Connecting Onkyo u Components, Auto Power On/Standby

Connecting the AV receiver—Continued

Connecting Onkyo u Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).

Step 2: Make the necessary uconnections (see illustration below).

Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 44).

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

■Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via u, 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 components connected via uwill also go on Standby.

■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. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 85). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver and not the other component.

Notes:

•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 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 other Onkyo components.

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

Connecting the Power Cord

•Before connecting the power cord, connect all your speakers and AV components.

•Plug the end of the power cord into 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.
