About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
a Front 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
a be fg listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward
so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
b Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis-
tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-
log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the
same height as the front speakers.
c Surround speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic
ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,
about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
d Surround back speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix,
DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the realism of
surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Posi-
cd tion them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear
level.
e Front high speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (prefera-
bly as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front speak-
ers.
Corner f Front wide speakers
position These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections. Right!
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Note
• The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.
• The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed.
Push plugs in all the way.

Connect your components to the appropriate jacks. The default input assignments are shown below.
✔: Assignment can be changed (➔ 39).
Refer to “About HDMI” (➔ 72) and “Using an RIHD-compatible TV, Player, or Recorder” (➔ 73).
Tip
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
• Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (➔ 52) for an p-compatible TV.
• Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (➔ 51) when the TV is not compatible with p or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.
• Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
• To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting External Components” (➔ 18).
Note
• When listening to an HDMI component through 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” (➔ 51) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume,
the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the “TV Control” setting is set to “On” (➔ 52) to hear from
speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound while the
TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn
down the AV receiver’s volume.

Note
• When you connect to both AUX INPUT AUDIO jacks and AUX INPUT LINE IN jack at the same time, AUX INPUT LINE IN jack
will be given a higher priority.
• The AV receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
*1 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have it, you’ll need a commercially
available phono preamp.
If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as
well as a phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.
*2 When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from
HDMI OUT. However, if you have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN
instead of signals from PC IN. To get the signals output from PC IN, select “- - - - -” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting
(➔ 39).

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s
designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

Note
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by
using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for
audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or
there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for
