Onkyo HTP-538 Manuals

En Enjoying Home Theater 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. Connecting the Speakers Corner position 1/3 of wall position Center speaker (SKC-538) 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. Front left and right speakers (SKF-538) They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to cre- ate a triangle, with the listener at the apex. Surround left and right speakers (SKR-538) Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 60 to 100 cm (2 to 3 feet) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener. Subwoofer (SKW-538) 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 posi- tion. 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. Red White Blue Green Front right speaker Center speaker Gray Front left speaker Surround right speaker Surround left speaker 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 posi- tive (+) terminals to only pos- itive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are wired incor- rectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp. Powered subwoofer * Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your AV receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack.

If the Auto Standby function does not work reli- ably, 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 speak- ers. 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. 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 sub- woofer’s feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the sub- woofer’s feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the sub- woofer.

Surround speakers*2 Speaker cables 8.0 m (26 ft.) Center speaker*1 Speaker cable 3.0 m (10 ft.) *1 For magnetic shielding. *2 Non-magnetic shielding. *3 Configuration of the rubber stoppers may be different from the figure, such as being 2 sheets instead of 1 sheet, but the total number will be same. 16 thin rubber stoppers*3 12 thick rubber stoppers*3 Caution • The front grilles are not designed to be removed so do not attempt to remove them forcibly, as this will damage them. To mount the front/surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall. To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two key- hole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall. Caution • A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hol- low 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 diame- ter of 9 mm (5/16") or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm (1/8") or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detec- tor to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes. • Leave a gap of between 5 mm (3/16") and 10 mm (7/16") between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home instal- lation professional.) We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, provid- ing a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the cen- ter speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.
