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.

*

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.

Note:

• 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.)

• 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.

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 (32-320 kbps), with the sampling rate
of 32/44.1/48 kHz.

• Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32 kbps and
320 kbps 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 32 kbps and
192 kbps (32/44.1/48 kHz) are supported.

Disc Notes—Continued

Handling Discs

Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hole 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.

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/CD-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.

What can you do with u?

• Connecting an Onkyo RI Dock to the CD receiver with an u cable allows you to control the RI Dock with the CD

receiver’s remote controller. In addition, when playback is started on the RI Dock, the CD receiver will automatically
select it as the input source.

• To use u, you must connect the Onkyo RI Dock to the CD receiver with an u cable (If you connect the Onkyo RI

Dock to LINE IN, you also need to connect it with an analog audio cable.). On the RI Dock, set the RI MODE switch
to “HDD” or “HDD/DOCK”. See the RI Dock’s instruction manual for details.

• Set the CD receiver’s Input Display to “DOCK” (see page 30).

Connecting the Power Cord

Note:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and components.

• Turning on the CD receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment
on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CD receiver into a different branch circuit.

• Never disconnect the power cord from the CD receiver 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 CD receiver.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the CD receiver. The supplied power cord is designed
exclusively for use with the CD receiver and should not be used with any other equipment.

Connect the supplied power cord to the CD receiver’s AC INLET.

tone.

Bass, Treble

–3 to 0 to +3 in 1 steps. (The default value is 0.)

Balance

L7 to 0 to R7 in 1 steps. (The default value is 0.)

PM.Bass (Phase Matching Bass)

From the warm low notes produced by a cello to the
deep frequencies of electronic music, a good
compact audio system should be able to deliver
plenty of bass resonance.

While traditional enhancement systems effectively
boost low-frequency sound, they are often prone to
the effects of phase shifting, which can overwhelm
mid-range frequencies and muddy the sound. Our
Phase-Matching Bass Boost technology effectively
preserves mid-range clarity-allowing vocals and
strings to shine-while maintaining a smooth,
powerful bass response at all volume levels.

When the Phase Matching Bass function is on, the
S.Bass indicator appears on the display.

On
Off (default)

Note:

• If the PM.Bass function is set to “On”, “Direct”
function cannot be selected. You need to set the
