You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to

control your other u-capable Onkyo components,

pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s

remote control sensor instead of the component. You

must enter the appropriate remote control code first

(page 72).

Use only ucables for uconnections. ucables are supplied with Onkyo components.

Some components have two ujacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional 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 Onkyo components.

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