Onkyo TX-SR304 Connecting Onkyo Components, Connecting the Power Cord, Auto Power On/Standby

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 33).

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.
