Installing the Remote Controller’s Batteries
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the CDC-3.4’s remote control sensor,
as shown.
Remote control sensor
CDC-3.4
Notes: · The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
· If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.
· Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.
· If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
· Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
30 30
Approx. 16 ft. (5 m)
Notes: · The remote controller may not work reliably if the
CDC-3.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type
fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the CDC-3.4.
· If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or
the CDC-3.4 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the
remote controller may not work reliably.
· Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the
buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
· The remote controller may not work reliably if the CDC-3.4 is installed in a
rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the
CDC-3.4.
· The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and
the CDC-3.4’s remote control sensor.
10
Connecting the CDC-3.4
Audio Connections
· Read the manuals supplied with your other audio equipment.
· Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio connections.
The CDC-3.4 has analog and digital (coaxial and optical) audio outputs. The
digital outputs offer the best audio quality, so if your digital recorder or
amp has a digital input you should use it.
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
If your hi-fi amp or AV receiver doesn’t have a digital input, use the supplied RCA/phono audio connecting cable to connect the CDC-3.4’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to your amp’s analog CD inputs.
Notes:
· RCA/phono audio connecting cables are usually color
coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel inputs and outputs, and use white plugs to
connect left-channel inputs and outputs.
· Push each plug in all the way to make a good connection (loose
Right!
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
· To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
Wrong!
cords and speaker cables.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital input, use a
commercially available coaxial or optical fiber digital audio cable to connect
the CDC-3.4’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT to your recorder. You
can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp that has a digital
input, for the best audio quality.
Notes: · With MP3 tracks, the digital outputs only work if the
sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
Optical Digital Output The CDC-3.4’s optical digital connector has a
shuttertype cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes when
it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when
inserting and removing.

Connecting the CDC-3.4–Continued
Connections
With (Remote Interactive) you can control the CDC-3.4 together with your other
-compatible Integra/Onkyo AV components. With some Integra/Onkyo AV receivers
you can use one remote controller to control all your Integra/Onkyo components
and use the following special functions:
Auto Power On If your CDC-3.4 is connected to an -compatible Integra/Onkyo AV
receiver, when you turn on the CDC-3.4, the AV receiver will turn on and
select the CDC-3.4 as the input source.
Direct Change If your CDC-3.4 is connected to an -compatible Integra/Onkyo AV
receiver, when you start playback on the CDC-3.4, the AV receiver will select
the CDC-3.4 as the input source.
Auto Power Off When you set an -compatible Integra/Onkyo AV receiver to
Standby, all other AV components connected via enter Standby as well.
Dimmer When you dim the display brightness on an -compatible Integra/Onkyo AV
component, the displays on all other AV components connected via are dimmed as
well.
To use the functions, you need to connect one of the CDC-3.4’s connectors to
an connector on another AV component in your system by using the supplied
cable. See the manuals supplied with your other -compatible AV components for
more information.
Notes: · Use only cables for connections. · To use you must make an analog
RCA/phono
connection between your CDC-3.4 and Integra/ Onkyo AV receiver even if they
are connected digitally. · The CDC-3.4 has two connectors. You can connect
either one to your Integra/Onkyo AV receiver. The other connector is for
connecting additional compatible components. · Connect the CDC-3.4’s connector
to only Integra/ Onkyo AV components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s AV
components may cause them to malfunction. · Some Integra/Onkyo -compatible AV
components may not support the special functions described here.
To use you must make an analog audio connection (RCA/phono) between the
CDC-3.4 and your other Integra/Onkyo equipment even if
they are connected digitally.

MP3 & APD (Auto Power Down) Preferences
Setting the MP3 & APD Preferences
This section explains how to set various preferences for MP3 discs and the APD
(Auto Power Down) function. Preferences are divided into two groups: Basic and
Extra. You must use the buttons on the CDC-3.4 to set these preferences, not
the remote controller.
1. Stop playback. If the Memory function is on, turn it off.
2. Press and hold the Stop [] button until “SETTING” appears on the display
(about 4 seconds).
3. Press the Stop [] button again. “BASIC ITEMS” appears on the display.
4. Use the []/[] buttons to select “BASIC ITEMS” or “EXTRA ITEMS,” and then
press the Stop [] button.
5. Use the []/[] buttons to select a setting for the first preference, and
then press the Stop [] button. The preference is set and the next preference
appears.
6. Repeat steps 5 to set the other preferences. When all the preferences in
the group have been set, the previous display reappears. If you want to cancel
this procedure at anytime, press the [Standby] button. The CDC-3.4 will enter
Standby mode.
The Basic and Extra preferences are explained in the following sections. The
settings available for each preference are shown in parenthesis, with the
default setting on the left.
Basic Items
DISC NAME (DISPLAY/NOT DISPLAY) This preference determines whether or not the
disc name is displayed when an MP3 disc is read.
TRACK NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL) This preference determines whether or not the
track name scrolls across the display when an MP3 track is selected.
FOLDER NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL) This preference determines whether or not the
folder name scrolls across the display when an MP3 folder is selected.
BAD NAME (REPLACE/NOT REPLACE) This preference determines whether or not track
and folder names that contain undisplayable characters are replaced with
“TRACK n” or “FOLDER n,” “n” being the track or folder number. When set to NOT
REPLACE, displayable characters are displayed and underscores are used in
place of any undisplayable characters. For ID3 tags, underscores are used in
place of undisplayable characters regardless of this preference.
24
APD (ON/OFF) This preference turns the Auto Power Down function ON or OFF.
When set to ON, the Auto Power Down function will automatically set the
CDC-3.4 to Standby when playback has stopped and there’s no operation for 30
minutes. The default setting for North American models is OFF. For other
models it’s ON.
Note: Track and folder names are scrolled in Navigation mode (page 17)
regardless of the TRACK NAME and FOLDER NAME preferences.
Extra Items
ID3 VER 1 (READ/NOT READ) This preference determines whether or not version
1.0/ 1.1 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT READ, version 1.0/1.1
tags will not be displayed.
ID3 VER 2 (READ/NOT READ) This preference determines whether or not version
2.3/ 2.4 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT READ, version 2.3/2.4
ID3 tags will not be displayed.
CD-EXTRA (AUDIO/MP3) This preference applies to CD Extra discs and determines
whether music in the audio session or MP3 tracks in the data session are
played.
JOLIET (USE SVD/ISO9660) This preference applies to MP3 discs in Joliet format
and determines whether the CDC-3.4 reads the SVD data or treats the disc as an
ISO 9660 disc. Normally, this preference doesn’t need to be changed. SVD
(Supplementary Volume Descriptor) supports long file and folder names and
characters other than letters and numbers. Some CD burning software refers to
the Joliet format as “Windows format.”
Initializing the MP3 Preferences
This section explains how to initialize the MP3 preferences to their default
values. You must use the buttons on the CDC-3.4 for this procedure, not the
remote controller.
1. Stop playback. If the Memory function is on, turn it off.
2. Press and hold the Stop [] button until “SETTING” appears on the display
(about 4 seconds).
3. Press the []/[] button. “INITIALIZE” appears on the display.
4. Press the Stop [] button. “CANCEL” appears on the display.
5. Use the []/[] buttons to select “EXECUTE.” If you want to cancel this
procedure, select “CANCEL.”
6. Press the Stop [] button. The MP3 preferences are initialized,
“INITIALIZED” appears on the display, and then the CDC-3.4 enters Standby
mode.

discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: disc burner
characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty. See the
manual supplied with your disc burner for more information. Condensation or
dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
· The CDC-3.4 supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
· The CDC-3.4 does not support disc types not listed.
· Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, because
you may damage the CDC-3.4.
· Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs with
peeling labels, or discs with custommade labels or stickers. Doing so may
damage the CDC-3.4 and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.
Discs Made on Personal Computers
Discs made on personal computers, including those of a compatible format, may
not work properly in the CDC-3.4 because of incorrect settings in the disc
burning software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc burning software
for additional compatibility information.
MP3 Compatibility
· MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo or Joliet compliant.
Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode 2 XA Form 1.
· Folders can be up to eight levels deep.
· MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format with a sampling rate of
between 8 kHz and 48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps (128
kbps recommended). Incompatible files cannot be played.
· Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended, however, variable bit-rate (VBR)
MP3 files between 8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times may
display incorrectly.)
· MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” file name extension. MP3 files
without the proper extension will not be recognized. To prevent noise and
malfunction, do not use these extensions for other types of files.
· On a single disc, the CDC-3.4 can recognize a total of 499 files and
folders, with 99 being the maximum number of folders. Files and folders in
excess of this cannot be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is
very complicated, the CDC-3.4 may not be able to read or play all of the MP3
files on the disc.
· Disc, file and folder names may contain up to 32 characters.
· The maximum time that can be displayed for a single track is 99 minutes and
59 seconds.
· The remaining time cannot be displayed when playing MP3 files.
· MP3 file and folder names (excluding the extension) are shown on the
display.
· Multisession discs are supported, however, some multisession discs may take
a long time to load and some may not load at all. When burning CDs we
recommend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once), and select “Disc
Close.”
· Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD Extra disc is played.
However, you can set the CDC-3.4 so that it plays any MP3 files in the data
session of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session contains no MP3 tracks,
the audio session will be played regardless. See “MP3 & APD (Auto Power Down)
Preferences” on page 24 for more information.
· The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1 and 2.3/2.4. Versions
2.2/2.5 and later are not supported. Normally, version 2.3/2.4 tags have
priority and will be displayed regardless of the ID3 VER 1 preference on page
24.
· For ID3 version 2 tags, information in the first 2,048 bytes at the
beginning of the file are recognized. We recommend that you include only
title, artist name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Compressed,
encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be displayed.

Disc Notes–Continued
Notes: · With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain
many files and folders, and files other than MP3s, it may take a long time to
read the disc. We recommend that you include only MP3 files on your discs, use
about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three levels deep. · In this
manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks. Handling Discs · Never touch the
underside of a disc. Always hold discs by the edge, as shown.
Underside
· Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs · For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound quality and should be removed as follows. Using
a clean soft cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a
circular direction.
