1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-

out the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact

your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all

over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft

cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-

gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards

with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-

ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because

they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-

tering.

4. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE

FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-

TION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.

Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the

voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel

(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit

from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug

is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select

Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If

you do not intend to use the unit for an extended

period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

5. Preventing Hearing Loss

Caution

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head-

phones can cause hearing loss.

6. Batteries and Heat Exposure

Warning

Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall

not be exposed to excessive heat as sunshine, fire or

the like.

7. 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.

8. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original

packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-

nally bought it.

Disc 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 CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

* The CBX-500/CBX-600UKD 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 CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

CD Playback with Copy-control Function

Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not com-

ply with official CD standards. These are special discs

and cannot be played with the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

Playback of MP3 and WMA Discs

MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can

be played with the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

• Use discs which have been recorded following the

ISO9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported directory

depth is eight levels, the same as ISO9660 Level 1)

• Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system (HFS)

cannot be played.

• Up to 99 folders (including the root folder), and up to

499 folders (including root) and files can be recog-

nized and played.

Notes:

• A disc recorded with a recorder or personal computer

may not play in some cases. (Cause: Disc’s character-

istics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on player’s 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 play-

back properly.

Playback of MP3 Discs

• Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “. mp3”

are supported.

• This CBX-500/CBX-600UKD supports files recorded

in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 (32-320kbps), with the

sampling rate of 32/44.1/48kHz.

• Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32kbps and 320kbps

are supported. The time information during VBR

playback may not display correctly.

Playback of WMA Discs

• WMA stands for “Windows Media

Audio”, an audio

compression technology developed by Microsoft Cor-

poration USA.

• Only WMA files with the extension “.WMA” or

“.wma” are supported.

• Encode the WMA file with an application approved by

Microsoft Corporation USA. The file may not play-

back correct if encoded with an unapproved applica-

tion.

• Variable bitrates (VBR) between 64kbps and 160kbps

(32/44.1/48kHz) are supported. The time information

during VBR playback may not display correctly.

• Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played

back.

• WMA Pro, Lossless and Voice are not supported.

* Windows Media is a registered trademark or trademark of

Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or in other

countries.

Handling Discs

Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hold and edge.

Avoid touching the playback surface (surface with noth-

ing printed on it).

Do not attach paper or stickers, or write on the playback

or label surface of the disc. Take care not to scratch or

damage the disc.

Disc Notes—Continued

Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape,

rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs

with decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck

in the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD, or could damage the

CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed with

an inkjet printer in the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD for a

long time. The disc could get stuck in the CBX-500/

CBX-600UKD, or could damage the CBX-500/

CBX-600UKD.

Remove the disc from the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD

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 CBX-500/CBX-600UKD 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.

En-14

for the CBX-500. For the CBX-600UKD, see “Connect-

ing the DAB/FM Antenna (CBX-600UKD only)” on

page 15.

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor

FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect

commercially available outdoor FM antenna.

The CBX-500 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

(CBX-500 only)

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■ North American Model

■ European Model

Once the CBX-500 is ready for use, you’ll need to

tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi-

tion of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible

reception.

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 out-

door FM antenna instead (see “Connecting an Outdoor

FM Antenna (CBX-500 only)” on page 15).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

(CBX-500 only)

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use

only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Plug the AM loop antenna into the AM

antenna jack, as shown.

■ Adjusting the AM Loop Antenna

Adjust the location and posi-

tion of the AM antenna while

listening to an AM station to

achieve the best possible

reception.

Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

(CBX-500 only)

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.

Connecting the DAB/FM Antenna

(CBX-600UKD only)

The supplied DAB/FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Plug the DAB/FM antenna into the DAB/FM

ANTENNA jack, as shown.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix

the DAB/FM antenna into position.

Adjust the location and position of the DAB/FM

antenna while listening to a DAB/FM station to

achieve the best possible reception.

The adapter is not supplied with the CBX-500.

You’ll need to purchase an adapter compati-

ble with the CBX-500’s FM antenna jack.

Connecting a Portable Audio Device

The following diagram shows how to connect a portable audio device (e.g., MP3 player or MD player).

Connect the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD’s LINE IN jack on the rear panel to the portable audio device’s output jack.

Depending on the type of output jack on the portable audio device, you may need to purchase a suitable cable. The

CBX-500/CBX-600UKD’s LINE IN jack accepts a stereo miniplug.

Notes:

• Use a connecting cable that doesn’t have any attenuation resistors in it.

• If you connect a portable audio device’s headphone output to the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD’s LINE IN jack, turn down

the volume on the portable audio device before you connect it.

• If the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD seems quiet even with the volume turned up, try increasing the volume on the portable

audio device.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, complete and double-check all other connections.

• Turning on the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other elec-

trical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD into a different branch

circuit.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD. The supplied power cord is

designed exclusively for use with the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD and should not be used with any other equipment.

• Never disconnect the power cord from the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD 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-500/CBX-600UKD.

Connect the supplied power cord to the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD’s AC INLET.

Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet.

The STANDBY indicator lights up.

For the AccuClock function to work properly, the unit 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 14).

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 infor-

mation is being received, “AccuClock…” appears dimly on the display, as shown. Note that it may take several 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, 3 , and 14.

If for some reason the clock cannot be set automatically, see “Setting the Clock” on page 45.
