available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s manual 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.

*5 When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select the PC input selector, the video of the personal computer is output from the HDMI outputs. However, if you have assigned the HDMI inputs to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals received from the HDMI inputs instead of signals from PC IN. To have the signals output from PC IN, select “- - - - -” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting

(➔ page 58).

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

•With connection F, you can enjoy audio from external components while you are in Zone 2/3.

■ Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via

u, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

■ Remote Control

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 86).
