Connecting the A-9755/A-9555—Continued

Connecting a Preamp (A-9755 only)

The A-9755 can be used as a power amplifier with a separate preamp.

In this case, use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9755’s MAIN IN jacks to the preamp’s output jacks. Connect the speakers to the A-9755, and connect the playback components to the preamp.

With (Remote Interactive), you can control your -compatible Onkyo CD player, Tuner, and so on with the A-9755/A-9555’s remote controller.

To use , you must make an analog audio con- nection between the A-9755/A-9555 and each audio component.

And when you set the A-9755/A-9555 to Standby, all connected components will go on Standby as well (the A-9755/A-9555’s POWER switch must be set to ON for this to work).

Direct Change

When playback is started on an audio component con-

nected via , the A-9755/A-9555 will automatically select that component as the input source.

Remote Control Operation

You can control all components in your system by using the A-9755/A-9555’s remote controller. See page 8 for more information.

Use only dedicated cables for connections

(no cables are supplied with the A-9755/A-9555).

The A-9755/A-9555 has two jacks. They’re all the same, so you can use either of them.

jacks should be connected only to Onkyo compo- nents. Connecting them to another manufacturer’s component may cause the A-9755/A-9555 to mal- function.

Some components may not support all functions. See the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components for more information.

When using the A-9755 as a power amplifier (MAIN IN
