Precautions
1.
Recording Copyright
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted
material is illegal without the permission of the copy-
right holder.
2.
AC Fuse
The AC fuse inside the CR-505DAB is not user-service-
able. If you cannot turn on the CR-505DAB, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
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.

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.
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.
6.
Installing This Unit
• 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.
• 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.
7.
Moisture Condensation
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.
• 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.
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:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
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.
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 in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
