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 user-

serviceable. 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. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

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 [STANDBY/ON] 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.

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 36 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 regardless of the ID3 VER 1 preference on page 36.

• 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.

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 19 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 55.

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 (FM, DAB or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cassette deck, etc) that’s connected to the CD receiver with an u cable, or a component that’s connected to one of the CD receiver’s inputs, perhaps one with its own builtin timer.

The recording component can be an Onkyo MD recorder or cassette deck that’s connected to the CD receiver with an u cable.

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.

• Days Set

The timer will work on the specified range of days. With this setting, you could set up a morning alarm for Monday to Friday.

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:

Set

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

When a timer has been set, the TIMER indicator and the number of the timer appear on the display. If the timer has been set to perform recording, an underscore character appears underneath the timer’s number.

Notes:

• The timers work only if the CD receiver is on Standby. If it’s on when a timer is supposed to start playback or recording, nothing will happen.

• While timed playback or recording is in progress, the timer’s Off time cannot be changed.

• To use timed playback or recording with an external component, make sure it’s properly connected to the CD receiver. Also, for u to work properly, make sure that the Input Display on the CD receiver is set to match the type of component you’ve connected to the MD/TAPE IN, DOCK/CDR IN, or OPTICAL DIGITAL IN (CR-725DAB only) (see page 28).

The sound quality is not good.

• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 17).

• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 18).

• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as that from a TV. Try moving any such devices away from the CD receiver.

• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the CD receiver, such as a cellular phone that’s being used to make a call, the CD receiver may output noise.

• The CD receiver’s precision drive mechanism may emit a faint hissing sound while reading discs during playback or when searching for tracks. You may be able to hear this noise in extremely quiet environments.

Audio output is intermittent when the CD receiver is subjected to vibration.

• The CD receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration.

Headphone output is intermittent or there’s no sound.

• This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones’ instruction manual for cleaning information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.

“Clear” will appear on the display and the CD receiver will enter Standby mode.

Troubleshooting—Continued

Audio performance

• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD receiver has been turned on and had time to warm up.

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so don’t do it.

CD Playback

Playback jumps.

• The CD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 14).

Can’t add tracks to the playlist for memory playback.

• Make sure there’s a disc in the CD receiver. Also, you can only add valid track numbers. For example, if the CD contains 11 tracks, you cannot add track #12.

The disc will not play.

• Make sure the disc has been loaded correctly, with the label-side facing up.

• Check to see if the surface of the disc is dirty (see page 14).

• If condensation is suspected, turn on the CD receiver and leave it for 1 hour before playing any discs.

• Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable (see page 13).

It takes a long time for playback to start.

• It may take the CD receiver a while to read CDs that contain many tracks or files.

Can’t play MP3 discs.

• Use only ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 format discs (see page 13).

• The disc has not been finalized. Finalize the disc.

• MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3” filename extension are not recognized.

Tune r

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations, or the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

• Check the antenna connections (see page 15).

• Change the position of the antenna (see page 38).

• Move the CD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer.

• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

• Try setting FM mode to mono (see page 38).

• Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 16).

If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected:

• If the preset stations are lost, preset them again (see pages 43, 44).

• The clock and timer settings will be lost. Set the clock and timers again (see pages 49, 50).

Can’t adjust the frequency of the radio.

• Use the Fast Reverse and Fast Forward [5]/[4] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 38).

RDS doesn’t work.

• The FM station you are tuned to doesn’t support RDS.

• Install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 16).

• Change the position or direction of your outdoor FM antenna (see pages 16, 38).

• Move the FM antenna as far away as possible from fluorescent lights (see page 38).

Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work properly.

• Make sure the batteries have been installed with the correct polarity (+/–) (see page 5).

• Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)

• The remote controller is too far away from the CD receiver, or there’s an obstacle between them (see page 11).

• The CD receiver’s remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light or sunlight).

• The CD receiver is located behind the glass doors of a audio rack or cabinet.

External Components

Interactive control with other Onkyo u-capable components is not working.

• Make sure the u cables and analog audio cables are connected correctly (see pages 19 to 23). Connecting only an u cable won’t work.

• Make sure the Input Display matches the type of device that you’ve connected to the CD receiver (see page 28).

• When recording an MP3 CD to an Onkyo recording component, recording will start without performing a peak search when the [CD DUBBING] button is pressed on the recording component. This is not a malfunction.

No sound is heard from a connected component.

• Make sure the optical digital audio cable is not bent or damaged. (CR-725DAB)

• On the external component, set the digital output format to PCM, as the CD receiver supports only PCM signals. (CR725DAB)

• Make sure the correct input source is selected (see page 26).

• Make sure the analog audio cable is connected correctly (see pages 19 to 24).

• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 18).

No sound is heard from your turntable.

• Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer.

• If the turntable doesn’t have a phono equalizer built-in, you must provide one.

Timers

Timer playback or recording doesn’t work.

• Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see pages 49, 50).

• Timed operation will fail if the CD receiver is on at the specified On time, so make sure it’s set to Standby (see page 53).

• The timer may overlap with another timer. If you program several timers, make sure they don’t overlap (see page 51).

• If you press the [SLEEP] or [TIMER] button while a timed operation is in progress, the timer will be cancelled.

• Make sure the u cables and analog audio cables are connected correctly (see pages 19 to 23).

• If you’re using an Onkyo component for timed playback or recording, you must set the Input Display to match that component (see page 28).

The time is not displayed in Standby mode.

• Set the CD receiver so that the time is displayed in Standby mode (see page 50).

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

The CD receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it again.
