Speaker Precautions

Package Contents

Make sure you have the following items:

AV Receiver HT-R280

Placement

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is there-

fore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do

not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in

humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier,

bathroom, or kitchen.

HT-R280 (➔ 7)

Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6) (➔ 5)

Indoor FM antenna (➔ 18)

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If

liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be

damaged.

AM loop antenna (➔ 18)

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the prod-

uct name indicates the color. Specifications and operations are

the same regardless of color.

• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces

that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or

unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-

age, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical

position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted

position.

• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or Blu-ray

Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may

occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turn-

table, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, otherwise

lower the unit’s output level.

Speaker cable for center speaker 10 ft. (3.0 m)

(Green) (➔ 13)

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive

devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or

picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed

nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-380 and SKC-380 feature

internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however,

discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you

should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes,

and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the

degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field,

thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discolora-

tion problems persist, try moving the speakers away from

your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be

caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close

to your TV or monitor.

4 floor pads for the subwoofer (➔ 14)

Do not place SKR-380 close to TV or a computer monitor

because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-

ing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is

within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in

the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables. (Always turn off your amplifier

before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.

About Home Theater

Speakers A and B

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: Speakers A and Speakers B.

Speakers A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.

While Speakers B is on, Speakers A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

Speakers B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

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 or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and

Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listen-

ing modes.

a b Front speakers (SKF-380)

Speakers A: Main Room

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-

vide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned

facing the 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.

Center speaker (SKC-380)

Corner

position

This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements

distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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 speakers.

While Speakers B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.

d e Surround speakers (SKR-380)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-

istic 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.

1/3 of wall

position

While Speakers B is on, these speakers outputs no sound.

Subwoofer (SKW-380)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency

Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your

subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening

room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be

obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third

the width of the wall, as shown.

Speakers B: Sub Room

Tip

• 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 satis-

fying results.

Connections

Connecting the AV Receiver

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.

Connecting Your Speakers

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have con-

tact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

For 5.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need

5 speakers and a powered subwoofer.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-

woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you

need to set the speaker settings. You can do this manually

(➔ 31).

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-

coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker

terminals are all black.)

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 imped-

ance, 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.

• 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insu-

lation from the ends of the speaker

cables, and twist the bare wires tightly,

as shown.

1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm)

(Supplied speaker cables are already

stripped.)

Using Banana Plugs

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Push-type speaker terminals

Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of the

speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Wall Mounting

• Leave a gap of between 3/16"

(5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm)

between the wall and the base

of the screw head, as shown.

(We recommend that you con-

sult a home installation profes-

sional.)

Wall

The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the key-

hole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against

the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers

to the rear of each speaker.

3/16" to 7/16"

(5 mm to 10 mm)

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.

Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More

Stable Platform

Front speakers (SKF-380)

We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to

achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The

rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, provid-

ing a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the cen-

ter speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,

tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer’s feet

may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the sup-

plied pads underneath the subwoofer’s feet. The pads also

provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

Caution

• A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends

on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow

walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are

no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.

• Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less

and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hol-

low walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any

power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record

audio and video from different sources.

Connecting a Recording Component

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely

separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your

video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact

that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected,

the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con-

nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder

connected to the BD/DVD IN are recorded by the VCR

connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is

not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to

the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the

recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-

plied with your TV and VCR for details.

• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be

recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is

connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must

be connected to a composite video output.

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be

recorded.

Explanatory Notes

■ Input Source

The following audio formats are supported by the listening mode.

This is mono (monophonic) sound.

This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two speakers.

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer chan-

nel (called the point-one channel).

*1 This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional speak-

ers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.

The AV receiver outputs this source in 5.1-channel surround sound.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a

solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your-

self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

■ The STANDBY indicator flashes red

The protection circuitry has been activated.

Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-

ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input

sources, and then leave the AV receiver with its

power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that,

reconnect the power cord and set the volume to max-

imum. If the AV receiver stays on, set then the vol-

ume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and

reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV

receiver turns off when you set the volume to maxi-

mum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your

Onkyo dealer.

—

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the

AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it

on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/

STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and

the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

in all the way.

Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- 16-18

nents are connected properly.

RECEIVER

AUDIO

Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is 12

correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with

the metal part of each speaker terminal.

Make sure that the input source is properly selected. 21

Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. 12

Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for

home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,

allowing precise adjustment.

—

To reset the remote controller to its factory defaults,

while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down

AUDIO until the remote indicator lights (about 3 sec-

onds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER

again.

If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, 22

press the remote controller’s MUTING to unmute

the AV receiver.

While a pair of headphones is connected to the

PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers.

If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to

an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output set-

tings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.

—

The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that

is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is con-

nected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPO-

NENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display

when changing settings.

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must

connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.

Power

Make sure that none of the connecting cables are

bent, twisted, or damaged.

■ Can’t turn on the AV receiver

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged

into the wall outlet.

—

Not all listening modes use all speakers.

Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individ- 31

ual speaker levels.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five

seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The input signal format is set to “PCM” or “DTS”. 37

Set it to “Auto”.

■ Only the front speakers produce sound

■ Noise can be heard

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the

audio performance, so don’t do it.

—

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

only the front speakers and subwoofer produce

sound.

—

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try

repositioning your cables.

Check the Speaker Configuration.

■ Only the center speaker produces sound

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro

Logic II Music, or Dolby Pro Logic II Game listen-

ing mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio

station or mono TV program, the sound is concen-

trated in the center speaker.

—

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

■ About DTS signals

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-

stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-

ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is

to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for-

ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you

switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the

AV receiver does not switch formats immediately,

you may not hear any sound, in which case you

should stop your player for about three seconds, and

then resume playback.

—

■ The surround speakers produce no sound

When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or

Mono listening mode is selected, the surround

speakers produce no sound.

—

Depending on the source and current listening mode,

not much sound may be produced by the surround

speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

—

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your

player is connected to a digital input on the AV

receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver

doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such

cases, you may hear noise.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

■ The center speaker produces no sound

When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected,

the center speaker produces no sound.

—

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

a malfunction.

■ The subwoofer produces no sound

The subwoofer outputs no sound while only Speak- 11

ers B is on. Turn on Speakers A.

When you play source material that contains no

information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer pro-

duces no sound.

—

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN

can’t be heard

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

nals, audio output may not start immediately.

—

■ There’s no sound with a certain signal format

Check the digital audio output setting on the con-

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

—

Video

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

—

■ There’s no picture

Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 15

in all the way.

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 26–28

cannot be selected.

Make sure that each video component is properly

connected.

16, 17

video input, you must assign that input to an input

selector, and your TV must be connected to COM-

PONENT VIDEO OUT.

When speaker B is turned on, Speakers A is reduced 11

to 2.1 channel playback.

You can not always select all of the listening modes, 26–28

depending on the number of the speakers connected.

If the video source is connected to a composite video 17

input, your TV must be connected to the correspond-

ing composite video output.

■ The volume cannot be set to 79

If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, 16, 30

you must assign that input to an input selector, and

your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital

interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video compo-

nents. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a

single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichan-

nel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) 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. (This may not work with some TVs and displays,

resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , so only HDCP-compatible components can

display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution

Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) , a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG in 1999.

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.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this

open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance

PCs and digital displays.

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

details.

components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over

HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-

tion with components other than p-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
