Indoor FM loop antenna AM loop antenna Speaker cable labels Subwoofer cable Color-coded speaker cable Instruction manual Quick start guide Remote controller AA (R6) batteries x 2
Universal Port for Single-Cable Connection of Optional Onkyo Dock for iPhone/iPod or DAB+ Radio Tuner
A proprietary Universal Port located on the rear side of the HT-S5305s A/V receiver lets you connect an optional UP-A1 Dock for iPhone/iPod or UP-DT1 DAB+ Radio Tuner. If you have both peripheral devices, they can easily be daisy chained via an input on the UP-DT1. A key advantage of the Universal Port is that it accepts video and audio signals through the same cable that sends a power supply from the receiver to the devices. Net result: more connectivity, less cable clutter.
Active Powered Subwoofer for More Powerful Bass Impact
Low-frequency effects (LFEs) play a vital role in the overall impact of your music, games, and movies. To take full advantage of their deep bass impact, the HT-S5305 employs an active powered subwoofer. This type of subwoofer draws an independent power supply that leaves the A/V receiver free to focus its power on the mid- and high-frequency sounds.

About Home Theater

Speakers A and B
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.
Speakers A On Speakers B On Off Off On Off Indicator A A B B Output Speakers A: 2.1 channels Speakers B: 2 channels Speakers A: 5.1 channels Speakers B: 2 channels No sound

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receivers superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own homejust like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyos original DSP listening modes.
Speakers A: Main Room Front speakers These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide 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. Center speaker This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies its 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. Surround speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 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. Subwoofer 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. Tip 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 satisfying results.

terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided. Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receivers rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is 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 manually ( 30).
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels
The AV receivers positive (+) speaker terminals are colorcoded for ease of identification. (The negative () speaker terminals are all black.)
Speaker Front left Front right Center Surround left Surround right Color White Red Green Blue Gray
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 table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
Dont connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. Dont connect one speaker to several terminals.
Speaker cable labels is not supplied with the HT-S5305 Home Theater System.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers: You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative () terminals only to negative ()

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.). The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information: PS (Program Service) When tuned to an RDS station thats broadcasting PS information, the stations name will be displayed. Pressing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds. RT (Radio Text) When tuned to an RDS station thats broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display as described in the next section. PTY (Program Type) This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type ( 23). TP (Traffic Program) This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information ( 23).
Note In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction. If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
