Connections Connections Connecting Your Speakers Right Left Speakers A Integrated Amplifier Speakers B Right ■ Screw-type speaker terminals Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. Left 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) ■ Banana Plugs (North American models) • If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
Note • Make sure that the wires do not touch metal parts on the back panel or elsewhere. • Y plugs cannot be connected. • Two sets of speakers (Speakers A and Speakers B) can be connected to the integrated amplifier. You can select which speakers to output audio to when listening to music. You can also output audio from both sets of speakers. • If you use Speakers A or Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms.
Cable and Jacks Optical digital audio (A-9050 only) OPTICAL Coaxial digital audio* (A-9050 only) Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM. The maximum sampling rate for PCM input is 96 kHz/24 bit, 2ch. Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as Orange PCM. The maximum sampling rate for PCM input is 96 kHz/24 bit, 2ch. The integrated amplifier provides 75-ohm impedance matching.
Analog Connection Connecting a CD Player Integrated Amplifier This is an example of connection using the CD Player. Digital Connection (A-9050 only) Integrated Amplifier CD Player 1 2 CD Player 1 Connect the coaxial digital cable to the COAXIAL D1 jack. 2 Set the RI MODE switch to CD D1. Connect an audio pin cable to the LINE IN 1 jack. Set the RI MODE switch to CD LINE 1. (A-9050 only) Tip • The CD player can be connected to the LINE IN 1/2/3/4 jack.
Analog Connection Connecting a Tuner Integrated Amplifier This is an example of connection using the Tuner. Digital Connection (A-9050 only) Integrated Amplifier Tuner Tuner 1 Connect coaxial digital cable to the COAXIAL D2 jack. 2 Set the RI MODE switch to TUNER D2. Tip • The Tuner can be connected to the COAXIAL D1 or D2 jack or the OPTICAL D3 jack. However, when using the u interlock function, be sure to connect the Tuner to the COAXIAL D2 jack.
Connecting an Onkyo Dock Analog Connection Integrated Amplifier This is an example of connection using the Onkyo u Dock. Digital Connection (A-9050 only) Integrated Amplifier R ---- L AUDIO OUT OPTICAL Digital Media Transport, u Dock 1 Connect the optical digital cable to the OPTICAL D3 jack. 2 Set the RI MODE switch to DOCK D3. Tip • An Onkyo Dock can be connected to the COAXIAL D1 or D2 jack or the OPTICAL D3 jack.
Connecting Onkyo u Components Tip • For details on operating the connected components, see “Remote Controller” (➔ page 11). Integrated Amplifier Note • Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied with your Onkyo CD Player, Tuner or u Dock. • If two u jacks are present, you can use either one indifferently as they work the same way. • Connect only an Onkyo CD Player, Tuner or u Dock to the u jack. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.
Connecting a Turntable Connecting a Recording Component Integrated Amplifier Important: • Unless you have the full consent of the copyright holder, copyright laws prohibit using your recordings for anything other than personal enjoyment! • Do not change the integrated amplifier’s input while recording. Doing so will cause the audio from the selected component to be recorded. Note Ground wire • Volume adjustments and use of the muting function are not reflected in the signal output from LINE OUT.
Connecting a Subwoofer With Built-In Power Amplifier A subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier can be connected to be used. Connect LINE INPUT on the subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier to PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER terminal on the integrated amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in amplifier, connect the input jack of your amplifier to the pre out jack of the subwoofer. For details, refer to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
Turning On & Basic Operations Basic Operations Turning On/Off the Integrated Amplifier 8ON/STANDBY button 8 Turning On the Integrated Amplifier Turning Off the Integrated Amplifier ■ Operating with the remote controller ■ Operating with the remote controller 1 1 Press 8. The SPEAKERS (A/B) and Input source LEDs blink, then light up after a short time. Press 8. The integrated amplifier enters Standby mode and the LED goes off.
Selecting Speakers A and Speakers B You can select to output sound from Speakers A, Speakers B, or both A + B. Adjusting the Volume ■ Operating with the remote controller VOLUME q/w 1 SPEAKERS button 1 A LED B LED Press VOLUME q/w repeatedly. ■ Operating on the integrated amplifier Press SPEAKERS repeatedly on the integrated amplifier. The LED of the selected speakers lights. Note • While headphones are connected, this setting is disabled.
Selecting the Input Source You can switch inputs to select the desired source component. Choose an input from the following: LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, LINE4, LINE5, PHONO (D1, D2, D3 (A-9050 only)) The LED corresponding to the selected input will light up. Using the Direct Function By bypassing the tone control circuit, the Direct function uses the shortest path for enhanced sound quality.
Adjusting the Bass, Treble and Balance You can adjust the bass, treble and left/right output balance respectively. Muting the Sound You can temporarily mute the output of the integrated amplifier. ■ Operating on the integrated amplifier MUTING 1 BASS –/+ 1 TREBLE –/+ BALANCE L/R Turn the BASS –/+, TREBLE –/+ and BALANCE L/R knobs. Tip • By default, bass, treble and balance is set to the center position. Note Press MUTING. The SPEAKERS (A/B) and SELECTOR LEDs blink.
Advanced Operations Custom Setup Setting the Auto Standby Function When the Auto Standby (ASb) function is activated, the integrated amplifier will automatically enter Standby mode if there is no operation for 30 minutes with no audio signal input. Setting the speaker impedance You can set the impedance of the speakers that you connect to the unit. (A-9050 only) SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector AUTO STANDBY selector 1 Switch the AUTO STANDBY selector on the unit’s rear panel. ` [ON] Enables auto standby.
Others Troubleshooting First check the followings. Since the issue may be caused by other components that are connected, be sure to also check them while referring to their manuals. Further product operating procedures and FAQs (frequently asked questions) are available from the Onkyo web site. http://www.jp.onkyo.
Onkyo Dock There’s no sound. • Make sure that the Onkyo Dock is connected to the integrated amplifier properly. • Make sure that no video content is being played. • Reset the iPod. Other • When the Auto Standby (ASb) function is activated, the power of the Onkyo Dock connected via u is automatically turned off (➔ page 25). Can’t control properly by using the remote controller. • Make sure that the u cable is connected to the integrated amplifier correctly.
