With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following
special functions:
■ System On/Auto Power On
When you start playback on a component connected via
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
, 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 -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).
Note
•Use only cables for connections. cables are supplied
with Onkyo components.
• Some components have two jacks. You can connect either
one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting
additional -capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Connecting other
manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all functions. Refer to the
manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.
See “Recording” for details on recording (➔ page 36).
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.
