Remote ID

 

When several Onkyo components are used in the same 
room, their remote ID codes may overlap. To differenti-
ate the AV receiver from the other components, you can 
change its remote ID from 1, the default, to 2 or 3.

 

Note:

 

• If you do change the AV receiver’s remote ID, be sure 

to change the remote controller to the same ID (see 
below), otherwise, you won’t be able to control it with 
the remote controller.
