• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD

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. To prevent this, the SKF-540F and SKC-540C
feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,
however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case
you should 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. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discol-
oration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing
tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Speaker Sets A and B
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.
Speaker set A (included speakers) should be used in your main listening room for up to 7.1-channel playback.
*While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.
Speaker set B (not included) can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.
*Only analog input sources are output by speaker set B.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-
light 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 AV receiver is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-

pressed continuously, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV

doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-
cle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control
sensor.
Notes:
• 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 possi-

country in which you purchased the AV receiver.

Connecting Onkyo Components
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con-
nection a in the hookup examples) (see pages 24 to 32).
Step 2: Make the connection.
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or HDD component, change the input Display (see page 35).
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 compo-
nents connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components 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 DVD input, you’ll need to
press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 37), as the Direct Change function only selects the
FRONT DVD IN jacks.
■ Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the
remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropri-
ate remote control code first (page 59).

Connecting the Power Cord

• Connect the AV receiver’s and subwoofer’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the AV receiver and subwoofer may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other
electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.

Smooth Operation in a Few Easy Steps

To ensure smooth operation, here’s a few easy steps to help you configure the AV receiver before you use it for the
very first time. These settings only need to be made once.
■ Have you connected a component to a digital audio input?
If you have, see “Assigning Digital Inputs to Input Sources” on
COAX
page 35.
OPT1
■ Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, OUT IN
or next generation HDD-compatible component?

If you have, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 35.
TAPE CD recorder, MD recorder,
RI Dock, etc.
Testing the speakers

To test that all of the speakers are working properly, press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button. The
test tone will be output by each speaker in turn and the name of each speaker will appear on the display. To turn off
the test tone, press the [TEST TONE] button again.
• If the test tone is not produced by a speaker, or it’s produced by a speaker other than that shown on the display,
you may have wired the speakers incorrectly and you should check your connections (see page 19).
• Testing cannot be performed while speaker set B is on or a pair of headphones is connected.

The volume can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX. Since the AV receiver is
VOL designed for home theater enjoyment, it has a wide volume range for precise adjust-
ment.
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.
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.
