@ ONKYO Single-Bit D/A Converters
instead of the “muiti-bit” D/A converters employed in many CD players, the DX-708 and DX-706 use an innovative “single-bit” system.
It does away with the jadder network required by conventional “high-bit” converters and, therefore, needs none of the delicate “trimming”
which such networks require to achieve even adequate linearity. The operating principle of the sing/e bit system assures far better linearity
than conventional D/A converters can ever achieve.
@ Zero Shift Noise Shaper
The noise attenuation characteristics produced by the digital feedback configurations used in conventional noise shapers are marked
by @ continuous reduction from the high frequency range down through the low frequencies. In contrast to this. ONKYO’s new Zero
shift Noise Shaper employs a different feedback factor to produce not a continuous siope, but an attenuation pattern in which noise
is reduced to zero in the middle of the frequency range.
The practical effect of this modification is a measurable reduction in residual noise in the audio frequency range, compared with con-
ventional designs. The resulting improvement in the CD player's S/N ratio means more dynamic music reproduction, allowing the listener
to hear delicate nuances which might have been missed otherwise. ONKYO’s Zero Shift Noise Shaper heightens the smail signal fidelity
of the single-bit D/A conversion process for improved musicality with any program source.
® Complementary Distortion Canceler
AccuPuise Quartz System
® Center Mounted Disc Tray
In the DX-708 and DX-706, the central location of the disc drive mechanism serves to divide the digital and analog circuit blocks into
two discrete sections. The DX- 708 is even equipped with separate power supplies for the two sections, offering further protection against
mutual interference. This arrangement helps to prevent DS} (Digital Signal Interference) from leaking into the analog stage and also
contributes to improved stability for the chassis as whole.

1. Warranty Card 4. Care
The serial number is written on the rear panel of this unit. Copy From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear panels
the serial number and model number onto your warranty card and the cabinet with a silicon or other soft cloth. For heavier
and keep it in a safe place. dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent
and water, wring it out dry, and wipe away the dirt. Following
this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough
material, thinners, alcoho! or other chemica! solvents or cloths
since these may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
2. Do Not Touch the Player with Wet Hands
Do not handie the player or power cord when your hands are
wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the player cabinet,
take the player to an authorized service station for inspection.
5. Points to Remember
@ 'f the player is brought from a cold environment to a warm
one or Is In a cold room that is quickly heated, dew may form
on the pickup, preventing proper operation. in this case,
remove the disc and leave the power ON for about one hour
to remove the dew.
@ Always close the disc tray when not loading or unloading
discs to protect delicate internal parts from dust.
@ When transporting the player, be careful not to bump it .
3. Location of the Player
@ Place the Player in-a Well-Ventilated Location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides
of the player especially when it is placed in an audio rack.
If ventilation is blocked, the player may overheat and mal-
function.
@ Do not expose the player to direct sunlight or heating units
as the player's internal temperature may rise and shorten the
life of the pickup.
@® Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected
by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing
the unit on or above one of the speakers.
® Be sure the player is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may mal-
function.
@® Do Not Place Near Tuners and TV Sets.
lf placed next to a TV or other tuner, it may cause reception
interference resulting tn some noise in the TV or tuner output.

Depending on the disc in play, memorizing of a level which is
different from the maximum audible level could occur. This is due
to the CD player’s microprocessor memorizing inaccurate infor-
mation because of flaws in the disc itself, or recording conditions.
Under such circumstances, the recording level for the cassette tape
may be entirely low, or else distortion or similar symptoms could
arise on account of excessively high signal inputs. To avoid this,
be sure to reset the recording level of the cassette deck in accordance
with the symptoms.
Press the PEAK SEARCH button.

Using the remote control transmitter
ee
1. Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter 1s not going
ta be used for a jong time.
2. The batteries of the remote contro! transmitter must be repiaced
periodically.
3. This untt uses infrared rays. Therefore, commands may not be
received properly if the front panei of this unit is exposed to
bright light. To prevent this from occurring, place this unit so
that it is not directly exposed to bright light.
4. lf this unit is placed inside an audio rack behind a glass door,
the door should not have colored glass or have any decorations
on it, since thts could shorten the range or prevent commands
from being received.
5. Use of other infrared remote control devices in the same room
may cause interference.
6. The transmitter operates up to a distance of about five meters
(16 feet). The transmitting window must always be pointed at
the reception window wher a command is sent to the CD player.
7. If this remote controi transmitter does not operate properly,
confirm that the batteries are not dead. If the probiern persists,
contact your ONKYO Service Center.
Transmitter Battery Insertion
CD) Push the battery cover on the rear of the transmitter in the di-
rection of the arrow and lift it up.
(2) Load the two batteries that came with the transmitter or two

Use of Batteries
@ The remote contral transmitter is powered by two batteries.
Before using this unit for the first time, insert the two batteries
(included) as shown in the diagram.
@ Average battery life is about one year. This period may be shorter
depending on the frequency of use and environment ({temper-
ature and humidity) in which the remote control transmitter ts
used.
@® |f the remote contro/ transmitter does not operate even though
front panel controis function normally, the batteries should be
repiaced. Use only batteries listed in the following chart.
Type
Do not feave an expired battery in the case as It may leak
or damage the battery case.
When inserting the batteries, be sure the (+) and (-) ends
are properly aligned.
Do not use nickel-cadmium (rechargeable) batteries.
Do not use one specified (manganese) battery and one al-
kaline battery at the same time.
Replace both batteries at once; do not use one old and one
new battery together.
