Connecting to the ONKYO Separate Collection Series components This section introduces you to the other Separate Collection Series system components and their convenient system functions, followed by connecting instructions. The following Separate Collection Series components are commercially available: • C-701A .............. Compact Disc (CD) Player • MD-101A ........... Minidisc (MD) Recorder • CDR-201A ......... Audio CD Recorder Note that the available components may vary according to the area.
Arranging the system components Combination example 1 Select the CD player C-701A and CD recorder in addition to this unit. When you arrange these components, stack them as shown below. Vertical way stacking Horizontal way stacking This unit (R-801A) CD recorder (CDR-201A) CD recorder (CDR-201A) This unit (R-801A) CD player (C-701A) CD player (C-701A) Combination example 2 Select the CD player C-701A, CD recorder and MD recorder MD-101A in addition to this unit.
Connecting to the ONKYO Separate Collection Series components Connecting to the audio connector Before connecting • Do not connect the unit’s AC power cord (mains lead) to a wall outlet (the mains) until you have completed all the other connections, including and AC OUTLET connections on page 12 and “Connecting speaker systems” on page 16. • On each pair of connectors, a red connector (marked R) corresponds to the right channel, and a white connector (marked L) to the left channel.
Note: To connect both the MD recorder MD-101A and CD player C-701A to the unit: Connect the MD recorder to the unit following the “Connection for combination example.” The European model is shown in the following illustrations.

Connecting to the ONKYO Separate Collection Series components Connecting the connectors and AC OUTLETS Before connecting • The hookups on page 11 is needed in addition to the (for remote control operations) and AC OUTLET (for power supply to each component) hookups on this page. • Each component has two connectors. There is no difference between those connectors. The components may be connected in any order.
Connecting to components other than the Separate Collection Series Connecting audio/video equipment to audio connectors Before connecting • Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) to the wall outlet (the mains) until you have completed all the other connections including the sound processor connections on the next page, the connections on page 15, and the speaker connections on page 16.
Connecting to components other than the Separate Collection Series Connecting a subwoofer Before connecting • If your subwoofer isn’t equipped with an amplifier, connect a separate amplifier to the unit first, then connect the subwoofer to that amplifier. • The SUBWOOFER PRE OUT connector supplies the left and right mixed monaural signals to the subwoofer.
Connecting the remote control cables If your other components are made by ONKYO and those components are equipped with connectors, you can control the -connected components with the supplied remote controller. Before connecting • The unit must be connected in the system hookups for control operations. • Each component has two connectors. There is no difference between these connectors. • The components may be connected in any order.
Connecting speaker systems Connecting left and right speakers Before connecting • The load impedance of each speaker must be at least 4 ohms. • Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker cords. Otherwise, the DC resistance of the speaker cords may become too high, lowering the damping factor and causing the sound quality to deteriorate. • Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connectors at the same time and do not connect two or more speakers to the same speaker connectors.
Antenna connections Connecting the AM antenna Assembling the AM loop antenna Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration. Insert into the hole. Connecting the antenna cable 1. Press down the lever. 2. Insert the wire into the hole. 3. Release the lever to replace it. Connecting the AM loop antenna The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound.
Antenna connections Connecting the FM antenna FM indoor antenna The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. Move the antenna in various directions until the clearest signal is received.
