Onkyo HT-R420 - Manual (Page 16)

Connections for remote control (z)
Notes
• Connect the plugs securely.
• Be sure to connect to the z connectors using the z cable.
• For proper operation the audio connection cables must be
connected. This applies to both remote and standard operation.
• If a component has two z terminals, you can use either one to
connect to the HT-R420. The other one can be used to daisy
chain with another component.
• With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the manufacturer code
so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote
controller without connecting the z terminals (see page 33).
• Do not connect the AV Receiver’s z connector to any
component other than an Onkyo product. It may cause
malfunction.
• Certain component models may not be able to control the
HT-R420.

Be sure to connect using

The z terminal on the HT-R420 is for connecting other Onkyo
components equipped with the same z terminal. When a
component is z-connected, you can point the remote controller
supplied with the HT-R420 at the sensor on the HT-R420 and
operate that component without having to switch remote
controllers. In addition, by connecting components to the z
terminal, you can also perform the system operation given below.
To connect components using the z terminal, simply connect a
z
cable from this z terminal to the z terminal of the other
component. An z cable comes with every cassette tape deck, CD
player, and DVD player that has an z terminal.
DO NOT connect the
power cord at this
time.
Power on/ready function
When the HT-R420 is in the standby state, if an z-connected
component is turned on, then the HT-R420 also turns on and the
input source selected at the HT-R420 automatically switches to that
component.
If the power cord for an z-connected component is connected to
the AC OUTLET on the HT-R420, or if the HT-R420 is turned on,
this function will not work.
Direct change function
When the play button is pressed at an z-connected component,
the input source selected at the HT-R420 automatically changes to
that component.
Power off function
When the HT-R420 is placed in the standby state, all z-connected
components are also automatically put in the standby state.
