TheaterEnjoying Home Theater Thanks to the AV receivers superb
capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of
movement in your own homejust like being in a movie theater or
concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and
Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro
Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyos original DSP lis- tening modes. You
can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system
recommended).Front speakers (Left and Right)These output the
overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-vide a solid

front speakers.Surround speakers (Left and Right)These speakers are
used for precise sound positioning and to add real-istic ambience.
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightlybehind,
about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally

subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-FrequencyEffects)

listeningroom, and your listening position. In general, a good bass
sound can beobtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner,

(European, Australian and Asian models) of the AV receiver. To use
this function, you must select the TV/CD input selector. To use ARC
function, you must select the TV/CD input selector, your TV must
support ARC function and HDMI Control (RIHD) is set to On ( 56).
Tip To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your
TVs speakers: Set the TV Control setting to On ( 57) for an
-compatible TV. Set the Audio TV Out setting to On ( 56) when the
TV is not compatible with or the TV Control setting to Off. Set
your Blu-ray Disc/DVD players HDMI audio output setting to PCM. To
listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see Connecting Your

the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI
component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or
the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound
from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off. When the Audio TV
Out setting is set to On ( 56) to hear from your TVs speakers, by
controlling the AV receivers volume, the sound will be output from
the AV receivers speakers, too. When the TV Control setting is set

off. If your turntable (MM) doesnt have a phono preamp, connect to
PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-
tridge, youll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC
transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntables man- ual
for details. If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
AV receivers GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground
wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it. *2
When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC
input selector, video of the personal computer is output from HDMI
output(s). However, because the AV receiver selects the video input
in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you have
assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will
output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN. *3 To select the
multichannel input, select the BD/DVD input selector and see Audio
Selector ( 60). To adjust the subwoofer sensi- tivity for the
multichannel input, see Subwoofer Input Sensitivity ( 45). The AV
receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT
jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. With connection , you can listen
and record audio from the external components while you are in Zone
2/3. You can listen and record audio from the external components
in the main room; you can listen to the audio in Zone 2/3 as well.
With connection , you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record

Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV
receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.Tip If you cannot
achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a
commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead. If you cannot
achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna,
try using it with a commercially available outdoor AMantenna.
Connecting the Power Cord Note Step 1: Before connecting the power
cord, connect all of your speak-ers and AV components. Connect the
supplied power cord to the AV receivers Turning on the AV receiver
may cause a momentary power surge AC INLET.that might interfere
with other electrical equipment on the samecircuit. If this is a
problem, plug the AV receiver into a differentbranch circuit. Do
not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the
AVreceiver. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively foruse
with the AV receiver and should not be used with any
otherequipment. To AC wall outlet Never disconnect the power cord
from the AV receiver while theother end is still plugged into a
wall outlet. Doing so may causean electric shock. Always disconnect
the power cord from the Step 2:wall outlet first, and then the AV
receiver. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet. En 21 22.
Which Connections Should I Use? 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. Video Connection Formats Video component can be connected by
using any one of the following video connection formats: composite
video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the
latter offering the best picture quality. The AV receiver can
upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the
Monitor Out setting ( 42), which generally determines whether video
signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output. For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video
signals pass through the system without upconver- sion (e.g.,
component video input through to component video output). To
by-pass video upconversion in the AV receiver, simultaneously press
the VCR/DVR and RETURN on the AV receiver. While continuing to hold
down the VCR/DVR, press RETURN to toggle until Skip appears on the
display. Release both buttons. To use the video upconversion in the
AV receiver, repeat the above process until Use appears on the
display and release the buttons. Monitor Out setting set to HDMI
