9 z (REMOTE CONTROL)
Connect the Onkyo components that have z connectors such as a
CD player, and cassette tape deck using the z cables provided
with them. When these components are interconnected, they can be
controlled from the remote controller provided with the HT-R490.
After connecting the z connectors, check the operation of the
remote controller buttons for use in controlling other components
(refer to page 30).
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables
must also be connected.
• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can
use either one to connect to the HT-R490. The other one can be
used to daisy chain with another component.
p AC OUTLETS
The HT-R490 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting
the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied
through the HT-R490. By doing this, you can use the STANDBY/
ON button on the HT-R490 to turn on and off the connected
devices as well.
7 DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL)
There are 2 digital inputs, one with a coaxial jack and the other
with an optical jack. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a
compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component.
• When using the optical input jack, remove the protective cap
and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the
protective cap.
• When using an optical input jack, always use an optical fiber
cable.
• When using the digital inputs, make sure to also connect the
analog connections whenever possible.
8 MULTI CHANNEL INPUT
By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1
channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that can properly
connect the HT-R490 to the peripheral device.
• Connect the video output to one of VIDEO IN connectors
(DVD, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2).
