Connections
1 Connecting to an amplifier
Connect the CDR-205X to the CDR, TAPE or MD terminal on the amplifier.
• Connect the red connectors of the supplied audio connection cables to the R-channel terminals and the
white connectors to the L-channel terminals.
• Make sure the connectors are properly inserted all the way. If the connectors are not properly connected,
noise or improper operation may result.
• Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so cause
deterioration of the audio signal.
2 Connecting the z cable
• With Onkyo components that are equipped with an z connector, use the supplied z cable to connect
the z connector to the z connector of the CDR-205X.
• The z connectors are only effective if they are used in conjunction with an Onkyo amplifier with an z
connector. Do not connect to a component other than an Onkyo component with an z connector.
Doing so may damage the CDR-205X.
• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.
• Connecting the z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio
cables as well.
3 Connecting to the digital input
Using the digital input, you can record digital audio from compact disc players, DAT decks, and other digital
audio components that have a digital output. Connect using the supplied optical digital cable and either the
DIGITAL INPUT 1 and 2 input on the CDR-205X. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with
digital output terminals.
Notes:
• The optical digital terminal is provided with a protection cap installed. When necessary, remove this
protection cap and store it safely. When not using the optical digital input terminal, be sure to put the
cap back on the terminal.
• To perform digital input recording, you must connect to the optical digital input terminal. If the digital
connection is not made, "D.In Unlock" will appear in the display.
4 Connecting to the digital output
Using the digital output, you can connect to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT deck recorders, and other
digital audio recorders that have optical digital input connectors for making digital recordings. You can also
connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital input terminals.
