Connecting Your Components—Continued

Connecting Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).

Step 2: Make the connection.

With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components

connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to press

the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (page 57), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT jacks.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 87).

Notes:

•Use only cables for connections. cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

•Some components have two jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other

jack is for connecting additional -capable components.

•Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

•Some components may not support all func- tions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

•If you connect an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component, you must change the input display (see page 46).
