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.

Step 2: Make the connection.

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or HDD component, change the input Display (see page 35).

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.

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 37), 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.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

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

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

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.
