Connecting to other components (continued)

Connecting the connectors

If you are using other ONKYO components equipped with connectors, you can control these components using the amplifier’s remote controller.

Before connecting

•The amplifier must be connected in the system hookups for control operations.

•Each component has two connectors. There is no difference between these connectors.

•The components may be connected in any order.

•The hookups on the previous page are necessary independently of the system hookups.

The illustration below is an example of a hookup. With these hookups, you can operate the CD Synchro Recording; when recording a tape with this unit from the CD player, you can start recording automatically (while the unit is in recording standby) at the same time as you play the CD (see “CD Synchro Recording” on page 14).

For CD Synchro Recording, at least the unit, amplifier, and CD player must be connected with the connectors.
