Connecting the z remote control cables
If your other components are made by ONKYO and those components are equipped with z connectors, you can control the z-
connected components with the supplied remote controller.
• The unit must be connected in the z system hookups for z control operations.
• Each component has two z 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 z system hookups.
• The illustration below is an example of a z hookup.
Note
• This is not an example of stacking the components.
What can you do with the other ONKYO components by connecting with an z remote control cables?
Combination use of the unit with the stereo cassette tape deck K-505X, CD recorder CDR-205X (not available in U.S. and Canada), or MD
recorder MD-105X (not available in U.S. and Canada) enables you to operate the following convenient functions.
• Remote control of the components
All the components 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 CDR-205X, you can operate timer playback only.)
(Refer to “Using the timer” on page 26.)
• CD dubbing
Simple CD dubbing using the CD recorder, MD 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, MD recorder, or stereo cassette tape deck sets the optimum recording level
to match that peak level. (Refer to CDR-205X, MD-105X, or K-505X instruction manual for details.)
• CD synchro recording
With the CD recorder, MD recorder, or stereo cassette tape deck in recording pause, starting CD playback causes these components to start
recording. (Refer to CDR-205X, MD-105X, or K-505X instruction manual for details.)
Note
• Make sure the unit and each component are firmly connected with the z remote control cable, audio connection cable, and optical fiber
cable. If the connection is incomplete, the above functions does not work.
