voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the appliance.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the appliance and
to protect it from overheating, and these 17. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the
openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing
the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. The appliance should not be
placed in a builtin installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at
least 5 cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the
appliance.
appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the
appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is
11. Power Sources – The appliance should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or
water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the appliance to its normal
operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or
damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct
change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.
12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance
may be equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Powersupply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
19. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
14. Lightning – For added protection for the
appliance during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the appliance due to
lightning and power-line surges.
20. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service
or repairs to the appliance, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
22. Heat – The appliance should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
16. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push
amplifiers) that produce heat.

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CARE-
FULLY.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly
affected by vibrations from the speakers. In par-
ticular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of
the speakers.
Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position.
Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as
it may malfunction.
The voltage of the available power supply differs
according to country or region. Be sure that the
power supply voltage of the area where this unit
will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the
rear panel.
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage
selector to conform with local power supplies. Be
sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the
power supply in your area before plugging in the
unit.
Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause recep-
tion interference resulting in some noise in the TV
or tuner output.
6. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immedi-
ately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or
other chemical solvents or cloths since these could
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-
230 V or 120 V.
If the preset voltage is not correct for your area,
insert a screwdriver into the groove in the switch.
Slide the switch all the way to the upper (120 V)
or to the lower (220-230 V), whichever is appro-
priate.

• If there is an obstacle between the remote
controller and the remote control sensor, the
remote controller will not operate.
Notes:
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or
different kinds of batteries.
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the
remote controller will not be used for a long
time.
• Immediately remove dead batteries to avoid
damage to the remote controller from
corrosion. If the remote controller begins to
operate improperly, remove the old batteries
and replace them with two new batteries.
• The life of the supplied batteries is approx. 1
year, though this value may vary depending on
usage.

Cautions regarding copyrights
• CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-ReWritable
(CD-RW) discs
When recording with the DX-R700, you must use
compact discs with the following marks printing on
them:
The lyrics and melodies composing the musical
elements of media and musical performances from
radio broadcasts, compact discs, records, music
tapes, original cassettes, and other media are
protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the
sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in media-
form, or use as background music in stores and the
like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express
consent from the copyright holder.

FOR CONSUMER
FOR CONSUMER USE
FOR MUSIC USE ONLY
(A disc with any of the above markings.)
Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not
have one of the above markings.
CD-R finalization process
After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to
perform the finalization process before the CD-R can
be played in CD players. After the finalization
process is completed, you cannot perform additional
recordings.
Copyright fees have been enacted by copyright laws,
and these fees are included in the price of CD-R*1
and CD-RW*2 discs, as well as discs labeled with
“FOR CONSUMER,” “FOR CONSUMER USE,” and
“FOR MUSIC USE ONLY.” Therefore, the recording
of music protected by copyright laws with these
discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying
for purposes other than personal use requires the
permission of the copyright holder.
CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs
CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD players
even after finalization. CD-RW discs can only be
played on players compatible with CD-RW discs.
Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be erased
even after finalization.
• Compact discs
Always use compact discs with the following mark
(optical digital audio discs):
CD TEXT
CD TEXT is a feature added to audio CDs that
provides the ability to deliver text information
(alphabetic letters, symbols, and numbers) such as
disc titles, artist names, track titles, etc. Commercial
audio CDs that contain this text information bear the

Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the
pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the
sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft
dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward
the outside.
Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special
shaped discs as they may damage the internal
mechanisms of the DX-R700.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or
non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause high-
pitched noises or other unpredictable results that
may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other
connected components.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring
it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next,
using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the
disc surface.
Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic
agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other
volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
I
Handling discs
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the
side that does not have printing on it). Always hold
discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.
I
Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct
sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other
locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely
low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly
in their protective cases.
Label side
Data side
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or
label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs
or allow them to become scratched.
I
Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached
to them or rental compact discs that have rental
labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling
off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the
DX-R700 may become damaged.
Condensation
When moving the DX-R700 from a cold location
to a hot location, when quickly heating a cold
location with a furnace, or other similar situation,
condensation may occur. This may not only cause
improper operation of the device, but may also
damage the discs and components.
I
Do not use 8-cm CD adapters
If condensation has occurred, turn on the DX-
R700 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you
will not use the DX-R700, then eject any disc
inside.

Connecting the DX-R700
1 Connecting to an amplifier
Connect the DX-R700 to the CDR, TAPE or MD terminal on the amplifier.
• Connect the red connectors of the supplied audio connection cables to the R-channel terminals and the
white connectors to the L-channel terminals.
• Make sure the connectors are properly inserted all the way. If the connectors are not properly connected,
noise or improper operation may result.
• Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so may cause
deterioration of the audio signal.
2 Connecting the z cable
• With Onkyo components that are equipped with an z connector, use the supplied z cable to connect
the z connector to the z connector of the DX-R700.
• The z connectors are only effective if they are used in conjunction with an Onkyo amplifier with an z
connector. Do not connect to a component other than an Onkyo component with an z connector.
Doing so may damage the DX-R700.
• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.
• Connecting the z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio
cables as well.
3 Connecting to the digital input
Using the digital input, you can record digital audio from compact disc players, DAT decks, and other digital
audio components that have a digital output. Connect using the supplied optical digital cable and either the
DIGITAL INPUT 1 or 2 input on the DX-R700. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with
digital output terminals.
Notes:
• The optical digital terminal is provided with a protection cap installed. When necessary, remove this
protection cap and store it safely. When not using the optical digital input terminal, be sure to put the
cap back on the terminal.
• To perform digital input recording, you must connect to the optical digital input terminal. If the digital
connection is not made, “D.In Unlock” will appear in the display.
4 Connecting to the digital output
Using the digital output, you can connect to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT deck recorders, and other
digital audio recorders that have optical digital input connectors for making digital recordings. You can also

Cautions during recording
Normal recording mode
When not connected to a component system, there
are a few methods that you can perform to record
the signal in from the analog input or digital input of
the DX-R700.
In the following situations, recording is not
possible even if the o REC button is pressed.
• The CD indicator is lit (a CD or finalized CD-R
has been inserted).
• The CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators are lit (a
finalized CD-RW has been inserted).
• The inserted disc is full and “Disc Full” is
displayed.
I
Analog recording (see page 20)
This method records the signal at the analog inputs.
The recording level can be adjusted manually.
• The 99th track has been recorded and “Disc
Full” is displayed.
• The disc is not for audio use or when “Pro Disc”
is displayed.
I
Digital recording (see page 20)
This method records the signal at the optical digital
inputs. The recording level can be adjusted manually.
You may need to adjust the recording level when
recording low digital signal sources such as satellite
broadcasts and the like.
Only the audio signals can be recorded
The DX-R700 is designed for recording audio signals
only and therefore only digital signals that are audio
signals are recorded. Other CD-ROM and Dolby
Digital data, and the like, will not be recorded. Also,
when recording from discs that have graphics or text
data, only the audio signals will be recorded.
I
Signal synchronous recording
(see page 22)
This method allows you to start recording in
synchronization with the input signals from the
Onkyo products that are not equipped with an z
connector or other manufacturer's products.
The minimum track length is 4 seconds
For compact discs, the minimum track length is 4
seconds. Even if the e (stop) or g (pause) button is
pressed immediately after starting recording, a silent
4-second track will be recorded. Also, during that 4
seconds, you cannot resume recording or perform
another operation.
Recording mode when connecting to
other Onkyo products using z cable
When you connect the DX-R700 to other Onkyo
products using z cable, you can use the following
recording mode.
When an unrecordable signal in present
during the digital recording
“D.In Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” appears in the
display and the recording operation is suspended.
The operation will be resumed in response to any
recordable signals that may follow.
I
Synchronous recording on the DX-R700
(The recording on the DX-R700 and the
playback on the source device start
simultaneously.)
• Synchronous recording from the CD player to
the DX-R700
Do not turn off the DX-R700 while making
recordings, finalizing discs, or erasing
recordings, or while “PMA Writing” is
displayed
An inserted disc can be corrupt and no longer usable
if the power is accidentally turned off or in case of
power failure.
• Synchronous recording from the MD recorder to
the DX-R700 (Analog recording only)
Note:
If you want to record digitally from the CD player,
you must have the optical or coaxial cable from the
CD player connected to the DIGITAL INPUT terminal
on the DX-R700.

between tracks in the recording source, the track
numbers will be automatically updated.
The finalization process writes the TOC data (tracks,
etc.) for the disc in a special area on the disc called
the PMA. After finalization, CD-Rs can be played in
CD players. Even after finalization, CD-RWs can only
be played on CD players that are compatible with
CD-RWs.
I
For digital recording
The level sync recording automatically turns on. If
the digital signal includes the track number
information, the track numbers will be automatically
assigned.
For CD-Rs that have been finalized, you cannot add
more recordings.
For satellite broadcasts and other digital signals that
do not include track number information, the track
numbers will be automatically updated when 2
seconds or more of silence is detected.
Erasing recording (CD-RW discs only)
The data recorded on CD-RW discs can be erased
and the disc can be used again as many times as
desired (see page 34).
The erasing methods are given below.
• Erasing data on unfinalized CD-RWs
Last track erase: Erases only the last track.
Multi-track erase: Erases all tracks from the
selected track to the final track.
All track erase: Erases all tracks.
• Erasing data on finalized CD-RWs

Other Information
Rules concerning digital recording
from analog records, FM radio programs, etc. you
Guide to the serial copy
management system
recorded using the unit. However, digital-to-digital
copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or
CD-RW that has been created through digital-to-
digital copying. When two CD recorders are
connected via the analog input and output
terminals, however, recording can be performed
beyond this restriction.
You cannot use digital recording to create a second-
generation copy, a copy of a copy created through
digital recording, with a CD-R or CD-RW. This is
because the unit conforms to the Serial Copy
Management System and permits only one
generation of digital-to-digital copying (the
recording of the original digital signals as they are).
The Serial Copy Management System is based on the
following three rules.
Principle 3
With a DAT deck or a CD recorder that supports the
sampling frequencies of 32 kHz and 48 kHz, digital-
to-digital copying can be used to record the digital
sound from satellite broadcast. (This CD recorder
supports these sampling frequencies.) In this case,
digital-to-digital copying is allowed to create a
second-generation copy. However, with some BS
tuners, second-generation copy may not be
produced.
Principle 1
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a
copy of a CompactDisc (CD), Digital Audio Tape
(DAT), MiniDisk (MD), etc. with a CD-R or CD-RW.
However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to
create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been
created through digital-to-digital copying.
* When CD recorders are connected using analog
terminals, the number of dubbings is not
limited.
Principle 2
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a
copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that contains the songs

Troubleshooting guide
If the DX-R700 begins to operate improperly, use the troubleshooting guide below to help you ascertain the
problem.
Because the unit contains a microcomputer to provide advanced functions, it may malfunction due to
external noise or static electricity. If this happens, disconnect the power cord and then plug it in again after
about 5 seconds.
About the self-diagnosis function
The DX-R700 is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If a malfunction is detected during operation, one of
the messages given below will appear in the front display.

• Playback was likely stopped due to dirt,
dust, scratches, or vibrations.
• The disc has been placed in
upside down.
• Eject the disc and check for dirt, dust,
and scratches.
• Eject the disc and check that it is placed
in correctly.
If you place the disc correctly and the
same message appears, unplug the power
cord and plug it back in again. If the same
message appears again, contact an Onkyo
service representative.

Repair
The player component was already
playing.
Stop the player component. Shortly thereafter,
“Signal Wait” will appear (see page 23).
The DX-R700 is entering the
recording standby state.
Wait until the message disappears.
After recording, the disc was left in
the DX-R700 when the power was
turned off and the track numbers and
recording time data was lost.
While “Repair” is displayed, the
DX-R700 is tracing back through the
recorded area and repairing the track
numbers and recording time data.
When the message disappears,
finalization of the disc is possible.
Depending on the recording amount,
this process may take up to 40 minutes.
Disc Full
Either the disc is full of recordings or
99 tracks have been recorded and no
more recordings can be made on the disc.
Use a new disc.
