frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-  
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug  
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
For models with [POWER] button, or with both  
[POWER] and [ON/STANDBY] buttons:

Connecting the Receiver  
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before making any connections.  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers.  
When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select  
which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to  
output sound simultaneously. (page 20 about  
“Speakers A” and “Speakers B”)  
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)  
of insulation from the  
ends of the speaker  
cables, and twist the  
bare wires tightly, as  
shown.  
5/8" (15 mm)  
1
• When you connect one set of speakers to either  
SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or  
when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker  
terminal posts and output sound only from either  
speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is 4 to  
16 Ω, and set the speaker impedance setting on the  
receiver to 4 or 6 Ω (page 13). When the impedance  
of the speaker to be used is less than 6 Ω, set the  
speaker impedance to 4 Ω.  
Unscrew the terminal.  
2
3
Fully insert the bare wire.  
• When you connect speakers to both SPEAKERS A  
and SPEAKERS B terminal posts and output sound  
from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers  
whose impedance is 8 to 16 Ω. Set the speaker  
impedance setting on the receiver to 4 Ω.  
Screw the terminal tight.  
4
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
• 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.  
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the receiver.  
The following illustration shows which speaker should  
be connected to each pair of terminals.  
Speaker set A

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the receiver.  
• Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of  
speaker terminals.  
Note:  
Receiver  
If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the  
impedance values, the built-in protection circuit may be  
activated resulting in no sound output from speakers.

Connecting the Receiver—Continued  
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer  
Using a suitable cable, connect the receiver’s  
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered  
subwoofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re  
using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER  
PRE OUT to the amp’s input.  
Note:  
Powered  
subwoofer  
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT is linked to SPEAKER A’s  
On/Off. When SPEAKER A is selected, the audio signal  
will output from the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT.

Configuring the Speaker Impedance  
On the receiver, the factory default for speaker impedance is “6 Ω”. If you need to change the speaker impedance setting,  
read “Speaker Connection Precautions” on page 11 carefully before performing the procedure below.  
Note:  
Be sure to minimize the volume level on the receiver  
before configuring the speaker impedance.  
Press the [] button to turn on the power.

Press the [SETUP] button on the remote  
controller.  
Use the arrow []/[] buttons to select  
3
“SP Impedance,and then press [ENTER].  
  
Change the impedance value to “4 Ω” using  
the arrow []/[] buttons.  
4
ENTER  
Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the  
setting.  
5
SETUP  
If you want to change the impedance setting back  
to the factory default setting of 6 Ω, follow the  
same procedure described above.  
Press the [SETUP] button on the remote  
controller to complete the setting.  
6
Notes:  
• This procedure can also be performed on the receiver  
by using [SETUP], TUNING []/[], PRESET  
[]/[], and [ENTER].  
• Press [RETURN] to return to the previous menu.  
• This procedure will be cancelled if the [SETUP]  
button is pressed before step 5.  
Setting example:  
If you’re using only one of the speaker sets connected to  
SPEAKERS A or B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each  
speaker’s impedance is 4 Ω to less than 6 Ω, or choose  
the 6 Ω setting if each speaker’s impedance is 6 Ω or  
more.  
If you’re using both of the speaker sets connected to  
SPEAKERS A and B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each  
speaker’s impedance is 8 to 16 Ω.

Caution:  
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself  
when using thumbtacks.  
Notes:  
• Once your receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the  
best possible reception.  
• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.  
• Refer to “Radio Frequency Setup” on page 24 for more information on switching the frequency setup.  
Tips:  
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM  
antenna instead.  
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially  
available outdoor AM antenna.

• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all  
components are connected properly.  
• Make sure that the correct input source is selected  
(page 20).  
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,  
press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to  
unmute the receiver (page 20).  
Can’t control other components  
• If it is an Onkyo component, make sure that the   
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.  
Connecting only an  
cable won’t work (  
page 17).  
• With some components, certain buttons may not work  
as expected, and some may not work at all.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via  
, point the remote controller at the receiver.  
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must  
connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and  
a phono preamp.  
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the  
PHONES jack, no sound is output from the speakers.  
(page 20).  
Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the  
audio performance; do not bundle audio cables  
together with power cords or speaker cables.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
Recording  
Can’t record  
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is  
selected.  
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the receiver,  
input signals are not fed through to outputs with the  
same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT).  
Others  
The functions don’t work  
• To use , you must make an connection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the  
component and receiver, even if they are connected  
digitally (page 17).  
The receiver 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 happens, unplug the power  
cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds,  
and then plug it back in again.  
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.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the receiver to Standby.
