Important Safeguards—Continued
17. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, exten-
sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of
any kind into the appliance through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those con-
trols that are covered by the operating instructions as
an improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its
normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in per-
formance – this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, elec-
tric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appli-
ance is in proper operation condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat—The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat.
25. Liquid Hazards—The appliance should not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on
the appliance.

Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the TX-8011
Receiver is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn
on the TX-8011 Receiver, contact your Onkyo
dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the TX-8011
Receiver all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn
stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the TX-8011
Receiver immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.
Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other
chemical solvents, because they may damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.
For U.S. models
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which
provides guideline for proper grounding and, in particu-
lar, specified that the cable ground shall be connected to

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the TX-8011
Receiver’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC
120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY
does not fully shutdown the TX-8011 Receiver. If
you do not intend to use the TX-8011 Receiver for
an extended period, remove the power cord from the
AC outlet.
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-
nician for help.
Memory backup
The TX-8011 uses a battery-less memory backup sys-
tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, the TX-8011
Receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to
charge the backup system.
•
•
Once it has been charged, the TX-8011 Receiver will
retain the settings for several weeks, although this
depends on the environment and will be shorter in
humid climates.
For Canadian models
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,
FULLY INSERT.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-8011 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the TX-8011 is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con-
troller may not work reliably.
Close the battery compartment.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
TX-8011 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the TX-8011’s remote control
sensor.
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as pos-
sible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Connections
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a
pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker termi-
nals, not both.
Connecting Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• 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 nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
odd.
NO!
R
L
A

• The impedance of each speaker connected to this unit
must be no lower than 4 ohms. If you’re using only
speakers A or speakers B, the minimum speaker
impedance is 4 ohms. If you’re using both speakers A
and speaker B, the minimum speaker impedance is 8
ohms. 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.

Notes:
AM
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be
obtained indoors by mounting the antenna horizontally
above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should
be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and
TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If
circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter,
as shown.

Notes:
Connecting a Cassette Recorder
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
GND screw on the TX-8011. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which
case it should be disconnected.
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-
tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head
amp. Connect your turntable to the head amp, and
connect the head amp to the TX-8011’s PHONO IN L/
R jacks.
TAPE 1
Use an RCA audio cable to connect the TX-8011’s
TAPE 1 IN L/R jacks to the cassette recorder’s output
jacks, and use another audio cable to connect the
TX-8011’s TAPE 1 OUT L/R jacks to the cassette
recorder’s input jacks, as shown.
Tip:
• You can connect other types of recorders (CD
recorder, etc) to the TAPE 2 IN/OUT jacks.
• You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turn-
table with an MC-type cartridge. In this case, see the
phono equalizer’s manual for details.

Recording
This chapter explains how to record the selected input
source to an audio component with recording capability,
and how to dub from one cassette recorder to another.
Monitoring While Recording
Normally, the sound you hear while recording is the
sound input to the TX-8011. If you have a 3-head tape
recorder (i.e., separate erase, record, and play heads),
you can monitor the sound that’s just been recorded onto
tape while recording is in progress. This allows you to
adjust the recording level on the 3-head tape recorder
and hear the result immediately.
Recording the Input Source
The effect of a graphic equalizer connected to the TAPE
2 IN/OUT jacks will not be recorded.
Use the input selector buttons to
select the component that you
want to record.

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using your TX-8011, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is
noisy, or the STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
Power
• Relocate your antenna.
Can’t turn on the TX-8011?
• 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 the cable in again.
• Move the TX-8011 away from your TV or computer.
• Press the [FM MODE] button to select FM MUTE
OFF (page 19).
• When listening to anAM station, operating the remote
controller may cause noise.
The TX-8011 turns off as soon as it’s turned on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-
ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor
antenna.
Audio
Remote Controller
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet?
• The speakers are turned off. Turn on speakers A or
speaker B (see page 17).
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (pages 11–15).
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 10).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries, or old and new batteries (page 10).
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-
nents are properly connected (page 11–15).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is
correct and that the bare wires are in contact with
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 11)
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected
(page 17).
• If the AUDIO MUTE indicator is shown on the dis-
play, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button
to unmute the TX-8011 (page 17).
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-
tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head
amp (page 14).
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,
twisted, or damaged.
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the TX-8011, and that there’s no obstruc-
tion between the remote controller and the TX-8011’s
remote control sensor (page 10).
Make sure that the TX-8011 is not subjected to
direct sunlight, or inverter-type fluorescent
lights. Relocate if necessary.
• If the TX-8011 is installed in a rack or cabinet with
colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not
work reliably when the doors are closed.
• When using the remote controller to control other
components, some buttons may not work as expected.
• Make sure that the
cable and analog audio cable
are connected properly. Connecting only an
won’t work (page 15).
cable
• No sound is heard while the T-2 MONITOR indicator
is on. Press the [TAPE 2 MONITOR] button.
The TX-8011 contains a microcomputer for signal pro-
cessing 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.
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.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
• The turntable and speakers are located too close to
each other. Position them further apart.
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.
Resetting the TX-8011 to its factory defaults
To reset the TX-8011 to its factory defaults, turn it on
and, while holding down the [TAPE 1] button, press the
[DIRECT TUNING] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the
display and the TX-8011 will enter Standby mode.
