special functions:
■
System On/Auto Power On
When you start playback on a component connected via
u, while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV
receiver 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

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 Onkyo components.
• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct
Change u functions do not work.
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.
• (European, Australian and Asian models) While the listening
mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the
power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make
recordings, select other listening mode.
