Connecting Onkyo u Components

Step 1:

Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier with an analog audio cable (connection a in the hookup examples) (see pages 25 to 36).

Step 2:

Make the uconnection (see illustration below).

Step 3:

If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the Input Display (see page 48).

With u(Remote Interactive), you can use the follow- ing special functions:

Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via u, if the AV receiver/AV amplifier is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver/AV amplifier is set to Standby, all com- ponents connected via uwill also go on Standby.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver/AV amplifier automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s DVD multichannel input, you’ll need to press the [MULTI CH] button repeatedly and select “Multich” to hear all channels (see page 55), as the Direct Change ufunction selects the DVD FRONT L/R jacks.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appro- priate remote control code first (see page 103).

Notes:

Use only ucables for uconnections. ucables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

Some components have two ujacks. You can con- nect either one to the AV receiver/AV amplifier. The other jack is for connecting additional u-capable components.

Connect only Onkyo components to ujacks. Con- necting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

Some components may not support all ufunctions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change ufunctions do not work.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

Turning on the AV receiver/AV amplifier may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver/AV amplifier into a different branch circuit.

Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV receiver/AV amplifier. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the AV receiver/AV amplifier and should not be used with any other equipment.

Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver/AV amplifier while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the AV receiver/AV amplifier.

Step 1 (not North American model):

Connect the supplied power cord to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s AC INLET.

To AC wall outlet

Step 2:

Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
