ONKYO TX-NR900 Instruction Manual

28

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

When the play button is pressed at an 

-connected component, the

input source selected at the TX-NR900/900E automatically changes to
that component.

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).
