With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo's own DSP surround listening modes. 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 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. Surround back left and right speakers These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, and DTS-ES Discrete. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2­ 3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. Center speaker This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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 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. 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 satisfying results. 1/3 wall length Surround left and right 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 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener. 17 Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier About AV Connections · 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. AV Connection Color Coding RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied speaker setup microphone (see page 41). Using Dipole Speakers You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions. Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown. Dipole speakers TV/screen The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal. Normal speakers 1 TV/screen 1 4 2 3 4 2 3 Using the Speaker Terminal Tool The supplied speaker terminal tool makes it easy to tighten and loosen the speaker terminals.

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 protection circuit may be activated. · Other models: You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to "4 ohms" (see page 51). 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 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. · Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided. · If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR SPEAKERS terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals. · Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier. · Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver/AV amplifier's rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier. · Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier. · Don't connect one speaker to several terminals. Connecting the Speaker Cables 1 Strip about 5/8" (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. Unscrew the terminal. 5/8" (15 mm) 2 3 Fully insert the bare wires. 4 Screw the terminal tight. The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals. Surround Surround back left back right speaker speaker Surround left speaker Surround right speaker Front right speaker Front left speaker Center speaker 20 Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier--Continued Bi-amping the Front Speakers The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance. · When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver/AV amplifier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room. · For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' tweeter terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' woofer terminals. · Once you've completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver/AV amplifier, you must set the Speaker Type setting to BiAmp to enable biamping (see page 51). Important: · When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers' tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals. · Use only speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher for bi-amping. Failure to do so may seriously damage the AV receiver/AV amplifier. Low range (Woofer) High range (Tweeter) Right speaker Left speaker Bi-amping Speaker Hookup 1 Connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier's FRONT R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker's positive (+) tweeter (high) terminal.

The AV receiver won't pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner. AM antenna push terminals FM antenna connector If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 23). Connecting the AM Loop Antenna The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. 1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown. Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only. 2 1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown. North American models FM 75 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown. (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. Insert the plug fully into the jack. Other models Push FM 75 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 FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception. 2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position. Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception. Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords. If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 23). Thumbtacks, etc. Caution: Be careful that you don't injure yourself when using thumbtacks. 22 Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier--Continued Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead. Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown. Outdoor antenna FM 75 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. · 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 possible 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 hazards. 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 circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown. 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.
