Power Amplifier M-5000R Instruction Manual En
Introduction WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Precautions 1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder. 2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer. 3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.
For British models Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
Amplifier Precautions Before using the power amplifier M-5000R, be sure to read the page above entitled Important Safety Instructions and this page of Amplifier Precautions. Ventilation While using the M-5000R, the internal temperature will fairly rise. Excessive temperature rise may affect the amplifier performance.
Care From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other Chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
Features • 150 W/Ch (4 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.
Technology A WRAT (Advanced Wide Range Amplifier Technology) The M-5000R employs a host of proprietary Onkyo technologies to ensure optimal audio performance. 1. DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry) Since the advent of digital audio, the values of S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio have risen significantly. However, it is also recognized that in terms of perceived S/N, analog audio sources are not inferior to digital sources.

Getting to Know the Power Amplifier Front Panel a bcd ef The page numbers in parentheses show where you can find the main explanation for each item. a Power meter (➔ 21) The power meter shows the output power level. The large power meters have been designed so that the indicator needles move up to the peak level quickly and then return more slowly. This makes it easier to read transient power levels which last for only a fraction of a second.
Rear Panel a b c f a SPEAKERS L/R terminals b 12V TRIGGER IN/OUT jacks Connects to the 12V trigger input and output jacks on the other component to control the power amplifier. This enables the amplifier to turn on or go into standby state based on the standby status of the connected component. c INPUT SELECT switch This switch is located between the XLR IN and RCA IN. Use this switch to select the input type for its channel. When setting the switch to the left side, the RCA audio input is selected.
Installing the Power Amplifier v Ensure proper ventilation. 30 cm (12") 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") Install the power amplifier on a sturdy rack or shelf. Position it so that its weight is evenly dispersed on its four legs. Do not install the power amplifier in a place with vibration or an unstable location. The power amplifier is designed to have high conversion efficiency, however, its temperature will become much higher than other audio equipment.
Connections Connections Cable and Jacks XLR This cable carries analog audio. XLR cables are used for better noise immunity and longer cable runs. Do not connect XLR and RCA at the same time. It may damage the power amplifier. Analog audio (RCA) L White R Red Mono mini-plug Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio. Use the supplied or commercially available mono mini-plug cable to connect to the 12V trigger jacks on the other device for linked operation.
Connecting the Power Cord AC INLET Supplied power cord To an AC wall outlet (Plug type varies from country to country.) 1 En 16 Make sure that the main power of the power amplifier is turned off. 2 Connect all of your components. 3 Connect the supplied power cord to the amplifier’s AC INLET. 4 Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet. Tip • To reduce noise, do not tie the signal cable and power cable together. Wire them so that they are away from each other.
Connecting a Preamplifier Stereo Connection Preamplifier P-3000R Power Amplifier M-5000R Right speaker Left speaker This is an example of the stereo connection using the preamplifier P-3000R. Note • Set the INPUT SELECT switch to RCA side.
Bi-amping Connection Preamplifier P-3000R Power Amplifier M-5000R Power Amplifier M-5000R Tweeter (high) Woofer (low) Right speaker This is an example of the bi-amping connection using the preamplifier P-3000R. Note • Set the INPUT SELECT switch to RCA side. Important: En 18 • When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) jacks. • Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-amping.
Bridge Connection AV Controller PR-SC5508 Power Amplifier M-5000R Right Speaker Power Amplifier M-5000R Left Speaker This is an example of the bridge connection with the AV controller PR-SC5508. Note • When using the XLR inputs, do not connect anything to the RCA inputs. It may damage the power amplifier. • Make sure that the XLR cable is not split. The split XLR cable may be the cause of noise. • The power amplifier uses the European type XLR jack (pin 2 hot).
Turning On & Basic Operations Basic Operations Turning On the Power Amplifier Turning Off the Power Amplifier Standby LED ON/STANDBY POWER 1 Set POWER to the ON position (^) on the front panel. 2 Press ON/STANDBY to turn on the power amplifier. The power amplifier comes on, the display lights, and the Standby LED goes off. Tip • After a certain period of warming up, the temperature of the power amplifier’s components and internal temperature are stabilized, and the sound will soften.
Switching the Power Meter Range Setting Auto Standby (ASb) AUTO STANDBY x 1, x 10 Off LED METER RANGE You can switch the power output of speaker terminals between ×1 (default) and ×10 (10 times). 1 Press METER RANGE repeatedly to switch METER RANGE in the following order: ×1 (default), ×10, Off The x 1, x 10 LEDs and the Off LED will light according to the set status of METER RANGE.
Others Troubleshooting Power Can’t turn on the Power Amplifier. • Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (➔ 16). • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it in again. The Power Amplifier turns off unexpectedly. • When the set ASb starts running, the power amplifier will automatically go standby (➔ 21). • If the power amplifier cannot start with the Standby LED blinking, then it may be problem with the power amplifier.
