Onkyo HT-SP904 Connecting Onkyo Components, Connecting the Power Cord, Auto Power On/Standby

Connecting Your Components—Continued

Connecting Onkyo Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con- nection a in the hookup examples) (see pages 26 to 34).

Step 2: Make the connection.

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the input Display (see page 41).

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 on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all compo-

nents connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

■Direct Change

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

press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 43), as the Direct Change function only selects the FRONT DVD IN jacks.

■Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropri- ate remote control code first (page 64).

Notes:

•	Use only	cables for	connections.
	cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD,
	CD, etc.).
•	Some components have two			jacks. You can
	connect either one to the AV receiver. The other
	jack is for connecting additional				-capable
	components.
•	Connect only Onkyo components to					jacks.

Connecting the Power Cord

• Connect the AV receiver’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.

Notes:

•Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.
