Connecting Speakers Enjoying Home Theater You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround material. Each speaker must be positioned at a specific location in your listening room to get the best from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your surround-sound speakers.
Connecting Speakers—Continued Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • You can connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher. 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 protection circuit may be activated. • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.
Connecting Speakers—Continued Wall Mounting Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole fins on the rear of each speaker. To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.
Connecting Antenna This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS: • If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.
Recording This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an AV component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from two different sources. Recording the Input Source You can record only to AV components that are connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks. See pages 22–31 for information on connecting your AV components to the AV receiver.
Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer. Power Can’t turn on the AV receiver? • Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet. • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug it in again. The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned on? • The amp protection circuit has been activated.
Troubleshooting—Continued There’s no sound with a certain signal format? • Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off. • With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu. Can’t get 5.1-channel playback? • When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
Troubleshooting—Continued Others The sound changes when I connect my headphones? • When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, Direct. How do I change the language of a multiplex source? • Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “4. Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 44).
