What You Can Do with the CD/HDD Receiver—Continued

Handling the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

The HDD is very sensitive to physical shock, vibration, and dust.

The CD/HDD receiver is designed to protect the data safely from physical shock, vibration, and dust. However, pay
particular attention to the following points to prevent the recorded data from being lost.

• Do not apply physical shock.

• Do not move the CD/HDD receiver with power cord plugged.

• Do not use the CD/HDD receiver in vibratory or unstable place.

• Do not unplug or move the CD/HDD receiver during recording or playback.

• Do not attempt to replace the HDD or to add another one by yourself. A failure may occur.

• Do not install the CD/HDD receiver in a dusty place.

• Do not block any ventilation openings on the CD/HDD receiver. Heat may be built up, causing a failure.

• Do not use in a place with rapid temperature change (a change over 10°C per hour).
When there is the possibility of moisture condensation occurring, Onkyo recommend that you wait for approx.
one hour after turning the power on before using the CD/HDD receiver.

Advice on data backup

The HDD may fail even in normal use, for example, a sudden data loss or failure caused by electrical service interrup­tion. If the HDD fails for some reason, the data cannot be restored. Onkyo recommend that you backup the data stored
in the CD/HDD receiver to your personal computer or commercially available USB hard disk drive periodically.

When getting repaired

When the HDD gets repaired, the data in the HDD of the CD/HDD receiver, including music data, setting data, cannot
sometimes be reproduced. Before it gets repaired, note down the setting details preset in the CD/HDD receiver on paper.
Also be sure to backup the data stored in the CD/HDD receiver. Please note that Onkyo will not be responsible for
anything if the data should be erased or changed during the repair and normal use.

Hooking Up to the Internet

The CD/HDD receiver is network-ready, which means
you can hook it up to your home network with a standard
Internet and the Gracenote® music recognition service is
available. Gracenote
music CD database service constructed on servers
located on the Internet. See page 83 for details.

In addition, while the PC is accessing the CD/HDD
receiver, you can transfer the music files between the
CD/HDD receiver and your PC via FTP. See page 55 for
details.
The CD/HDD receiver is configured to automatically try
to access the Internet upon completion of the hook up. If
your connection is not successfully established, see
page 71. A contract with an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) is required to connect to the Internet. If you already
have a broadband internet connection there is no need to
take out another contract.

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

The CD/HDD receiver’s Ethernet port supports 10Base­T. For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet net­work is recommended. Because wireless connections
may be unreliable, wired connections are recommended.

®

music recognition service is

• The CD/HDD receiver does not support PPPoE settings,
so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you
must use a PPPoE-compatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy
server. If your computer is configured to use a proxy
server, use the same settings for the CD/HDD receiver
(

see page 72).

Connecting the CD/HDD receiver

To connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network,
plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the
CD/HDD receiver’s ETHERNET port, and plug the
other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
CD/HDD receiver to your home network. In this exam­ple, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has
a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

CD/HDD receiver

■ Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supply­ing IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev­eral networked computers to access the Internet simul­taneously via a single Internet connection.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices,
allowing them to configure themselves automatically.

• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom­mended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your
ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network.

■ Internet Access

A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem,
ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broad­band connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable
modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or
computer dealer if you’re unsure.

Notes:

• The CD/HDD receiver uses DHCP to configure its net­work settings automatically. If you want to configure
these settings manually,

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ™

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by
taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency
response moment-by-moment at any user-selected
volume setting. The result is bass response and tonal
balance that remains constant despite changes in
volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from
incoming source levels with actual output sound
levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a
loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ
works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well­balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

The list is displayed in the hierarchical structure of fold­ers (artist names and album names) and files (tracks).
You can copy and erase the music data when a folder or
file is selected. At this time, the folders or files displayed
in the list are the target of copying or erasing. When all
file/folder erase is executed by selecting the option “All
Erase”, all folders and files currently displayed in the list
will be erased. When “one file/folder erase” is executed
by selecting the option “1 Erase”, one folder or file
selected will be erased.

cannot be performed by selecting only artist or album.)
When you want to erase all files in the HDD, first select
“ALL” from Artist Category or Album Category to go to
the track list, and then erase all files by selecting the
option “All Erase”.
However, for the files created by Tuner Recording or
Line Recording, separately enter the Tuner recording
category or the Line recording category, and then erase
all files by selecting the option “All Erase” on the track
list.

Example: Deleting an album

Select an album, select an arbitrary track, and then exe­cute “all file erase” (All Erase).

Retrieving Audio CD Information

The CD/HDD receiver initially embeds the information
on approximately 350,000 albums among the CD data­base provided by Gracenote® music recognition ser­vice*.

When an audio CD is set, the CD information is auto­matically searched in the registered information. If infor­mation is not registered in the CD/HDD receiver for such
reasons as the CD is new, it can be searched through the
Internet. (Internet connection is required.)

* Gracenote® Music Recognition Service is music CD database

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and
many European FM radio stations use it these days.

The CD/HDD receiver supports and displays the Pro­gram Service Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT) types of
RDS data.

The RDS indicator appears on the display when the
CD/HDD receiver is tuned to an FM station that supports
RDS.

Notes:

may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

• The message “

Waiting…” may appear while the RT

data is being received.

12 AM and 8 DAB.

• Although AM and FM presets share the same
numbers, they’re selected independently. For
example, preset #1 will store an AM station when
the AM band is selected, and an FM station when
the FM band is selected.

• Stations can be stored to presets in any order. For
example, you could store preset #5 first, #1 sec­ond, and so on.

• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss

or damage to data stored on the iPod or USB device when
that device is used with the CD/HDD receiver. Onkyo
recommend that you back up your important music files
beforehand.

• To remove the USB devices, stop the playback and hold

down the [STOP] button until “NO USB” appears.

•

Playback may not be possible with some USB mass
storage devices.

USB Mass Storage Device Requirements

Advanced Setup

Network Configuration

When your computer cannot be connected to the Internet, or you want to set the IP address manually, set the following
network configuration. When setting it manually, input the values (alphanumeric characters) according to the setting of
your broadband router currently in use. The necessary setting items vary depending on the Internet Service Provider
(ISP). See the materials provided from your ISP for details.

Setting item Description Example

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Gateway Address
(Default gateway)

DNS Address
(DNS server address)
(primary)

Proxy

DHCP
(Dynamic host
configuration
protocol)

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification (logical
address) that is assigned to computers and network devices connected to
the network (TCP/IP network).

In computer networks based on the Internet protocol suite, a subnet is a
portion of the network
can be used to specify which portion of the IP address should be used as
the network number for the subnet.

A default gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as
an access point to another network. All internet traffic passes through the
gateway.
In homes, the gateway is usually the ISP-provided device that connects the
user to the Internet, such as a DSL or cable modem.

The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various information with
domain names. A DNS server is a special type of computer on the Internet
used to support the DNS. ISPs give their customers the public IP address
of the DNS server.

In computer networks, a proxy server acts an intermediate gateway
between you and your Internet connection. The proxy server sends the
requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. The proxy
server also provides network firewall, connection sharing, and caching
technology for private networks. A client connects to the proxy server,
requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other
resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the
resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service
on behalf of the client.

DHCP is a protocol used by networked devices (clients) to obtain the
parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network. ISPs
usually use DHCP so that customers can reduce system administration
workload and join the Internet with minimum effort.
In DHCP, a computer joins the network without having a pre-configured IP
address. IP addresses are uniquely assigned to devices, then released and
renewed these addresses as devices leave and re-join the network.

Precautions on DualDiscs

The CD/HDD receiver is designed to play discs in con­formity with the CD standards. The DualDisc is a two­sided disc made up of a DVD-standard-compatible side
and a music-specific side. However, the music-specific
side is not compatible with the CD standards, so it may
not be played with the CD/HDD receiver.
DualDisc is a trademark owned by the Recording Indus­try Association of America (RIAA).

Tip:

For the CD recording format, see the instruction manual
of your CD-R/RW drive or the disc burner.

Playback of Copy-protected Audio CDs

Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn't con­form to the CD standards. Since these are nonstandard
discs, they may not play properly in the CD/HDD
receiver.

73

Disc Notes—Continued

Handling Discs

• Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs
by the edge, as shown.

Underside

• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels, or write
letters even on the label side, much less on the under­side.

• Never scratch the CD surfaces.

Precautions on Rental Discs

Don't use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom­made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the CD/
HDD receiver and you may not be able to remove the
disc properly.

Storing Discs

• Don't store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or
near heat sources.

• Don't store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.

• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stack­ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.

Cleaning Discs

• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound quality and should be
removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe
from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a
circular direction.

✔

• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.

• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thin­ner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, as they
may damage the disc.

• Do not use each specified file extension for a file in a
different format. The CD/HDD receiver tries to play­back it and this may result in skipped playback, noises
or failure.

• In the following cases, the elapsed time of playback
may be different from the actual time.

- When a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) file is played

- When fast reverse or fast forward is performed

• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
file is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

• The remaining time cannot be displayed.

• The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1
and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Versions 2.5 and later are not sup­ported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have prior­ity and will be displayed.

folders per disc. Files and folders in excess of this can­not be played. Note that if the file and folder structure
is very complicated, the CD/HDD receiver may not be
able to read or play all of the files.

• With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain
many files and folders and files (not limited to music
files), it may take a long time to read the disc. Onkyo
recommend that you include only music files on your
discs, use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to
three levels deep.

• The Emphasis is not supported.

• Multisession discs are not supported.

■ Levels of Music Files and Playback Order

Albums (folders) or tracks recorded in a data CD or USB
storage device are recognized in hierarchical structure,
and played back in ascending order of 1 to 7 in the exam­ple below.
When an album contains sub albums, tracks in the sub
albums have priority for playback. (Example: Because
album B contains sub album C, track 3 will be played
after track 2 instead of track 6 or 7.)

Depending on the disc burner used during recording of
the music files, the tracks may not be played in the order
shown in the figure.

[ON/STANDBY] button, turn the [MULTI JOG] dial.

1

HOLD TURN

12

ON/STANDBY MULTI JOG

Power

Can’t turn on the CD/HDD receiver.

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (see page 22).

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it in again.

It takes a time to start after the power is turned on from standby mode.

• It may take approx. 30 seconds for the CD/HDD receiver to start because it shall obtain the IP address automatically
depending on the status of the CD/HDD receiver.

The CD/HDD receiver turns off unexpectedly.

• If the sleep timer has been set and the TIMER indicator is shown on the display, the CD/HDD receiver will turn off
automatically after a specified period (see page 67).

• When timed playback or recording finishes, the CD/HDD receiver automatically switches to Standby mode.

• If the STANDBY indicator is flashing, the built-in amplifier protection circuit has been activated. This can happen if
there’s a short between the positive and negative wires of a speaker cable.

2

Audio

There’s no sound.

• Make sure the speakers are connected correctly (see page 16).

• Make sure the CD/HDD receiver’s volume control is not set to minimum (see page 24).

• Make sure the correct input source is selected (see page 24).

• Make sure the CD/HDD receiver is not muted (see page 25).

• While headphones are connected, the speakers output no sound (see page 24).

The sound quality is not good.

• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 16).

• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 15).

• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as that from a TV. Try moving any such devices
away from the CD/HDD receiver.

• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the CD/HDD receiver, such as a cellular phone that’s
being used to make a call, the CD/HDD receiver may output noise.

• The CD/HDD receiver’s precision drive mechanism may emit a faint hissing sound while reading discs during play­back or when searching for tracks. You may be able to hear this noise in extremely quiet environments. With some
discs, the sound of disc rotation may become louder during recording.

77

Troubleshooting—Continued

Audio output is intermittent when the CD/HDD receiver is subjected to vibration.

• The CD/HDD receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration.

Headphone output is intermittent or there’s no sound.

• This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones’ instruction manual for cleaning
information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.

Audio performance

• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD/HDD receiver has been turned on and had
time to warm up.

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so don’t do it.

HDD Playback

Can’t play a track.

• Audio sound recorded in an incorrect format cannot be played (see page 75).

Can’t record a CD.

• Make sure the CD conforms to the official CD standard (see page 73).

• The CD/HDD receiver can record only audio CDs to the HDD.

• Make sure the disc is not damaged or dirty.

Can’t record files from USB storage device.

• Up to 10,000 tracks can be recorded at a time. Delete tracks in the USB storage device to 10,000 or less, and then
record them.

Can’t record to digital audio player.

• The CD/HDD receiver can record only to the digital audio player that conforms to the USB mass storage class.

• The CD/HDD receiver may not be recordable to some MP3 players.

CD Playback

Playback jumps.

• The CD/HDD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 74).

The disc will not play.

• Make sure the loaded disc is supportable by the CD/HDD receiver (see page 73).

• Make sure the disc has been loaded correctly, with the label-side facing up.

• Check to see if the surface of the disc is dirty (see page 74).

• If condensation is suspected, turn on the CD/HDD receiver and leave it for 1 hour before playing any discs.

• Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable (see page 73).

Can’t play tracks in the order recorded on a CD.

• Cancel the repeat and random playback (see page 31).

Can’t retrieve music file information.

• Music information of only audio CDs can be retrieved.

• For retrieving music information of audio CDs, Internet connection is required (see page 21).

• When the “Gracenote Service” is set to “Off”, you need to retrieve the music information manually.

It takes a long time for playback to start.

• It may take the CD/HDD receiver a while to read CDs that contain many tracks or files.

Can’t play music files.

• Use only ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, or Joliet compliant discs.

• MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3” filename extension are not recognized. AAC files without a “.m4a” or “.M4A”
filename extension are not recognized. WAVE files without a “.wav” or “.WAV” filename extension are not recog­nized. If the file extension is added to a file in a different format, the CD/HDD receiver tries to playback it and this
may result in skipped playback, noises or failure.

• The CD-R/CD-RW with music CD and music file mixed cannot be played (see page 73).

78

Troubleshooting—Continued

Playback of audio CD with copy protection function (copy control function)

Noise or skip occurs during playback / Disc is not recognized and “NO DISC” is displayed / First track
is not played / Music scan takes longer time than usual / Playback starts from halfway / Some parts
cannot be played / Playback stops halfway / Display error occurs

• The audio CD has a copy protection function (copy control function). Some audio CDs use copy protection that
doesn't conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the CD/
HDD receiver.

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all
stations, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

• Check the antenna connections (see page 17).

• Change the position of the antenna (see page 32).

• Move the CD/HDD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer.

• Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

• Try setting FM mode to mono (see page 39).

• When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.

• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 18).

If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected:

• If the preset stations are lost, preset them again (see page 37).

• The clock and timer settings will be lost. Set the clock and timers again (see page 65).

Can’t adjust the frequency of the radio.

• Use the Fast Reverse and Fast Forward [5]/[4] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 32).

RDS doesn’t work.

• The FM station you are tuned to doesn’t support RDS.

• Install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 18).

• Change the position or direction of your outdoor FM antenna (see page 18).

• Move the FM antenna as far away as possible from fluorescent lights (see page 32).

External Components

Can’t record to components connected to LINE 2 or LINE3.

• The CD/HDD receiver does not output signals from LINE 2 IN from LINE 2 OUT. In the same way, signals from
LINE 3 IN are not output from LINE 3 OUT. This protects the CD/HDD receiver from malfunction or failure due to
the loop between input and output.

• If Audyssey EQ™ is active, you cannot perform recording to an external component. Deactivate Audyssey EQ™ (see
page 26).

Interactive control with other Onkyo u-capable components is not working.

• Make sure the u cables and analog audio cables are connected correctly (see page 19). Connecting only an u
cable won’t work.

• Make sure the Input Display matches the type of device that you’ve connected to the CD/HDD receiver (see page 48).

No sound is heard from your turntable.

• Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer.

• If the turntable doesn’t have a phono equalizer built-in, you must provide one.

Record player cannot play.

• When a record player of MC cartridge type is used, a boosting transformer or head amplifier is required.

Troubleshooting—Continued

Timers

Timer playback or recording doesn’t work.

• Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see page 65).

• The timer may overlap with another timer. If you program several timers, make sure they don’t overlap (see page 67).

• The timer will not work when electrical service interruption occurs or the power cord is pulled out during the timer
is set.

• Shock or vibration may prevent the timer from operating normally. Use it in a steady location.

• Timed operation will fail if the CD/HDD receiver is on at the specified On time, so make sure it’s set to Standby
(see page 67).

Internet

Can’t connect to the Internet.

• Confirm the network setting. If you still cannot connect to the Internet after that, contact your internet service provider
(see page 71).

• Make sure the power of the broadband router is on.

• Try the DHCP settings manually (see page 72).

• Try setting the proxy server manually (see page 72).

• Set the broadband router again correctly. For settings, see the instruction manual of your broadband router or the
materials provided by your internet service provider.

• Connect the LAN cable correctly (see page 21).

• Make sure you do not connect directly to the modem without any router function.

• If your contract allows only one terminal that can be connected to the Internet at a time, you cannot connect a terminal
in addition to an existing terminal. Consult your telephone carriers or Internet service providers on your contract.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work properly.

• Make sure the batteries have been installed with the correct polarity (+/–) (see page 6).

• Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)

• The remote controller is too far away from the CD/HDD receiver, or there’s an obstacle between them (see page 6).

• The CD/HDD receiver’s remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light or
sunlight).

• The CD/HDD receiver is located behind the glass doors of a audio rack or cabinet.

USB Mass Storage Device Playback

Can’t access the music files on a USB mass storage device.

• Make sure that the USB indicator light is on. If the light is not on, make sure that it is connected correctly and that
the USB mass storage device is one that is supported (see page 44).

• The CD/HDD receiver supports USB mass storage devices that support the USB Mass Storage Class. However,
playback may not be possible with some USB mass storage devices even if they conform to the USB Mass Storage
Class.

• Check that the file format is FAT16 or FAT32.

• USB mass storage devices with an internal USB hub are not supported.

Can’t play music files.

• MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3” filename extension are not recognized.

• AAC files without a “.m4a” or “.M4A” filename extension are not recognized.

• WAVE files without a “.wav” or “.WAV” filename extension are not recognized.

Can’t play WMA files.

• WMA files without a “.wma” or “.WMA” filename extension are not recognized.

• The WMA file’s copyright option is on. Don’t use the copyright option.

When connected to the USB port, a USB device does not operate. (The message "Error19" appears.)

• First disconnect the USB device and turn the CD/HDD receiver off. When the AC power adapter is attached to the
USB device, connect the AC power adapter to the domestic power supply and connect the USB device to the CD/
HDD receiver again.

Troubleshooting—Continued

Others

Track number or playlist number is not displayed correctly.

• The number of tracks or the playlists is 1,000 or more, “- - -” is displayed.

Not operate normally.

• If the CD/HDD receiver is affected by static electricity or the like, it may operate abnormally. At this time, turn off
the power, wait for one minute, and then turn on the power again. If it still does not operate, reset the CD/HDD
receiver.

• When any warning message appears on the screen, follow the message.

When five-digit alphanumeric characters are displayed on the screen:

• The CD/HDD receiver has a self-diagnosis function to prevent a malfunction occurring, and displays five-digit alpha­numeric characters on the screen when this function is on. In this case, please notify the call center of the characters.

Precautions on RI dock connection

• When changing the Input Selector from DOCK (RI dock) to another, be sure to stop the iPod.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s
malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

Disposal and transporting the CD/HDD receiver

Delete all the tracks or data in the hard disk drive before you disposed of the CD/HDD receiver or transport it. When
you have set the network configuration, change the parameters beforehand. Please note that Onkyo will not be respon­sible for all possible damages and passive damages if the information should be tampered, leaked, changed, or disap­peared.

The CD/HDD receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event
that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it again.
