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

Brown: Live

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.

2. To prevent the laser from being exposed, do not

remove the cover. Refer servicing to qualiﬁed per-

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.

• 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.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

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.

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.

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).

ANTENNA

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

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.

TV/FM antenna splitter

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the DAB antenna into position.

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

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

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.

Use the Up/Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select

the input source, and then press [ENTER].

• 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.

Audio CD, MP3

MP3

CD-RW

• 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.

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.

• The ID3 tag version 1.0 is supported.

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.
