7 Connecting audio recording equipment
Connect your audio recording equipment to the TAPE-1/2 OUT (REC)
jacks.
Digital recording is not possible, even if a DAT deck or MD recorder is
connected.
If you have a 3-head cassette tape deck
Connect it to the TAPE-2 IN jacks. This allows you to monitor the
sound being recorded.
If you have a graphic equalizer
Connect the graphic equalizer to the TAPE-2 IN jacks and the recorder to
the equalizer. If you do so, you can use the TAPE-2 Monitor function to
monitor the sound processed by the equalizer during recording.
CAUTION:
Do not select a Surround mode when using the equalizer. This will result
in distortion and possible damage to the Surround decoder circuitry.

8 Connecting the z remote control cables
An Onkyo cassette tape deck, CD player or DVD player equipped with
an z jack can be connected to the TX-DS656 via the remote control
cable supplied with the unit. Once connected, it can be operated by
using the receiver's remote controller.
Note:
• Connect the remote control cable to the black jack with the z
mark; never connect it to the jack with the
mark.
• For playback and recording, the unit also must be connected via
audio connection cables.
• Do not use the z REMOTE CONTROL jack to connect products
not bearing z symbol. Doing so may result in the failure of the
equipment.
• You cannot operate turntables and MD recorders by remote controller
even if they are Onkyo z compatible.
