Replacing the Battery

Use only a battery of the same type (CR 2025, lithium button battery).

1 While pushing the locking tab toward the center of the remote controller, slide out the battery holder.

2 Remove the old battery from the battery holder, insert the new battery, and then slide the battery holder back into the remote controller.

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn't work reliably, try replacing the battery.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the battery to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
• An expired battery should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Caution: Replacing the battery incorrectly may cause an explosion. Use only a battery of the same type or an equivalent.

Aiming the Remote Controller

When using the remote controller, point it toward the CBX-100's remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the CBX-100 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight 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 CBX-100 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don't put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller will not work if there's an obstacle between it and the CBX-100's remote control sensor.

• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn't conform to the official CD standard. Since these are non-standard discs, they may not play properly in the CBX-100.
• The CBX-100 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 CBX-100 supports 8cm and 12cm discs.
• The CBX-100 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 CBX-100.

• 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 CBX-100 and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.

Discs Made on Personal Computers

Discs made on personal computers, including those of a compatible format, may not work properly in the CBX-100 because of incorrect settings in the disc burning software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc burning software for additional compatibility information.

MP3/WMA Compatibility

• The CBX-100 can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Discs must be in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo or Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode 2 Form 1.
• Multisession discs are supported, however, some multisession 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."
• You can determine the order in which the CBX-100 plays the MP3/WMA files in a folder by prefixing file names with a 3-digit number. For example, 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.
• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 30 characters. MP3/WMA file and folder names (excluding the extension) are shown on the display.
• The CBX-100 supports up to 499 MP3 files and folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very complicated, the CBX-100 may not be able to read or play all of the MP3 files on the disc.
• MP3/WMA files without the proper extension will not be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunction, do not use these extensions for other types of files.

MP3

• MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format with a sampling rate of between 8kHz and 48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps. Incompatible files cannot be played.

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 CBX-100 won't pick up any radio signals without an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Once the CBX-100 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.

2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

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 outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 16).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

2 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.

Once the CBX-100 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 CBX-100, power cord, and your TV.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 16).

Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

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 an Outdoor AM Antenna

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 AM antennas work best when installed horizontally 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.

Connecting an External Audio Source

About Connections

• Before making any connections, read the manuals supplied with your other components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all connections.

Connection Color Coding

RCA-type audio connections are usually 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").

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from power cords.

Connecting an Onkyo RI Dock (Remote Interactive Dock)

The following diagram shows how to connect an optional Onkyo RI Dock (Remote Interactive Dock). Connect the CBX-100's INPUT DOCK/LINE jacks to the RI Dock's AUDIO OUT jacks.

Signal flow

What can you do with Rl?

• Connecting an Onkyo RI Dock to the CBX-100 with an RI cable allows you to control the RI Dock with the CBX-100's remote controller. In addition, when playback is started on the RI Dock, the CBX-100 will automatically select it as the input source.

Notes:

• To use RI with an Onkyo RI Dock, the Input Display for the INPUT DOCK/LINE jacks must be set to DOCK. Since this is the default setting, unless you've changed it, it can be left as it is (see page 21).
• To use RI, you must connect the RI Dock to the CBX-100 with an RI cable and an analog audio cable (RCA).

Connecting an External Audio Source—Continued

Connecting Other Components

Connect the CBX-100's INPUT DOCK/LINE jacks to the other component's audio output jacks.

Signal flow
Tip:
To listen to the component, select the LINE input source (see page 20).

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, complete and double-check all other connections.
• Turning on the CBX-100 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CBX-100 into a different branch circuit.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the CBX-100. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the CBX-100 and should not be used with any other equipment.
• Never disconnect the power cord from the CBX-100 while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the CBX-100.

1	Connect the supplied power cord to the CBX-100's AC INLET.
2	Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet. The STANDBY indicator lights up.

AccuClock—Automatic Clock Setting

For the AccuClock function to work properly, the CBX-100 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 page 15). 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 a few 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 A.M., 3 A.M., and 2 P.M. If for some reason the clock cannot be set automatically, see "Setting the Clock" on page 38.

• If you've set the AccuClock function, but it's not updating the time automatically, make sure a strong signal is being received from the specified RDS station. Also make sure that the station is actually broadcasting CT information. Try another station, if necessary.

Using the Timers

The CBX-100 has five timers: four programmable timers for automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the CBX-100 off after a specified period.

The timers can be used to start FM, AM, or CD playback at a specified time on the CBX-100 or an Onkyo RI Dock that's connected to the CBX-100 with an RI cable (see page17). You could, for example, use a timer to turn on the CBX-100 every morning, just like a radio alarm clock.

About the Timers

The various settings for the four programmable timers are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see page 45.

Repeat Timers

Each timer can be programmed to work just once (Once), every week (Every), every day (Everyday), or on a range of days (Days Set).

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 for Monday to Friday.

Timer Example

To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset #1) every morning, you could program a timer as follows: Snooze On FM #1 Every Everyday On 7:00 Off 7:30

If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select Days Set instead of Everyday and specify MON-FRI.

Timer Priority

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

If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the earliest start time has priority. For example:

Timer 1: 9:00 - 10:00

Timer 2: 8:00 - 10:00 (This timer has priority.)

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:

Timer 1: 0:00 - 1:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 1:00 - 2:00

Timer Indicators

When a timer has been set, the TIMER indicator and the number of the timer appear on the display. When a timer has been set for snooze, an underscore appears below its number (see page 44).

TIMER indicator

Notes:

• The timers work only if the CBX-100 is on Standby. If it's on when a timer is supposed to start playback, nothing will happen.
