ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. The appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided. There should

opening behind the appliance.
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

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 leadin wire to an antenna-discharge 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.

objects of any kind into the appliance
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the
appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
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 nor-
mally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls 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.

Never connect speakers as shown below, as
this will damage the CR-N1 or the speakers.
Attaching the wires
1. Push up the lever to open the terminal.
Make sure that the terminals are gripping
the bare wires, not the insulation.
A short between the positive and negative
speaker terminals may damage the CR-N1, so
make sure that the speaker cables are
attached securely to the speaker terminals
and that there is no chance of any bare wires
touching each other.
2. Insert the bare wires into the terminal.
3. Push down the lever to close the
terminal.

Getting connected
D-N1 speakers
Note that the D-N1 speakers are not supplied
with all models.
Location precautions
• The speaker cabinets are made from
wood, making them sensitive to extreme
temperatures and humidity.
• Do not put the speakers in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places,
such as near an air conditioner, bathroom,
or kitchen.

Using with a TV or computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically
sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion
when normal speakers are placed nearby. To
prevent this, the D-N1 speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,
however, discoloration may still be an issue,
in which case you should turn off the TV or
monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then
turn back on again. This normally activates
the degaussing function, which neutralizes
the magnetic field, thereby removes any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems
remain, try moving the speakers away from
the TV or monitor. Note that discoloration
may also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool in close proximity to the TV or
monitor.
When speakers are used close to a TV or
computer monitor, due to the noise caused
by the electromagnetic waves from the TV or
monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after the CR-N1 has been turned off.
To prevent this, position the speakers away
from the TV or computer monitor.
Operation precautions
The speakers have been designed to handle
the specified input power when used for
normal music reproduction. If any of the following abnormal signals are fed to the
speakers, even if the input power is within
the specified range, the speakers may be
damaged: noise produced when no FM station is tuned; the sound produced when fast
forwarding a cassette tape deck; high-frequency sounds generated by an oscillator,
electronic musical instrument, and so on;
oscillating amplifier signals; special test signals from audio test CDs, and so on; sounds
produced when connecting and disconnecting audio cables (always turn off the CR-N1
before connecting and disconnecting audio
cables); microphone feedback.
Since the tweeters use strong magnets, do
not place metal objects such as screwdrivers
near to them. Otherwise, the object may be
attracted towards the tweeter causing injury
or damage to the tweeter.

Getting connected
Removing the speaker grilles
The D-N1 speakers can be used either with or
without the grilles, which can be removed
and replaced as follows.
1. Hold the grille at the top using both
hands and pull it gently away from the
speaker to release the top two fasteners.
2. Hold the grille at the bottom using both
hands and pull it gently away from the
speaker to release the bottom two
fasteners.
3. To replace the grille, line up the top and
bottom fasteners and gently push the
grille onto the speaker.
Note:
Do not attempt to carry the speaker by holding only its grille. Carry the whole speaker.
There is a risk that the speaker will be
dropped if the grille separates from the cabinet.
Speaker care
Onkyo uses a very high quality polymer laminate covering to protect its wooden speaker
cabinets. To maintain their appearance, you
should periodically wipe them with a soft dry
cloth. Stubborn stains can be removed by
using a soft cloth dampened with water and
a mild detergent. Do not use furniture polish
or strong cleaning solutions. Dust and lint
can be removed from the speaker grilles by
using a soft brush, or a vacuum cleaner with
a brush attachment.

The CR-N1 USB interface supports “hot plugging,” so USB cables can be connected or disconnected even while your PC is on.
However, it’s recommended that you turn
down the CR-N1 volume beforehand.
Use only standard USB cables that support
high-speed transmission.
The following procedures and screen shots
are based on Windows Me. Additional screen
shots are provided where differences exist
between operating systems.
System requirements
• Windows-compatible PC with a Rev. 1.0
compatible USB port.
• Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 or later
operating system that supports USB.
See your computer manual or consult your

shown here due to PC specification and
operating system differences. In addition,
the type of USB Host Controller will be
different.
A letter X, exclamation point (!), or question mark (?) to the left of a USB device
name indicates that the USB device is not
functioning properly. For information on
how to correct this, see your computer
manual or consult your dealer.
Using USB
Connecting the CR-N1 (driver
installation)
1 Turn on your PC and wait until the Win-
dows startup is complete.
2 Connect the USB cable from the CR-N1
to a USB port on your PC.
The CR-N1’s USB indicator lights up. If the
USB indicator does not light, make sure
that the USB cable is connected correctly
between the CR-N1 and PC.
Note that it may take up to 10 seconds for
your PC to recognize the CR-N1. Do not
disconnect the CR-N1 during this time.
The first time the CR-N1 is connected to
your PC, Windows automatically detects
that a new hardware device has been
connected and proceeds to install the
necessary driver software. Follow the
prompts on-screen. You may need your
original Windows disc to complete the
installation.

USB cable from the CR-N1, reconnect it, and
then check again. If it’s still not recognized,
disconnect the USB cable again, and this
time delete the “Unknown device” from
the list, then reconnect the USB cable. If it’s
still not recognized, it’s possible that your
PC has become unstable, in which case you
should restart it, delete the “Unknown
device” from the list, then reconnect the
USB cable. If that doesn’t work, there may
be a problem with the USB port, in which
case you should consult your PC dealer.

antenna.
Locate the FM antenna as far away
as possible from any fluorescent
lights. See page 24.
Install an outdoor FM antenna. See
page 24.
Place the CR-N1 somewhere free
from vibration.
Memorize only available track
numbers.
Load the disc with the labeled side
facing forwards. See page 35.
Unload the disc and leave the CR-N1
for several hours until the
condensation has cleared.
Restart your PC.
Severe electrical interference may render the CR-N1’s microcomputer temporarily inoperable.
In this case you should unplug the CR-N1 for at least five seconds, and then reconnect it.
