Connecting the AV Receiver Speaker Connection Precautions Connecting Your Speakers Speaker Configuration The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. • Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals. Connecting the Speaker Cables Screw-type speaker terminals Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation 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.
Using Dipole Speakers You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back 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 dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

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 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.
