Positioning speakers/Connecting speakers Two speaker systems can be connected to the Receiver. The speaker system A is to be placed in the main room, and the speaker system B is to be placed in a second room. The speaker system A consists of the FRONT SPEAKERS A (L/R), CENTER SPEAKER, SURROUND SPEAKERS (L/R) and SUBWOOFER. You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround. The speaker system B consists of the FRONT SPEAKERS B. You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.
Positioning speakers/Connecting speakers Before connecting • Refer also to the instruction manuals of the speakers. • Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural. • Connect speakers with an impedance between 8 Ω and 16 Ω Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8 Ω may damage the HT-R410.

Connecting antennas Connecting an FM outdoor antenna If the FM reception is not very clear with the supplied antenna, connect an FM outdoor antenna instead of the indoor FM antenna. Notes • Install the antenna well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received. • Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.). • It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
Connections for remote control (z) The z terminal on the HT-R410 is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same z terminal. When a component is z-connected, you can point the remote controller supplied with the HT-R410 at the sensor on the HT-R410 and operate that component without having to switch remote controllers. In addition, by connecting components to the z terminal, you can also perform the system operation given below.
Enjoying music or videos with the HT-R410 Before connecting • Make sure that all the connections from pages 10 to 16 are complete. • Turning on the AV Receiver may cause a momentary power surge, which might interfere with other electrical equipment such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet on a different circuit. MASTER VOLUME dial STANDBY/ON STANDBY/ON STANDBY indicator Before operating the remote controller Press RCVR/TAPE.

Recording a source To record the input source signal you are currently watching or listening to Recording of video and/or audio signals can be performed on the components connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT and TAPE OUT (audio only) jacks. Recording the video from one source and the audio from another You can add the sound from one source to the video of another source to make your own video recordings.
Using the remote controller with your other AV components Connecting your Onkyo CD player, Onkyo DVD player, or Onkyo cassette recorder to the HT-R410’s z connector allows you to control it with the HT-R410’s remote controller. Since you only need to point the remote controller at the HT-R410, you can control components that are out of sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since you don’t have to enter any special codes, or do any programming, z allows you to control your Onkyo AV components quickly and easily.
