Connecting the AV Receiver-Continued Connecting Onkyo V Components Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA). Step 2: Make the necessary V connections (see illustration below). Step 3: If you're using an MD, CDR, or RI DOCK component, change the Input Display (see page 63). With V (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions: Auto Power On/Standby 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. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via V will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver. Direct Change When playback is started on a component connected via V, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver's multichannel input, you'll need to press the [AUDIO SEL] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 80), as the Direct Change V function selects the DVD IN L/R jacks. Remote Control You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other V-capable Onkyo components. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 138). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver and not the other component. Notes: • 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. • While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change V functions do not work.

If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit. 50
