Onkyo TX-NR5007 Speaker Configuration, Attaching the Speaker Labels, Connecting Powered Subwoofers

Connecting the AV receiver—Continued

Speaker Configuration

For 9.2-channel surround-sound playback, you need nine speakers and two powered subwoofers.

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L terminal.

No matter how many speakers you use, two powered subwoofers are recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically

(see page 61) or manually (see page 95).

Note:

Front high and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded

and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of

each speaker cable in accordance with the above table.

Then all you need to do is to match the color of each

label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

(North American models)

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker ter-

minal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center

hole of the speaker terminal.

Connecting Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE

OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on your powered sub-

woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and

you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE

OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks

respectively. Level and distance can be set individually

for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to

PRE OUT: SW1.
