Onkyo TX-SR308 Owner Manual - Page 16

Connecting Onkyo V Components Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection $ in the hookup examples) (➔ 15). Step 2: Make the V connection (see illustration below). Step 3: If you're using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display (➔ 20). 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, 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 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 (➔ 41). Note • Use only V cables for V connections. V cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.). • 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.
