p 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 TX-DS494.
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.
• The RC-443S or RC-444M remote controller does not support
turntables.
• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can
use either one to connect to the TX-DS494. The other one can
be used to daisy chain with another component.
q AC OUTLETS
The TX-DS494 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting
the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied
through the TX-DS494. By doing this, you can use the
STANDBY/ON button on the TX-DS494 to turn on and off the
connected devices as well.
The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may differ
depending on the area of purchase.
Caution:
Make sure that the total capacity of the other components
connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed
on the rear panel (e.g., 120 watts).
7 AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 6 audio
inputs (3 of which are linked to video inputs) and 2 audio outputs
(1 of which are linked to a video output). The audio jacks are
nominally labeled for turntables, compact disc players, cassette
tape decks, and DVD players. To the audio jacks for VIDEO 1 and
2 connect the audio output from LD players, VCRs or other video
components. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA type
connectors.
• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure
you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to
VIDEO 1).
• The PHONO jacks are designed for use with turntables that
use moving magnet cartridges.
8 DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL)
These are the digital audio inputs. There are 2 digital inputs with
coaxial jacks and 1 with optical jacks. 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.
9 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 TX-DS494 to the peripheral device.
• Connect the video output to one of VIDEO IN connectors
(DVD, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2).
