should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow InstructionsAll operating and use instructions should
be followed.
5. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and
the like.
6. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and
to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains,
and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do not
place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventilation. If
you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm
(4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the
appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or
wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.
8. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifier) that produce heat.
9. Grounding or PolarizationThe appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
11. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
12. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care to avoid
injury from tip-over.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
13. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance
– this indicates a need for service.
15. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock.
The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases should be
placed on the appliance.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.
16. Batteries – Always consider the environmental issues and
follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio
components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram
above for the following connection examples.
IN/OUT (analog audio)
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven
audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio
inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
On the rear panel of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, there are one
coaxial digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital
output (TX-SR701/701E only), and one digital output. To the
digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or
other digital source component. To the digital outputs, connect MD
recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.
Since an analog connection must be made when using REC
OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input
source is not digital only, but analog as well.
When using an optical input or output jack, always use an
optical fiber cable.
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E.
Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack
and the right channel to the R jack.
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either
the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E depending on the
type of connector on the compact disc player.
With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the
CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack
(COAX).
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be
changed at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page 52).
Connecting your audio components
2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (TX-SR701/701E only)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable
to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E. Make sure that
you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right
channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-SR701/701E is designed for use with moving magnet
cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to
the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the
ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a
ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or
CD recorder (TAPE)
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/
601E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE
OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Make sure that
you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right
channels to the R jacks.
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN
COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E,
nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the
appropriate changes at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page
52).
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL
OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E for digital
recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E.
Note:
The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/
601/601E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jack.

Below is an example of how you can connect your video
components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram
above for the following connection examples.
Video signal will be output if you use any one of COMPONENT, S,
or composit terminals. However, you are recommended to match the
type of video terminals for connection between video devices (ex.
DVD player and VCR), TX-SR701/701E/601/601E and TV/monitor.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
For DVD players or other devices that have component video
connectors, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E has two banks of
component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct
component video input. TX-SR701/701E/601/601E also has one
bank of component video output connectors for direct component
video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or
other display device. By sending the pure component video signal
directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would
degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with
incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.
The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When
connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO
INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
VIDEO IN/OUT, S VIDEO IN/OUT
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are
four video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both
composite video and S video configurations.
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video
components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other
recording components to the video outputs to make video
recordings.
Connecting your video components
When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure
you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g.,
both to VIDEO 3).
The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.
The flow of the video signals is as follows:
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the
VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in
from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and
VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S
video connections.
Notes:
If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal
from the source component is input through the component
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input
from the component video connectors can only be output from
the component video connectors.
For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
jacks, see page 16.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers
The TX-SR701/701E/601/601E allows you to listen to two separate
input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example,
place speakers in two different rooms so that two or more people
can enjoy two different kinds of music at the same time. The room
where the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is actually located is referred
to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the
remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN terminal of the TX-
SR701/701E/601/601E allows you to control the TX-SR701/701E/
601/601E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller
even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagrams
below show how to make the proper connections for the remote
zone.
You can connect the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals.
When you connect the speakers to the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS
terminals, set the “Hardware Config” setting to “Zone 2.” In this
setting, while you use the remote zone (Zone 2), surround playback
will not be available for the main room (2ch stereo playback only).

Connections
The TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is equipped with AC mains outlets
for connecting the power cords from other devices so that their
power is supplied through the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. By doing
this, you can leave the connected device turned on and have the
STANDBY/ON button on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E turn on
and off the device together with the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E.
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-SR701/701E/601/601E does not exceed the capacity that is
printed on the rear panel (e.g., TOTAL 120W).
The terminal on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E 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-SR701/
701E/601/601E. 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-SR701/701E/601/601E is in the standby state, if an
-connected component is turned on, the TX-SR701/701E/601/
601E also turns on and the input source selected at the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E 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-
SR701/701E/601/601E, or if the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E 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-SR701/701E/601/601E
automatically changes to that component.
Power off function
When the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E 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-SR701/701E/601/601E
remote controller while the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E is turned on,

The Dimmer function (display brightness adjustment) of the TX-
SR701/701E/601/601E can be used to synchronize the display
brightness on the connected device using the connection.
Caution:
If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E, switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see
page 43).
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-SR701/701E/601/601E. 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 67).
