Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

Connecting Onkyo u Components

Step 1:
Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected
to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con-
nection in the hookup examples) (see pages 26 to
a
35).
Step 2:
Make the u connection (see illustration below).
Step 3:
If you're using an RI Dock, change the Input Display
(see page 44).
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the follow-
ing special functions:
■ Auto Power On/Standby
When you start playback on a component connected
via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will auto-
matically turn on and select that component as the
input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set
to Standby, all components connected via u will
also go on Standby.
■ 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
(see page 89).
Notes:
• 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 con-
nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for
connecting additional u-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to u jacks. Con-
necting 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.
• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and
Direct Change u functions do not work.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all your
speakers and AV components.
• Plug the end of the power cord into a suitable wall out-
let.
• 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.
