Connecting Onkyo RI Components

1

Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected

 

with an analog audio cable (connection G in the

 

hookup examples) (page 16).

2

Make the uconnection (see the illustration).

3

If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,

 

change the Input Display (page 41).

With u(Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via

u, while the AV receiver is on standby, the AV

receiver will automatically turn on and select that

component as the input source.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via

u, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to

control your other u-capable Onkyo components,

pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s

remote control sensor instead of the component. You

must enter the appropriate remote control code first

(page 70).

Use only ucables for uconnections. ucables are supplied with Onkyo components.

Some components have two ujacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional u-capable components.

Connect only Onkyo components to ujacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

Some components may not support all ufunctions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your Onkyo components.

While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct Change ufunctions do not work.
