What can you do with u?

Connecting an Onkyo MD recorder to the CD receiver with an ucable allows you to control the MD recorder with the CD receiver’s remote controller. In addition, when playback is started on the MD recorder, the CD receiver will automatically select it as the input source.

To use u, you must connect the Onkyo MD recorder to the CD receiver with an ucable and an analog audio cable (RCA). In addition, the Input Display for the MD/TAPE jacks must be set to “MD” (see page 27).

Some u-capable components have two ujacks. They’re both the same, so you can use either one. The extra jack is for connecting additional u-capable components.

Notes:

When listening to the audio of a component connected to the CD receiver but with no uconnection, select TAPE input source.

It is also possible to connect the MD/TAPE jacks to a DAT recorder. When connected to a DAT recorder, set the Input Display to “DAT” (see page 27).

The MD/TAPE IN jacks can be connected to the audio output jack of a VCR. The VCR video output jack should be con- nected to a TV. When the CD receiver is connected to a VCR, set the Input Display to “VIDEO” (see page 27).
