REMOTE CONTROL

The terminal on the TX-DS797 is for connecting other Onkyo

components equipped with the same terminal. When a

component is -connected, you can point the remote controller supplied with the TX-DS797 at the sensor on the TX-DS797 and operate that component without having to switch remote controllers.

In addition, by connecting components to the terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.

Power on/ready function

When the TX-DS797 is in the standby state, if an -connected component is turned on, then the TX-DS797 also turns on and the input source selected at the TX-DS797 automatically switches to that component.

If the power cord for an -connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on the TX-DS797, or if the TX-DS797 is turned on, this function will not work.

Direct change function

When the play button is pressed at an -connected component, the input source selected at the TX-DS797 automatically changes to that component.

Power off function

When the TX-DS797 is placed in the standby state, all - connected components are also automatically put into the standby state.

CAUTION

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-DS797, switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see page 23).

To connect components using the terminal, simply connect a

IR IN/OUT

If the TX-DS797 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to connect a remote sensor to IR IN input to be able to use the remote controller. Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked location where you can easily point the remote controller.

Using a mini-jack connector, connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the TX-DS797 and then place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the component or facing it.

VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S video configurations. Connect VCRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs.

The two video output channels can be used to be connected to video tape recorders for making recordings.

•When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to VIDEO 3).

•The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.

MULTI CHANNEL INPUT

By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1- channel or 7.1-channel output. So be sure to prepare a cable that can properly connect the TX-DS797 to the peripheral device. The signal input from SURR BACK R is output to the SURR BACK SPEAKER terminal.

When performing operations with

-connected components

 

using the

system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2).

• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must

 

also be connected.

 

 

•

If a component has two

terminals, you can use either one to

 

connect to the TX-DS797. The other one can be used to daisy

 

chain with another component.

 

• With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-program code

 

so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote
