Thank you for purchasing ...

Thank you for purchasing the ONKYO MD-105X MD Recorder.

Please read this manual thoroughly before making connections and plugging in the unit.

Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain the optimum performance and listening enjoyment from your new MD-105X.

Please retain this manual for future reference.

Main Features

• 24-Bit A/D and D/A Converters • Digital Rec Level Adjustment

• Rec Volume Control for Analog and Digital Inputs

• Album Dubbing and Fade Out Control • Unique "Dub It" Feature

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.

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.

Precautions(continued)

For U.S. model

The laser is covered by a housing which prevents exposure d uring operation or maintenance. However, this product is classified as a Laser Product by CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) which is a department of the Food and Drug Administration. According to their regulations 21 CFR section 1002.30, all manufactures who sell Laser Products must maintain records of written communications between the manufacturer, dealers and customers concerning radiation safety. If you have any complaints about instructions or explanations affecting the use of this product, please feel free to write to the address on the back page of this manual. When you write us, please include the model number and serial number of your unit.

In compliance with Federal Regulations, the certification, identification and the period of manufacture are indicated on the rear panel.

For British model

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

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 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps 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 AMP SOCKET.

If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

Terminals (DIGITAL INPUT 1, 2)

You can perform digital recording on the MD105X if a CD (Compact Disc) player or DAT (Digital Audio Tapedeck) 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 which is equipped with a digital output terminal.

Terminal protection caps are attached to the DIGITAL INPUT terminals. Remove the cap for the terminal you wish to use when connecting the MD-105X to digital equipment. Replace the caps if you are not using the DIGITAL INPUT terminals.

3Connection to AC outlet (UNSWITCHED)

The power cord of another unit can be connected to this outlet.

Note

The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may differ depending on the area where the unit is purchased.

230 V, 50 Hz model: Capacity is 100 W in total. 120 V, 60 Hz model: Capacity is 120 W in total.

Note

If the DIGITAL INPUT 2 is used for connecting the amplifier, you cannot use the full capability of the MD-105X.

If you attempt to perform digital recording using a digital input terminal which is not connected, “D.In Unlock” will appear.
