Connections Connecting the AV Receiver Connecting Your Speakers Connecting the Speaker Cables 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 SURROUND BACK L PRE OUT jack.
Speaker Configuration Speaker Connection Precautions The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer 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 automatically (➔ page 28) or manually (➔ page 41).
Using a Powered Subwoofer 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. LINE INPUT LINE INPUT Tip • If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Using Basic Functions Using the Automatic Speaker Setup With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain.
4 Press ENTER. Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup starts. Test tones are played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs. This process takes a few minutes. Please refrain from talking during measurements and do not stand between speakers and the microphone. Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone during Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, unless you want to cancel the setup. If you select “Audyssey Quick Start”, you will go to step 7.
Using a Powered Subwoofer If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be detected by Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup. If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again.

About Listening Modes The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound. ■ Explanatory Notes a e b a Front speakers b Center speaker c Surround speakers d Surround back speakers e Subwoofer c d Input Source The following audio formats are supported by the listening modes. A This is mono (monophonic) sound. S This is stereo (stereophonic) sound.
■ Onkyo-Original DSP Listening Modes Listening Mode Description Orchestra Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Listening Mode Description Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel S playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
Listening Mode Description Neo:6 This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1-channel playback. It S uses seven full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener. • Neo:6 Cinema Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS). • Neo:6 Music Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD). XCN This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.
Using the Home Menu The Home menu provides you quick access to frequently used menus without having to go through the long standard menu. This menu enables you to change settings and view the current information. Using the Sleep Timer With the sleep timer, you can set the AV receiver to turn off automatically after a specified period. 1 The Home menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT.
Changing the Input Display When you connect an u-capable Onkyo component, you must configure the input display so that u can work properly. This setting can be done only from the front panel. 1 2 Muting the AV Receiver You can temporarily mute the output of the AV receiver. 1 Press TV/CD, GAME or VCR/DVR. “TV/CD”, “GAME” or “VCR/DVR” appears on the display. Press and hold down the same button (about 3 seconds) to change the input display. Repeat this step to select the desired input display.
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 connected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Firmware Update To update the firmware of the AV receiver, you can choose from the following two methods: update via network, or update via USB storage. Choose the one that best suits your environment. Before proceeding with the update, please read the corresponding explanations carefully. ■ Update via network You need a wired Internet connection to update the firmware. ■ Update via USB storage (➔ page 68) Please prepare a USB storage device such as a USB flash memory stick.
6 Turn off the AV receiver using 8ON/STANDBY on the front panel. Do not use 8RECEIVER on the remote controller. Once turned off, the AV receiver will automatically turn on again. Congratulations! You now have the latest firmware installed on your Onkyo AV receiver. Troubleshooting Case 1: If “No Update” is displayed on the front display of the AV receiver, it means that the firmware has already been updated. You do not need to do anything further.
Updating the Firmware via USB 7 The AV receiver allows you to update the firmware using a USB device. Note • Never unplug or turn off the AV receiver during the update process. • Never plug or unplug an HDMI cable or a USB device during the update process. • Never unplug the USB storage device containing the firmware file or the AC power cord during the update process. • Do not attempt to access the AV receiver from your PC while it is being updated.
Troubleshooting Case 1: If “No Update” is displayed on the front display of the AV receiver, it means that the firmware has already been updated. You do not need to do anything further. Case 2: If an error occurs, “Error!! *-**” is displayed on the front display of the AV receiver. (Alpha-numeric characters on the front display are denoted by asterisks.) Refer to the following table and take appropriate action.
Connection Tips and Video Signal Path 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide. The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
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 players/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components.
Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder 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, operation with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
