Connecting the AV Receiver
—Continued
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 components
connected via
will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC
OUTLET on the AV receiver.
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 input, you’ll need to press the
[AUDIO SEL] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 80), as the Direct Change
func-
tion selects the DVD IN L/R jacks.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components. You must enter
the appropriate remote control code first (see page 138). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver
and not the other component.
Notes:
• Use only
cables for connections. cables
are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two jacks. You can con-
nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is
for connecting additional
-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Con-
necting other manufacturer’s components may cause
a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all functions.
Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo
components.
• While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power
On/Standby and Direct Change functions do not
work.
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all your speakers and AV components.
• Connect the power cord to the AV receiver’s AC INLET.
• Plug the other 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.
