Onkyo TX-DS595 Instruction Manual page 13

Connections
If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect
it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT
(OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS595 depending on the type of
connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS595, the VIDEO 1 input
source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL 2 jack.
If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed
at the setup menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see
page 29).
6. Connecting a satellite tuner, television, or settop box
(VIDEO 2/3)
If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it
to the S VIDEO 3 IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not
have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to
the VIDEO 3 IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection
cable. You do not need to connect to both the S VIDEO 3 IN and
VIDEO 3 IN terminals.
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio
output terminal on the satellite tuner or television to the same
VIDEO 3 IN audio jack on the TX-DS595. Make sure that you
properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel
to the R jack.
If the device have a digital output jack as well, be sure to also
connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL
INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS595 depending on the type of
connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS595, the VIDEO 3 input
source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 2 jack.
If the digital connection is made at a jack different from the initial
settings, this must be changed at the setup menu: Input Setup →
Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 29).
You can also connect the device to the VIDEO 2 IN input jacks on
the TX-DS595 just like you can to the VIDEO 3 IN input jacks.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS595, the VIDEO 2 input
source is set for no digital input.
If you connect the device to the DIGITAL Input terminal, then this
input source must be set for digital input at the setup menu: Input
Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 29).
7. Connecting a television monitor or projector
(MONITOR OUT)
If the monitor or projector is equipped with an S video output
terminal, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO terminal with
an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal,
connect its video output terminal to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO
terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not
need to connect to both the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO and
MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminals.
Connect to devices with z terminals
The z terminal on the TX-DS595 is for connecting other Onkyo
components equipped with the same z terminal. When a
component are z-connected, you can point the remote controller
supplied with the TX-DS595 at the sensor on the TX-DS595 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 operations given below.
Power on/ready function
When the TX-DS595 is in the standby state, if an z-connected
component is turned on, then the TX-DS595 also turns on and the
input source selected at the TX-DS595 automatically switches to
that component.
If the power cord for an z-connected component is connected to
the AC OUTLET on the TX-DS595, or if the TX-DS595 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 TX-DS595 automatically changes to that
component.
Power off function
When the TX-DS595 is placed in the standby state, all z-
connected components are also automatically put into the standby
state.
CAUTION
If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-DS595,
switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see page 16).
REMOTE
CONTROL
z connector
Ex: Onkyo CD player
z connector
Ex: Onkyo cassette tape deck
To connect components using the z terminal, simply connect a
remote control cable from this z terminal to the z terminal of the
other component. An z remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-
mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape
deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that has an
z terminal.
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must
also be connected.
• The RC-447M remote controller does not support turntables.
• If a component has two z terminals, you can use either one to
connect to the TX-DS595. The other one can be used to daisy
chain with another component.
• With Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-program code
so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote
controller without connecting the z terminals (see page 38).
