Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat
sources, because its internal temperature may
rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject
to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the
unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its
side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause
a malfunction.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,
the picture and sound quality may be affected. If
this occurs, move this unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-
tering.
8. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high-
tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical
pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty
or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To
maintain the best picture quality, we recommend
regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact
your Onkyo dealer for details.
4. Power

Insert two batteries (R6/AA) into the bat-
tery compartment.
2
Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the battery
compartment.
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the CD
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun-
light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in
mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the CD receiver is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-
ler may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the CD
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the CD receiver’s remote con-
trol sensor.
After the batteries are installed and
seated correctly, attach the compartment
cover.

• 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

ever, variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files between
8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times
may not display correctly.)
• 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 CD receiver supports up to 499 MP3 files and
folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be
played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very
complicated, the CD receiver may not be able to read
or play all of the MP3 files on the disc.
Audio CD (Session 1),
MP3 (Session 2)
CD Extra
• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn’t con-
form to the official CD standard. Since these are non-
standard discs, they may not play properly in the CD
receiver.
• The CD receiver supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• The CD receiver does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, as you may damage the CD receiver.
• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 32 char-
acters.
• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
file is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom-
made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the CD
receiver and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.
• 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 mul-
tisession discs may take a long time to load and some
may not load at all. When burning CDs, we recom-
mend 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 CD receiver
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 files, the audio session will be played regardless.
CD-R/RW Compatibility
• The CD receiver 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.
• Make sure to use discs that have been finalized.
• The Emphasis is not supported.

name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Com-
pressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags can-
not be displayed.
Underside
Note:
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 fold-
ers, and limit folder nesting to three levels deep.
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.

Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
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
AM loop antenna
Insulated antenna cable
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon-
tally outside, 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.
• 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 possi-
ble 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 haz-
ards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.

Using the Timers
The CD receiver has five timers: four programmable tim-
ers for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer
for turning the CD receiver off after a specified period.
The timers can be used with other Onkyo components
that are connected to the CD receiver via u (see pages
21 to 23 for hookup details).
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➔Every➔Every Day➔On
7:00➔Off 7:30
About the Timers
The various settings for the four programmable timers
are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see
If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays,
select “Days Set” instead of “Every Day” and
specify “MON–FRI”.
Timer 2: To record a one-off radio show (preset #2) to
Timer Types
a cassette deck this Sunday, set as follows:
Rec➔FM 2➔TAPE➔Once➔SUN➔On
21:00➔Off 22:00
Each timer can be programmed for playback (Play) or
recording (Rec).
(You need an u-capable Onkyo cassette
recorder or MD recorder to do the recording.)
Timer 3: To record an FM radio show to a MiniDisc
recorder every day from Monday to Friday,
set as follows:
■ Play
Play mode can be used to start playback at a specified
time on the CD receiver or another Onkyo component
that’s connected to the CD receiver with an u cable.
You could use a Play timer to turn on the CD receiver
every morning, just like a radio alarm.
Rec➔FM 1➔MD➔Every➔Days Set➔MON➔
FRI➔On 15:00➔Off 15:30
■ Rec
Rec mode can be used to start playback on one compo-
nent and start recording on another component at a spec-
ified time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo
cassette deck or MD recorder) must be connected to the
CD receiver with an u cable. You could use a Rec
timer to record your favorite radio show every day.
Timer Priority
If two or more timers are set to the same On time, the
lowest numbered timer has priority. For example:
Timer 1: 07:00 – 13:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 07:00 – 12:30
If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the earliest
start time has priority. For example:
Playback and Recording Components
The playback component can be the CD receiver (AM,
FM, or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cassette
Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00
deck, etc.) that’s connected to the CD receiver with an
u
Timer 2: 8:00 – 10:00 (This timer has priority.)
If the On and Off times of two timers are the same, the
timer with the earliest start time has priority and the
other timer will fail. For example:
cable, or a component that’s connected to one of the CD
receiver’s inputs, perhaps one with its own built-in timer.
On the CR-525, it is also possible to play MP3 and
WMA files from a USB mass storage device that is con-
nected to the USB port of the CR-525.
Timer 1: 0:00 – 1:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 1:00 – 2:00
The recording component can be an Onkyo MD recorder
or cassette deck that’s connected to the CD receiver with
an u cable.
Timer Indicators
When a timer has been set, the TIMER indica-
tor and the number of the timer appear on the
display. If the timer has been set to perform
recording, an underscore character appears
underneath the timer’s number.
Repeat Timers
Each timer can be programmed to work just once
(Once), every week (Every), every day (Every Day), or
on a range of days (Days Set).
■ Once
The timer will work just once.
Notes:
• The timers work only if the CD receiver is on Standby.
If it’s on when a timer is supposed to start playback or
recording, nothing will happen.
• While timed playback or recording is in progress, the
timer’s Off time cannot be changed.
• To use timed playback or recording with an external
component, make sure it’s properly connected to the
CD receiver. Also, for u to work properly, make
sure that the Input Display on the CD receiver is set to
match the type of component you’ve connected to the
■ Every

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s
malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
The CD receiver 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, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it again.
