Connect the Onkyo components that have z connectors such as a
CD player, and cassette tape deck using the z  cables provided
with them. When these components are interconnected, they can be
controlled from the remote controller provided with the TX-DS494.

After connecting the z connectors, check the operation of the
remote controller buttons for use in controlling other components
(refer to page 30).

• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables

must also be connected.

• The RC-443S or RC-444M  remote controller does not support

turntables.

• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can

use either one to connect to the TX-DS494. The other one can
be used to daisy chain with another component.

The TX-DS494 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting
the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied
through the TX-DS494. By doing this, you can use the
STANDBY/ON button on the TX-DS494 to turn on and off the
connected devices as well.
The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may differ
depending on the area of purchase.

Make sure that the total capacity of the other components
connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed
on the rear panel (e.g., 120 watts).

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 6 audio
inputs (3 of which are linked to video inputs) and 2 audio outputs
(1 of which are linked to a video output). The audio jacks are
nominally labeled for turntables, compact disc players, cassette
tape decks, and DVD players. To the audio jacks for VIDEO 1 and
2 connect the audio output from LD players, VCRs or other video
components. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA type
connectors.

• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure

you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to
VIDEO 1).

• The PHONO jacks are designed for use with turntables that

use moving magnet cartridges.

8

These are the digital audio inputs. There are 2 digital inputs with
coaxial jacks and 1 with optical jacks. The inputs accept digital
audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital
source component.

• When using the optical input jack, remove the protective cap

and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the
protective cap.

• When using an optical input jack, always use an optical fiber

cable.

• When using the digital inputs, make sure to also connect the

analog connections whenever possible.

9

By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1
channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that can properly
connect the TX-DS494 to the peripheral device.

• Connect the video output to one of VIDEO IN connectors

(DVD, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2).
