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 malfunction.
¢ 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
malfunction.
¢ Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception
interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner
output.
Care
From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier 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, alcohol or other chemical solvents or
cloths since these may damage the finish or remove the panel
lettering.
Points to Remember
e Ifthe player is brought from a cold environment to a
warm one or is in a cold room that is quickly heated,
condensation 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 condensa-
tion.
¢ 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.

Connecting Onkyo Components for RI
Operation
When
the
DX-C311/C211/C111
is
connected
to
an
amplifier
or
receiver
with
the
Onkyo
FRI
mark,
you
can
operate
it
by
pressing
the
CD
operation
buttons
on the
amplifier or
receiver’s
supplied
remote
control.
When connecting Onkyo products, it is
necessary to attach the FRI cable to be able
to use the remote control of the amplifier
(or receiver) to control the entire system.
1. To use this CD player with an amplifier
(or receiver), cassette tape deck and
tuner with the FRI mark, insert the
remote control cable plugs into the
REMOTE CONTROL jacks as shown.
As the exact connection sequence of the
fRI cable is unimportant, you can
connect from the amplifier (or receiver)
to either the tuner, the cassette tape
deck or to the compact disc player.
To operate correctly the remote control
must face towards the remote control
sensor of the amplifier or receiver.
NOTE:
¢ The upper and lower fRI remote
control jacks have the same function.
* Remote control operation is not
possible when only the remote control
cable is connected — the audio
connection cables must also be
connected.
¢ An fRI remote control cable equipped
with a 1/8" (3.5mm) diameter miniature
two-conductor phone plug is included
with the DX-C311/C211/C111 and with
every tuner and compact disc player
with the (RI mark.
