Notes:

Use only cables for connections.

To use you must make an analog RCA/phono con- nection between the CR-505 and the other component even if they are connected digitally.

If a component has two connectors, you can connect either one to the CR-505. The other connector is for con-

necting additional -compatible components.

Connect the CR-505’s connector only to Onkyo components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s compo- nents may cause them to malfunction.

Some Onkyo -compatible components may not sup- port the special functions described above.
