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. Stack-

ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause

warping, scratches, or other damage.

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor

FM antenna and DAB antenna (CR-715DAB only), and

how to connect commercially available outdoor FM

antenna.

The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without

an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna

to use the tuner.

Connecting the DAB Antenna (CR-715DAB

only)

Screw the supplied DAB antenna’s plug

onto the DAB ANTENNA jack.

Once the CD Receiver is ready for use, you’ll

need to tune into a DAB station and adjust the

position of the DAB antenna to achieve the best

possible reception.

ﬁx the DAB antenna into position.

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.

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.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

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 Antennas —Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-

door 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 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.

■ 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.

on the portable audio device before you connect it.

• When you connect a portable audio device to the CD receiver, make sure you connect it to the LINE 2 IN jack and

not the adjacent PHONES jack. If you connect to the PHONES jack by mistake, it may cause the PHONES output to

malfunction.

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

• Turning on the CD receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment

on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CD receiver into a different branch circuit.

Setting the Clock with the AccuClock Function

To use theAccuClock function, the CD receiver must be able to receive RDS radio stations, which means an FM antenna

must be connected. Be sure to connect an FM antenna before attempting to use this function (see page 14).

The very ﬁrst time you turn on the CD receiver, theAccuClock function automatically sets the CD receiver’s clock based

on the CT (Clock Time) information present in an RDS radio broadcast. While the clock is being set, “Wait…” ﬂashes

on the display, as shown. Note that it may take up to 5 minutes to set the clock.

When the clock has been set, the message “Clock Adjusted” scrolls across the display, then the day and time are dis-

played for a while, 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 AccuClock to Use a Speciﬁc Station” on page 47

and “Setting the Clock Manually” on page 48.

Using the Timers

The CD receiver has ﬁve timers: four programmable tim-

ers for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer

for turning the CD receiver off after a speciﬁed period.

Timer Examples

The following examples highlight some of the ways in

which you can use the timers.

The timers can be used with other Onkyo components

“Days Set” instead of “Every Day” and specify

“MON–FRI.”

About the Timers

The various settings for the four programmable timers

are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see

page 53.

■ Play

Play mode can be used to start playback at a speciﬁed

time on the CD receiver or another Onkyo component

that’s connected to the CD receiver with an

cable.

You could use a Play timer to turn on the CD receiver

every morning, just like a radio alarm.

Timer Priority

■ Rec

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:

Rec mode can be used to start playback on one compo-

nent and start recording on another component at a spec-

iﬁed time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo

cassette deck or MD recorder) must be connected to the

CD receiver with an

timer to record your favorite radio show every day.

Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00

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

Playback and Recording Components

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:

The playback component can be the CD receiver (FM,

DAB or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cas-

sette deck, etc) that’s connected to the CD receiver with
