Precautions  
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use  
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-  
out the permission of the copyright holder.  
For U.S. models  
FCC Information for User  
CAUTION:  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
The user changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to  
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-  
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
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 deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards  
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-  
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-  
tering.  
4. Power  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION 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 230–240 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
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.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-  
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-  
nician for help.  
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If  
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.  
For Canadian Models  
5. 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.  
NOTE: THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS  
COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES-003.  
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:  
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,  
FULLY INSERT.  
6. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.

Supplied Accessories  
Precautions—Continued  
Make sure you have the following accessories:  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance  
with the following code:  
Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6)  
Blue: Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-  
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
Indoor FM antenna  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or  
coloured red.  
AM loop antenna  
IMPORTANT  
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse  
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must  
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same  
ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for  
the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.  
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable  
fuse in the plug.

Enjoying Home Theater  
Speaker Sets A and B  
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.  
Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 7.1-channel playback.  
*While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.  
Speaker set B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.  
*Only analog input sources are output by speaker set B.

Front left and right speakers  
These output the overall sound.Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor  
for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level,  
and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.  
Surround back left and right  
speakers  
These speakers further enhance the  
realism of surround sound and  
improve sound localization behind the  
listener. Position them behind the lis-  
tener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)  
above ear level.  
Center speaker  
This speaker enhances the  
front left and right speakers,  
making sound movements  
distinct and providing a full  
sound image.For movies it’s  
used mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to your TV  
facing forward at about ear  
level, or at the same height  
as the front left and right  
speakers.  
*
While speaker set B is on, these  
speakers output no sound.  
Corner  
Subwoofer  
The subwoofer handles the  
bass sounds of the LFE (Low-  
Frequency Effects) channel. In  
general, a good bass sound  
can be obtained by installing  
the subwoofer in a front corner,  
or at one-third the way along  
the wall, as shown.  
1/3 wall  
length  
Surround left and right speakers  
These speakers are used for precise sound  
positioning and to add realistic ambience. Posi-  
tion them at the sides of the listener, or slightly  
behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear  
level. Ideally they should be equally spaced  
from the listener.

Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-  
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote controller,  
such as a book or magazine, because a button may be  
pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.  
Slide the cover shut.  
3
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV  
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-  
cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control  
sensor.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing the batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-  
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
