CD receiver

Insert two AA-size batteries into the bat-

tery compartment.

Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive +

and negative - symbols) inside the battery com-

partment.

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 con-

troller 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.

After batteries are installed and seated

correctly, attach the compartment cover.

• 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.

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try

replacing the batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of

batteries.

• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long

time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from

leakage or corrosion.

• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-

ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

may display incorrectly.)

• 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

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 play-

back.

• 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, because 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

track is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

• 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 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 Preferences” on page 32

for more information.

• 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.

by the edge, as shown.

• For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized

will be those embedded in the beginning of the ﬁle.

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 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 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.

• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight,

or near heat sources.

MP3 (CD-R/CD-RW)

• 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. Stack-

ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause

warping, scratches, or other damage.

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 won’t 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.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM push terminals, as

shown.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so

they can be connected either way around).

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and

that the push terminals are gripping the bare

wires, not the insulation.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully

into the jack.

Push

Release

Once your 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.

Once your CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll

need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust

the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best

possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

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 don’t 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

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.

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 ﬂoor 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 speciﬁc frequency

ranges due to reﬂected 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 sufﬁcient 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

Programming Radio Stations

Programming FM/AM Stations One by One – Preset Write

You can store the frequencies of stations one by one manually into the preset memory channels. This is useful

when you want to program the stations in your favorite order.

In addition to this method, FM has “Auto Preset” mode to store frequencies automatically.

Before auto presetting

• You can preset up to 30 channels including

both FM and AM stations. For example, if you

have already stored FM stations to eight chan-

nels, you can use 22 channels to store preset

AM stations.

ber. For example, you could program threeAM

stations to channels 2, 5, and 9.

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 cables’ core 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 ﬂashing, 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 ﬁrmly. (See page 17.)

• Sound quality could be affected by a strong magnetic ﬁeld, 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 inﬂuence 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 don’t do this.

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.

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 disc’s 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 Notes” on 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 ﬂuorescent 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 ﬂuorescent 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 won’t 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 unit’s 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 ﬁve seconds.
