11. Power Sources —The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization —The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to ﬁt, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power Cord Protection —Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14 . Outdoor Antenna Grounding —If an outside antenna

or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antennadischarge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning —For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16 .Power Lines —An outside antenna system should not

be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading —Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

20. Damage Requiring Service —Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those con-

trols that are covered by the operating instructions as

an improper adjustment of other controls may result

in damage and will often require extensive work by

a qualiﬁed technician to restore the appliance to its

normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in

performance – this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts —When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check —Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting —The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24. Heat —The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including ampliﬁers) that produce heat.

Memory backup

The CR-L5 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the CR-L5 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.

Once it has been charged, the CR-L5 will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and 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. 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.

• If you’re connecting two sets of speakers (i.e., speaker set A and speaker set B), the minimum impedance for each speaker is 8 Ω . If you’re connecting only one set of speakers (i.e., speaker set A or speaker set B), the minimum impedance for each speaker is 4 Ω . Don’t connect speakers with a lower impedance.

• 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 your CR-L5.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage your CR-L5.

• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair of speakers, don’t connect it to both the left and right speaker terminals.

You can use two sets of speakers with your CR-L5: speaker set A and speaker set B.

Speaker set A consists of front left and right speakers and a

subwoofer and should be installed in your main listening room.

Speaker set B consists of front left and right speakers and

can be installed in another room, such as a dining room or kitchen.

Strip 15 mm (5/8") of

15 mm (5/8")

insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the wire.

Screw the terminal tight.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

ANTENNA

Insert the plug fully into the socket.

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 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.

Once your CR-L5 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.

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 15).

Push Insert wire Release

Once your CR-L5 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 your CR-L5, 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 15).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

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

ANTENNA

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. See item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 of this manual.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor antenna

Insulated

AM loop antenna

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. See item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 of this manual.

Timers

About the Timers

The CR-L5 has four timers that you can use to automatically turn it on and off at certain times and on certain days of the week, so you can listen to, or record your favorite programs.

Timers can be used to start and stop playback (Play), or to start and stop radio or TV/LINE input recording (Rec) with an Onkyo cassette tape deck connected via .

Timers can be set for one-off use (Once), in which case the timer is reset once the task has been completed, for use on a certain day every week (Every), or for a range of days (e.g., Monday through 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: PLAY

➔

FM 1

7:30 If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select “Days

Set” instead of “Everyday” and specify “MON–FRI.”

Timer 2: To record a one-off radio program (preset #2) this

Sunday, set as follows: REC

➔

FM 2

➔

ONCE

(You need an Onkyo cassette tape deck to do the recording.)

Setting the Timers

The timers are set using the remote controller. You must set the clock (page 16) before you can set the tim-

ers. To use a timer to turn on the radio, you must preset some

radio stations ﬁrst (see page 22).

Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly to select Timer #1, #2, #3, or #4, and then press the [ENTER] button.

In this example, timer #1 has been selected.

Timer Overlap

If two or more timers are set to the same ON time, the timer with the lowest number has priority. For example, if Timer #1 and Timer #2 are both set to an ON time of 7:00, Timer #1 has priority and Timer #2 is ignored.

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

If the settings of two timers overlap, the earlier timer has priority.

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

Notes:

• The timers work only if the CR-L5 is in Standby mode. If the CR-L5 is on when a timer is supposed to start playback or recording, nothing will happen, so be sure to switch the CR-L5 to Standby mode.
