Press the [STANDBY/ON] button.

Alternatively, press the remote controller’s [RECEIVER] button, followed by the [ON/STANDBY] button.

The AV receiver comes on, the display lights up, and the STANDBY indicator goes off.

To turn the AV receiver off, press the [STANDBY/ON] button, or press the remote controller’s [ON/STANDBY] button. The AV receiver will enter Standby mode. To prevent any loud surprises when you next turn on the AV receiver, always turn down the volume before you turn it off.

To turn on the subwoofer, press its [POWER] switch to the ON position (not North

American models).

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

page 35.	COAX
	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.

Testing the speakers

CD recorder, MD recorder, RI Dock, etc.

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.
