Occasionally you should dust the CR-505 all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the CR-505 immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel lettering.

Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the CR-505’s rear panel (AC 230-240 V, 50 Hz).

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the CR-505. If you do not intend to use the CR-505 for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

Never Touch This Unit

Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

Installing This Unit

• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.

• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around

this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.

• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat sources, because its internal temperature may rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on top of, or directly above, a loudspeaker.

• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunction.

• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

with Wet Hands

Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully: When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside

on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.

• Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:

— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

place.

— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-

ditioner is hitting the unit.

— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an

air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

— The unit is used in a humid place.

• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of

moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit.

If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.

For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualiﬁed service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appara-

tus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IMPORTANT

A 3, 5 or 13 ampere fuse is ﬁtted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 3, 5 or 13 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.

If in any doubt, consult a qualiﬁed electrician.

Memory backup

The CR-505 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the CR-505 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.

Once it has been charged, the CR-505 will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and retention will be shorter in humid climates. The clock setting is not retained by the backup system.

Connecting Your Speakers

Before you connect your speakers, read the following:

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.

• Only use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the ampliﬁer at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative connections.

Doing so may damage the CD Receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the CD Receiver.

• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not both.
