A REMOTE CONTROL jacks

These (Remote Interactive) jacks can be

connected to the jacks on your other Onkyo audio components. The receiver’s remote controller can then be used to control all of your components.

To use , you must make an analog audio connection between the receiver and each component.

BIR IN/OUT

A commercially available IR receiver can be connected to the IR IN jack, allowing you to control the receiver when it’s out of sight, for example, installed in a cabinet.

A commercially available IR emitter can be connected to the IR OUT jack to pass IR (infrared) remote control signals along to other components.

CAM ANTENNA

These push terminals are for connecting an AM antenna.

DFM ANTENNA

This jack is for connecting an FM antenna.

EAC OUTLET

This switched AC outlet can be used to supply power to another component. The type of outlet depends on the country in which you purchased your receiver.

FPHONO (MM) input and grounding terminal

This analog audio input is for connecting a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge. The screw located on the upper-right of the PHONO (MM) inputs is for connecting a turntable’s ground wire.

GCD input

This analog audio input is for connecting a CD player’s analog audio output.

HTAPE 1/2 IN/OUT

This analog audio input and output are for connecting a recorder with an analog audio input and output, such as a cassette deck, MD recorder, etc.

ILINE 1/DVD

This analog audio input is for connecting a component’s analog audio output (DVD, RI Dock, etc.).

JLINE 2 input

This analog audio input is for connecting a component’s analog audio output (TV, etc.).

KSPEAKERS A

These terminal posts are for connecting speaker set A.

LSPEAKERS B

These terminal posts are for connecting speaker set B.

See pages 12–18 for hookup information.
