Connecting  

Components

Connecting the A-9377 to your other Onkyo 

-capa-

ble components with 

 cables allows you to control 

them all with the A-9377’s remote controller, like an 
integrated system, with the following functionality.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected 
with 

, the A-9377 will automatically select that 

component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can control components connected with 

 from 

the A-9377’s remote controller. See page 9 for details.

To use all 

 functionality, in addition to an 

 con-

nection, each component must be connected to an 
analog audio input on the A-9377.

Notes:

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections.

 cables are special cables solely for use with 

Onkyo products (no 

 cables are supplied with the 

A-9377). Use only 

 cables for 

 connections.

• Connect 

 jacks to only 

-capable Onkyo compo-

nents. Connecting them to other manufacturers’ com-
ponent may cause a malfunction.

• Some 

-capable Onkyo components may not sup-

port all 

 functionality. Refer to each component’s 

instruction manual for full details.

Connecting the Power Cords of Other 
Components

The A-9377 has switched AC outlets on its rear panel 
that can be used to connect the power cords of other 
components that you intend to use with the A-9377. 
These components can then be left turned on so that 
they turn on and off as and when the A-9377 is turned 
on and off. 
Use the AC outlets for components that have no Standby 
function, such as the Onkyo CD Player. 

-capable 

Onkyo components with a Standby function must be 
connected directly to a wall outlet.

Cautions:

• Connect only audio components to the AC OUT-

LETS.

• Make sure the total capacity of the components you 

connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the 
maximum capacity stated on the A-9377’s rear panel 
(TOTAL 100 W).

Connecting the A-9377’s Power Cord

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your 

speakers and audio components.

• Turning on the A-9377 may cause a momentary power 

surge, which might interfere with other electrical 
equipment on the same circuit. If this is an issue, plug 
the A-9377 into a different branch circuit.

For optimum performance, plug the A-9377 into its own 
wall outlet. Do not connect it to a wall outlet that’s also 
used by a high-power appliance, such as a heater.

Onkyo CD player, 
Onkyo cassete deck, 
Onkyo tuner, etc.
