Page 17: Connecting Antennas
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 receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Page 18 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.
Page 19: Connecting Speakers
Connecting Speakers Connecting Your Speakers • Connect the right speaker to the CD 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 receiver. Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD receiver.
Page 20: Connecting Other Components
Connecting Other Components 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.

Page 21: Connecting An Onkyo Cassette Deck
• To use u, you must connect the Onkyo cassette deck to the CD receiver with an u cable and an analog audio cable (RCA). In addition, the Input Display for the MD/TAPE jacks must be set to “TAPE”. Since this is the default setting, unless you’ve changed it, it can be left as it is (see page 27).
Page 22: Connecting An Onkyo Md Recorder
• To use u, you must connect the Onkyo MD recorder to the CD receiver with an u cable and an analog audio cable (RCA). In addition, the Input Display for the MD/TAPE jacks must be set to “MD” (see page 27).

What can you do with u? • Connecting an Onkyo RI Dock to the CD receiver with an u cable allows you to control the RI Dock with the CD receiver’s remote controller. In addition, when playback is started on the RI Dock, the CD receiver will automatically select it as the input source.
Page 24: First Time Setup (European Models Only)
First Time Setup (European models only) Setting the Clock with the AccuClock Function To use the AccuClock 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 17). The very first time you turn on the CD receiver, the AccuClock function automatically sets the CD receiver’s clock based on the CT (Clock Time) information present in an RDS radio broadcast.
