Connecting Onkyo uComponents

1 Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection

Fin the hookup examples) (page 18).

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

uwhile 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

RI Dock

Note

R L ANALOG AUDIO OUT

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 68).

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.

Connecting a Recording Component

See “Recording” for details on recording (page 42).

VCR, DVD recorder, cassette tape deck, CDR, MD recorder, etc.

Note

The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in standby mode.

If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be recorded only via composite video outputs. For example, if your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a composite video output.

The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

Copy-protected Blu-ray Discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, the video circuitry is turned off and therefore no video signals are processed. If you want to make recordings, select another listening mode.
