genres, composers) on your TV, and with the
supplied remote controller, you can control
your iPod from the comfort of your sofa. You

exclusive Onkyo control system that allows all
-capable Onkyo audio components to be
turned on or off together, and your amp to turn
on automatically and select the appropriate
input source when playback is started on a
source component. It also allows you to control
your iPod with your amp’s remote controller.
