Precautions

1.Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.

2.AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.

3.Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit 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 unit 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.

4.Power WARNING

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

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

5.Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—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.

6.Preventing Hearing Loss Caution

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

7.Batteries and Heat Exposure Warning

Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or the like.

8.Handling Notes

If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.

If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

When you’ve finished using this unit, remove

all discs and turn off the power.

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

10.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, unplug the power cord and leave the unit for two to three hours in the room temperature.

This unit contains a semiconductor laser system and is classified as a “CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”. So, to use this model properly, read this Instruction Manual carefully. In case of any trouble, please contact the store where you purchased the unit.

To prevent being exposed to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure.

CAUTION:

CLASS 1M VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS. THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

The label on the right is applied on the rear panel.

1.This unit is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and employs a laser inside the cabinet.

2.To prevent the laser from being exposed, do not remove the cover. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

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

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

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

IMPORTANT

The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse in the plug.

Notes:

The remote controller may not work reliably if the CD receiver 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 CD receiver 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 may not work reliably if the CD receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the CD receiver’s remote

control sensor.

Disc Notes

Precautions for Playback

Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label surface can be used.

Do not use discs designed for purposes other than audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal noise could damage the speakers or amplifier.

A disc recorded on a personal computer may not play because of the application settings or environment. Record the disc with the proper format. (Contact the application maker for details.)

A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not playback properly.

*This CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Note that some discs may not playback because of the disc characteristics, scratches, contamination or the recording state. A disc recorded with an audio CD record will not playback unless it is finalized.

Never use discs which have a special shape (such as hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam and damage the CD receiver.

CD Playback with Copy-control Function

Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not comply with official CD standards. These are special discs and cannot be played with this CD receiver.

Playback of MP3 and WMA Discs

MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can be played with this CD receiver.

Use discs which have been recorded following the ISO9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported directory depth is eight levels, the same as ISO9660 Level 1)

Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system (HFS) cannot be played.

Up to 99 folders (including the root folder), and up to 499 folders (including root) and files can be recognized and played.

Always close the disc tray.

Notes:

A disc recorded with a recorder or personal computer may not play in some cases. (Cause: Disc’s characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on player’s lens, dew condensation, etc.)

Playback of MP3 Discs

Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “. mp3” are supported.

This CD receiver supports files recorded in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 (32-320kbps), with the sampling rate of 32/44.1/48kHz.

Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32kbps and 320kbps are supported. The time information during VBR playback may not display correctly.

Playback of WMA Discs

WMA stands for “Windows Media® Audio”, an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation USA.

Only WMA files with the extension “.WMA” or “.wma” are supported.

Encode the WMA file with an application approved by Microsoft Corporation USA. The file may not playback correct if encoded with an unapproved application.

Variable bitrates (VBR) between 64kbps and 160kbps (32/44.1/48kHz) are supported. The time information during VBR playback may not display correctly.

Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played back.

WMA Pro, Lossless and Voice are not supported.

* Windows Media is a registered trademark or trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or in other countries.

Handling Discs

Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hold and edge. Avoid touching the playback surface (surface with nothing printed on it).

Label surface (printed surface)

Playback surface

Do not attach paper or stickers, or write on the playback or label surface of the disc. Take care not to scratch or damage the disc.

Disc Notes—Continued

Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape, rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs with decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver.

Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.

Caring for Discs

If the disc is dirty, the CD receiver will have a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center outwards.

To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning spray for analog

records or antistatic agents, etc. Never use volatile chemicals such as benzine or paint thinner as they can

impregnate the disc surface.

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

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna (CR-545)

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

1Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna (CR-545)

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug (colored side) fully into the jack.

2Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

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 14).

2Connect the terminal of the AM loop antenna to the AM antenna jack, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna (CR-545)

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

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 Speakers

-Terminal posts-

Strip about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it’s touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.

Connect the right speaker to the CD receiver’s right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.

Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the CD receiver.

Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD receiver.

Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.

Connect only speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower impedance may damage the CD receiver.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the CD receiver.

Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
