ONKYO AVX-280 ユーザーズマニュアル

En

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: Speakers A and Speakers B.
Speakers A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.

*

While Speakers B is on, Speakers A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

Speakers B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

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 Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, you can enjoy DTS and 
Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listen-
ing modes.

a b Front speakers (SKF-380)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to pro-
vide 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.

c

Center speaker (SKC-380)
This speaker enhances the front 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 speakers.

*

While Speakers B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.

d e Surround speakers (SKR-380)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly 
behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they 
should be equidistant from the listener.

*

While Speakers B is on, these speakers outputs no sound.

f

Subwoofer (SKW-380)
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.

• 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 satis-
fying results.
