PrecautionsContinued

Before Using Your New Speakers

Place the speakers on sturdy, flat surfaces. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces where they may fall and cause damage will affect the sound quality.

Do not keep water or other liquids close to the speakers. If a liquid is spilled over them, the woofer and tweeter inside may be damaged.

Do not handle the speakers with wet or damp hands.

Speaker Precautions

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If theyre fed any of the following signals, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Audio from a cassette thats being fast-forwarded. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on. 4. Amplifier oscillation. 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables).

7. Microphone feedback.

The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they may be attracted toward the magnet, causing injury, or damage to the tweeter diaphragm.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue. In this case, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool thats too close to your TV or monitor.

Note: If the speakers are placed close to a TV or monitor,

due to the electromagnetic waves radiated by the TV or monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after your amplifier has been turned off. To prevent this, position the speakers away from your TV or monitor.

Package Contents

Make sure you have the following items:

* In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the same regardless of color.

You can improve the sound quality by attaching the included floor pads to raise the speakers off the surface and reduce the contact area. The floor pads also make the speakers stable and prevent them from slipping.

Remove the plastic film before using the remote controller.

When using the remote controller, point it toward the CD receivers remote control sensor, as shown below.

Use only a battery of the same type (CR2025).

Note: If the remote controller doesnt work reliably, try

replacing the batteries. If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long

time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Expired batteries 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.

Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) Notes

Precautions for Playback

Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label surface can be used.

Do not use discs designed for purposes other than audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal noise could damage the CD receiver.

* The CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW discs. Note that some discs may not playback because of the disc characteristics, scratches, contamination or the recording state. A disc recorded with an audio CD record will not playback unless it is finalized.

Never use discs which have a special shape (such as hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam and damage the CD receiver.

CD Playback with Copy-control Function

Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not comply with official CD standards. These are special discs and cannot be played with the CD receiver.

Playback of MP3 Discs

MP3 files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can be played with the CD receiver.

Use discs which have been recorded following the ISO 9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported directory depth is eight levels, the same as ISO 9660 Level 1)

Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system (HFS) cannot be played.

Discs must be closed (finalized). Only MP3 files with the extension .MP3 or . mp3

are supported. Files recorded using MPEG 1 audio layer 3 at

sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz and a constant bit rate (CBR) of 32320 kbps are supported.

A maximum of 299 folders can be recognized on a single CD. A maximum of 648 files can be recognized in a single folder.

Playback from USB Flash Drives

MP3 files recorded on a USB flash drive can be played with the CD receiver.

USB flash drives formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 are supported.

Only MP3 files with the extension .MP3 or .mp3 are supported.

Files recorded using MPEG 1 audio layer 3 at sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz and a constant bit rate (CBR) of 32320 kbps are supported.

A maximum of 299 folders can be recognized on a single USB flash drive. A maximum of 648 files can be recognized in a single folder.

Note: A disc recorded with a recorder or personal computer

may not play in some cases. (Cause: Discs characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on players lens, dew condensation, etc.)

A disc recorded on a personal computer may not play because of the application settings or environment. Record the disc with the proper format. (Contact the application maker for details.)

A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not playback properly.

Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) NotesContinued

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CD-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver.

Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.

Caring for Discs

If the disc is dirty, the CD receiver will have a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center outwards.

To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning spray for analog records or antistatic agents, etc. Never use volatile chemicals such as benzine or paint thinner as they can impregnate the disc surface.

Connecting Speakers

Connect the right speaker to the CD receivers right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative () terminals to only negative () terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Use the red line wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.

Do not connect anything other than the included speakers (D-T15). We cannot take responsibility for malfunctions or poor results if this CD receiver is used with any other speakers.

Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals. Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the CD receiver and/or speakers.

Connecting FM Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna. The CD receiver wont pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Note: Once your CD receiver is ready for use, youll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve

the best possible reception.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Note: 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 Its 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 FM Antenna

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Caution: Be careful not to injure yourself when using

thumbtacks.

Using the Timer

The CD receiver has a programmable timer for automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the CD receiver off after a specified period. You can also use the alarm playback function of your iPod to initiate timer playback on the CD receiver.

The timer can be used to start FM, CD, iPod/USB, or LINE playback at a specified time. You could, for example, use a timer to turn on the CD receiver every morning, just like a radio alarm clock. Note: If iPod is selected as the input source for the timer

settings, USB will play if only a USB flash drive is connected, and iPod/iPhone will play if an iPod/ iPhone is connected.

When connecting an iPod/iPhone to the iPod dock and the USB port respectively, the iPod/iPhone connected to the iPod dock will be selected as a priority and the iPod/iPhone connected to the USB port with the USB cable cannot be played.

Note: You must set the clock before you can program the

timer. When the CD receiver is turned on by the timer,

playback will begin with the most recently received station in the case of FM, the first song in the case of a CD or iPod/USB, and the current state of the connected device in the case of LINE.

Only one timer can be set.

1 Prepare the source that you want the timer to play. If you want FM to play, tune to the station you want to hear. If you want a CD to play, insert the disc. If youre using a USB flash drive rather than an iPod/iPhone, disconnect the iPod/iPhone from the iPod dock (see page 20). If you want to play a device connected to LINE, make settings on the connected device so that it will start playing when the timer operates.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the CD receiver, look for a solution in this section.

Cant turn on the CD receiver.

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (see page 15). Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the CD receivers AC INLET (see page 15). Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 30 minutes or more, then plug it in again.

The CD receiver turns off unexpectedly.

If the sleep timer has been set and the SLEEP indicator is shown on the display, the CD receiver will turn off automatically after a specified period (see page 26).

The CD receiver will automatically enter standby mode when Auto Standby has been set and launches (see page 24).

Theres no sound.

Make sure the CD receivers volume is not set too low (see page 16). Make sure the correct input source is selected (see page 16). Make sure the CD receiver is not muted (see page 16). Check all connections and correct as necessary (see pages 13 to 15). While headphones are connected, the speakers output no sound (see page 16). If theres no sound from an external device connected to LINE IN, check whether the external devices audio output

level (volume) might be too low.

The sound quality is not good.

Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 13). Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 15). The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as that from a TV. Try moving any such devices

away from the CD receiver. If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the CD receiver, such as a cellular phone thats being

used to make a call, the CD receiver may output noise. The CD receivers precision drive mechanism may emit a faint hissing sound while reading discs during playback or

when searching for tracks. You may be able to hear this noise in extremely quiet environments.

Audio output is intermittent when the CD receiver is subjected to vibration.

The CD receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location thats not subject to shock or vibration. Make sure that the included cork floor pads are attached to the speakers (see page 6).

Headphones output is intermittent or theres no sound.

This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones instruction manual for cleaning information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.

Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD receiver has been turned on and had time to warm up.

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so dont do it.

The disc will not play.

Make sure the disc has been loaded correctly, with the label-side facing up. Check to see if the surface of the disc is dirty (see page 12). If condensation is suspected, turn on the CD receiver and leave it for 2 to 3 hours before playing any discs. Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable (see page 12).

It takes a long time for playback to start.

It may take the CD receiver a while to read CDs that contain many tracks or files.

Playback jumps.

The CD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 13). The volume may be too loud. Turn down the volume (see page 16).

Cant play MP3 Discs.

Use only ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 format discs (see page 12). The disc has not been finalized. Finalize the disc. Check whether the file format is supported (see page 12). MP3 files without a .MP3 or .mp3 filename extension are not recognized.

Theres no sound.

Make sure your iPod/iPhone is properly seated in the CD receivers iPod dock. Even very thin iPod/iPhone cases can prevent the iPod/iPhone from seating properly on the Lightning connector, so always remove any case before inserting your iPod/iPhone (see page 20).

Your iPod/iPhone may not work soon after it is connected to the CD receiver. In this case, wait a few moments until your iPod/iPhone wakes up.

Depending on your iPod/iPhone model, its software version, or the content youre playing, some functions may not work as expected (see page 20).

The iPod/iPhone might not be connected if its power is turned off, or if it is insufficiently charged. Check the state of your iPod/iPhone.

The message No Device is displayed.

Try reconnecting your iPod/iPhone.

TroubleshootingContinued

Cant recharge the iPod/iPhone.

Check the iPod/iPhone connection. Depending on the state of your iPod/iPhone, the CD receiver might not be able to charge it. Try using the dedicated

charging method provided for the iPod/iPhone.

Cant access the music files on a USB flash drive.

Make sure that an iPod/iPhone is not connected to the iPod dock. If an iPod/iPhone is connected, disconnect it. The CD receiver supports USB flash drives only. Note, however, that playback may not be possible with some USB

flash drives. Make sure that the USB flash drive has been formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. USB flash drives with built-in USB hub functionality are not supported. This CD receiver cannot play files other than MP3 files.

The message No Device is displayed.

Try reconnecting your USB flash drive.

Cant play MP3 files.

MP3 files without a .MP3 or .mp3 filename extension are not recognized. Check whether the file format is supported (see page 12). The MP3 files copyright option is on. Dont use the copyright option.

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesnt preset all stations, or the FM ST indicator doesnt light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

Check the antenna connections (see page 14). Change the position of the antenna (see page 14). Move the CD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer. Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference. The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna. Switch to Mono mode and listen in mono. The FM ST indicator will go off (see page 22). If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 14).

If a power failure occurs or the power cable is disconnected.

A brief power outage will not cause the contents of memory to be lost. However if the power cable is left disconnected for an extended period of time, only the clock settings (including the timer) will be reset. Please make these settings again as necessary (see pages 22 and 23).

Cant adjust the frequency of the radio.

Use the remote controllers TUNING [e]/[r] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 22).

RDS doesnt work.

The FM station you are tuned to doesnt support RDS. The radio signal is weak. Change the position of the antenna. If that doesnt work, install an outdoor FM antenna (see

page 14).

The remote controller doesnt work properly.

Replace the battery with a new one. The remote controller is too far away from the CD receiver, or theres an obstacle between them (see page 6). The CD receivers remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light or sunlight). The CD receiver is located behind the tinted glass doors of an audio rack or cabinet.

TroubleshootingContinued

No sound is heard from your turntable.

Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer. If the turntable doesnt have a phono equalizer built-in, you must provide one.

The timer doesnt work.

Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see page 24). Timed operation will fail if the CD receiver is on at the specified On time, so make sure its set to Standby (see

page 25). If you press the [TIMER] button while a timed operation is in progress, the timer will be cancelled. The volume setting for timer playback will be the volume that was set before the CD receiver entered standby mode.

Set the appropriate volume beforehand. If a power failure occurs and the clock stops, the timer will also be reset. Reset the clock, and then make timer settings.

The display indicates - - : - - when you press the [CLOCK CALL] button.

A power failure has occurred, and the clock has stopped. Set the clock again (see page 24).

Standby power consumption.

Charging will begin when you connect an iPod/iPhone, causing the power consumption to increase. Charging will occur even if the CD receiver enters standby mode.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

The CD receiver contains a microcomputer. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to malfunction or lock up. In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least 30 minutes, and then plug it back in again. If this doesnt resolve the issue, reset the CD receiver to its factory defaults (see page 27).
