Precautions  
Features  
1. Warranty Claim  
Onkyo’s Theater-Dimensional Sound  
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In  
case of warranty claim, please report this number.  
Theater-Dimensional Virtual Surround system developed  
by Onkyo creates the optimum home theater environment  
by adjusting the listening distance and the width of the  
sound output from the front speakers.  
2. AC Fuse  
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-service-  
able. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo autho-  
rized service station.  
Onkyo’s Intelligent Power Management System  
(IPM)  
Onkyo’s intelligent power management system (IPM)  
turns on/off the complete system, automatically (audio  
triggered), simply by turning on/off the television.  
3. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and  
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft  
cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it  
out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately  
with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol  
or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage  
the finish or remove the panel lettering.  
OMF cone  
Onkyo Micro Fiber (OMF) Speaker Cones, a major  
advancement in speaker design developed exclusively by  
Onkyo, use a light-weight silk fiber to greatly improve  
the damping coefficient — the result is clearly separated  
fundamental second and third harmonics, superior ambi-  
ance and a much more accurate, natural sound.  
4. Power  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,

Installation  
We can usually identify the source of a sound based on its loudness and the time difference (delay) between the sound reaching  
our left ear and right ear. The Virtual Surround system of this unit uses this characteristic of human hearing. This system, along  
with the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, creates an effect that makes you think the sound is coming from all around  
you, even though the sound is output from only two front speakers. The Virtual Surround system limits the sweet spot (effec-  
tive listening position) due to its nature. That is, the Virtual Surround system of this unit sets an optimum listening position at  
any point on the center axis when you face the unit. Any position not on the axis will have less effect. Also, if the room has  
many objects that reflect sound or that cause uneven reflection, the optimum effect may not be obtained.  
The effect of the subwoofer varies significantly depending on its location. Generally, placing the subwoofer in the corner of the  
room would be the most effective.

Installation (continued)  
Installation Precautions  
Install the unit on a level, stable surface. The unit may fall if you install it on a tilted or unstable surface.  
Follow the requirements below to place the unit on top of a TV:  
The TV surface on the top side is larger than the bottom surface of the unit.  
The TV surface is level and not tilted.  
The TV is not on an unstable surface.  
To prevent the PHC-5 from falling, be sure to attach the anti-slippage pads (included in the package) on the bottom of the unit,  
and use a strong rope to fix the unit against the wall for safety, as shown in the figure.  
If you cannot fix the unit using a rope, attach the dual-sided fixing tape (included in the package) to the bottom of the PHC-5 to  
fix the unit to the TV.  
Note 1: The dual-sided fixing tape (white) uses strong adhesive. It will be very difficult to remove the tape once it is attached to  
the surface.  
Note 2: Make sure that the surface on which you wish to attach the anti-slippage pad or tape is not dirty or wet. Otherwise, the  
pad or tape will not be fixed to the surface.  
Attaching anti-slippage pads or dual-sided fixing tape  
Anti-slippage pads (black)  
Dual-sided fixing tape (white)  
Anti-slippage pads  
Attach the included anti-slippage  
pads in the left and right corners  
on the bottom of the unit as  
shown in the figure. If the unit  
can not be secured with the pads,  
attach the dual-sided fixing tape  
Bottom of the unit  
on top of the pads.  
Do not place the unit in the following  
locations:  
Secure the unit against the wall using a  
strong rope to prevent the unit from falling.  
(Be sure to secure the unit against the wall  
at two places.)  
Where the width of the TV  
is narrower than the unit.

Do not plug the power cord into the AC  
outlet until all connections are completed.  
Connections  
Connecting to the TV (IPM system)  
Use the cable included in the package for connection. Connect the stereo audio connection cable as follows:  
To TV’s audio output L ch. jack...white  
white...PHC-5’s TV input L ch. jack  
To TV’s audio output R ch. jack...red  
red...PHC-5’s TV input R ch. jack  
Plug the cables securely. Incomplete connection may cause noise or malfunction.  
Refer to the manual for your TV or VCR for more information on AV output connections.  
CAUTION  
Be sure to connect fixed output to the “Fixed” audio output jacks. For variable output, refer to the manual for your TV to turn the internal  
speakers off.  
Lower the volume level on the PHC-5 before you change an input source using the INPUT SELECTOR, since the input level of a device  
connected to the VIDEO or AUX input jacks may be different from the input level of the TV and selecting a different input source may  
produce a loud sound.  
Some TVs may output audio signals even if the power is turned off. If such a TV is connected to a VCR that is programmed for recording,  
the IPM system may be enabled. To make sure that the IPM system is disabled, turn off the POWER switch on the PHC-5 or connect the  
TV output to the VIDEO or AUX input jacks. Refer to the “Connecting to VIDEO/AUX INPUT jacks” section on the next page.  
What is IPM (Intelligent Power Management) system?  
If the TV audio output is connected to the unit’s TV in jacks, turning on (off)  
the power to the TV will automatically turn on (off) the power to the unit. This  
is called the “IPM system.”

TIP  
You can connect any subwoofer with a crossover frequency between 100Hz and 200Hz. Place the subwoofer in the optimum position.  
The location of the subwoofer significantly changes the effects. In most cases, place it in the corner of the room to get the best results.  
Refer to the instruction manual that came with the subwoofer for more information.  
Connecting to VIDEO/AUX INPUT jacks  
Use the VIDEO or AUX input jacks for connection in the following cases:  
To connect another audio or video device.  
Lower the volume level on the PHC-5 before you change an input source using the INPUT SELECTOR, since the input  
level of a device such as CD player connected to the VIDEO or AUX input jacks may be different from the input level of the  
TV and selecting a different input source may produce a loud sound.  
To connect your VCR directly to the PHC-5, since your TV does not have audio output jacks.  
To connect your VCR directly to the PHC-5, since your TV has “variable” audio output jacks. (Refer to the “CAUTION” on  
page 7.)  
To connect your VCR directly to the PHC-5, since your TV outputs audio signals during programmed recording on the VCR  
even if the power to the TV is turned off. (Refer to the “CAUTION” on page 7.)  
Use the cable included in the device for connection. Connect the stereo audio connection cable as follows:  
To the audio output L ch. jack of the device...white  
To the audio output R ch. jack of the device...red  
white...PHC-5’s AUX or VIDEO input L ch. jack  
red...PHC-5’s AUX or VIDEO input R ch. jack  
Plug the cables securely. Incomplete connection may cause noise or malfunction.

Operating the PHC-5 System  
Compatible recordings and media  
The Virtual Surround system on the PHC-5 system produces the best effect with recordings (media) that use the “Dolby*  
DOLBY SURROUND  
Surround” system. These media include Hi-Fi VHS, laser discs, and DVD video, which carry the  
mark. The

C
Virtual Surround system also produces a great effect with normal stereo recordings, although some of them may seem to  
have a narrower stereo image or produce unnatural sound. In this case, use Stereo mode.  
Some stereo recordings use special recording techniques or special processing, such as virtual processing. The Virtual Surround  
system may sometimes over-enhance or reduce the effect too greatly with these recordings. In this case, use Stereo mode.  
The Virtual Surround system produces no effect with monaural recordings.

Programmable Remote Controller  
You can use the remote controller RC-382M to remotely control a TV or VCR by programming the functions of the remote  
controller for the device into the RC-382M.  
Notes on programming the remote controller:  
Use new batteries for the RC-382M and the remote controller for a TV or VCR. Using old batteries may result in a failure in  
programming or cause the programmed remote controller buttons to work incorrectly.  
The RC-382M uses infrared rays, like most other remote controllers. The RC-382M may be unable to program other remote  
controllers that use different technology.  
The RC-382M has twelve buttons for programming. The number of items you can store in these buttons depends on the  
manufacturer of the remote controller and the type of the devices you wish to program into the RC-382M. (Some remote  
controllers allow you to program only one or two functions.) Program the desired functions to suit your preference.  
When you are programming the functions of the other device into the remote controller, the device may accidentally  
respond to the operation of the remote controller. To avoid this, turn off the power to the device.

Refer to the instruction manual for the  
corresponding device for operational  
information on operating the device.  
Store the remote controller for the device  
in a safe place after programming is com-  
plete. If the programmed signals are  
erased due to dead batteries in the RC-  
382M or for other reasons, you will need  
the remote controller for the device to re-  
program the RC-382M.  
4 While the SENDING/LEARNED indicator is lit, press  
the button on the other remote controller that corre-  
sponds to the function you wish to program into the  
RC-382M.  
When the RC-382M finishes learning, the SENDING/LEARNED indica-  
tor turns off. Repeat Steps 2 - 4 to program the desired functions.
