standard discs, they may not play properly in the CD  
receiver.  
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 play-  
back.  
The CD receiver supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.  
The CD receiver does not support disc types not listed.  
Dont use discs with an unusual shape, such as those  
shown below, because you may damage the CD  
receiver.  
Disc, le and folder names may contain up to 32 char-  
acters.  
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 les.  
MP3 le 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 les in the data ses-  
sion of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session  
contains no MP3 tracks, the audio session will be  
played regardless. See MP3 Preferenceson page 32  
for more information.  
Dont 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 Emphasis is not supported.

Disc Notes—Continued  
The following ID3 tags are supported: versions  
1.0/1.1 and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Versions 2.5 and later are not  
supported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have  
priority and will be displayed regardless of the ID3  
VER 1 preference on page 32.  
Handling Discs  
Never touch the underside of a disc.Always hold discs  
by the edge, as shown.  
For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized  
will be those embedded in the beginning of the le.  
We recommend that you include only title, artist  
name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Com-  
pressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags can-  
not be displayed.  
Underside  
Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.  
Notes:  
With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain  
many les and folders, and les other than MP3s, it  
may take a long time to read the disc. We recommend  
that you include only MP3 les on your discs, use  
about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three lev-  
els deep.  
Cleaning Discs  
• In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks.  
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.  
Also, folders (directories) are referred to as groups.  
Disc Content Organization

Connecting Antenna  
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 wont pick up any radio signals without  
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna  
to use the tuner.  
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna  
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use  
only.  
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting  
the tabs into the base, as shown.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from  
your CD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power  
cords.  
Thumbtacks, etc.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-  
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 15).  
Caution: Be careful that you dont injure yourself  
when using thumbtacks.  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied  
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-  
door FM antenna instead (see page 15).

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  
Insulated antenna cable  
AM loop antenna  
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 outside  
horizontally, 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.  
I Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
Its 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.

Placement  
The sound quality a speaker system reproduces varies  
greatly depending on room construction and area of the  
room in which it is installed, as well as the location and  
size of the furniture. For better-quality sound, observe  
the following precautions.  
Placing the speaker system directly on the oor can  
result in undesirable boom, that is, sound with  
extremely heavy bass. Place each speaker on a speaker  
stand, concrete blocks, bricks or a rigid bookshelf.  
High-quality bass sound cannot be obtained if the  
speakers are not seated on a stable speaker stand or  
other base.  
right and left speakers on both ends of the base. The  
ideal listening position is at or slightly to the rear of  
the triangle apex.  
Glazed doors or surrounding walls in front of the  
speaker system may resonate specic frequency  
ranges due to reected sound. To eliminate this reso-  
nance, place some sound-absorbing material, such as  
a thick curtain, in front of the doors or walls.  
Tips:  
The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is therefore  
sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity.Avoid  
placing the speakers in locations subject to direct sun-  
light, or in smoky or humid places.  
To obtain a deeper bass sound, mount the speakers on  
lower speaker stands and place them in front of a wall  
of sufcient rigidity.  
Place the unit on a rigid, level surface.  
In many rooms, the furniture and walls affect the  
reproduced sound quality. For stereo sound reproduc-  
tion, placing the right and left speakers in the same  
relative position produces the best results. If they are  
placed in extremely different positions, the right- and  
left- channel balance will be adversely affected.  
The ideal placement of the speaker system is as fol-  
lows: Imagine an equilateral triangle and position the

Troubleshooting  
Problems may be caused by any component connected to this unit. Please check the table below, cross-referenc-  
ing the instruction manuals for the other components.  
Power  
The power to the system is not turned on.  
Make sure that the power cable is plugged into the AC outlet.  
Unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, wait for 10 seconds or more, then plug the cable in again.  
The power is turned off during the operation.  
If the SLEEP indicator is lit on the display, the Sleep timer is functioning. Cancel the Sleep timer. (See page 48.)  
The CD receiver enters Standby mode after the timer playback or recording is complete. (See page 51.)  
If the STANDBY indicator is blinking on and off, the built-in protection circuit is activated. Be careful not to short  
the positive and negative wires.  
Audio  
The sound is not heard.  
Make sure the power cable is plugged into an AC outlet.  
Make sure that the speakers are connected correctly and the speaker cablescore wires touch only the speaker con-  
nectors. (See page 16.)  
Check to make sure that the volume level is not set to minimum. (See page 22.)  
Make sure that the input source is properly selected.  
Check to make sure the muting function is not engaged.  
If the MUTING indicator is ashing, the sound is muted. Cancel the muting function. (See page 23.)  
When the headphones are connected, the speakers do not output any sound. Disconnect the headphones.  
(See page 22.)  
Sound is not good.  
Make sure that the speaker cords are connected correctly. Check their polarity (+/). (See page 16.)  
Connect the analog audio cables rmly. (See page 17.)  
Sound quality could be affected by a strong magnetic eld, such as a TV set. Locate such a device far from the CD  
receiver.  
If you have any devices that emit high intensity radio waves near the CD receiver, such as a cellular phone in operation  
(calling), noise may be generated.  
The CD receiver uses a rotating unit whose precision instrument generates faint hissing sound while reading a disc  
during playing back or searching a track; you may hear it in a very quiet environment.  
Sound breaks off due to vibration.  
The CD receiver is designed for use as a stationary type; place it in a location with limited inuence of vibration.  
Headphones makes noise or no sound.  
There may be a bad contact. Clean the headphones terminal. For information on how to clean, see the instruction  
manual attached to the headphones. Otherwise, verify that the cord of the headphones is not broken or damaged.  
Sound Quality  
The sound quality becomes stable 10 to 30 minutes after the power is turned on. Using cable ties to bundle audio  
cables with speaker cables may degrade the audio performance, so dont do this.  
CD  
Sound skips.  
The unit absorbed some vibration, or the disc is scratched or dirty.  
Track numbers cannot be stored when setting MEMORY playback.  
Make sure that the disc has been loaded, and the track(s) you try to program are included on the disc.  
53  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Troubleshooting—Continued  
The disc will not play.  
Make sure that the disc has been loaded on the disc tray correctly. The disc should be inserted with the playback side  
facing down.  
Check to see if the discs surface is dirty.  
If condensation is suspected, wait for about one hour after you turn on the power to the unit before playing the disc.  
The CD-R/RW disc is nonstandard. See Disc Noteson page 12.  
It takes a long time until playback starts.  
It may take time for the CD receiver to load and read a CD that contains many tracks.  
Tuner  
Noise is heard during broadcast, or too much white noise is heard during an FM stereo broadcast.  
You cannot tune in the broadcast station using the Auto Preset function (for only FM stations).  
Or, the FM ST indicator does not light up during FM broadcast.  
Change the location of the antenna. (See page 37.)  
Locate the unit further from the TV or a computer.  
Cars or airplanes can create noisy interference.  
A broadcast radio signal may be weak if a concrete wall obstructs the signal path.  
Try setting FM mode to Monaural. (See page 38.)  
Noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller during AM reception.  
If nothing can improve the reception, install an outdoor antenna. (See page 15.)  
If power outage occurs or the power plug is disconnected:  
Memory is normally retained for two weeks. If the programmed preset channels are lost, program them again.  
The clock data is lost. Set the clock and timers again.  
Radio frequency is not adjustable.  
Press  
/
to adjust radio frequency.  
The RDS function does not work.  
The station is not an RDS station.  
Install an outdoor FM antenna. (See page 15.)  
Change the position or direction of the outdoor antenna.  
Move the antenna as far away as possible from uorescent lamps. (See page 37.)  
Remote Controller  
The remote controller does not function correctly.  
Make sure that the batteries have been installed in the correct direction (polarity +/). (See page 5.)  
Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)  
The distance between the remote controller and the unit may be too great, or there may be an object between them.  
The remote control sensor on the unit may be subjected to bright light (inverter uorescent light or sunlight).  
The unit is placed behind the tinted windows of an audio rack or entertainment center.  
Connection with External Devices  
Interoperability with other external Onkyo devices is not available.  
Make sure that the  
cable and analog audio cables are connected correctly (See pages 17-20). Connecting only an  
cable wont work.  
Specify the source name in the display for the external Onkyo device. (See page 20.)  
If any Onkyo recording device is combined to allow MP3 dubbing on CD, recording will start without performing  
peak search when the CD DUBBING button is pressed on the connected recording device.  
This is not a malfunction.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
No sound is heard from the connected device.  
Make sure that the optical digital cable is not bent or damaged.  
Set the digital output to PCM, because the CD receiver supports only PCM signals.  
The turntable sounds still.  
Make sure the turntable has a built in phono equalizer.  
If the turntable has no phono equalizer built in, you must provide one separately.  
Timer Function  
Timer playback or recording does not work.  
The clock should be set correctly.  
If the clock is not set, playback or recording does not work. Make sure you program the current time. (See page 44.)  
Timer operation is not activated if the power to the unit is turned on before the timer On time. Be sure to place the  
unit in Standby mode before timer operation starts. (See page 51.)  
Programmed time may overlap with another timer. Be sure to set multiple timers such that time ranges do not overlap.  
(See page 47.)  
If you try to set the Sleep timer or press TIMER during timer operation, the current timer setting is cancelled.  
The timer operation uses the volume level that was set before the unit was placed in Standby mode. Set an appropriate  
volume level before you place the unit in Standby mode. (See page 51.)  
Make sure that the  
cable and analog audio cables are connected correctly.  
If you selected an external Onkyo CD recorder for the timer operation, you must specify the source name.  
(See page 20.)  
Time display is not visible during Standby mode.  
Turn the current time display on while the unit is in Standby mode. (See page 46.)  
The Colors of the TV Picture Bleed.  
Locate the speakers far from the TV.  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by units mal-  
function.  
Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.  
This product uses a microcomputer to perform various advanced functions. However, noise, radio interference, or  
static electricity could occasionally cause the unit to malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cable from the AC  
outlet, then plug it in again in ve seconds.
