Onkyo TX-SR500 Connections for remote control z, Power on/ready function, Direct change function

Connections for remote control (z)

The zterminal on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is for connecting other Onkyo components equipped with the same z terminal. When a component is z-connected, you can point the remote controller supplied with the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E at the sensor on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E and operate that component without having to switch remote controllers. In addition, by connecting components to the z terminal, you can also perform the system operation given below.

To connect components using the z terminal, simply connect a

zcable from this z terminal to the z terminal of the other component. An zcable with a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) miniature two- conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disk player, MD recorderm, and DVD player that has an zterminal.

Power on/ready function

When the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is in the stansby state, if an z- connected component is turned on, then the TX-SR500/ TX-SR500E also turns on and the input source selected at the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E automatically switches to that component.

If the power cord for an z-connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E, or if the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is turned on, this function will not work.

Direct change function

When the play button is pressed at an z-connected component, the input source selected at the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E automatically changes to that component.

Power off function

When the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is placed in the standby state, all z-connected components are also automatically put in the standby state.

Note

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-SR500/ TX-SR500E, switch the input selector from TAPE to MD (see page 23).

Notes

•Connect the plugs securely.

•Be sure to connect to the zconnectors using the zcable.

•For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

•If a component has two zterminals, you can use either one to connect to the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

•(USA and Canadian models only) With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-program code so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote controller without connecting the zterminals (see page 36).

•Do not connect the AV Receiver’s z connector to any component other than an Onkyo product. It may cause malfunction.

•Certain component models may not be able to control the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E.
