Connections for remote control (z)

• Connect the plugs securely.

• Be sure to connect to the z connectors using the z cable.

• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must

also be connected.

• If a component has two z terminals, you can use either one to

connect to the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E. The other one can be
used to daisy chain with another component.

• (USA and Canadian models only) 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 z terminals (see page 36).

• Do not connect the AV Receiver’s  z connector to any

component other than an Onkyo product. It may cause
malfunction.

• Certain component models may not be able to control the

TX-SR500/TX-SR500E.

z 

Be sure to connect using
the audio connection
cable.

The z terminal on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is for connecting
other Onkyo components equipped with the same z terminal.
When a component is z-connected, you can point the remote
controller supplied with the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E at the sensor
on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E and operate that component without
having to switch remote controllers. In addition, by connecting
components to the z terminal, you can also perform the system
operation given below.

To connect components using the z terminal, simply connect a
z

 cable from this z terminal to the z terminal of the other

component. An z cable with a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) miniature two-
conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disk
player, MD recorderm, and DVD player that has an z terminal.

When the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is in the stansby state, if an z-
connected component is turned on, then the TX-SR500/
TX-SR500E also turns on and the input source selected at the
TX-SR500/TX-SR500E automatically switches to that component.

If the power cord for an z-connected component is connected to
the AC OUTLET on the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E, or if the
TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is turned on, this function will not work.

When the play button is pressed at an z-connected component,
the input source selected at the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E
automatically changes to that component.

When the TX-SR500/TX-SR500E is placed in the standby state, all
z

-connected components are also automatically put in the

standby state.

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-SR500/
TX-SR500E, switch the input selector from TAPE to MD (see page
23).
