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 and speaker cables.
- If the TV picture is distorted, or noise is heard in the output sound of the CD/HDD receiver, install the CD/HDD receiver as far as possible from the TV.
Optical Digital Input Terminal
The optical digital input terminal of the CD/HDD receiver is a type of terminal with cover. Insert the optical digital cable while pushing the cover inwards.
Notes:
- Plug or unplug the optical digital cable in straight direction.
- If you plug or unplug the cable slantingly, the cover may be damaged.
- Do not put anything on top of the CD/HDD receiver, as it may interfere with proper ventilation, leading to malfunction.
See the related pages for connection.

Connecting Speakers
- Connect the right speaker to the CD/HDD 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/HDD receiver. Connect the negative (−) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (−) terminal on the CD/HDD receiver. Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.
- Up to two speakers can be connected to the CD/HDD receiver.

—Terminal posts—
Strip about 15 mm 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.

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 and AM antennas. The CD/HDD receiver 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.

Once the CD/HDD 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.
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 18).
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.

flowchart
graph TD
A["Device 1"] --> B["Device 2"]
B --> C["Device 3"]
C --> D["Device 4"]
2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM ANTENNA 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.

flowchart
graph LR
A["Push"] --> B["Insert"]
B --> C["wire"]
C --> D["Release"]
D --> E["Antenna"]
E --> F["Computer"]
Once the CD/HDD 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/HDD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
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 18).
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.

To CD/HDD receiver To TV (or VCR)
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 Other Components
The following diagram shows how to connect other components (i.e., a cassette deck, an MD recorder, a CD recorder) and an Onkyo RI Dock (Remote Interactive Dock). If Audyssey EQ ^TM is active, you cannot perform recording (except for timer recording) to an external component. Deactivate Audyssey EQ ^TM when you want to record to an external component (see page 26).
Connecting an MD recorder or cassette deck
Connect the CD/HDD receiver's MD/TAPE OUT jacks to the INPUT (REC) jacks of the MD recorder or cassette deck. Connect the CD/HDD receiver's MD/TAPE IN jacks to the OUTPUT (PLAY) jacks of the MD recorder or cassette deck.
Connecting a CD recorder or an Onkyo RI Dock
Connect the CD/HDD receiver's DOCK/CDR OUT jacks to the AUDIO INPUT jacks of the CD recorder or Onkyo RI Dock.
Connect the CD/HDD receiver's DOCK/CDR IN jacks to the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks of the CD recorder or Onkyo RI Dock.
Connecting Onkyo RI Components
First connect each Onkyo component to the CD/HDD receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA) as described above. Next, make the necessary RI connections with an RI cable (see illustration below). Finally, change the Input Display to the corresponding component name (see page 45).

note left of G: "RI cable supplied with other Onkyo components"
What can you do with RI?
- Connecting an Onkyo RI-capable component to the CD/HDD receiver via RI cable allows you to control the component with the CD/HDD receiver's remote controller.
- When playback is started on the component connected via RI, the CD/HDD receiver will automatically select it as the input source.
- When you start playback on the component connected via RI, if the CD/HDD receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on. Similarly, when the CD/HDD receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via RI will also go on Standby.
Notes:
- No RI cable is included with the CD/HDD receiver. Use RI cables supplied with other Onkyo components.
- Use RI jacks for a combined use with RI-capable components.
- Some RI-capable components have two RI jacks. They're both the same, so you can use either one. The extra jack is for connecting additional RI-capable components.
Connecting a Subwoofer
The CD/HDD receiver has SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack for connecting a powered active subwoofer (i.e., a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier).


: Signal flow
Connecting a Component with a Digital Audio Output
The following diagram shows how to connect a component with an optical digital audio output, such as a games console, satellite tuner, or personal computer. Connect the CD/HDD receiver's DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack to an optical digital audio output on the other component.
You can change the Input Display for the OPTICAL DIGITAL IN to DIGITAL, CD-R/dig, GAME/dig, or PC/dig so that it matches the type of component that you connect (see page 45).
The CD/HDD receiver supports only a 16-bit PCM signal with a sampling rate of between 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
Some components require the settings of forced conversion to PCM.

Hooking Up to the Internet
The CD/HDD receiver is network-ready, which means you can hook it up to your home network with a standard Internet and the Gracenote® music recognition service is available. Gracenote® music recognition service is music CD database service constructed on servers located on the Internet. See page 80 for details.
In addition, while the PC is accessing the CD/HDD receiver, you can transfer the music files between the CD/HDD receiver and your PC via FTP. See page 52 for details.
The CD/HDD receiver is configured to automatically try to access the Internet upon completion of the hook up. If your connection is not successfully established, see page 68. A contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is required to connect to the Internet. If you already have a broadband internet connection there is no need to take out another contract.
Network Requirements
■Ethernet Network
The CD/HDD receiver's Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Because wireless connections may be unreliable, wired connections are recommended.
Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, routing data and supplying IP addresses. Your router must support the following:
- NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
- A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you're unsure.
■CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network.
■Internet Access
A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you're unsure.
Notes:
- The CD/HDD receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see page 69.
- The CD/HDD receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-compatible router.
- Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server. If your computer is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the CD/HDD receiver (see page 69).
Connecting the CD/HDD receiver
To connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network, plug one end of a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable into the CD/HDD receiver's ETHERNET port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the CD/HDD receiver to your home network. In this example, it's connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ™
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response and tonal balance that remains constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
This section explains how the CD/HDD receiver deals with the music data saved in the HDD and USB devices. When copying (recording) or deleting music data, you must first press the [LIBRARY] button on the CD/HDD receiver or remote controller to read the contents and display the list. Also, when editing the music information, you must start by selecting the track from the list.
USB Device
The list is displayed in the hierarchical structure of folders (artist names and album names) and files (tracks).
You can copy and erase the music data when a folder or file is selected. At this time, the folders or files displayed in the list are the target of copying or erasing. When all file/folder erase is executed by selecting the option "All Erase", all folders and files currently displayed in the list will be erased. When "one file/folder erase" is executed by selecting the option "1 Erase", one folder or file selected will be erased.
Example: Deleting an album
Select an album and execute "one file/folder" erase (1 Erase).

flowchart

HDD
The list is displayed in a set of search categories such as the artist, album, and track.
Unlike the USB device, it is always necessary to read the track list for copying, erasing or editing. (The operation cannot be performed by selecting only artist or album.) When you want to erase all files in the HDD, first select "ALL" from Artist Category or Album Category to go to the track list, and then erase all files by selecting the option "All Erase".
However, for the files created by Tuner Recording or Line Recording, separately enter the Tuner recording category or the Line recording category, and then erase all files by selecting the option "All Erase" on the track list.
Example: Deleting an album
Select an album, select an arbitrary track, and then execute "all file erase" (All Erase).

Presetting AM/FM Stations Manually
With the Preset Write function, you can manually preset individual AM and FM stations. Presets make it easy to select your favorite stations and eliminate the need to tune the radio manually each time you want to change stations. FM stations can also be preset automatically (see page 34).
About Presets
- You can store up to 40 stations as presets and this can be any combination of AM and FM stations. For example, 27 FM and 13 AM, or 18 FM and 22AM.
- Although AM and FM presets share the same numbers, they're selected independently. For example, preset #1 will store an AM station when the AM band is selected, and an FM station when the FM band is selected.
- Stations can be stored to presets in any order. For example, you could store preset #5 first, #1 second, and so on.

Compatible USB Devices
■USB storage devices and digital audio players
The CD/HDD receiver supports the USB storage devices such as USB flash memory and USB hard disk drive, and also supports various kinds of digital audio players. However, they are limited to the devices that support the USB Mass Storage Class*.
* The USB Mass Storage Class is a standard established for connecting the large capacity memory devices (mass storage devices) to the USB port of a computer. Because the USB devices conforming to this standard are recognized as external memory devices without the need for special drivers or software, even a digital audio player can be handled in the same way as an external memory device.
Notes:
- For the functions of USB devices, see their instruction manuals.
- Recording and transferring cannot be performed between the CD/HDD receiver and the iPod. Only the playback can be performed.
- When the AC power adapter is attached to the digital audio player or the USB storage device, Onkyo recommend that you connect the AC power adapter to the domestic power supply. When using the batteries, check that the remaining battery level is sufficient. Please note that Onkyo is not responsible for the malfunctions, recording failures, or music data damages resulting from insufficient battery power.
- Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss or damage to data stored on a USB mass storage device when that device is used with the CD/HDD receiver. Onkyo recommend that you back up your important music files beforehand.
- Recording may be slow depending on the USB device.
- If many tracks are stored in the USB flash memory (approx. 60,000 files or more), it may take some time for the recording operation.
- When you record to an SD memory card using a memory card reader/writer, you may not be able to record depending on the memory card because the access time is too slow.
USB Mass Storage Device Requirements
- USB devices formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32 file system are supported.
- If the storage device has been partitioned, only music files in the first partition can be played.
• Each folder may contain up to 60,000 music files, and folders may be nested up to eight levels deep. - USB hubs and USB devices with hub functions are not supported.
Preparation for Recording and Transferring
Perform the setting of the recording beforehand by referring to "Setting for recording" on the next page.
When you transfer the data to the digital audio player or the USB storage device, connect it to the USB port of the CD/HDD receiver.
For the details on how to use the USB device, see the instruction manual attached to the device.

Notes:
- Do not connect the CD/HDD receiver's USB port to a USB port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the CD/HDD receiver in this way.
- In the process of transferring the data to the digital audio player or the USB storage device, do not disconnect the USB cable. Malfunction of the connection device or the CD/HDD receiver may occur.
- The recording speed varies depending on the recording format and bit rate.
Setting for Recording
Before starting the recording, set the format and bit rate.
Format is a data form of tracks to be recorded. Bit rate means the quantity of information for recording.
When the quantity of information increases, the sound quality becomes better, however the data volume becomes larger.
The data volume and available USB devices that can transfer the data depends on the format. Select a proper and optimum format.
| Format Extension Bit rate | Sampling frequency | ||
| MP3(MPEG-2AudioLayer-3) | *.mp3 | 128 kbps160 kbps192 kbps 256 kbps^*1 | 44.1 kHz |
| WMA ^*2 (WindowsMedia AudioV8.0) | *.wma | 128 kbps160 kbps192 kbps | 44.1 kHz |
| WAV*.wav—— | |||
*1 This is the default setting. However, 128 kbps is set in the case of the data transfer to the USB devices.
*2 Copyright protected WMA files cannot be recorded or transferred.
Note:
AAC files cannot be recorded to the CD/HDD receiver but only can be transferred via USB port (between HDD and USB devices).

Network Configuration
When your computer cannot be connected to the Internet, or you want to set the IP address manually, set the following network configuration. When setting it manually, input the values (alphanumeric characters) according to the setting of your broadband router currently in use. The necessary setting items vary depending on the Internet Service Provider (ISP). See the materials provided from your ISP for details.
| Setting item Description Example | ||
| IP Address | An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification (logical address) that is assigned to computers and network devices connected to the network (TCP/IP network). | 192.168.xxx.xxx |
| Subnet Mask | In computer networks based on the Internet protocol suite, a subnet is a portion of the network's computers and network devices. A subnet mask can be used to specify which portion of the IP address should be used as the network number for the subnet. | 255.255.xxx.xxx |
| Gateway Address (Default gateway) | A default gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network. All internet traffic passes through the gateway.In homes, the gateway is usually the ISP-provided device that connects the user to the Internet, such as a DSL or cable modem. | 192.168.xxx.xxx |
| DNS Address (DNS server address) (primary) | The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various information with domain names. A DNS server is a special type of computer on the Internet used to support the DNS. ISPs give their customers the public IP address of the DNS server. | 192.168.xxx.xxx |
| Proxy | In computer networks, a proxy server acts an intermediate gateway between you and your Internet connection. The proxy server sends the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. The proxy server also provides network firewall, connection sharing, and caching technology for private networks. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. | proxy.xxx.ne.jp |
| DHCP (Dynamic host configuration protocol) | DHCP is a protocol used by networked devices (clients) to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network. ISPs usually use DHCP so that customers can reduce system administration workload and join the Internet with minimum effort.In DHCP, a computer joins the network without having a pre-configured IP address. IP addresses are uniquely assigned to devices, then released and renewed these addresses as devices leave and re-join the network. | - |
Entering DHCP Settings Manually
You can enter DHCP settings such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, or DNS server manually. Follow these steps when you want to assign the fixed IP address for network connection, or to assign the DNS server address specified by your ISP.

- The PHOTO CD, data session of CD Extra disc, and super audio CD cannot be played.
- The CD-R/CD-RW with music CD and MP3 file mixed cannot be played.
Don't use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, as you may damage the CD/HDD receiver.


Tip:
For the CD recording format, see the instruction manual of your CD-R/RW drive or the disc burner.
Disc Content Organization
■Audio CD
Audio CDs contain tracks.

■Data CD
Data CDs contain MP3, WMA, AAC, or WAV files organized into folders.

Precautions on DualDiscs
The CD/HDD receiver is designed to play discs in conformity with the CD standards. The DualDisc is a two-sided disc made up of a DVD-standard-compatible side and a music-specific side. However, the music-specific side is not compatible with the CD standards, so it may not be played with the CD/HDD receiver.
DualDisc is a trademark owned by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Playback of Copy-protected Audio CDs
Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn't conform to the CD standards. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the CD/HDD receiver.
Handling Discs
- Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs by the edge, as shown.

- Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels, or write letters even on the label side, much less on the underside.

- Never scratch the CD surfaces.
Precautions on Rental Discs
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/HDD receiver and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.
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 benzine, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, as they may damage 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 warping, scratches, or other damage.

- The playable format for the iPod is determined in accordance with the specifications of the iPod. However, contents recorded at the sampling rate of 32kHz cannot be played.
- Some types of AAC files may not be played.
- Music files which are copyright protected cannot be played.
- When a file created in unsupported sampling rate or bit rates is played, playback may be stopped or become intermittent, or loud noises or speaker damage may occur.
- Do not use each specified file extension for a file in a different format. The CD/HDD receiver tries to playback it and this may result in skipped playback, noises or failure.
- In the following cases, the elapsed time of playback may be different from the actual time.
- When a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) file is played
- When fast reverse or fast forward is performed
- The maximum time that can be displayed for a single file is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
- The remaining time cannot be displayed.
- The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1 and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Versions 2.5 and later are not supported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have priority and will be displayed.
- For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized will be those embedded in the beginning of the file. Onkyo recommend that you include only title, artist name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Com-
pressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be displayed.
- The ID3 tag information may be displayed in only 31 characters depending on the file.
- The CD/HDD receiver supports up to 500 files and folders per disc. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very complicated, the CD/HDD receiver may not be able to read or play all of the files.
- With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain many files and folders and files (not limited to music files), it may take a long time to read the disc. Onkyo recommend that you include only music files on your discs, use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three levels deep.
• The Emphasis is not supported.
• Multisession discs are not supported.
■ Levels of Music Files and Playback Order
Albums (folders) or tracks recorded in a data CD or USB storage device are recognized in hierarchical structure, and played back in ascending order of 1 to 7 in the example below.
When an album contains sub albums, tracks in the sub albums have priority for playback. (Example: Because album B contains sub album C, track 3 will be played after track 2 instead of track 6 or 7.)
Depending on the disc burner used during recording of the music files, the tracks may not be played in the order shown in the figure.
Example of levels:
| Disc or USB device | 1st level | 2nd level | 3rd level | 4th level |
| A | 1 | |||
| Folder | ||||
| B | File | |||
| 2 | ||||
| C | ||||
| 3 | ||||
| E | D | |||
| F | ||||
| G | 5 | |||
| 6 | ||||
| 7 |
Note:
For the data CD with music files recorded, the CD/HDD receiver can display up to eight levels deep. Also, depending on the restrictions of your personal computer, the display may be limited.
