If you have a graphic equalizer

Connect the graphic equalizer to the TAPE-2 IN jacks and the recorder to the equalizer. If you do so, you can use the TAPE-2 Monitor function to monitor the sound processed by the equalizer during recording.

CAUTION:

Do not select a Surround mode when using the equalizer. This will result in distortion and possible damage to the Surround decoder circuitry.

8Connecting the z remote control cables

An Onkyo cassette tape deck, CD player or DVD player equipped with an z jack can be connected to the TX-DS656 via the remote control cable supplied with the unit. Once connected, it can be operated by using the receiver's remote controller.

Note:

•Connect the remote control cable to the black jack with the z

mark; never connect it to the jack with the mark.

•For playback and recording, the unit also must be connected via audio connection cables.

•Do not use the z REMOTE CONTROL jack to connect products not bearing z symbol. Doing so may result in the failure of the equipment.

•You cannot operate turntables and MD recorders by remote controller even if they are Onkyo z compatible.
