Connect a turntable (MM) that has built-in a phono preamp to TV/CD IN or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car- tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s man- ual for details.

If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from HDMI output. However, because the AV receiver selects the video input in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN.

Before using the multichannel input, you must assign it to an input selector. See “Analog Audio Input” (50). To select the multi- channel input, see “Audio Selector” (68). To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity for the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (50).

The AV receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

With connection D, you can listen and record audio from the external components while you are in Zone 2/3. You can listen and record audio from the external components in the main room; you can listen to the audio in Zone 2/3 as well.

With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen in Zone 2/3 as well, use C and D.)

How to record the video

With the connections described above, you cannot record the video through the AV receiver. To make a connection for video recording (38).

Connecting Onkyo uComponents

Step 1:

Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection D in the hookup examples) (22).

Step 2:

Make the uconnection (see illustration below).

Step 3:

If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display (31).

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

Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via uwhile the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select that com- ponent as the input source.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that compo- nent as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to con- trol your other u-capable Onkyo components, point- ing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (93).

Note

Use only ucables for uconnections. ucables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

Some components have two ujacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting addi- tional u-capable components.

Connect only Onkyo components to ujacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

Some components may not support all ufunctions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power On and Direct Change ufunctions do not work.

Do not use uconnections if you use HDMI Control (RIHD) (65).
