• 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 picture and sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

8. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high-

tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.

9. Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully: 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

conditioner 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.

Audio CD (Session 1), MP3 (Session 2)

CD-R/RW Compatibility

• The CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

• Make sure to use discs that have been finalized.

Discs Made on Personal Computers

Discs made on personal computers, including those of a compatible format, may not work properly in the CD receiver because of incorrect settings in the disc burning software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc burning software for additional compatibility information.

MP3 Compatibility

• MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo or Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode 2 XA Form 1.

• Folders can be up to eight levels deep.

• MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format with a sampling rate of between 8 kHz and 48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps (128 kbps recommended). Incompatible files cannot be played.

• Constant bit rate MP3 files are recommended, however, variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files between 8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times may not display correctly.)

• MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” file name extension. MP3 files without the proper extension will not be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunction, do not use these extensions for other types of files.

• The CD receiver supports up to 499 MP3 files and folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very complicated, the CD receiver may not be able to read or play all of the MP3 files on the disc.

• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 32 characters.

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

• The remaining time cannot be displayed when playing MP3 files.

• MP3 file and folder names (excluding the extension) are shown on the display.

• Multisession discs are supported, however, some multisession discs may take a long time to load and some may not load at all. When burning CDs, we recommend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once), and select “Disc Close”.

• Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD Extra disc is played. However, you can set the CD receiver so that it plays any MP3 files in the data session of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session contains no MP3 files, the audio session will be played regardless. See “Setting MP3 Preferences” on page 35 for more information.

• The Emphasis is not supported.

Disc Notes—Continued

• 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.

• For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized will be those embedded in the beginning of the file. We recommend that you include only title, artist name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Compressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be displayed.

Note:

With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain many files and folders and files other than MP3s, it may take a long time to read the disc. We recommend that you include only MP3 files on your discs, use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three levels deep.

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna, AM loop antenna, and DAB antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.

The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

AM ANTENNA push terminals FM ANTENNA jack

DAB antenna jack

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Once the CD receiver 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.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

fix the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM ANTENNA 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

Once the CD receiver 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 CD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

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 18).

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure yourself 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 18).

Using the Timers

The CD receiver has five timers: four programmable timers for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer for turning the CD receiver off after a specified period.

The timers can be used with other Onkyo components that are connected to the CD receiver via u (see pages 21 to 23 for hookup details).

About the Timers

The various settings for the four programmable timers are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see page 58.

Timer Types

Each timer can be programmed for playback (Play) or recording (Rec).

■ Play

Play mode can be used to start playback at a specified time on the CD receiver or another Onkyo component that’s connected to the CD receiver with an u cable. You could use a Play timer to turn on the CD receiver every morning, just like a radio alarm.

■ Rec

Rec mode can be used to start playback on one component and start recording on another component at a specified time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo cassette deck or MD recorder) must be connected to the CD receiver with an u cable. You could use a Rec timer to record your favorite radio show every day.

Playback and Recording Components

The playback component can be the CD receiver (AM, FM, DAB or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cassette deck, etc.) that’s connected to the CD receiver with an

of the CD receiver’s inputs, perhaps one with its own builtin timer. On the CR-525UKD, it is also possible to play MP3 and WMA files from a USB mass storage device that is connected to the USB port of the CR-525UKD. The recording component can be an Onkyo MD recorder or cassette deck that’s connected to the CD receiver with an u cable.

cable, or a component that’s connected to one

Timer Examples

The following examples highlight some of the ways in which you can use the timers.

Timer 1: To wake up to your favorite radio station

(preset #1) every morning, set as follows: Play

➔FM 1➔Every➔Every Day➔On ➔Off 7:30

7:00 If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays,

select “Days Set” instead of “Every Day” and specify “MON–FRI”.

Timer 2: To record a one-off radio show (preset #2) to

a cassette deck this Sunday, set as follows: Rec

➔FM 2➔TA PE ➔Once➔SUN➔On

➔Off 22:00

21:00 (You need an u-capable Onkyo cassette

recorder or MD recorder to do the recording.)

Timer 3: To record an FM radio show to a MiniDisc

recorder every day from Monday to Friday, set as follows:

Rec

➔FM 1➔MD➔Every➔Days Set➔MON➔

FRI➔On 15:00➔Off 15:30

Timer Priority

If two or more timers are set to the same On time, the lowest numbered timer has priority. For example:

Timer 1: 07:00 – 13:00 (This timer has priority.) Timer 2: 07:00 – 12:30

If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the earliest start time has priority. For example:

Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00 Timer 2: 8:00 – 10:00 (This timer has priority.)

If the On and Off times of two timers are the same, the timer with the earliest start time has priority and the other timer will fail. For example:

Timer 1: 0:00 – 1:00 (This timer has priority.) Timer 2: 1:00 – 2:00

Timer Indicators

Repeat Timers

Each timer can be programmed to work just once (Once), every week (Every), every day (Every Day), or on a range of days (Days Set).

■ Once

The timer will work just once.

■ Every

The timer will work every week on the specified day and time.

• Everyday

The timer will work every day.
