Note  
• Make sure that the wires do not touch metal parts on the back  
panel or elsewhere.  
• Y plugs cannot be connected.  
• Two sets of speakers (Speakers A and Speakers B) can be  
connected to the integrated amplifier. You can select which  
speakers to output audio to when listening to music.  
You can also output audio from both sets of speakers.  
• If you use Speakers A or Speakers B, make sure to use speakers  
with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. If you use Speakers A and  
Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 8  
to 16 ohms. Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8  
ohms may cause the protection circuit to activate.  
• When using only one speaker, or when playing back monaural  
audio, don’t connect a single speaker to both the left and right  
speaker terminals.  
• 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 feel unnatural.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so  
may damage the integrated amplifier.  
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with  
the integrated amplifier’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the  
integrated amplifier.  
• Don’t connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker  
terminal. Doing so could damage the integrated amplifier or  
cause it to malfunction.

Bi-wiring Connection  
Bi-wiring provides improved bass and treble performance. Using terminals of both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B,  
it separates high frequency from low frequency signals.  
Important:  
• Bi-wiring can be used only with speakers that support bi-wiring. Refer to your speaker manual.  
• When making the bi-wiring connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low)  
terminals.  
• When making the bi-wiring connections, set SPEAKERS to A+B (page 27).  
Tweeter (high)  
Woofer (low)  
Right speaker  
Left speaker  
Tip  
• As shown on the illustration, the wiring terminals of SPEAKERS A are connected to the woofer and SPEAKERS B are connected  
to the tweeter. However, wiring them the other way around is also possible.

with an u cable.  
Note  
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or  
malfunctions).  
Right!  
• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from power cords and speaker cables.  
• The integrated amplifier’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.  
• To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.  
• Do not use digital audio signals other than PCM.  
Wrong!  
*
An analog audio cable can be used instead of a coaxial cable. However, we recommend that  
you use a coaxial or a composite video cable.  
Connecting the Power Cord  
Tip  
• To reduce noise, do not tie signal cables together with the power  
cable. Wire them so that they are away from each other.  
• Depending on the country, the integrated amplifier may be  
polarity-sensitive. In this case, plug the power cord in a way that  
provides the best sound quality.  
Note  
Never disconnect the power cord from the integrated  
amplifier while the other end is still plugged into a wall  
outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect  
the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the integrated  
amplifier.  
Supplied power cord  
• Turning on the integrated amplifier may cause a momentary  
power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment  
on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the integrated  
amplifier into a different branch circuit.  
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the  
integrated amplifier. The supplied power cord is designed  
exclusively for use with the integrated amplifier and should not  
be used with any other equipment.  
To an AC wall outlet  
(Plug type varies from  
country to country.)

• Always turn off the integrated amplifier before switching between MM and MC.  
Tip  
• If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp, you can connect the turntable to other analog inputs such as LINE IN 1.  
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an  
audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

Using the Integrated Amplifier as a Preamplifier  
The integrated amplifier can be used as a preamplifier (Pre mode). This mode keeps the heat down, as opposed to when  
the integrated amplifier is used as a pre-main amplifier. This is an example of connection using the power amplifier  
M-5000R.  
Important:  
• In this mode, SPEAKERS cannot be used.  
• To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (page 39).

Separating the Pre-amp and Main Amp Units  
You can use the integrated amplifier’s pre-amp and main amp units individually (Split mode) to connect a sound  
processor such as a graphic equalizer between the pre-amp and main amp units.  
Important:  
• Always turn the integrated amplifier off before connecting the MAIN IN jacks.  
• To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (page 39).

Using the Integrated Amplifier as a Power Amplifier  
Combined with a preamplifier of your choice, the integrated amplifier can be used as a power amplifier (Main mode).  
When it is selected, the MAIN IN LED lights. See “Connecting Your Speakers” for connection information  
(page 13). This is an example of connection using the preamplifier P-3000R.  
Important:  
• Always turn the integrated amplifier off before connecting the MAIN IN jacks.  
• Before setting the integrated amplifier to Main mode, make sure that no component such as a CD player is connected to the MAIN  
IN jacks, as a direct connection may cause a massive blast sound and damage the integrated amplifier or your speakers.  
• This mode can be used with the following limitations:  
– The volume level can’t be adjusted.  
– Only SPEAKERS and SETUP can be used.  
– Only the MAIN IN and SPEAKERS terminals can be used.  
– The Auto Standby function is not available (page 38).  
• To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (page 39).

Using the Direct Function  
INPUT selector  
By bypassing the tone control circuit, the Direct function  
uses the shortest path for enhanced sound quality.  
Although this function generally turns the display off, the  
integrated amplifier makes use of a display that doesn’t  
affect the sound quality. It is therefore possible to turn the  
display on while the Direct function is enabled. Also,  
since the left/right balance setting uses a system that  
doesn’t affect the sound quality, the balance can be  
adjusted even if the Direct function is enabled.  
Use the INPUT selector.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the integrated amplifier,  
look for a solution in this section.  
If you can't resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the  
integrated amplifier before contacting your Onkyo dealer.  
To reset the integrated amplifier to its factory defaults, see  
The sound quality is not good.  
• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the  
correct polarity (page 13).  
• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all  
the way (page 16).  
• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic  
fields, such as those from a TV. Try moving any such  
devices away from the integrated amplifier.  
• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio  
waves near the integrated amplifier, such as a cellular  
phone that’s being used to make a call, the integrated  
amplifier may output noise.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the Integrated Amplifier.  
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into  
the wall outlet (page 16).  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5  
seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
Headphone output is intermittent or there’s  
no sound.  
The Integrated Amplifier turns off  
unexpectedly.  
• This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones  
plug. See your headphones’ instruction manual for  
cleaning information. Also, make sure that the  
headphones cable is not broken or damaged.  
• Make sure that “ROUTE” is not set to “MAIN”  
• When the Auto Standby function is activated, the  
integrated amplifier will automatically enter Standby  
mode (page 38).  
• When the protection circuit is activated (because of  
speaker short-circuit, overload, or over-current), the  
integrated amplifier enters Standby mode. Remove the  
source of the problem and turn the integrated amplifier  
back on.  
Audio performance  
• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30  
minutes after the integrated amplifier has been turned on  
and had time to warm up.  
Audio  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or  
power cables may degrade the sound quality, so refrain  
from doing it.  
There’s no sound.  
• Depending on the country, the integrated amplifier may  
be polarity-sensitive. In this case, plug the power cord in  
a way that provides the best sound quality.  
• Install the integrated amplifier on a sturdy rack or shelf.  
Position it so that its weight is evenly dispersed on its  
four legs. Do not install the integrated amplifier in a  
place with vibration or an unstable location.  
• Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.  
• Make sure the integrated amplifier’s volume control is  
not set to minimum (page 27).  
• Make sure the correct input source is selected  
• Make sure the integrated amplifier is not muted  
• Make sure the speakers are connected correctly  
• Check all connections and correct as necessary  
• While headphones are connected, the speakers and PRE  
OUT output no sound (page 31).  
• The integrated amplifier does not support digital formats  
other than PCM. Inputting a digital format other than  
PCM will cause loud noise.  
• If “ROUTE” is set to anything other than “NORMAL”,  
make sure that each component is connected accordingly  
(page 23 to 25, 39).

Onkyo Dock  
Remote Controller  
There’s no sound.  
The remote controller doesn’t work  
properly.  
• Make sure that the Onkyo Dock is connected to the  
integrated amplifier properly.  
• Make sure that no video content is being played.  
• Reset the iPod.  
• Make sure the batteries have been installed with the  
correct polarity (+/–) (page 7).  
• Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix  
different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)  
• The remote controller is too far away from the integrated  
amplifier, or there’s an obstacle between them  
• The integrated amplifier’s remote control sensor is being  
subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light  
or sunlight).  
Other  
• When the Auto Standby (ASb) function is activated, the  
power of the Onkyo Dock connected via u is  
automatically turned off (page 38).  
Can’t control properly by using the remote  
controller.  
• The integrated amplifier is located behind the glass  
doors of an audio rack or cabinet.  
• Make sure that the u cable is connected to the  
integrated amplifier correctly.  
You need to change the input name to use u function  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded  
correctly.  
External Components  
No sound is heard from a connected  
component.  
The integrated amplifier contains a microcomputer  
for signal processing and control functions. In very  
rare situations, severe interference, noise from an  
external source, or static electricity may cause it to  
lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen,  
unplug the power cord, wait at least 5 seconds, and  
then plug it again.  
• Make sure the correct input source is selected  
• If “ROUTE” is set to anything other than “NORMAL”,  
make sure that each component is connected accordingly  
(page 23 to 25, 39).  
• Make sure the analog audio cable is connected correctly  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the integrated amplifier to Standby.  
The sound from turntable is distorted.  
• If your turntable (MM/MC) has a built-in phono preamp,  
connect to other analog inputs such as LINE IN.  
• If your turntable (MM/MC) does not have a built-in  
phono preamp, connect a turntable to PHONO  
If during idling the cover is too hot to touch, then  
ventilation needs to be improved.  
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected. Otherwise,  
it may produce an audible hum and noise.  
• Make sure the MM/MC selector is set in accordance  
with the cartridge format of your turntable.  
A popping noise is produced when the  
power is set to on or off.  
• Turn each of the components’ power on or off in the  
following order.  
When turning the power on:  
1. Source component  
2. Integrated amplifier (A-9070)  
When turning the power off:  
1. Integrated amplifier (A-9070)  
2. Source component
