Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, PORTABLECARTWARNING
tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the apparatus,
C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
16.

Safety Information and Introduction
D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in
any way, and
F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
Don't put candles or other burning objects on top of
this unit.
Batteries
Always consider the environmental issues and follow
local regulations when disposing of batteries.
If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and
10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or
board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away
from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for
warm air to escape.

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 user-
serviceable. 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. Don't use abrasive cloths, thinners,
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on the unit's rear panel (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is
readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
For models with [POWER] button, or with both
[POWER] and [ON/STANDBY] buttons:
Pressing the [POWER] button to select OFF mode
does not fully disconnect from the mains. If you do not
intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove
the power cord from the AC outlet.
For models with [ON/STANDBY] button only:
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select
Standby mode does not fully disconnect from the
mains. If you do not intend to use the unit for an
extended period, remove the power cord from the AC
outlet.
5. Preventing Hearing Loss
Caution
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
6. Batteries and Heat Exposure
Warning
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not
be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or the
like.
7. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands--Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are
wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside
this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
8. Handling Notes
•If you need to transport this unit, use the original
packaging to pack it how it was when you originally
bought it.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a
long time, because they may leave marks on the
case.
• This unit's top and rear panels may get warm alter
prolonged use. This is normal.

The l_)llowing 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 l_)r a really powerful and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need
to set the speaker settings automatically (_ page 32) or
manually (0 page 50).

Connecting the Speaker Cables
The l_)llowing illustration shows how to connect the
speakers to each pair of terminals. If you're using only one
surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND
BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.
• You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between
6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels
for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection
circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (-) terminals only to negative (-)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have
contact with the AV receiver's rear panel. Doing so may
damage the AV receiver.

Connections
• 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.

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.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
•If your subwoofer is tmpowered and you're using all external
amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to all input on the

NAudio Return Channel (ARC) function
The Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an
HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to HDMI OUT

• This function can be used when:
- Your TV is ARC capable, and
- The TV/CD input selector is selected, and
- "HDMI Control(RIHD)" is set to "On"(_ page 60), and
-"Audio Return Channel" is set to "Auto" (_ page 61).
• To listen to the audio of a component connected via HDMI
through your TV's speakers, enable "HDMI Through"
(_ page 60) and set the AV receiver to standby mode.
