With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following
special functions:
■
System On/Auto Power On
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.
■
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,
pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver's
remote control sensor instead of the component. You
must enter the appropriate remote control code first
(➔ page 40).

Note
• Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied
with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting
additional u-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other
manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to
the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.
Note
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is
not possible while it's in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to
the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver,
connect the TV/VCR's audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR's audio and video inputs. See the manuals
supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only
analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don't attempt analog
recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
