What does connecting an Onkyo DVD player using

an cable enable you to do?

To operate the system, you need to change the source name in the display to DVD (see page 65). (The default source name in the display is LINE.)

You can operate an Onkyo DVD player using the supplied remote controller.

When you start playing a DVD player, the unit input selec- tor will automatically switch to the DVD player (DVD).

About the LINE jacks

In addition to the previous examples, a laser disc player, satellite broadcast tuner, or VCR may also be connected. Connect the analog audio output jacks to the unit’s LINE using the audio connection cable.

The jack connection enables you to use the following functions:

To operate the system, the source name in the dis- play should be CD-R. (Since the default source name in the display is CD-R, you do not need to change the set- ting. See page 65 for further information.)

You can control a connected Onkyo compact disc recorder from the FR-N3X’s remote controller.

When the connected Onkyo compact disc recorder plays back, the Input Selector on the FR-N3X is automatically switched to CD-R.
