Connecting Your Speakers

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. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX- certified THX speaker system recommended).

Front left and right speakers These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

Subwoofer 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 way along the front wall, as shown. 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 satisfying results.
1/3 of wall position

Surround back left and right speakers These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level.

Connecting Your Speakers
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer. The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

Front left

Front right

Center

Surround left

Surround right

Surround back*

Surround back left

Surround back right

• If you’re using only one surround back speaker, use the SURR BACK L terminals.
  No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
  To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 55) or manually (see page 101).

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward your TV or screen, while the surround back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

· You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, be sure to set the speaker impedance to 4 ohms (see page 47). 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 amp protection circuit may be activated.
· Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
· Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
· Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (­) terminals to only 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 AV receiver.
· Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
· Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

1 Strip about 5/8″ (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
2 Unscrew the terminal.

5/8″ (15 mm)

3 Fully insert the bare wire. 4 Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.

Bridging the Front Speakers
The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bridged together to provide almost double the output power for the front speakers.
· When bridging is used, the AV receiver is able to drive 2 speakers in the main room (2.1 speakers if you’re using a powered subwoofer).
· For bridging, the positive (+) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts are used, but the negative (­) FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminals are not.
· Once you’ve completed the bridging connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the Speaker Type setting to BTL to enable bridging (see page 47).
Notes: · Use only front speakers with an impedance of 8
ohms or higher for bridging. Failure to do so may seriously damage the AV receiver.
· When using bridging, make sure that your front speakers can handle the additional power.

Bridged Speaker Hookup
1 Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker’s positive (+) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker’s negative terminal.
2 Connect the AV receiver’s FRONT L positive (+) terminal to the left speaker’s positive (+) terminal. And connect the AV receiver’s SURR BACK L positive (+) terminal to the left speaker’s negative terminal.

About AV Connections
· Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.
· Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV receiver’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.

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

Description
HDMI connections can carry uncompressed standard- or high-definition digital video and audio and offer the best picture and sound quality.
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video jacks slightly differently.)
S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and provides better picture quality than composite video.
Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output. For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 112).

Notes: · The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s on Standby. · If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect
the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details. · Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT S jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the VCR/DVR OUT S jack.

Connecting Components with HDMI 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, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. 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, multichannel digital audio, or multichannel PCM). The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),1 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 will display a picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: High- Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a
Supported Audio Formats
· 2-channel linear PCM (32­192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit) · Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32­192 kHz) · Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Mas-
ter Audio) Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
About Copyright Protection
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),2 a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP. Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG3 in 1999. 2 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. 3 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.

Connecting Your Components–Continued

Making HDMI Connections
Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI- compatible DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector. See “HDMI Input Setup” on page 50.

Video Signals Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI outputs. See “Video Connection Formats” on page 30 for more information.

Audio Signals Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 114).

Hint!

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 114), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

When listening to audio from an HDMI component through the AV receiver’s speakers, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on your TV (e.g., on your TV, select the input to which the HDMI component is connected). If your TV is not turned on or a different input is selected, the AV receiver’s speakers may produce no sound or the sound may be cut off.

Note: · When the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 114), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening
through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

Connecting the Power Cords of Other Components (North American model only)

The AV receiver has AC outlets on its rear panel that can be used to connect

the power cords of other components that you intend to use with the AV

AC INLET

receiver. These components can then be left turned on so that they turn on and

off as and when the AV receiver is set to On or Standby.

Caution:

AC OUTLET

AC 120V 60Hz

· Make sure that the total capacity of the components that you connect to the

SWITCHED 120W 1A MAX.

AC OUTLETS does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).

Note:

· When the HDMI Control setting is set to Enable (page 114), the AC outlets

are on all the time regardless of whether the AV receiver is set to On or Standby, or Ready mode in this case, so any components connected to them cannot be turned on or off automatically.

AC 120V 60Hz
SWITCHED 120W 1A MAX.

· Integra/Onkyo components connected via should be connected directly to a wall outlet, not an AC OUTLET on

the AV receiver.

Connecting an External Controller
The AV receiver can be controlled externally by connecting an external controller. The controller can be connected to the AV receiver’s RS232 port or ETHERNET port. If a controller is connected to the ETHERNET port, in the Network settings (page 122), set the Control setting to Enable, and set the Port number as required. Refer to your controller’s instruction manual for details on which AV receiver functions can be controlled and operating information.

Connecting Your Components–Continued

Connecting Integra/Onkyo Components
Step 1: Make sure that each Integra/Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).
Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below). Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 52).
With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:
Auto Power On/Standby When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.
Direct Change When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel input, you’ll need to press the [Audio Selector] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 85), as the Direct Change function selects the DVD IN L/R jacks.
Remote Control You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Integra/Onkyo components. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 133). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver and not the other component.

Notes: · Use only cables for connections. cables
are supplied with Integra/Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
· Some components have two jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable components.
· Connect only Integra/Onkyo components to jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.
· Some components may not support all functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Integra/Onkyo components.
· While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change functions do not work.
