FEATURES

1. Various copying functions

• This set is equipped with a number of convenient copying
modes: “Disc dubbing” for copying entire discs, “Make CD
dubbing” for copying an entire disc then automatically
finalizing, “1-track dubbing” for copying single tracks, and
“Scan record dubbing” for selecting the tracks you want to
record while scanning CDs and copying the selected tracks.

• One of two copying speeds can be selected: normal speed
and double speed.

2. Recording from external devices

• This set is equipped with three convenient synchronized
recording functions: “Disc synchro recording” for recording
an album on the source side, “Make CD recording” for
automatically finalizing after synchronized recording of a disc,
and “Track synchro recording” for recording track at a time. It
is also possible to record manually.

3. An abundance of playback functions

• Thanks to the combination of the CD and CD-R units, this set
is equipped with three different play modes: “Relay play” for
relay playback between the disc in the CD unit and the disc in
the CD-R unit, “Mix play” for programmed or random playback
of the disc in the CD unit and the disc in the CD-R unit as if
they were a single disc, and “Dual play” with which the CD
and CD-R units can be operated independently.

• This set is equipped with the programmed play, random play,
and all-track, 1-track and A-B repeat play modes.

4. Rich Variety of Digital Input Jacks

• In addition to the analog input jacks, this unit is equipped with
a total of two digital input jacks. There is one optical digital
input jack for use with digital sources such as CD, MD and
satellite broadcasts, and there is one digital coaxial input jack.

5. Equipped with Sampling Rate Converter

• This converter permits direct digital input recording from DAT
or satellite broadcasts (32 kHz, 48 kHz) which have sampling
frequencies that differ from that of the 44.1 kHz used with
CD.

6. Text Entry and Display Function

• The album title and the track title for individual tracks can be
entered and displayed for recorded CD-R/RW discs.

7. Equipped with

®

, HDCD®(High Definition

Compatible Digital

®

) decoder (CD unit)

• During track selection, during search and when the recorder
sustains a strong impact, the disc’s rotational speed
changes greatly, causing a small noise to be emitted. This is
not a malfunction of the recorder.

• If the CD recorder is operated while an FM or AM broadcast
is being received, there may be noise in the FM or AM
reception. Please switch the power to the CD recorder off at
such times.

• The CDR-W1500 has a broad dynamic range. Please
exercise caution when turning up the volume on the
amplifier in cases when the playback volume is low. If the
volume is turned up too high, it could damage the speakers.

• Placing this recorder or its connection cords near a TV or
other audio device could cause a humming sound to be
emitted. If this occurs, relocate the recorder or reroute the
connection cords.

• Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before moving
it. The disc could be damaged if left in the recorder while it
is being moved.

• Do not place any object in the tray in the position where the
disc is loaded, or open and close the tray with anything
inside. Foreign objects in the tray could damage the play
mechanism.

• Do not move the recorder from a cold place to a warm place
suddenly. If the recorder is cold when brought into a warm
room, condensation could form, preventing proper operation
of the recorder. If condensation does form on the recorder
when it is brought into a warm room, wait at least 30
minutes before use.

CD Text Discs

Methods of Recording to Disc

2 CD-R Discs

• CD-R discs incorporate a pigment layer for recording.
When exposed to the recording laser, a change in form
occurs at the boundary of this layer and the plastic layer
resulting in the recording of the signal. The recorded
information is maintained until the end of the life of the
disc.

• After recording, finalized discs can be played on ordinary
CD players.

2 CD-RW Discs

• CD-RW discs incorporate a phase change layer. The
recording process causes this layer to change from a
crystal (reflective) condition to an amorphous (non­crystal) condition.

• Recorded information can be erased from CD-RW discs.
Deletion can take the form of deleting all of the disc
tracks or only the specified tracks working back from the
last track of the disc.

• Finalized CD-RW discs can be played on CD players
designed for use with CD-RW discs as well as on CD
recorders.

C

NOTE:

This CD recorder uses the semiconductor laser. To allow you to
enjoy music at a stable operation, it is recommended to use this in a
room of 10 °C (50 °F) ~ 30 °C (86 °F).

• Place of installation

To ensure sufficient ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm
between the front, sides and back of the unit and walls or other
objects which may obstruct ventilation.

2 Recording from a digital input

• When performing digital recording of a CD, track numbers are updated when the first sound is detected after the track
switches.

• When making a digital recording from a MD, a track number that is the same as the original track number will automatically
be associated.

• When recording from a DAT, track numbers are given when track switching is detected using the start IDs.

• When recording from a satellite broadcasts or other digital equipment, the detection of a blank portion of about 3 seconds or

longer, the same as when making recordings with an analog input, will result in the operation of the auto track function and
the automatic association of the track number.

• The track number might not switch correctly when there is a lot of noise in the blank portion between tracks.

• The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track.

Approximately 3 seconds

NOTES:

• When recording an analog source that contains a very low level signal within the track, or a digital source other than
CD/MD/DAT, switch off the auto track function then make a manual recording and associate the track numbers manually.

• When the recording level is set too low while recording an analog source or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, the
track numbers might not be associated at the correct position. Please set a suitable recording level.

Digital

★ Recording in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g., disc Synchro-recording, track Synchro-recording, and auto finalization recording)

results in the track numbers being automatically associated. The manner in which the track numbers are associated will differ as
follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the conditions.

2 Recording from an analog input

Track numbers will automatically be associated when a blank portion of about 3
seconds or longer is detected.

• When the input signal is affected by noise or there is some other interference,
the track number might not change at the correct position.

• The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the
track.

✽ The on/off setting of the auto track function is possible in manual recording. (See

“Setting of the Auto Track Mark” on Page 10.)

Finalization Processing of CD-R Discs

After the recording of a CD-R disc is completed, finalization
processing is required to enable it to be played on an ordinary
CD player.

Finalization Processing of CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played on an ordinary CD player,
even with finalization processing. Playback is possible
only on CD recorders or players suited for use with CD­RW discs.They can only be played on a player that is
suited for use with CD-RW discs. Also note that CD-RW
discs can be erased after being finalized.

NOTES:

• Once a CD-R disc has been finalized, additional
recording will no longer be possible.

• The information that has been recorded to a CD­R disc cannot be erased.

Unrecorded

DISC HANDLING AND PRECAUTIONS

Disc Handling

Avoid touching the surface of the disc when inserting or
removing it.

Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
recording surface.

Disc Cleaning

2 When the disc has become marked with fingerprints or dirt,

wipe it clean before use. The dirt will not affect the signal of
the disc, but the sound quality may drop and there may be
breaks in the sound. Note that when the surface of a CD­R/RW disc is dirty, it may not record properly.

2 To wipe the disc clean, use one of the disc cleaning sets

available on the market or a soft cloth.

Lightly wipe in the direction
from centre to outside.

Do not wipe in a circular
manner.

Handling Precautions

• Do not allow fingerprints, oil, or dirt to adhere.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface, especially when

removing or returning the disc to the case.

• Do not bend the disc.

• Do not heat the disc.

• Do not enlarge the center hole.

• Do not write on the label surface (i.e., printed side) with a

ballpoint pen or pencil.

• Water droplets may form on the surface of the disc when it
is suddenly brought from a cold place such as outdoors to a
warm place. If this happens, do not dry the disc with a hair
dryer.

Storage Precautions

• Be sure to eject the disc after playing.

• Always return the disc to its case to avoid dust, scratches,

and misshaping.

• Do not leave the disc in the following places:

1. Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for long
periods.

2. Where there is a lot of dampness and dust.

3. Where it will be exposed to heat such as from a heater.

NOTES:

• Do not attach commercially available disc labels or
other seals on the disc. Doing so may make it
impossible to record or play the disc properly.

Precautions When Loading Discs

• Only load one disc. Loading two or more discs in a layer will
cause breakdown and may also scratch the discs.

• Discs of the 8 cm size should be carefully aligned with the
recessed disc guide area and loaded without the use of an
adapter. If not properly loaded, the disc may fall out or the
disc holder may cease to open.

• Be careful not to get your finger caught when the disc
holder is closing.

RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO THE CD-R/RW STANDARDS

★ Standards concerned with CD recorder playback have been established based on the existing standards of CD players;

however, for recording, the method differs from that used with existing cassette decks and MD recorders, etc. In view of this,
please gain a good understanding of the following restrictions associated with CD-R/RW discs and enjoy the medium.

Restrictions of Audio CD-R/RW Discs

• Only audio CD-R/RW discs can be recorded with this unit. “Use Audio CD” will be displayed when a disc other than one
for use with audio such as a CD-R/RW disc for use with a personal computer or another type of disc is loaded. (See “Discs that
Can Be Used with this Unit” on Page 4.)

• CD-R discs can be recorded to only once. The recorded information cannot be erased.

• The recorded information of CD-RW discs can be erased. When this disc has been finalized, erase after the finalization removal
operation has been performed. (See “Cancellation of CD-RW disc finalizing” on Page 27.)

• Recording mistakes made with CD-R discs cannot be erased; therefore, it is recommended that a CD-RW disc be used until you

are accustomed to the recording operation.

Restrictions in Recording with this Unit

• The recording operation procedure is the same for CD-R discs and CD-RW discs.

• When making additional recording to a previously recorded disc, the end of the last track is detected and recording is started

from there.

• The record standby mode cannot be set for CD-R/RW discs with a recordable time of about 8 seconds or less remaining.
“Disc Full” will be displayed at this time.

• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded to one CD-R/RW disc. When the recording reaches the 99th track, “Disc Full” is

displayed and recordings beyond this track will not be possible.

• Digital recording is not possible from CD-R/RW discs onto which have been digitally recorded, normal is it possible from MD or
DAT, etc. When a digital recording is attempted from such sources, “Copy Prohibit” is displayed. To record from these
digital sources, make the recording from the analog input. (See “Digital Copies” on Page 5.)

• This unit cannot record CD-ROM and other non-audio signal sources. When an attempt is made to record from such sources,
“Copy Prohibit” is displayed.

• When a recording is made from a disc that includes data other than audio signals such as CD graphics or CD-TEXT, only the

audio signal is recorded; other data is not recorded.

• DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, and other compressed audio signals) cannot be recorded.

Compatibility with Other CD Players and Discs

• Finalization processing on a CD-R disc that has been recorded with this unit will permit that disc to be played on ordinary CD
player. (See “Finalizing CD-R/RW Disc” on Page 26.)

•

Finalization processing on a CD-RW disc that has been recorded with this unit will permit that disc to be played only on a CD player
designed to be used with CD-RW discs or on another CD recorder. (See “Finalization Processing of CD-RW Discs” on Page 5.)

• Do not place anything other than a disc on the disc tray.

• Do not use discs that are cracked, misshapen, or have been

repaired with an adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs that have adhesive coming out from
cellophane tape or the label of a rental disc, or adhesive
remaining after removal of the label. Use of a disc in this
condition may result in the disc not being ejected or in
breakdown.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The included remote control unit (RC-278) can be used to operate the CDR-W1500 from a distance.

q Remove the remote control unit’s back lid.

w Insert the two R6P (AA) batteries in the battery

compartment, in the direction indicated by the marks inside
the compartment.

e Put the back lid back on.

Cautions on batteries

• Use R6P (AA) batteries in the remote control unit.

• The batteries should be replaced with new ones after

approximately one year, though this depends on the
frequency with which the remote control unit is used.

• Even if the batteries are less than a year old, replace
them with new ones if the remote control unit no
longer operates even from a short distance from the
main unit.

• The included battery is only for verifying operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.

• When inserting new batteries, wait about two
minutes after removing the old batteries before
inserting the new ones.

• Be sure to set the batteries in the proper “<” and
“> ” directions, as indicated by the marks in the
remote control unit’s battery compartment.

• Remove the batteries when not using the remote

control unit for long periods of time.

• To avoid explosions and fluid leakage:

• Do not use one new battery with one old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose

of batteries in flames.

• If the battery fluid should leak, wipe all the fluid off
the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

• When operating the remote control unit, point it at
the main unit as shown in the diagram.

• The remote control unit can be operated from a
direct distance of approximately 8 meters from
the main unit. This distance will be shortened,
however, if there are obstacles or when operated
from an angle.
(The remote control unit will operate from a
horizontal angle of up to about 30°.)
