Step 1: Be sure that the Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).

Step 2: Make the connection.

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

Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via , if the AV receiver is in Standby, it will turn on and select that component as the input source automatically. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components

connected via will also enter Standby. This function will not work if a component’s power cord is connected to the AV receiver’s AC OUTLET.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If the DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel input, you must press the

[MULTI CH] button (see page 35) to listen to all channels because the Direct Change function selects only the DVD IN FRONT jacks.

for connecting additional -compatible compo- nents.

Connect the AV receiver’s jack to only Onkyo components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s components may cause them to malfunction.

Some components may not support all func- tions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your components.
