Connecting the power cords from other devices
The DTC-9.4 is equipped with AC mains outlets for connecting the
power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied
through the DTC-9.4. By doing this, you can leave the connected
device turned on and have the Standby/On button on the DTC-9.4
turn on and off the device together with the DTC-9.4.
Caution:
Make sure that the total capacity of the components connected to the
DTC-9.4 does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear
panel (TOTAL 120W).
RS232 port
The RS232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external
controller to control the operation of the DTC-9.4 by using an
external device.
Connections for remote control ( )
The terminal on the DTC-9.4 is for connecting other Integra/
Onkyo components equipped with the same
terminal. When a
component is connected to the
terminal, it can be operated by the
remote controller supplied with the DTC-9.4. In addition, when you
connect a component to the
terminal, you can also perform the
system operations given below.
Power on/ready function
When the DTC-9.4 is in the standby state, if an -connected
component is turned on, the DTC-9.4 also turns on and the input
source selected at the DTC-9.4 automatically switches to that
component.
Be aware that this function will not work if the power cord for the
-connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on the
DTC-9.4, or if the DTC-9.4 has already been turned on.
Direct change function
When the play button is pressed at an
-connected component, the
input source selected at the DTC-9.4 automatically changes to that
component.
Power off function
When the DTC-9.4 is placed in the standby state, all -connected
components are also automatically put into the standby state.
Also, if you press the ON button on the DTC-9.4 remote controller
while the DTC-9.4 is turned on, all
-connected components
(DVD players, CD players, MD recorders, tuners, etc.) are also
turned on.
To connect components using the
terminal, simply connect a
remote control cable from this terminal to the terminal of the
other component. An
remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-
mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape
deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that has an
terminal.
• When performing operations with
-connected components
using the system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2).
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must
also be connected.
• If a component has two
terminals, you can use either one to
connect to the DTC-9.4. The other one can be used to daisy chain
with another component.
• With Integra/Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-
program code so that you can operate the DVD player directly
with the remote controller without connecting the
terminals
(see page 75).
Note:
When you use a MD recorder, connect the recorder to the TAPE
terminals on the DTC-9.4. In this case, change the input source
display name of the DTC-9.4 from “TAPE” to “MD” (see page 30).
