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. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo's original DSP listening modes.

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall 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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Front high left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic llz Height, etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front left and right speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to place left and right at an angle slightly wider than the front left and right speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the front left and right speakers. Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it's used mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

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 width of the wall, as shown.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PREOUT jacks respectively.

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.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level. Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

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 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Configuration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers:	2	3	4	5	6	7	7	8	9
Front left	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Front right	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Center		✓		✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround left			✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround right			✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround back*					✓			✓
Surround back left						✓			✓
Surround back right						✓			✓
Front high left							✓	✓	✓
Front high right							✓	✓	✓

If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 45) or manually (see page 67).

Note:

Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver's positive (+) speaker terminals are all red (the negative (-) speaker terminals are all black).

Speaker	Color
Front left, Zone 2 left	White
Front right, Zone 2 right	Red
Center	Green
Surround left	Blue
Surround right	Gray
Surround back left	Brown
Surround back right	Tan
Front high left	White
Front high right	Red

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table.

Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

• Speaker cable labels is not supplied with the HT-S7200 Home Theater System.
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right, surround back left and right and front high 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 the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right and front high left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver's PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you're using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUB- WOOFER PREOUT jacks respectively.

The same signal is output from each jack.

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.
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK L/R or FRONT HIGH L/R terminals.
• 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.

• Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don't connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

1 Strip 1 / 2^ - 5 / 8^ (12- 15mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
2 Unscrew the terminal.
3 Fully insert the bare wires.
4 Screw the terminal tight.

FRONT HIGH L/R, ZONE 2 L/R

1 Strip 3 / 8^ - 1 / 2^ (10- 12mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
2 While pressing the lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

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 left (L) SURR BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Bi-amping 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 bi-amped to provide separate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.

• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers' tweeter terminals.
• Once you've completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the "Speaker Type" setting to "Bi-Amp" to enable biamping (see page 42).

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers' tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup

1 Connect the AV receiver's FRONT R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker's positive (+) Woofer (low) terminal. And connect the AV receiver's FRONT R negative (-) terminal to the right speaker's negative (-) Woofer (low) terminal.
2 Connect the AV receiver's SURR BACK R positive (+) terminal to the right speaker's positive (+) Tweeter (high) terminal. And connect the AV receiver's SURR BACK R negative (-) terminal to the right speaker's negative (-) Tweeter (high) terminal.
3 Connect the AV receiver's FRONT L positive (+) terminal to the left speaker's positive (+) Woofer (low) terminal. And connect the AV receiver's FRONT L negative (-) terminal to the left speaker's negative (-) Woofer (low) terminal.
4 Connect the AV receiver's SURR BACK L positive (+) terminal to the left speaker's positive (+) Tweeter (high) terminal. And connect the AV receiver's SURR BACK L negative (-) terminal to the left speaker's negative (-) Tweeter (high) terminal.

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV Receiver won't pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Once your AV Receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Caution:

Be careful that you don't injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 20).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM antenna push terminals, as shown.

(The antenna's wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.)

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Once your AV Receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV Receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 20).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• 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 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.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting 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.

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.

Caution:

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel 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.

• 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.

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/BD 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, and 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) ^2 , so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM

Supported Audio Formats

2-channel linear PCM (32-192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your DVD/BD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

■ Onkyo RHD for System Control

RIHD, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, operation with components other than R1HD-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

• Set "HDMI Control (RIHD)" to "On" (page 79).
• See "Controlling a TV" (page 90) and "Controlling a DVD/BD Player, or DVD/BD Recorder" (page 91) for operation.

Note:

Do not connect the R1HD-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so that the linked operations work properly.

DVD/BD player is up to three.
DVD/BD recorder is up to three.
- Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.

Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.

When the R1HD-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are not guaranteed.

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.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG ^3 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.

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1:

Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver's HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray player/DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2:

Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 39).

Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See "Video Connection Formats" on page 24 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 OUT, unless the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (see page 78).

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV's speakers, set the "Audio TV Out" setting to "On" (see page 78), and set your DVD/BD player's HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you'll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.
• When the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (see page 78), or "TV Control" is set to "On" (see page 79) and you're listening through your TV's speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver 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.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there's no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component's instruction manual for details.

Connecting Both Audio & Video

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD/BD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the AV receiver.

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.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.

The composite video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 39 and 40).

Signal Selection

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video.

However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present.

In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs.

A video signal from the Composite Video In jack is output from the Composite Video Out jack regardless of the output priority.

The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver's display when changing settings.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TV/TAPE OUT.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.

When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other RI -capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver's remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 89).

Notes:

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

Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup

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. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 71).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set to "On",

Audyssey Dynamic VolumeTM becomes available.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area.

① First measurement point

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

② Second measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

③ Third measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.

From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accordingly when prompted.

Notes:

• Before starting Audyssey 2EQ^TM Room Correction and Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.
• When starting the room correction and speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.

• 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.

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don't attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack. See page 29 or 34 for hookup information.

1 DVD/SD GAME TUNER 2	VCR/DVR AUX CD	CBL/SAT TV/Tape PORT	Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The AV receiver's MASTER VOL-UME control has no effect on recording.
3			On the source component, start playback. If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TV/TAPE, CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

:video signal
:audio signal

1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.
2 Prepare the VCR for recording.
3 Press the [AUX] input selector button.
4 Press the [CD] input selector button.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

Game-RPG

Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action

Use this mode when playing action game discs.

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there's too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Speaker Distance

This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 45). Here you can specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener's ears as the sound designer intended.

Unit feet: Distances can be set in feet. Range: 1 to 30 feet in 1-foot steps.

meters: Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter steps.

Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back R,

Surr Back L, Surr Left, Subwoofer

Specify the distance from the each speaker to your listening position.

Note:

Speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in the Speaker Configuration (page 67) cannot be selected.

Notes:

• The Center, Subwoofer and Front High distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the Center, Subwoofer, Front High Left and Front High Right distances can be set between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).
• The Surround and Surround Back distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the Surr Right, Surr Left, Surr Back R, and Surr Back L distances can be set between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

Level calibration

This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQTM Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 45). Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back R,

Surr Back L, Surr Left, Subwoofer

The levels can be adjusted from -12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (-15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).

Note:

Speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in the "Speaker Configuration" (page 67) do not output the test tone.

Note:

The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.

Tip:

If you're using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Equalizer Settings

This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 45). With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume of each speaker can be set on page 69.

Notes:

• You can select: "63Hz", "250Hz", "1000Hz", "4000Hz", or "16000Hz". And for the subwoofer, "25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz".

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Multiplex/Mono Settings

Multiplex

Input Channel

Main: The main channel is output (default).

Sub: The sub channel is output.

Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Mono

Input Channel

L + R : Both the left and right channels are output (default).

Left: Only the left channel is output.

Right: Only the right channel is output.

This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

Dolby Settings

PLIIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.

If you're not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Panorama

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Dimension

-3 to +3 (default: 0)

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

0 to 7 (default: 3)

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you're not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

Dolby EX

Dolby EX

Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is used.

Manual: You can select any available listening mode (default).

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.

Notes:

• If the "Surr Back" Setting is set to "None" (page 67), this setting cannot be selected.
• If the "Front High" Setting is set to other than "None", this setting is fixed at "Manual" (page 67).

DTS Setting

Neo:6 Music

Center Image 0 to 5 (default: 2)

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel.

Setting a value [0] in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Audyssey Settings

When the room correction and speaker setup is complete, the "Equalizer Settings" (page 69) will be set to "Audyssey" and the "Dynamic EQ" will be set to "On".

Dynamic EQ

Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).

On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level—not just at reference level.

Dynamic Volume (see page 45)

Off: Audyssey Dynamic VolumeTM off.

Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.

Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.

Note:

After the room correction and speaker setup is completed, even if Equalizer Setting is set to other than "Audyssey", when Dynamic EQ is set to "On", Equalizer Settings is set to "Audyssey".

When Dynamic Volume is set to effective, Equalizer Setting is set to "Audyssey" and Dynamic EQ is set to "On". When Dynamic EQ is set to "Off", Dynamic Volume becomes "Off" automatically.

Theater-Dimensional Setting

Listening Angle Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack (see page 41).

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.
• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

Auto (default):

The format is detected automatically. If no digital input signal is present, the corresponding analog input is used instead.

In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you can select a different source for each room.

Connecting Zone 2

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:

1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver

This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.

To use this setup, you must set the "Powered Zone 2" setting to "Act" (see page 83).

Hookup

• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver's ZONE 2 L/R speaker terminals.

Notes:

• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the AV receiver.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if "Speaker Type" is set to "Bi-Amp" (see page 42).

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an Amp in Zone 2

This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.

Hookup

• Check the volume. The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjustment.
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 52).
• If there's no sound from a DVD/BD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD/BD player's output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged.
• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 64).
• Specify the speaker distances (page 68) and adjust the individual speaker levels (page 69).
• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not still connected.
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 81).

Only the front speakers produce sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 67).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.
• Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

The front high and surround back speakers produce no sound

• Depending on the current listening mode, no sound may be produced by the front high and surround back speakers. Select another listening mode (page 64).
• Not much sound may be produced by the front high and surround back speakers with some sources.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).
• While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the front high and surround back speakers produce no sound (page 82).

The subwoofer produces no sound

• When you play source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 67).

There's no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (pages 60-63).

Can't get 6.1/7.1 playback

• If no front high and surround back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1/7.1 playback is not possible.
• You can not always select all of the listening modes, depending on the number of the speakers connected (pages 60-63).

The volume cannot be set to 79

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 77).
• If the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted to high positive values (page 69), then the maximum master volume possible may be reduced. Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after the Audyssey 2EQ^TM Room Correction and Speaker Setup function has been completed (page 46).

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 Late Night function doesn't work

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD (page 72).

About DTS signals

• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won't be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can't be heard

• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

Video

There's no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 21).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected (pages 23-35).
• If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, select "----" in the "HDMI Input Setup" on page 39 to watch composite video, and component video sources.
• If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 40), and your TV must be connected to either the HDMI OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT (pages 26 and 23).
• If the video source is connected to a composite video input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT or the corresponding composite video output (pages 26 and 23).
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector (page 39), and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT (page 23).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

There's no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN

• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported (page 23).
• If the message "Resolution Error" appears on the AV receiver's display, this indicates that your TV does not support the current video resolution and you need to select another resolution on your DVD/BD player.

The onscreen menus don't appear

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

The immediate display does not appear

• Depending on the input signal, the immediate display may not appear when the input signal from the HDMI IN is output to a device connected to the HDMI OUT.

Placement

• The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player otherwise lower the unit's output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. In such situations, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables. (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Speaker Care

Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.

Power Cord Precautions

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the SKW-770 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the SKW-770 into a different branch circuit.

The Home Theater means that 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.

Front left and right speakers (SKF-770)

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.

Surround left and right speakers (SKR-770)

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 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100cm ) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

Center speaker (SKC-770)

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.

Subwoofer (SKW-770)

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.

Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-770)

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

① Keyhole slots

These keyhole slots can be used to wall-mount the speaker (see page 11).

② Speaker terminals

These push terminals are for connecting the speaker to the AV receiver with the supplied speaker cables. The supplied speaker cables are color-coded for easy identification.

Simply connect each cable to the same-colored positive speaker terminal.

Caution:

The front grilles are not designed to be removed so do not attempt to remove them forcibly, as this will damage them.

Attaching the Speaker Bases

Before you connect the speakers, attach the supplied speaker base to each SKF-770.

1. Turn the speaker upside down with the protection cover attached.
2. Align the speaker base while the arrow mark is headed in the same direction as the speaker's face. Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
3. Align the screw holes on the speaker base with those on the bottom of each speaker, and affix the speaker base using the supplied screws. Recommended torque is 10kgf· cm (9 lbf·in). Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
4. Turn the speaker right side up.
5. Remove the protection cover.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• Attach the speaker bases in a manner that will not allow the speakers to tip over.
• Be sure to tighten the screws when you attach the speaker bases.
• Attach the speaker bases on a flat, level, and stable floor.
• After you attach the speaker bases, make sure that the speakers stand upright and are stable.

① OUTPUT LEVEL control

This control is used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer.

② LINE INPUT

This RCA input should be connected to the subwoofer pre out on your AV receiver with supplied RCA cable.

Note:

The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver.

Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there's a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

OUTPUT LEVEL

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only negative (-) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound un
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Use the supplied speaker cables to connect each speaker input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your receiver.

Match the color of each cable to the corresponding speaker terminal.

To make a connection, while pressing the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer's LINE INPUT to your receiver's PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER.

HT-S7200: If you are using an Onkyo HT-S7200 system, you can connect the powered subwoofer with two PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively. When using a single subwoofer, you can connect either jack. The other jack is for connecting additional subwoofer.

Wall Mounting

The speakers (center, surround, and surround back) can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots.

To mount the surround or surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.

Surround speakers/Surround back speakers (SKR-770/SKB-770)

To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.

Center speaker (SKC-770)

Caution:

A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16'' (8 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 5/32'' (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

Leave a gap of between 7/32" (5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)

Using the Cork Stoppers for a More Stable Platform

We recommend using the provided cork stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The cork stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use stoppers for the center speaker.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
