Turning On the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier
• Connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’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/AV amplifier may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other elec-
trical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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/AV amplifier before you 
use it for the very first time. These settings only need to be made once.

See “Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey 2EQ)” on page 41.
■ Have you connected a component to an HDMI input, 
component video input, or digital audio input?
If you have, see “HDMI Input Setup” on page 48, “Component Video 
Setup” on page 49, or “Digital Input Setup” on page 50 respectively.
■ Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, 
or RI Dock?
