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
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. 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 AV receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have
contact with the AV receiver's rear panel. Doing so may
damage the AV receiver.

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.

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

N What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by
the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available
in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these
days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can
also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport,
rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting PS
information, the station's name will be displayed. Pressing
DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

Using Basic Functions
Measurement procedure
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary
listening position.
Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems
over the listening area in both the frequency and time
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for
everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and
Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (_ page 39).
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the
"Audyssey Quick Start" and "Audyssey 2EQ Full
Calibration".
• "Audyssey Quick Start" uses the measurement from
one position to perform the speaker setting only.
• "Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration" uses the
measurement from three positions to correct room
response in addition to the speaker setting.
The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes
about 10 minutes.

To create a listening environment in your home theater
that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes
measurements at up to 3 positions within the listening
area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated
listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the
ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your
hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate
results.
@ First measurement

position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this
refers to the most central position where one would
normally sit within the listening environment.
Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this
position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity,
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
(_) Second measurement

Controlling Other Onkyo Components
You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to
control your other Onkyo AV components. This section
explains how to enter the remote control code (with the

The following REMOTE MODE are preprogrammed
with remote control codes for controlling the components
listed. You do not need to enter a remote control code to
control these components.
For details on controlling these components, see the pages
