About Home Theater
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively
sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.
For the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, Onkyo recommends you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX
Surround EX playback.
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording
formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.
For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the
sound to reach the listener is constant. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance
the volume level between speakers (See pages 33 and 35).

How to use speakers
When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback).
When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround
playback).
When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4
channel surround playback).
When you have five speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right
speakers (5 channel surround playback).
When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and
surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback).
When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,
surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback).
No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1
channel playback).
Center speaker
Complements the sound effects from
front left and right speakers to enrich
and clear the sound image and move-
ment. In movies, an actor's speech
comes mainly from the center
speaker.
Place the center speaker as close as
possible to the TV or monitor, point-
ing it towards the listener’s ears.
Also, keep the center speaker’s
height at the same level as the front
left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
Outputs only bass sounds to
enhance and complement bass
sound effects. Place the sub-
woofer either at the front corner
of the room or at a position 1/3
from either front corner of the
room.
Front left and right speakers
Output overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound
images and fields.
Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to the listener’s ears in the listening position
for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that they are located symmetrically.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of
the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should
be placed symmetrically.
Surround back speakers
Enhance the sound space repre-
sentation with surround channel
signals. Recreating sound
movement effects and sound
fields behind the listener gives a
more realistic experience.
