2. Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
3. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
4. Location of this unit
Place this unit in a well-ventilated location. T ake special care to pro vide plenty of v entilation on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
A void damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibra­tions from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
Do not place near tuners or TV sets. If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner output.
5. Care

Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged-in in order to charge the back-up system. The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit was unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover by opening it as shown in the illustration.
2. Insert two AA (R6- or UM-3)-size batteries into the battery com­partment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the battery compartment.
3. After batteries are installed and seated correctly, replace the com­partment cover.
Notes:
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.
To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time.
Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from cor­rosion. If the remote controller doesn’t operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.
The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.
Using the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.
Notes:
Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.
Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference. Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller.
The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries. Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Plac-
ing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote con­troller operation.
If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
Playable Discs

Connecting to an audio system
Two types of output jacks are located on the rear panel. Use the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack if you are connecting the unit to audio equipment that supports a digital connection.
ANALOG OUTPUT jacks:
These are the most commonly used jacks. Connect these jacks to the amplifier’s CD input jacks using the supplied audio connection cable.
DIGITAL OUTPUT (optical output) jack:
For digital recording, connect this jack to the digital input jack of a Mini Disc recorder, a D AT deck, or other digital equipment. If your amplifier has a digital input jack, connecting the DIGITAL OUT­PUT jack to it will produce a much clearer and more dynamic sound.
Terminal protection cap is attached to the digital jack.
Remove the cap when connecting the unit to other digital equip­ment. When you are not using the digital output jack, replace the cap. Refer to the amplifier’s instruction manual for connections.
To wall outlet
Connecting a power cable
1. Connect the outlet plug on the included power cable to the AC INLET on the CDC-3.
2. Plug-in the other end of the cable to a wall AC outlet.
Note:
Do not use any power cable other than the included
cable. The included cable is designed for use only with the CDC-3. Do not use it for any other device.
Do not connect or disconnect the outlet plug from
the CDC-3 while the other end is plugged into the wall AC outlet.
Connections for remote controller ( )
When connecting Onkyo/Integra products, it is necessary to attach the cable to be able to use the remote controller of the main component to control the entire system.
1. To use this CD changer with an amplifier (or receiver), cassette tape deck, and tuner that include the appropriate jack, con­nect the components using the cable, plugged into the REMOTE CONTROL jacks.
2. As the exact connection sequence of the cable is unimpor­tant, you can connect from the amplifier (or receiver) to either the tuner, cassette tape deck, or compact disc changer.
3. To operate correctly, the remote controller must point toward the remote control sensor of the amplifier (or receiver).
Notes:
The upper and lower REMOTE CONTROL jacks have the same function. Remote controller operation is not possible when only the
cable is connected – the audio connection cables must also be connected. An cable equipped with a 3.5mm (1/8 in.) diameter minia-
ture two-conductor phone plug is included with this unit and with every tuner and cassette tape deck that utilizes the jack.

Press the RANDOM button on the unit or the remote contr oller to enter random mode.
The CD changer will play all tracks on all six discs at random.
To cancel random play, press the STOP or RANDOM button.
The unit stops when it completes playback of all tracks on all
discs. If you have pressed the REPEAT button, the unit will repeat play­back of all tracks at random after it finishes playing all tracks once.

DISC SKIP button, and the number buttons will be disabled.
Discs can be exchanged during random playback. However, if
you add a disc with a different number of tracks, all tracks will
be played back. A disc that contains the same number of tracks
will not play back track numbers that have already been played.
If a disc for which all tracks have been played is exchanged, the
new disc is not played.
Random mode can be operated together with memory mode and
repeat mode. However, if the whole disc is stored into memory
and the disc is selected, no other songs are played until the ran-
dom playback of tracks from this disc is completed. (Refer to
“Using memory functions” on page 13 for more information on
memory playback.)
