• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn’t conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the
DX-C390.
• The DX-C390 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.
• The DX-C390 supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• The DX-C390 does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, because you may damage the DX-C390.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custommade labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the
DX-C390 and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.
Discs Made on Personal Computers
Discs made on personal computers, including those of a
compatible format, may not work properly in the
DX-C390 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.
• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended, however,
variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files between 8 kbps and
320 kbps are supported. (Playing times may display
incorrectly.)
• 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 DX-C390 supports up to 499 MP3 files and up to
99 folders per disc. Files and folders in excess of this
cannot be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very complicated, the DX-C390 may not be
able to read or play all of the MP3 files on the disc.
• Disc names may contain up to 32 characters. File and
folder names may contain up to 64 characters.
• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
track 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 DX-C390 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 tracks, the audio session will be played regardless. See “MP3 Preferences” on page 24 for more
information.

DX-C390En.book Page 7 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 5:49 PM
Disc Notes
• The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1
and 2.3/2.4. Versions 2.2/2.5 and later are not supported. Normally, version 2.3/2.4 tags have priority
and will be displayed regardless of the ID3 VER 1
preference on page 24.
•For ID3 version 2 tags, information in the first 2,048
bytes at the beginning of the file are recognized. 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.
Notes:
•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.
• In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks .
—Continued
Handling Discs
•Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs
by the edge, as shown.
Underside
•Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
•For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound quality and should be
removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe
from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a
circular direction.
✔
•To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
•Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because
they may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or
near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
•Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.

Before Using the DX-C390
Installing the Remote Controller’s
Batteries
Remove the battery compartment cover,
1
as shown.
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6)
2
in accordance with the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment.
Replace the battery compartment cover.
3
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to
prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DX-C390’s
remote control sensor, as shown.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DX-C390 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing the DX-C390.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the DX-C390 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
DX-C390 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing the
DX-C390.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DX-C390’s remote control sensor.

Connecting the DX-C390
Audio Connections
• Read the manuals supplied with your other audio
equipment.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio connections.
The DX-C390 has analog and digital (coaxial and optical) audio outputs. The digital outputs offer the best
audio quality, so if your digital recorder or amp has a
digital input you should use it.
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
If your hi-fi amp or AV receiver doesn’t have a digital
input, use the supplied RCA/phono audio connecting
cable to connect the DX-C390’s ANALOG AUDIO
OUTPUTs to your amp’s analog CD inputs.
Notes:
• RCA/phono audio connecting cables are usually color
coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel inputs and outputs, and use white plugs to
connect left-channel inputs and outputs.
• Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
•To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.
Right!
Wrong!
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital
input, use a commercially available coaxial or optical
fiber digital audio cable to connect the DX-C390’s
COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
to your recorder.
You can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp
that has a digital input, for the best audio quality.
Notes:
•With MP3 tracks, the digital outputs only work if the
sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
• The OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT has a dust cap for keeping out dust and dirt when it’s not
in use. Remove the cap before
connecting an optical fiber cable.
Push the plug in all the way to
make a good connection. Keep the
dust cap in a safe place for future use.

Connections
With (Remote Interactive) you can control the
DX-C390 together with your other -compatible
Onkyo AV components. With some Onkyo AV receivers
you can use one remote controller to control all your
Onkyo components and use the following special
functions:
Auto Power On
If your DX-C390 is connected to an -compatible
Onkyo AV receiver, when you turn on the DX-C390, the
AV receiver will turn on and select the DX-C390 as the
input source.
Direct Change
If your DX-C390 is connected to an -compatible
Onkyo AV receiver, when you start playback on the
DX-C390, the AV receiver will select the DX-C390 as
the input source.
Auto Power Off
When you set an -compatible Onkyo AV receiver to
Standby, all other AV components connected via
enter Standby as well.
Dimmer
When you dim the display brightness on an -compatible Onkyo AV component, the displays on all other AV
components connected via are dimmed as well.
To use the functions, you need to connect one of the
DX-C390’s connectors to an connector on
another AV component in your system by using the supplied cable.
See the manuals supplied with your other -compatible AV components for more information.
Notes:
• Use only cables for connections.
• To use you must make an analog RCA/phono
connection between your DX-C390 and Onkyo AV
receiver even if they are connected digitally.
• The DX-C390 has two connectors. You can connect either one to your Onkyo AV receiver. The other
connector is for connecting additional -compatible
components.
• Connect the DX-C390’s connector to only Onkyo
AV components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s
AV components may cause them to malfunction.
• Some Onkyo -compatible AV components may
not support the special functions described here.
To use you must make an analog audio connection (RCA/phono)
between the DX-C390 and your other Onkyo equipment even if they are
connected digitally.

as explained on page 17 respectively.
You can also select tracks and folders
by using the number buttons (as
explained on page 18). In this case, the
item is added to the playlist once
you’ve entered the track number.
If you want to add all the MP3 tracks in
a folder, simply select that folder.
Notes:
• During memory playback, the total remaining time
will be the remaining time of the playlist. However, if
the total remaining time exceeds 99 minutes and 59
seconds, the playlist contains items from two or more
discs, or contains one or more MP3 tracks, the total
remaining time cannot be displayed and “--:--” will be
shown instead.
• If you specify a track or disc that does not exist, it will
be added to the playlist, but ignored during memory
playback.

MP3 Preferences
Setting the MP3 Preferences
This section explains how to set various preferences for
MP3 discs. Preferences are divided into two groups:
Basic and Extra.
You must use the buttons on the DX-C390 to set the MP3
preferences, not the remote controller.
1. Stop playback.
If the Memory function is on, turn it off.
2. Press and hold the STOP [ ] button until “SETTING” appears on the display (about 4 seconds).
3. Press the STOP [ ] button again.
“BASIC ITEMS” appears on the display.
4. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to select “BASIC
ITEMS” or “EXTRA ITEMS,” and then press
the STOP [ ] button.
5. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a setting for
the first preference, and then press the STOP [ ]
button.
The preference is set and the next preference
appears.
6. Repeat steps 5 to set the other preferences.
When all the preferences in the group have been set,
the previous display reappears.
If you want to cancel this procedure at anytime, press
the [STANDBY] button. The DX-C390 will enter
Standby mode.
Note:
Track and folder names are scrolled in Navigation mode
(page 17) regardless of the TRACK NAME and
FOLDER NAME preferences.
Extra Items
ID3 VER 1 (READ/NOT READ)
This preference determines whether or not version 1.0/
1.1 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT
READ, version 1.0/1.1 tags will not be displayed.
ID3 VER 2 (READ/NOT READ)
This preference determines whether or not version 2.3/
2.4 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT
READ, version 2.3/2.4 ID3 tags will not be displayed.
CD-EXTRA (AUDIO/MP3)
This preference applies to CD Extra discs and determines whether music in the audio session or MP3 tracks
in the data session are played.
JOLIET (USE SVD/ISO9660)
This preference applies to MP3 discs in Joliet format and
determines whether the DX-C390 reads the SVD data or
treats the disc as an ISO 9660 disc. Normally, this preference doesn’t need to be changed.
SVD (Supplementary Volume Descriptor) supports long
file and folder names and characters other than letters
and numbers. Some CD burning software refers to the
Joliet format as “Windows format.”
The Basic and Extra preferences are explained in the following sections. The settings available for each preference are shown in parenthesis, with the default setting on
the left.
Basic Items
DISC NAME (DISPLAY/NOT DISPLAY)
This preference determines whether or not the disc name
is displayed when an MP3 disc is read.
TRACK NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL)
This preference determines whether or not the track
name scrolls across the display when an MP3 track is
selected.
FOLDER NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL)
This preference determines whether or not the folder
name scrolls across the display when an MP3 folder is
selected.
BAD NAME (REPLACE/NOT REPLACE)
This preference determines whether or not track and
folder names that contain undisplayable characters are
replaced with “TRACK n” or “FOLDER n,” “n” being
the track or folder number. When set to NOT REPLACE,
displayable characters are displayed and underscores are
used in place of any undisplayable characters.
For ID3 tags, underscores are used in place of undisplayable characters regardless of this preference.
Initializing the MP3 Preferences
This section explains how to initialize the MP3 preferences to their default values.
You must use the buttons on the DX-C390 for this procedure, not the remote controller.
1. Stop playback.
If the Memory function is on, turn it off.
2. Press and hold the STOP [ ] button until “SETTING” appears on the display (about 4 seconds).
3. Press the [ ]/[ ] button.
“INITIALIZE” appears on the display.
4. Press the STOP [ ] button.
“CANCEL” appears on the display.
5. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to select “EXECUTE.”
If you want to cancel this procedure, select “CANCEL.”
6. Press the STOP [ ] button.
The MP3 preferences are initialized, “INITIALIZED” appears on the display, and then the
DX-C390 enters Standby mode.

Abnormal Behavior
The DX-C390 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 from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
