Connecting Your Components—Continued

Connecting Onkyo Components

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

Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below).

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 49).

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

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

Direct Change

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

[AUDIO SEL] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 78), as the Direct Change func- tion selects the DVD IN L/R jacks.

Remote Control

You can use the AV controller’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 117). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV control- ler and not the other component.

Notes:

Some components have two

 

 

jacks. You can con-

 

 

 

nect either one to the AV controller. The other jack is

 

for connecting additional

 

-capable components.

Connecting the Power Cord

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

Connect the power cord to the AV controller’s AC INLET.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable wall outlet.

Turning on the AV controller 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 controller into a different branch circuit.
