Speaker Precautions Placement · The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, 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 damage, will affect the sound quality. · Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical 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. 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 markings 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. 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-940F and SKC940C 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 demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.

Using the Listening Modes Time to really enjoy your home theater system! page 45 7 Enjoying Home Theater Speaker Sets A and B You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 7.1-channel playback. *While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback. Speaker set B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback. *Only analog input sources are output by speaker set B. Speaker set A AV receiver SPEAKERS A B Speaker set B On Off Indicator Output Set A: 5.1 channels Set B: 2 channels Set A: 7.1 channels Set B: 2 channels No sound Remote controller On or Off A A B B On Off Speaker Set A: Main Room Front left and right speakers (SKF-940F) 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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward. Center speaker (SKC-940C) 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. Corner Surround left and right speakers (SKM-940S) 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 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener. Subwoofer (SKW-940) The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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 wall, as shown. 1/3 wall length Speaker Set B: Sub Room Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-940) These speakers further enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. THX recommends that they be placed as close as possible in order to make advantage of their proprietary ASA (Advanced Speaker Array) technology. If this condition is not possible, adjust the SB Spc (Surround Back Spacing) setting via the THX Audio (see page 51). * While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound. 8 Contents Introduction Important Safety Instructions ....................2 Precautions .................................................3 Speaker Precautions ..................................4 Package Contents .......................................5 Features .......................................................6 Enjoying Home Theater ..............................8 Speaker Sets A and B ...................................8 Basic Operation Playing Your AV Components ................ 37 Basic AV Receiver Operation ..................... 37 Using the Multichannel DVD Input.............. 38 Displaying Source Information.................... 38 Listening to the Radio.............................. 39 Listening to AM/FM stations ....................... 39 Presetting Radio Stations ........................... 40 Common Functions.................................. 43 Setting the Display Brightness.................... 43 Adjusting the Bass and Treble.................... 43 Muting the AV Receiver .............................. 43 Using the Sleep Timer ................................ 44 Using Headphones ..................................... 44 Adjusting Speaker Levels ........................... 44 Getting to Know the AV Receiver ............10 Remote Controller.....................................13 Speakers ....................................................18 Connection Connecting Your Speakers ......................19 Connecting Antennas ...............................20 Connecting Your Components ................22 About AV Connections ................................22 Connecting Audio and Video Signals to the AV Receiver ....................................23 Which Connections Should I Use?..............23 TV or Projector ..........................................24 Enjoying the Listening Modes Using the Listening Modes...................... 45 Selecting Listening Modes.......................... 45 About the Listening Modes ......................... 47 Using the Late Night Function .................... 49 Using the Re-EQ ........................................ 49 Using the Audio Adjust Settings ................. 49 Using the THX Audio Settings .................... 51 DVD player.................................................25 VCR or DVD Recorder for Playback ...........27 VCR or DVD Recorder for Recording..........28 Camcorder, Games Console, or Other Device.........................................28 Satellite, Cable, Set-top box, or Other Video Source ..............................29 CD Player or Turntable................................30 HDD-compatible Component ......................31 Cassette, CDR, MiniDisc, or DAT Recorder ...........................................32 Connecting the Power Cord of Another Component ...............................................32 Recording.................................................. 52 Advanced Operation Advanced Setup ....................................... 53 Advanced Speaker Settings ....................... 53 Digital Input Signal Formats ....................... 56 Correcting Sound and Picture Sync ........... 56 Controlling Other Components............... 57 Entering Remote Control Codes................. 57 Remote Control Codes for Onkyo Components Connected via .............. 58 Resetting REMOTE MODE Buttons ........... 58 Resetting the Remote Controller ................ 58 Connecting Onkyo Components..........33 Connecting the Power Cord ........................33 Turning On & First Time Setup Turning On the AV Receiver ....................34 First Time Setup ........................................35 Assigning Digital Inputs to Input Sources ....35 Changing the Input Display .........................35 Component Video Setup .............................36 Troubleshooting ....................................... 60 If you can't resolve an issue, try resetting the AV receiver by holding down the [VIDEO 1] button and pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button.
