Connecting Onkyo V Components 1 Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection ' in the hookup examples) (➔ page 17). 2 Make the V connection (see the illustration). 3 If you're using an RI Dock or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display (➔ page 35). With V (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions: ■ System On/Auto Power On When you start playback on a component connected via V 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 V, 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 V-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 50). e.g., cassette tape deck R L ANALOG AUDIO OUT RI Dock R L ANALOG AUDIO OUT Note • Use only V cables for V connections. V cables are supplied with Onkyo components. • Some components have two V jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional V-capable components. • Connect only Onkyo components to V jacks. Connecting other manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction. • Some components may not support all V functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components. Connections Connecting a Recording Component See "Recording" for details on recording (➔ page 36). VCR, DVD recorder, cassette tape deck, CDR, MD recorder, etc. L R AUDIO IN VIDEO IN 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. For example, 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. En-18
