Disc Notes  
Precautions for Playback  
• A disc recorded on a personal computer may not  
play because of the application settings or  
environment. Record the disc with the proper  
format. (Contact the application maker for  
details.)  
• A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not  
playback properly.  
Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the  
label surface can be used.  
Do not use discs designed for purposes other than  
audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal  
noise could damage the speakers or amplifier.  
Playback of MP3 Discs  
Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “.  
mp3” are supported.  
This CD receiver supports files recorded in  
MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 (32-320kbps), with the  
sampling rate of 32/44.1/48kHz.  
* This CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW  
discs.  
Note that some discs may not playback because  
of the disc characteristics, scratches,  
contamination or the recording state. A disc  
recorded with an audio CD record will not  
playback unless it is finalized.  
Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32kbps and  
320kbps are supported. The time information  
during VBR playback may not display correctly.  
Playback of WMA Discs  
Never use discs which have a special shape (such as  
hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam  
and damage the CD receiver.  
WMA stands for “Windows Media® Audio”, an  
audio compression technology developed by  
Microsoft Corporation USA.  
Only WMA files with the extension “.WMA” or  
“.wma” are supported.  
Encode the WMA file with an application  
approved by Microsoft Corporation USA. The  
file may not playback correct if encoded with an  
unapproved application.  
Variable bitrates (VBR) between 64kbps and  
160kbps (32/44.1/48kHz) are supported. The  
time information during VBR playback may not  
display correctly.  
Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played  
back.  
WMA Pro, Lossless and Voice are not supported.  
CD Playback with Copy-control Function  
Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not  
comply with official CD standards. These are special  
discs and cannot be played with this CD receiver.  
Playback of MP3 and WMA Discs  
MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW  
can be played with this CD receiver.  
* Windows Media is a registered trademark or  
trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United  
States and/or in other countries.  
Use discs which have been recorded following  
the ISO9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported  
directory depth is eight levels, the same as  
ISO9660 Level 1)  
Handling Discs  
Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system  
(HFS) cannot be played.  
Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hold and  
edge. Avoid touching the playback surface (surface  
with nothing printed on it).  
Up to 99 folders (including the root folder), and  
up to 499 folders (including root) and files can be  
recognized and played.  
Label surface  
(printed surface)  
Always close the disc tray.  
Notes:  
• A disc recorded with a recorder or personal  
computer may not play in some cases. (Cause:  
Disc’s characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt  
on player’s lens, dew condensation, etc.)  
Playback surface  
Do not attach paper or stickers, or write on the  
playback or label surface of the disc. Take care not to  
scratch or damage the disc.

Disc Notes—Continued  
Precautions for Rental Discs  
Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape,  
rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs  
with decorative labels. This type of disc could get  
stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD  
receiver.  
Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs  
Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed  
with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long  
time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or  
could damage the CD receiver.  
Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not  
being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed  
disc will stick easily, and should not be played  
immediately.  
Caring for Discs  
If the disc is dirty, the CD receiver will have a hard  
time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop.  
If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and  
dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center  
outwards.  
To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a  
soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with  
a dry cloth. Do not use  
cleaning spray for analog  
records or antistatic agents,  
etc. Never use volatile  
chemicals such as benzine  
or paint thinner as they can  
impregnate the disc surface.

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 antenna.  
The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals  
without an antenna connected, so you must connect  
the antenna to use the tuner.  
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna  
(CR-545)  
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor  
use only.  
Assemble the AM loop antenna,  
inserting the tabs into the base, as  
shown.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna (CR-545)  
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor  
FM antenna instead.  
Notes:  
Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
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 possible 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 hazards.  
 
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 circumstances demand it, use a TV / FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting Speakers  
-Terminal posts-  
Strip about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from the ends of the  
speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew  
the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it’s  
touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the  
terminal tight.  
Connect the right speaker to the CD receiver’s right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to  
the left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.  
Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the CD  
receiver.  
Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD  
receiver.  
Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.  
Connect only speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower  
impedance may damage the CD receiver.  
Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the CD receiver.  
Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two  
speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).

color-coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect  
right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically  
labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel  
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”).  
Note:  
Do not put anything on top of the CD receiver, as it  
may interfere with proper ventilation.  
Connecting a Subwoofer  
The CD receiver has a SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack for connecting a powered subwoofer (i.e., a subwoofer  
with a built-in amplifier).

Connecting a TV  
The CD receiver has a VIDEO OUT jack, which outputs video signal.  
When you see the contents of “videos” and “photos” in your iPod on TV, connect the cable as follows.  
Notes:  
Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.  
Turning on the CD receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical  
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CD receiver into a different branch circuit.

First Time Setup  
AccuClock - Automatic Clock Setting  
For the AccuClock function to work properly, the CD receiver must be able to receive RDS radio stations, which  
means an FM antenna must be connected. Be sure to connect an FM antenna before plugging in the power cord  
(see pages 13 and 14).  
The very first time you plug the power cord into a wall outlet, the AccuClock function automatically searches for  
an RDS radio station that’s broadcasting CT (Clock Time) information and sets the clock accordingly. While the  
CT information is being received, “AccuClock…” appears dimly on the display, as shown. Note that it may take  
several minutes to set the clock.  
If the clock is set successfully, the day and time will be displayed brightly for 2 seconds, as shown.  
The AccuClock function automatically updates the clock daily at 2:00, 3:00, and 14:00.  
If for some reason the clock cannot be set automatically, see “Setting the Clock” on page 42.

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method  
of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was  
developed within the European Broadcasting Union  
(EBU) and many European FM radio stations use it  
these days. The CD receiver supports and displays  
the Program Service Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT)  
types of RDS data. The RDS indicator appears on the  
display when the CD receiver is tuned to an FM  
station that supports RDS.

numbers, they’re selected independently. For  
example, preset #1 will store an FM station  
when the FM band is selected, and an AM  
station when the AM band is selected.  
CR-545UKD  
You can store up to 30 stations as presets for  
DAB and up to 30 stations for FM.

Using the Timers  
The CD receiver has four programmable timers for  
automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the  
CD receiver off after a specified period.  
The timers can be used to start all the playback at a  
specified time. You could, for example, use a timer to  
turn on the CD receiver every morning, just like a  
radio alarm clock.  
Time Indicators  
When a timer has been set, the TIMER (  
indicator and the number of the timer appear on the  
display.  
)
Notes:  
The timers work only if the CD receiver is on  
Standby. If it’s on when a timer is supposed to  
start playback, nothing will happen.  
While timed playback is in progress, the timer’s  
Off time cannot be changed.  
About the Timers  
The various settings for the four programmable  
timers are explained here. For details on the sleep  
timer, see page 46.  
Programming the Timers  
Notes:  
You must set the clock before you can program  
the timers.  
Repeat Timers  
Before programming a timer to turn on the radio,  
you must preset the station you want to use. (See  
pages 37 and 38.)  
Each timer can be programmed to work just once  
(Once), every week (Every), every day (Everyday),  
or on a range of days (Days Set).  
If you don’t operate any buttons for 60 seconds  
while programming a timer, the procedure will be  
cancelled and the previous display will reappear.  
Once  
The timer will work just once.  
Every  
The timer will work every week on the specified  
day and time.  
Everyday  
The timer will work every day.  
Days Set  
The timer will work on the specified range of  
days. With this setting, you could set up a  
morning alarm from Monday to Friday.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the CD receiver, look for a solution in this section.  
  How to reset to factory default?  
1. Before unplug the power-supply coRD, set the CD receiver in the STANDBY state.  
2. While holding down the [ON/STANDBY] button on the main unit, plug the power-supply  
coRD.  
"RESET" appears on the display, then the CD receiver is in the STANDBY state.  
Power  
Can’t turn on the CD receiver.  
Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (see page 17).  
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  
automatically after a specified period.  
When timed playback 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 CD receiver’s volume control is not set to minimum (see page 18).  
Make sure the correct input source is selected (see page 18).  
Make sure the CD receiver is not muted (see page 18).  
Make sure the speakers are connected correctly (see page 15).  
Check all connections and correct as necessary (see pages 13 to 17).  
While headphones are connected, the speakers output no sound (see page 18).  
The sound quality is not good.  
Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 15).  
Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 16 to 17).  
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.  
When you select iPod as the input source, the headphones output no sound.  
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.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
CD Playback  
Playback jumps.  
The CD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 11 to 12).  
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 11 to 12).  
If condensation is suspected, unplug the power cord and leave CD receiver for two to three hours in the room  
temperature before playing any discs.  
Some CD-R / RW discs may not be playable (see page 11).  
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.  
Can’t play MP3 / WMA DISCs.  
Use only ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 format discs (see page 11).  
The disc has not been finalized. Finalize the disc.  
Check whether the file format is supported (see page 11).  
MP3 / WMA files without a “.MP3 / .WMA” or “.mp3 / .wma” filename extension are not recognized.  
USB Flash Drive Playback  
Can’t access the music files on a USB Flash Drive.  
The CD receiver's USB port supports only USB Flash Drives. Do not connect a USB-connection MP3 player  
or HDD, etc. Personal computers and iPod models, etc., cannot be connected.  
If “No Media” or “Reading” remains displayed on the CD receiver, eject the USB Flash Drive once, wait a  
few seconds and then insert it again.  
Check that the format is FAT16 or FAT32, and the cluster size is 32K bytes or less.  
USB Flash Drives with an internal USB hub are not supported.  
Can’t play MP3 / WMA files.  
Check whether the file format is supported (see page 30).  
MP3 / WMA files without a “.MP3 / .WMA” or “.mp3 / .wma” filename extension are not recognized.  
The MP3 / WMA file’s copyright option is on. Don’t use the copyright option.  
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 13 to 14).  
Change the position of the antenna (see page 34).  
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 34).  
Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.  
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 14).  
If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected:  
If the preset stations are lost, preset them again (see pages 37 to 38).  
The clock and timer settings will be lost. Set the clock and timers again (see pages 42 to 46).  
DAB reception is poor:  
Check the connections, and adjust the location and position of antenna. After that, execute Auto Scan  
function manually (see page 35).  
Adjust the location and position of antenna with Tuning Aid function (see page 37).  
If the reception environment changed by removal, etc., execute Auto Scan function manually (see page 35).

Others  
“RESET” appears after the power cord is connected.  
Because the power cord was disconnected for a long time, the memory contents have been reset and all  
settings returned to the factory default settings. Perform the required settings again.  
The power turns on when the power cord is connected to a power outlet.  
If the power cord is disconnected while the power is ON, the power will turn ON the next time the power  
cord is connected. If there is a power failure while the power is ON, disconnect the power cord.  
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 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.  
If it’s not cleared, please refer to “How to reset to factory default?” on page 47.
