zConnection for the Onkyo CassetteTape Deck
The supplied remote controller has the following three extended functions in addition to operating the DVD Receiver:
•First, operating the TV (see page 31),
•Second, operating the Onkyo MD recorder (no zconnection is needed) (see page 31), and
•Third, operating the zconnected Onkyo cassette tape deck through the DVD Receiver (see page 31).
To use the third function, you need to make the zconnection between the cassette tape deck and the DVD Receiver. The z cable to make the zconnection is supplied with the cassette tape deck.
If you start playing back the cassette tape deck after making the zconnection, the DVD Receiver automatically changes its input source to the cassette tape deck

Positioning Speakers
Incomplete
Insert completely
Two speaker systems (SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B) can be connected to the DVD Receiver.
The SPEAKERS A system is to be placed in the main room, and the SPEAKERS B system is to be placed in a second room.
The configuration of the SPEAKERS A system
The SPEAKERS A system consists of the front left, center, and right speakers, surround left and right speakers, and subwoofer.
You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround.
The configuration of the SPEAKERS B system
The SPEAKERS B system consists of the front left and right speakers.
You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.
Standard speaker placement of the SPEAKERS A system
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.
Front
The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.
The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level.
Surround
The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle.

The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.
Refer to the speakers’ instruction manuals for details.
