Connecting the remote control cables If your other components are made by ONKYO and those components are equipped with connectors, you can control the - connected components with the supplied remote controller. The unit must be connected in the system hookups for control operations. Each component has two connectors except for this unit. There is no difference between these connectors. The components may be connected in any order. The hookups on the previous page are necessary independently of the system hookups. The illustration below is an example of a hookup.

Note This is not an example of stacking the components.

What can you do with the other ONKYO components by connecting with an remote control cables?

Combination use of the unit with the stereo cassette tape deck or CD recorder, enables you to operate the following convenient functions.

Note that the available components may vary according to the area.

Remote control of the components The cassette tape deck can be operated using the supplied remote controller. (Refer to Using the remote controller on page 35.)

Program timer You can operate timer playback and recording using this unit. (With the CD recorder, you can operate timer playback only.) (Refer to Using the timer on page 26.)

CD dubbing Simple CD dubbing using the CD recorder or stereo cassette tape deck is possible with the pressing of a single button. The unit begins a search for the peak level and the CD recorder, or stereo cassette tape deck sets the optimum recording level to match that peak level. (Refer to Onkyo CDR, cassette deck component instruction manual for details.)

CD synchro recording With the CD recorder or stereo cassette tape deck in recording pause, starting CD playback causes these components to start recording. (Refer to Onkyo CDR, cassette deck component instruction manual for details.)

Note Make sure the unit and each component are firmly connected with the remote control cable, audio connection cable, and optical fiber

cable. If the connection is incomplete, the above functions does not work.
