Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
CBX-300 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the CBX-300 is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the CBX-300’s remote control sensor.
Notes:
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the battery.
• When removing the battery holder, be careful that you
don’t damage your fingernail.
• Misuse of lithium batteries may cause a fire or chemical burn. Always keep out of reach of children. Never
disassemble, charge, heat above 100˚ C, or incinerate.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Installing the iPod Dock Adapters
About the iPod Dock Adapters
The supplied iPod dock adapters can be used with a wide
range of iPod models (4th Generation and photo) and
iPod mini, however, if the Apple iPod Universal Dock
Adapter that fits your iPod is available, it is recommended that you use it instead.
If you have a 5th Generation or later iPod or an iPod
nano, be sure to use the dock adapter that came with it.
The CBX-300 comes with two dock adapters. Each
adapter has a letter on the rear, A or B, as shown below,
so you can determine which iPod models it supports.
A
B
The following table shows which iPod models are supported by each adapter. Be sure to use the correct adapter
for your iPod.

Notes:
• Inserting your iPod into the CBX-300’s dock without
the appropriate adapter installed will damage the dock
connector. Even if the correct adapter is installed,
don’t rock your iPod forcibly while it’s inserted in the
dock, as this will also damage the dock connector.
• When you insert or remove your iPod, carefully move
it straight into or out of the dock at the same angle as
the dock connector.
Make sure the slot is at
the rear.
Removing the Dock Adapters
To remove the dock adapter, insert a small flathead
screwdriver into the slot, and lift it out, as shown below.

Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The CBX-300 won’t pick up any radio signals without
an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.
FM antenna jack
AM antenna push terminals
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
1
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Once the CBX-300 is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
1
the tabs into the base, as shown.
Connect both wires of the AM loop
2
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around.
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Push Insert wire Release
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
2
fix the FM antenna into position.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution:
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 17).
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
Once the CBX-300 is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the
CBX-300, power cord, and your TV.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 17).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
The adapter is not supplied with the CBX-300.
You'll need to purchase a push-type adapter.
Screw-on F-type plugs cannot be connected.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in
addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Connecting the Power Cord
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, complete and double-check all other connections.
•Turning on the CBX-300 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment
on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CBX-300 into a different branch circuit.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the CBX-300. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the CBX-300 and should not be used with any other equipment.
•Never disconnect the power cord from the CBX-300 while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so
may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the CBX-300.

AccuClock—Automatic Clock Setting (European models only)
For the AccuClock function to work properly, the CBX-300 must be able to receive RDS radio stations, which means
an FM antenna must be connected. Be sure to connect an FM antenna before plugging in the power cord (see pages 16
and 17).
The very first time you plug the power cord into a wall outlet, the AccuClock function automatically searches for an
RDS radio station that’s broadcasting CT (Clock Time) information and sets the clock accordingly. While the CT information is being received, “AccuClock…” appears dimly on the display, as shown. Note that it may take several minutes
to set the clock.
If the clock is set successfully, the day and time will be displayed brightly for 2 seconds, as shown.
The AccuClock function automatically updates the clock daily at 2 A.M., 3 A.M., and 2 P.M.
If for some reason the clock cannot be set automatically, see “Setting the Clock” on page 40.
