Connecting the power cords from other devices
The TX-NR900/900E is equipped with AC mains outlets for
connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power is
supplied through the TX-NR900/900E. By doing this, you can leave
the connected device turned on and have the STANDBY/ON button
on the TX-NR900/900E turn on and off the device together with the
TX-NR900/900E.
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 components connected to the
TX-NR900/900E does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the
rear panel (e.g., TOTAL 120W).
RS 232 port
The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external
controller to control the operation of the TX-NR900/900E by using
an external device.
Connections for remote control ( )
The terminal on the TX-NR900/900E is for connecting other
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 TX-NR900/900E. 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 TX-NR900/900E is in the standby state, if an -
connected component is turned on, the TX-NR900/900E also turns
on and the input source selected at the TX-NR900/900E
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
TX-NR900/900E, or if the TX-NR900/900E has already been turned
on.
Direct change function
When the play button is pressed at an -connected component, the
input source selected at the TX-NR900/900E automatically changes to
that component.
Power off function
When the TX-NR900/900E 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 TX-NR900/900E remote
controller while the TX-NR900/900E 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 TX-NR900/900E. The other one can be used to
daisy chain with another component.
• With 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 70).
