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

 cables for 

 connections. An 

 

cable is supplied with each 

-compatible Onkyo 

DVD player.

• Some DVD players have two 

 sockets, you can 

connect either one to the TX-LR552. The other is for 
connecting additional 

-compatible components.

• Connect the TX-LR552’s 

 socket to only an 

Onkyo DVD player. Connecting to other manufac-
turer’s components may cause them to malfunction.

• Some DVD players may not support all 

 functions. 

Refer to the manual supplied with your DVD player.

 

Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of 

your speakers and AV components.

 

• Turning on the TX-LR552 may cause a momentary 

power surge that might interfere with other electrical 
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, 
plug the TX-LR552 into a different branch circuit.
