3 INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon.
The CDR 30 CD Player/Recorder is a unique
product, designed not only to play back your
existing library of compact discs,but also to
record compact discs from either analog or digital programs.You may feed signals (for recording) to the CDR 30 from external sources such
as an A/V receiver,a tuner,a tape deck or a CD
player, or you may simply place a CD in one
deck, and make a copy using a recordable CD
in the other deck.
Designed and engineered by Harman Kardon,
the CDR 30 is among the first audio CD
recorders with x4 speed capability.This means
that it will take only 15 minutes to copy a
60-minute disc.The CDR 30 is also the first
CD-R/RW audio recorder to offer MP3 playback,
dubbing of MP3 discs to conventional CD discs,
and HDCD
®
playback.
The CDR 30 not only records with the highest
speed and quality available but it is also an
audiophile CD player.Through the use of
audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converters
(DACs),the CDR 30’s performance rivals the
most sophisticated high-end players.Should
you wish to bypass the internal DACs and use
an external digital processor, coax and optical
digital outputs are available.Thanks to the
CDR 30’s dual-tray design,you may even play
back two separate discs at the same time,for
parties or multi-room applications.To make CD
playback more enjoyable,the CDR 30 also
features a wide range of program and repeat
functions.
Since CD recorders and MP3 are relatively new
technologies,this may be your first CD-R product.
Although CD recorders resemble play-only CD
machines in many ways,there are some important differences between a standard CD and a
CD-R. In addition,making a CD-R recording is
also a different process than what you may be
familiar with for making audio tape or cassette
recordings.For that reason, we encourage you
to read through this manual so that you are
fully acquainted with the way CD recording
works.This small investment in your time will
pay major dividends in the enjoyment that will
result from proper use of the CDR 30.
If you have additional questions about this product –
its installation or operation – that are not answered
in this manual, please contact your dealer,who
is your best source of local information.You may
also contact Harman Kardon via e-mail through
our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Important Information About CD
Recording
In order to get the most enjoyment from your
new CD-R recorder, please pay special attention
to the following sections of the manual that
provide information about the special features
and capabilities of CD Recorders.
■ The CDR 30 plays all standard CD audio
discs,but for recording, the CDR 30 uses
special CD-R and CD-RW discs designed
only for audio use.CD-R discs designed for
computer use will not work in the CDR 30.
See page 14 for more information on which
types of discs are used with the CDR 30.
■ The last step in making a CD-R recording is
the finalization process.Unless this step is
properly done,the disc will not work in other
players.See page 23 for information on
finalizing discs.
■ Once finalized, CD-R discs will play in any
CD player, but CD-RW discs will only play in
the CDR 30 and certain other machines.
Check the specifications of your CD player if
you have questions about compatibility with
CD-RW discs.
■ As with all CD players,except those
designed specifically for portable use,you
should never move a CD player while there
is a disc inside one of the decks.NEVER
move the CDR 30 until discs have been
removed from both decks.
