Connecting a Onkyo DVD player
The following diagram illustrates how to connect an optional 
Onkyo DVD player. Connect the FR-N3X LINE IN jacks to 
the DVD player’s analog audio output jacks.
What does connecting an Onkyo DVD player using 
an 
 cable enable you to do?
• To operate the 
 system, you need to change the 
source name in the display to DVD (see page 65). (The 
default source name in the display is LINE.)
• You can operate an Onkyo DVD player using the supplied 
remote controller.
• When you start playing a DVD player, the unit input selec-
tor will automatically switch to the DVD player (DVD).
About the LINE jacks
In addition to the previous examples, a laser disc player, sat-
ellite broadcast tuner, or VCR may also be connected. Con-
nect the analog audio output jacks to the unit’s LINE using 
the audio connection cable.
Connecting an Onkyo compact 
disc recorder
The following diagram illustrates how to connect an optional 
Onkyo compact disc recorder. Connect the FR-N3X CDR/
TAPE OUT (REC) jacks to the disc recorder’s INPUT (REC) 
jacks. Connect the FR-N3X CDR/TAPE IN (PLAY) jacks to 
the disc recorder’s OUTPUT (PLAY) jacks.
About the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT connector
You can connect a CD or DAT recorder that has an optical 
digital audio input to the FR-N3X for digital recording. Use a 
standard optical fiber audio cable for connection. Digital 
recording is allowed only for the first generation. (See 
“Guide to the serial copy management system” on 
page 67.).
The 
 jack connection enables you to use the 
following functions:
• To operate the 
 system, the source name in the dis-
play should be CD-R. (Since the default source name in 
the display is CD-R, you do not need to change the set-
ting. See page 65 for further information.) 
• You can control a connected Onkyo compact disc 
recorder from the FR-N3X’s remote controller.
• When the connected Onkyo compact disc recorder plays 
back, the Input Selector on the FR-N3X is automatically 
switched to CD-R.
