+ Make sure that the wires do not touch metal parts on the back panel or elsewhere.

+ Y plugs cannot be connected.

+ Two sets of speakers (Speakers À and Speakers B) can be connected to the integrated amplifier. You can select which speakers to output audio to when listening to music.

You can also output audio from both sets of speakers.

+ If you use Speakers A or Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. If you use Speakers À and Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 ohms. Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8 ohms may cause the protection circuit to activate.

+ When using only one speaker, or when playing back monaural

audio, don't connect a single speaker to both the left and right

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 feel unnatural.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so

may damage the integrated amplifier.

+ Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the integrated amplifier’ s rear panel. Doing so may damage the integrated amplifier.

+ Don't connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the integrated amplifier or cause it to malfunction.

O O O Bi-wiring Connection

Bi-wiring provides improved bass and treble performance. Using terminals of both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B, it separates high frequency from low frequency signals.

+ Bi-wiring can be used only with speakers that support bi- wiring and that have an impedance of 8-16 ohms.

+ When making the bi-wiring connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminal.

+ When making the bi-wiring connections, set SPEAKERS to A+B (> page 22).

Integrated Amplifier

+ As shown on the illustration, the wiring terminals of SPEAKERS A are connected to the woofer and SPEAKERS B are connected to the tweeter. However, wiring them the other way around is also possible.

‘With the integrated amplifier turned on, hold down DIRECT and press OLON/STANDBY.

Can't turn on the Integrated Ampli

+ Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (> page 14).

+ Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The Integrated Amplifier turns off unexpectedly.

+ When the protection circuit is activated (because of speaker short-circuit, overload, or over-current), the integrated amplifier enters Standby mode. Remove the source of the problem and turn the integrated amplifier back on.

+ Check that the switch on the back of the integrated amplifier is set to the correct setting (> page 25).

+ The settings are not enabled when the switch is changed during the Standby mode.

To change a setting, be sure to turn on the unit prior to making any changes.

+ Make sure the integrated amplifier’s volume control is not set to minimum (> page 22).

+ Make sure the correct input source is selected (> page 23).

+ Make sure the integrated amplifier is not muted (> page 24).

+ Make sure the speakers are connected correctly (= page 12).

+ Check all connections and correct as necessary (+ page 12).

+ While headphones are connected, the speakers output no sound (> page 24).

+ The integrated amplifier does not support digital formats other than PCM. Inputting a digital format other than PCM will cause loud noise.

The sound quality is not good.

+ Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (> page 12).

+ Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (> page 14).

+ The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as those from a TV. Try moving any such devices away from the integrated amplifier.

+ If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the integrated amplifier, such as a cellular phone that's being used to make a call, the integrated amplifier may output noise.

Headphone output is intermittent or there’s no sound.

+ This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones’ instruction manual for cleaning information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.

+ Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the integrated amplifier has been turned on and had time to warm up.

+ Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so refrain from doing it.

+ Depending on the country, the integrated amplifier may be polarity-sensitive. In this case, plug the power cord in a way that provides the best sound quality.

+ Install the integrated amplifier on a sturdy rack or shelf. Position it so that its weight is evenly dispersed on its four legs. Do not install the integrated amplifier in a place with vibration or an unstable location.

+ Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.

+ Make sure that the Onkyo Dock is connected to the integrated amplifier properly.

+ Make sure that no video content is being played.

+ When the Auto Standby (ASb) function is activated, the power of the Onkyo Dock connected via FI is automatically turned off (> page 25).

Can’t control properly by using the remote controller.

+ Make sure that the I cable is connected to the integrated amplifier correctly. Check that each device is connected correctly and that the RI MODE switch is set correctly (> page 17).

No sound is heard from a connected component.

+ Make sure the correct input source is selected (> page 23).

The sound from turntable is distorted.

+ If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp, connect to other analog inputs such as LINE IN.

+ If your turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp, connect a turntable to PHONO (+ page 19).

+ Make sure that the ground wire is connected. Otherwise, it may produce an audible hum and noise.

The remote controller doesn't work properly.

+ Make sure the batteries have been installed with the correct polarity (+/-) (> page 7).

+ Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)

+ The remote controller is 100 far away from the integrated amplifier, or there's an obstacle between them ( page 7).
