If you have an Onkyo DS-A1 RI Dock

Connect its video output jack to the AV controller’s GAME/TV IN S jack.

Enter the appropriate remote control code before using the AV controller’s remote controller for the first time (see page 116).

Notes:

Connect the RI Dock to the AV controller with an cable (see page 42).

Set the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch to HDD or HDD/DOCK.

Set the AV controller’s Input Display to DOCK (see page 49).

See the RI Dock’s instruction manual for more information.

Connecting the Power Cords of Other Components

The AV controller has AC outlets on its rear panel that can be used to connect the power cords of other components that you intend to use with the AV controller. These components can then be left turned on so that they turn on and off as and when the AV controller is set to On or Standby.

Caution:

Make sure that the total capacity of the components that you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).

Note:

When the HDMI Control setting is set to Enable (page 107), the AC outlets are on all the time regardless of whether the AV controller is set to On or Standby, or Ready mode in this case, so any components connected to them cannot be turned on or off automatically.

Onkyo components connected via should be connected directly to a wall outlet, controller.
