Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged-in in order to charge the back-up system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit was unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

PORTABLE CART WARNING
S3125A 
7.Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8.Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings, there should be free space of at least 5 cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
9.Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10.Power Sources –ÊThe appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11.Polarization – If the appliance is provided with a polarized plug having one blade wider than the other, please read the following information:
The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the polarization of the plug.

Precautions
1. Warranty Claim
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.
2. Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
3. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
Turning off the standby button does not shut off the power completely. So the power cord should be removed from the AC outlet when the unit is not used for a prolonged time.
4.Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
5.Location of this unit
Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner output.
6. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
7. Points to remember
If this unit is brought from a cold environment to a warm one or is in a cold room that is quickly heated, condensation may form on the pickup, preventing proper operation. In this case, remove the disc and leave the power ON for about one hour to remove the condensation.
When transporting this unit, be careful not to bump it.
DANGER:
INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCK FAILED OR DEFEATED. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
CAUTION:
THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME, THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.

Notes
•Locate the unit away from strong light, such as direct sunlight or inverted flourescent light, which can prevent proper operation of the remote contoroller.
•Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment that uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.
•Do not put any object (such as a book) on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed accidentally and drain the batteries.
•Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored or tinted glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.
•If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

Connect the MD-105TX to the MD (or TAPE) jacks of your amplifier.
2Connecting to the Digital Input Terminals (DIGITAL INPUT 1, 2)
You can perform digital recording on the MD105TX if a CD (Compact Disc) player or DAT (Digital Audio Tape) deck equipped with a digital (OPTICAL) output terminal is available. For digital recording, you need to connect the equipment to either DIGITAL INPUT 1 or 2 terminal using the supplied optical cable.
These terminals can also
be used for connecting an amplifier that is equipped
with a digital output terminal.
Note
•If you use DIGITAL INPUT 2 to connect an amplifier, you will be unable to utilize the full capabilities of the MD-105TX.
•If you attempt to perform digital recording using a digital input terminal that is not connected, “D.In Unlock” will appear.
•Terminal protection caps are attached to the DIGITAL INPUT terminals. Remove the cap for the terminal you wish to use when connecting the MD-105TX to digital equipment. Replace the caps if you are not using the DIGITAL INPUT terminals.

Connecting the (
) controller
If you are using other ONKYO components equipped with 
connectors, you can control these components using the amplifier's remote controller.
Before connecting
•The amplifier must be connected to the 
system hookups for 
control operation.
•Each component has two 
connectors. There is no difference between these connectors.
•The components may be connected in any order.
•Remote control operation is not possible if
only the 
remote control cable is connected to the 
connectors. Connect the audio connection cables correctly.
The illustration below is an 
hookup example. With these hookups, you can operate the CD Synchro Recording (see “CD/MD synchro recording” on page 9).
