1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
• 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.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
• 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.
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 detergent and
water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a
clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alco-
hol, or other chemical solvents, because they may
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
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.

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 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 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.

to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the
position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the
CD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
Once the CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the
position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.

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 17).
Thumbtacks, etc.
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

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 outdoorAM 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.
OutdoorAM 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.

Timer Examples
The following examples highlight some of the ways in
which you can use the timers.
The timers can be used with other Onkyo components
Timer 1: To wake up to your favorite radio station (pre-
set #1) every morning, set as follows:
that are connected to the CD receiver via
(see pages
Play➔FM 1➔Every➔Every Day➔On 7:00➔Off 7:30
If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select
“Days Set” instead of “Every Day” and specify
“MON–FRI.”
About the Timers
The various settings for the four programmable timers
are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see
page 53.
Timer 2: To record a one-off radio show (preset #2) to a
cassette deck this Sunday, set as follows:
Rec➔FM 2➔TAPE➔Once➔SUN➔On 21:00➔Off 22:00
Timer Types
(You need an

Timer 3: To record an FM radio show to a MiniDisc
recorder every day from Monday to Friday, set as fol-
lows:
Rec➔FM 1➔MD➔Every➔Days Set➔MON➔ FRI➔On
15:00➔Off 15:30
■ 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
cable.
You could use a Play timer to turn on the CD receiver
every morning, just like a radio alarm.
Timer Priority
■ Rec
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
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
timer to record your favorite radio show every day.
If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the earliest
start time has priority. For example:
cable. You could use a Rec
Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00
Timer 2: 8:00 – 10:00 (This timer has priority.)
Playback and Recording Components
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:
The playback component can be the CD receiver (AM,
FM, or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cas-
sette deck, etc) that’s connected to the CD receiver with
Timer 1: 0:00 – 1:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 1:00 – 2:00

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the CD receiver, look for a solution in this section.
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the CD receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.
To reset the CD receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down
the [ ] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button.“Clear”will appear on the display
and the CD receiver will enter Standby mode.
Note that resetting the CD receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.
Power
Can’t turn on the CD receiver.
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (see page 25).
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it in again.
The CD receiver turns off unexpectedly.
• If the sleep timer has been set and the TIMER indicator is shown on the display, the CD receiver will turn off auto-
matically after a specified period.
• When timed playback or recording finishes, the CD receiver automatically switches to Standby mode.
• If the STANDBY indicator is flashing, the built-in amplifier protection circuit has been activated. This can happen if
there’s a short between the positive and negative wires of a speaker cable.
Audio
There’s no sound.
• Make sure the correct input source is selected (see page 27).
• Make sure the CD receiver is not muted (see page 28).
• Make sure the speakers are connected correctly (see page 18).
• Check all connections and correct as necessary (see pages 16 to 25).
• While headphones are connected, the speakers output no sound (see page 27).
The sound quality is not good.
• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 18).
• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 19).
• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as that from a TV. Try moving any such devices
away from the CD receiver.
• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the CD receiver, such as a cellular phone that’s being
used to make a call, the CD receiver may output noise.
• The CD receiver’s precision drive mechanism may emit a faint hissing sound while reading discs during playback or
when searching for tracks. You may be able to hear this noise in extremely quiet environments.
Audio output is intermittent when the CD receiver is subjected to vibration.
• The CD receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration.
Headphone output is intermittent or there’s no sound.
• This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones’instruction manual for cleaning
information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.
Audio performance
• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD receiver has been turned on and had time
to warm up.
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so don’t do it.
CD Playback
Playback jumps.
• The CD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 15).
54
Troubleshooting—Continued
Can’t add tracks to the playlist for memory playback.
• Make sure there’s a disc in the CD receiver. Also, you can only add valid track numbers. For example, if the CD
contains 11 tracks, you cannot add track #12.
The disc will not play.
• Make sure the disc has been loaded correctly, with the label-side facing up.
• Check to see if the surface of the disc is dirty (see page 15).
• If condensation is suspected, turn on the CD receiver and leave it for 1 hour before playing any discs.
• Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable (see page 14).
It takes a long time for playback to start.
• It may take the CD receiver a while to read CDs that contain many tracks or files.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations, or
the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.
• Check the antenna connections (see page 16).
• Change the position of the antenna (see page 39).
• Move the CD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer.
• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.
• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.
• Try setting FM mode to mono (see page 39).
• When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.
• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 17).
If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected:
• If the preset stations are lost, preset them again (see pages 40, 41).
• The clock and timer settings will be lost. Set the clock and timers again (see pages 47, 48).
Can’t adjust the frequency of the radio.
• Use the Fast Reverse and Fast Forward [
]/[
] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 39).
RDS doesn’t work.
• The FM station you are tuned to doesn’t support RDS.
• Install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 17).
• Change the position or direction of your outdoor FM antenna (see pages 17, 39).
• Move the FM antenna as far away as possible from fluorescent lights (see page 39).
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work properly.
• Make sure the batteries have been installed with the correct polarity (+/–) (see page 5).
• Replace both batteries with new ones. (Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries.)
• The remote controller is too far away from the CD receiver, or there’s an obstacle between them (see page 5).
• The CD receiver’s remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light or sunlight).
• The CD receiver is located behind the glass doors of a audio rack or cabinet.
External Components
Interactive control with other Onkyo
-capable components is not working.
• Make sure the
cables and analog audio cables are connected correctly (see pages 19 to 25). Connecting only an
cable won’t work.
• Make sure the Input Display matches the type of device that you’ve connected to the CD receiver (see page 29).
• When recording an MP3 CD to an Onkyo recording component, recording will start without performing a peak search
when the [CD DUBBING] button is pressed on the recording component. This is not a malfunction.
55
Troubleshooting—Continued
No sound is heard from a connected component.
• Make sure the optical digital audio cable is not bent or damaged.
• On the external component, set the digital output format to PCM, as the CD receiver supports only PCM signals.
No sound is heard from your turntable.
• Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer.
Timers
Timer playback or recording doesn’t work.
• Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see page 47).
• Timed operation will fail if the CD receiver is on at the specified On time, so make sure it’s set to Standby (see
page 51).
• The timer may overlap with another timer. If you program several timers, make sure they don’t overlap (see page 49).
• If you press the [SLEEP] or [TIMER] button while a timed operation is in progress, the timer will be cancelled.
• Make sure the
• If you’re using an Onkyo component for timed playback or recording, you must set the Input Display to match that
component (see page 29).
The time is not displayed in Standby mode.
• Set the CD receiver so that the time is displayed in Standby mode (see page 48).
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.
