Recording (Transferring Data)
You can record tracks into the CD/HDD receiver’s HDD (hard disk drive). Also, you can transfer the music data stored 
in the CD/HDD receiver to your digital audio player and USB storage device, and make an FTP connection with your 
computer*. See “Transferring Data” on page 51.
*  Only for personal computers with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Service Pack 3, or Microsoft Windows Vista installed.
■ USB storage devices and digital audio 
players
The CD/HDD receiver supports the USB storage devices 
such as USB flash memory and USB hard disk drive, and 
also supports various kinds of digital audio players. 
However, they are limited to the devices that support the 
USB Mass Storage Class*.
*
The USB Mass Storage Class is a standard established for con-
necting the large capacity memory devices (mass storage 
devices) to the USB port of a computer. Because the USB 
devices conforming to this standard are recognized as external 
memory devices without the need for special drivers or soft-
ware, even a digital audio player can be handled in the same way 
as an external memory device.
Notes:
• For the functions of USB devices, see their instruction 
manuals.
• Recording and transferring cannot be performed between 
the 
CD/HDD receiver and the iPod. Only the playback 
can be performed.
• When the AC power adapter is attached to the digital 
audio player or the USB storage device, Onkyo recom-
mend that you connect the AC power adapter to the 
domestic power supply. When using the batteries, check 
that the remaining battery level is sufficient. Please note 
that Onkyo is not responsible for the malfunctions, 
recording failures, or music data damages resulting from 
insufficient battery power.
• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss 
or damage to data stored on a USB mass storage device 
when that device is used with the CD/HDD receiver.
Onkyo recommend that you back up your important 
music files beforehand.
• Recording may be slow depending on the USB device.
• If many tracks are stored in the USB flash memory 
(approx. 60,000 files or more), it may take some time for 
the recording operation.
• When you record to an SD memory card using a memory 
card reader/writer, you may not be able to record depend-
ing on the memory card because the access time is too 
slow.
USB Mass Storage Device Requirements
• USB devices formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32 file 
system are supported.
• If the storage device has been partitioned, only music 
files in the first partition can be played.
• Each folder may contain up to 60,000 music files, and 
folders may be nested up to eight levels deep.
• USB hubs and USB devices with hub functions are not 
supported.
Perform the setting of the recording beforehand by refer-
ring to “Setting for recording” on the next page.
When you transfer the data to the digital audio player or 
the USB storage device, connect it to the USB port of the 
CD/HDD receiver.
For the details on how to use the USB device, see the 
instruction manual attached to the device.
Notes:
• Do not connect the CD/HDD receiver’s USB port to a USB 
port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be 
played through the CD/HDD receiver in this way.
• In the process of transferring the data to the digital audio 
player or the USB storage device, do not disconnect the 
USB cable. Malfunction of the connection device or the 
CD/HDD receiver may occur.
• The recording speed varies depending on the recording 
format and bit rate.
