Connecting the Power Cords of Other Components

The AV receiver has AC outlets on its rear panel that can be used to connect the power cords of other components that you intend to use with the AV receiver. These components can then be left turned on so that they turn on and off as and when the AV receiver is turned on and set to Standby.

Caution:

Make sure that the total capacity of the components that you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).

Note:

Onkyo components connected via should be con- nected directly to a wall outlet, not an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

The number of AC OUTLETS, socket type, and total capacity depends on the country in which you purchased the AV receiver.
