Connecting a Component with a Digital Audio Output (CR-515DAB only)

The following diagram shows how to connect a component with an optical digital audio output, such as a CD recorder, MD recorder, games console, satellite tuner, or personal computer.

Connect the CD receiver’s OPTICAL DIGITAL IN jack to an optical digital audio output on the other component. You can change the Input Display for the OPTICAL DIGITAL IN to DIGITAL, CDR, PC, or GAME so that it matches the type of component that you connect (see page 29).

What can you do with ?

Connecting an Onkyo component to the CD receiver with an cable allows you to control the component with the CD receiver’s remote controller. In addition, when playback is started on the component, the CD receiver will auto- matically select it as the input source.

To use , you must connect the Onkyo component to the CD receiver with an cable and an analog audio cable (RCA). In addition, you must change the Input Display for the DIGITAL IN so that it matches the type of component that you connect. When you connect a CD recorder to the DOCK/CDR jacks and OPTICAL DIGITAL IN jack, you must set the Input Display for DOCK/CDR to “CD-R,” and set the Input Display for OPTICAL DIGITAL IN to “CD-R/dig” (see page 29).

If you connect an audio processor such as the Onkyo UE-205, you must set the Input Display for DOCK/CDR to “PC,” and set the Input Display for OPTICAL DIGITAL IN to “PC/dig,” otherwise the wrong input source may be selected when playback starts (see page 29).

Some -capable components have two jacks. They’re both the same, so you can use either one. The extra jack

is for connecting additional -capable components.
