Precautions
1. Recording Copyright
7. Moisture Condensation
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted
material is illegal without the permission of the copy-
right holder.
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of
the most important parts inside this unit.
2. AC Fuse
TheAC fuse inside the CR-505DAB is not user-service-
able. If you cannot turn on the CR-505DAB, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit-
uations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may
damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave
this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time,
the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will
have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation,
keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.
3. Care
Occasionally you should dust the CR-505DAB 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 CR-505DAB immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners,
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on the CR-505DAB’s rear panel
(AC 230 -240 V, 50 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does
not fully shutdown the CR-505DAB. If you do not
intend to use the CR-505DAB for an extended period,
remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by quali-
fied service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
5. Never Touch This Unit with Wet Hands
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
Blue: Neutral

6. Installing This Unit
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appara-
tus may not correspond with the coloured markings identi-
fying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the ter-
minal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat,
leading to malfunction.
• 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 mal-
function.
IMPORTANT
A 3, 5 or 13 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement
fuse has a rating of 3, 5 or 13 amperes 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 AMPERE
SOCKET.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move
this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Memory backup
The CR-505DAB uses a battery-less memory backup sys-
tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings when
it’s unplugged or in case of a power failure. Although no
batteries are required, the CR-505DAB must be plugged
into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the CR-505DAB will retain the
settings for several weeks, although this depends on the
environment and retention will be shorter in humid cli-
mates. The clock setting is not retained by the backup sys-
tem.
This label is located on the side of the unit. It indicates
that:
1. This unit is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and
employs a laser inside the cabinet.

ConnectingYour Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.
Connecting the Speaker Cords to
the Speaker Connectors

• Only use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or
higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and
use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period
of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect
the sound quality and should be avoided.

Connecting an Antenna
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna, AM loop antenna, and DAB antenna and how
to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM
antennas.
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoorAM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
The CD Receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect an antenna to
use the tuner.

ANTENNA
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.
AM
Once the CD Receiver is ready for use, you’ll need 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.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoorAM loop antenna, try using a commercially available
outdoor AM antenna (see page 13).
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 13).

Notes:
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon-
tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting it horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
• 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
the transmitter.
• Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, an outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
Connecting the DAB Antenna
1
Screw the supplied DAB antenna onto the
DAB connector.
• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
I 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.
Once the CD Receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an DAB station and adjust the position of the
DAB antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Timers can be set for single use (Once), in which case the
timer is reset once the task has been completed, for use on a
certain day every week (Every), or for a range of days (e.g.,
Monday through Friday).
Setting the Timers
The timers are set using the remote controller.
You must set the clock (page 16) before you can set the timers.
To use a timer to turn on the radio, you must first preset
some radio stations (see pages 26 and 29).
When the CD is selected for the input source, the timer can-
not be set without a disc placed on the disc tray. This avoids
forgetting to load a disc.
I Timer Examples
The following examples highlight some of the ways in
which you can use the timers.
Timer 1: To wake up to your favourite radio station (preset
#1) every morning, set as follows:
PLAY➔FM 1➔EVERY➔EVERY DAY➔ON 7:00➔OFF
7:30
1
Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly to
select Timer #1, #2, #3, or #4, and then
press the [ENTER] button.
(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 radio program (preset #2) on the cas-
sette tape deck only this Sunday, set as follows:
REC➔FM 2➔TAPE➔ONCE➔SUN➔ON 21:00➔OFF 22:00
(You need an Onkyo cassette tape deck to do the recording.)
I Timer Overlap
If two or more timers are set to the same ON time, the timer
with the lowest number has priority. For example, if Timer
#1 and Timer #2 are both set to an ON time of 7:00, Timer
#1 has priority and Timer #2 is ignored.
Timer 1: 07:00 - 13:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 07:00 - 12:30
2
Use the Up/Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select
“PLAY” or “REC,” and then press
[ENTER].
If the settings of two timers overlap, the earlier timer has
priority.
Timer 1: 9:00 - 10:00
Timer 2: 8:00 - 10:00 (This timer has priority.)
Notes:
• The timers work only if the CR-505DAB is in Standby
mode. If the CR-505DAB is on when a timer is supposed
to start playback or recording, nothing will happen, so be
sure to switch the CR-505DAB to Standby mode.
• While a timed recording task is in progress, the output of
the CR-505DAB is muted. To hear what’s being
recorded, press the [MUTING] button to cancel the Mute
function. Press it again to mute the CR-505DAB.

• If you’re using a timer to start playback, be sure to set the
volume to a suitable level. If the [VOLUME] control is
set to minimum, you won’t hear anything when the timed
playback task starts.
• If you set the playback source to CD, don’t forget to load
a CD into the CR-505DAB before setting it to Standby
mode.
Use the Up/Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select the last
day, and then press [ENTER].
• If you’re using a timer to start recording on an Onkyo cas-
sette tape deck connected via

correct input source on the cassette tape deck, and load a
cassette tape before switching the CR-505DAB to
Standby mode.
• If you’re using a timer to start recording on an Onkyo
Mini Disc recorder connected via
, be sure to connect
the recorder’s analog inputs to the CR-505DAB’s analog
outputs. And be sure to select the correct input source on
the MD recorder.
• For timed recording, it’s a good idea to set the start time
a little before the actual start time of the program that you
intend to record.

• Folders can be up to eight levels deep.
• MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 for-
mat with a sampling rate of between 16 kHz and 48 kHz
and a bit-rate of between 32 kbps and 320 kbps (128 kbps
or 192 kbps recommended). Incompatible files cannot be
played.
• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended, however, vari-
able bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files between 8 kbps and 320
kbps are supported (Playing times may display incor-
rectly).
• MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” file name exten-
sion. 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 CR-505DAB supports up to 500 MP3 files and up to
200 folders per disc. (In this case, Disc and File names
contain 30 characters and Folder names contain 20 char-
acters.) Files and folders in excess of this cannot be
played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very
complicated, the CR-505DAB may not be able to read or
play all of the MP3 files on the disc. If the disc, folder or
file names contain many characters, the CR-505DAB
may not support 500 MP3 files.

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 CR-
505DAB.
• The CR-505DAB 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 CR-505DAB supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• Playback is not available for DTS CD.
• The CR-505DAB does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, because you may damage the CR-
505DAB.
• Disc names may contain up to 30 characters. File and
folder names may contain up to 60 characters.
• 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 files.
• 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 recommend that
you use a single session (disc-at-once), and select “Disc
Close.”
• The ID3 tag version 1.0 is supported.
• 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 CR-
505DAB and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.
Notes:
• 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.
• In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks.

Disc Notes—Continued
Handling Discs
• Never touch the underside of a disc.Always hold discs by
the edge, as shown.
Underside
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
• 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.
✔
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner
or benzene, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
sprays intended for vinyl records, because they may dam-
age the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or
near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking,
or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause warp-
ing, scratches, or other damage.

Abnormal Behavior
The CR-505DAB 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 even that this should
happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Restoring the Default Settings
To reset the CR-505DAB to its factory defaults, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Then press and hold the [STANDBY/
ON] button on the CR-505DAB, and plug in the power cord.
