When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players

There are two SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number according to how you will be using the DVD player.

No. 601: This code is for operating the Onkyo DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does not have an zconnector, or it does but you are not using an z cable and connecting it.

No. 600: This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have an z connector that you are connecting to the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E with an z cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E. You do not need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the code has been changed to 601, then you will need to change it back to 600.
