Connecting speakers Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are both very important. For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by THX Ltd.
Connecting speakers Using the speaker labels Connecting speakers The positive speaker terminals on the TX-SR800 are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals. After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-SR800. Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the TX-SR800.
Connecting antennas To use the tuner of TX-SR800, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas. • Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception must be done while listening to a station broadcast. • If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended. Assembling the AM loop antenna Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
Connecting antennas Connecting an FM outdoor antenna Directional linkage Make sure to follow the general rules given below: • Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.). • It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc. • To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers The TX-SR800 allows you to watch and listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a television in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different movies at the same time. The room where the TX-SR800 is actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2).
Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT) In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-SR800 from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below: • Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller Extension System) • Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles® and Xantech® Make the connection as shown below.
Miscellaneous Connections Connections for remote control ( ) The terminal on the TX-SR800 is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same terminal. When a component is connected to the terminal, it can be operated by the remote controller supplied with the TX-SR800. In addition, when you connect a component to the terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.
Miscellaneous Connections Connecting to devices with analog multi channel output Connect a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port for 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel output. L Connecting auxiliary power amplifier These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifier. You can use an auxiliary power amplifiers to listen at louder volumes than you can with the TX-SR800 alone. When using a power amplifier, connect each speaker to the power amplifier.
