addi-  
tional u-capable components.  
Step 2:  
Make the u connection (see illustration below).  
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other  
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.  
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to  
the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

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.

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

Crossover (Crossover Frequency)  
This setting is advantageous for the speakers that you  
specified as “Small” in the “Sp Config (Speaker Con-  
figuration)” (30). To get the best bass performance  
from your speaker system, you need to set the crossover  
frequency according to the size and frequency response  
of your speakers.  
`40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz,  
200Hz:  
Use the diameter of the smallest speaker in your system  
when choosing the crossover frequency.  
Note  
• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector in “HDMI  
Input” (29), this input assignment is automatically set to the  
same HDMI IN. And in addition to the usual inputs (e.g., COAX,  
etc.), you can also select HDMI inputs.  
• Available sampling rate for PCM signals from a digital input  
(optical and coaxial) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz/16, 20, 24 bit.  
• If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your-  
self, contact your Onkyo dealer.  
The STANDBY indicator flashes red  
The protection circuitry has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately. 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 max-  
imum. If the AV receiver stays on, set then the vol-  
ume 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 maxi-  
mum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your  
Onkyo dealer.  
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the  
AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.  
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it  
on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/  
STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and  
the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.  
Audio  
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet  
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your  
radio presets and custom settings.  
Press SPEAKERS A or B to turn on the indicator  
for the speakers that you want to output sound.  
Make sure that the digital input source is selected  
properly.  
29  
Remote indicator  
Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed 13  
in all the way.  
Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- 14-16  
nents are connected properly.  
Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is 11  
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with  
the metal part of each speaker terminal.  
RECEIVER  
AUDIO  
Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 19  
Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. 11  
Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for  
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,  
allowing precise adjustment.  
To reset the remote controller to its factory defaults,  
while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down  
AUDIO until the remote indicator lights (about 3 sec-  
onds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER  
again.  
If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, 20  
press the remote controller’s MUTING to unmute  
the AV receiver.  
While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers.  
20  
If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to  
an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output set-  
tings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.  
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that  
is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is con-  
nected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPO-  
NENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display  
when changing settings.  
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.  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
25  
Power  
If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must  
connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.  
Can’t turn on the AV receiver  
Make sure that none of the connecting cables are  
bent, twisted, or damaged.  
Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged  
into the wall outlet.  
Not all listening modes use all speakers.  
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five  
seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individ- 30  
ual speaker levels.  
The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it 36  
to Auto.

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.  
30  
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.  
34  
About DTS signals  
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.  
30  
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.  
Depending on the source and current listening mode,  
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.  
30  
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.  
30  
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.  
30  
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.  
Video  
With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio output format from a menu.  
There’s no picture  
Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 13  
in all the way.  
Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 2527  
cannot be selected.

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).  
*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)  
• 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  
*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.  
*1  
*2  
*3  
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.  
*3  
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.

p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo  
components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over  
HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-  
tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
