Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon.

The CDR 30 CD Player/Recorder is a unique product, designed not only to playback 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, 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

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 (DAC’s), the CDR 30’s performance rivals the most sophisticated high-end players. Should you wish to bypass the internal DAC’s 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 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 a relatively new technology, 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.

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 and CD-RW recording is the finalization process. Unless this step is properly done, the disc will not work in other players. See page 24 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.

Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your CDR 30 has been designed for use with 220- to 240 Volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.

CAUTION: The CDR 30 uses a laser system. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not open the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of the safety mechanisms provided for your protection. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM. To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s manual carefully and retain it for future use. Should the unit require maintenance or repair, please contact your local Harman Kardon service station. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Installation Location

■ Place the unit on a firm and and level surface that can support the weight of the product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts.

Moving the Unit IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the

CDR 30 which may not be covered by the warranty,be certain that all discs are removed from the unit before it is moved. Once the CDR 30 is installed, discs may be left in the unit when it is turned off,but the unit should NEVER be moved with discs left in either deck.

Important Information for the User

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Installation and Connections

Important Note: To prevent possible damage

to your speakers or other components in your audio system, we strongly recommend that ALL system components, including the CDR 30,be turned off completely when any connections are made or a new component is installed.

Locating the CDR 30

Since the CD transports in the CDR 30 are precision instruments, they are subject to interference from vibration.To minimize the possibility of skipping during playback or recording, it is recommended that the unit be placed on a level, solid, vibration-free surface.

When installing the CDR 30 in a cabinet or tight space, always make certain that there is enough room in front of the unit for the disc drawers to open fully, and that there is enough space above the unit so that discs may easily be inserted in the disc drawers.

In addition to the safety considerations outlined on page 4, it is also recommended that the CDR 30 not be placed in a location that is subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold, as these conditions may damage the discs used in the player, or the player itself. Note that audio amplifiers or high-power receivers, as well as certain other electronic products, may generate significant heat. For that reason,do not place the CDR 30 directly on top of an amplifier, receiver, or other heat source.Always allow at least 2 cm of free space on all sides of the CDR 30, as well as other electronic products, to allow for proper ventilation.

The unit should also be kept away from sources of water or damp conditions.

Connections to Your Audio System

When connecting the CDR 30, think of the process as if your were connecting a standard CD player and a tape or cassette recorder, with the addition of the digital connections.

Play-Deck Connections

The rear panel connections “CDP” refer to the outputs of the Play Deck

, which functions as a standard CD player.

Connect the analog left/right CDP outputs to the CD inputs on your receiver, preamp or surround processor. For best playback results,a digital connection is recommended, using the coaxial

outputs. Connect them to the matching digi-

tal inputs of your receiver, preamp, processor or external digital decoder. Note that you may have to change a setting on the receiver or processor to link the digital input to the “CD” button or input selector. Consult the owner’s manual on that device for details, as this configuration may vary from unit to unit.

Record-Deck Connections

The rear panel connections labeled “CDR” refer to the inputs and outputs for the Record Deck capabilities of your receiver, preamp or processor, you may find it convenient to connect the analog inputs and outputs to the jacks marked for a tape recorder. As the CDR 30’s functions resemble those of a standard tape recorder, this might make it easier to select it as an input on your receiver or preamp. Connect the analog CDR-Out jacks input on your receiver or preamp. Connect the CDR-In jacks your receiver or preamp.

To play the output of the Record Deck through the digital decoder in your receiver or an external processor, connect the CDR Coax

Optical

ing digital-input jacks on your receiver or processor. Note that you may have to change a setting on the receiver or processor to link the digital input to the “Tape” button or the specific input selector associated with the digital inputs. Consult the owner’s manual on your receiver or processor for details, as this configuration may vary from unit to unit.

¶^on the CDR 30 directly to the matching

digital output on your CD player or other digital device from which you’d like to make recordings.

Connections to a portable digital CD or MD player may also be made by connecting the Coax or Optical Digital Output of the player to the matching Front Panel Digital Input Jack

on the CDR 30.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL CONNECTIONS: Coax Connections: Although digital-coax con-

nections use the same type of “RCA” phono jack as standard analog signals, please take special care to connect digital signals only to digital jacks. In many cases, the digital jacks may be identified by an orange colored insert ring around the center of the jack. When making digital connections, be sure to use coax-interconnect cables, such as the one supplied with the CDR 30 or cables intended for video applications. Even though they have the correct type of RCA connector, do not use audio-interconnect cables that have twisted pair construction, as they are not appropriate for digital signal use. If you have any questions about the type of cables to use with the CDR 30, consult your dealer.

Optical Connections: To ensure proper connection of optical cables, fully insert them into the jack until there is an audible click. This tells you that the connector has been completely inserted. Remember to save the plastic dust caps that cover the optical jacks, and replace them when a jack is not in use to prevent dust from entering the connection point.

Installation and Connections

Batteries

Insert the two AA batteries supplied with the CDR 30’s remote as shown below being careful to follow the + and – polarity indications in the bottom of the compartment. Replace the cover by first seating the two small tabs into the mating holes at the top of the remote, and then gently push the cover down until the latch snaps into place with an audible click.

NOTE:When replacing batteries, replace both at the same time.When the remote will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid the possibility of damage due to corrosion. Batteries contain chemical substances and we recommend that you dispose of them properly and in compliance with any local regulations.

IR Remote Connections

If the CDR 30 is installed behind a cabinet or other obstruction that may block the path between the front panel Remote Sensor and the location where you will use the remote, an optional external IR sensor may be used. Connect the sensor to the Remote IR In Jack

‚

on the rear panel. This jack may also be connected to the IR Output jack of another compatible Harman Kardon component or a compatible IR system remote product that is not blocked by a cabinet.

You may also use the IR Sensor in the CDR 30 to send commands to other compatible remote products. Connect the Remote IR Out Jack to the input of the other product or system.

Power Connections

Connect the AC Power Cord power source. the CDR 30 uses sensitive, highperformance computer-grade CD drives, and to protect them we recommend that you consider the use of a surge protector, just as you would for a computer.

If the rear panel AC outlet on a receiver or other product is used, make certain that it provides at least 28 watts, and that the total power of all products connected does not exceed the maximum rated output of the product containing the outlets. If the CDR 30 is connected to a switched outlet, remember to turn on the outlet or product controlling it in order for the CDR 30 to operate.

CD Recording Basics

CD Recorders (CDRs) are similar to standard CD players, with the addition of the features and controls needed for recording. Functions such as play, search and programming for playback will be familiar, but the recorder will function slightly differently than what you may be used to for magnetic tape recorders.

Disc Types

Unlike a conventional CD player, the CDR 30 uses three types of discs, and it is important to understand how each one plays.

Both decks in the CDR 30 will play

any conventional CD that bears this logo.

Discs that bear this logo or whose packaging is labeled with ”Digital Audio” and ”CD-R” or ”CD Recordable” may be recorded on one time, and when they are finalized they will play in either deck in the CDR 30 or in any conventional CD player, including home, car and portable models.The Record Deck CDR 30 may also be used to record on these discs, and it will play those CD-R/Audio discs even if they have not been finalized.

Discs that bear this logo or whose packaging is labeled with ”Digital Audio” and ”CD-RW” or ”CD Rewritable” may be recorded, and they may also be erased and reused.They may be recorded on the Record Deck the CDR 30 and on other CD-RW recorders and played on both decks of the CDR30 (on the Rec

Deck

even if the CD-RW is not finalized) or on CD-RW compatible players.They will NOT play in most current CD players unless the player is CD-RW compatible. CD-RW Audio discs will play on most DVD players once they have been finalized.

on the

Discs that bear this logo

are designed for use in computer CD-R drives and may not be used for recording in the CDR

30. Only discs specifically designed for use in consumer CD audio recorders may be used. If you attempt to use a able disc for recording see a NOAUDIO message in the Time/

Message Display

or Dubbing

recording will not be possible. However, discs that have been recorded in the CD-R drive of a computer may be played in the CDR 30, provided that they have been properly finalized in accordance with audio standard IEC958.

Note that the CDR 30 is specifically designed for the recording and playback of consumer audio discs, and cannot be used to copy data discs, DVD discs, or other optical discs used by videoor computer-game systems.

Recording Options Digital Source to CD Audio: Depending on

the particular input source used, the CDR 30 will make a CD Audio disc when fed a signal from a digital source such as an external CD or DVD player, MiniDisc or DAT player. When the input signal is not at the 44.1kHz standard used by digital audio discs it will be converted to the proper standard by the CDR 30’s built-in sample rate converter. Input signals will be transferred directly to the copy disc as a digital signal, provided that it is an original recording. Digital sources that are copies can be copied only via the analog inputs.This is a requirement of the SCMS system, which is part of the CD recording system.

When copying using the dual-deck capability of the CDR 30, the copy may be made in real time or at twice or four times normal speed.

Analog sources to CD Audio:When the input signal is a conventional line-level analog audio signal, such as the record output of a receiver or processor, it will be converted to digital data and recorded as a standard CD audio disc. These dubs may be made in real time only.

MP3 discs to CD Audio:A unique feature of the CDR 30 is its ability to play discs recorded with MP3 data files.These discs may be copied to conventional CD audio discs using the dualdeck dub capabilities, but only at normal speed. Note that it is not possible to copy MP3 discs to additional MP3 disc copies.

The CDR 30 is not equipped to accept external MP3 files for direct recording.

CDR Terminology and Display Messages

Compact disc recording has its own special terminology, and some of the messages you will see when using the CDR 30 may be new to you. Before using the CDR 30, you may wish to familiarize yourself with some of the terms used by the CDR 30. Additional error message displays may occasionally appear. Please see page 25 for a complete explanation of those messages.

Finalize: This term refers to the process that completes the recording of a disc by recording a final Table of Contents and preparing the disc so that it may be played on other machines. A CD-R disc may not be played on the CDP deck of other CD players until it is finalized. However, once the finalization process is complete, a CD-R disc may not be recorded on again. CD-RW discs must be finalized too to be playable on CD-RW compatible players, but they may be “Unfinalized,” so that certain or all tracks may be deleted or additional tracks may be recorded on a disc.

TOC: Stands for Table of Contents and it refers to the data recorded on each CD that tells the player how many tracks are on the disc, the total time of the disc and the running time of each individual track. Each time a disc of any sort is placed in the CDR 30, you will see a TOCto indicate that the unit is reading this data from the disc. This is required to copy the track information to any recording.

OPC: Stands for Optical Processing Calibration. When you see this message in the Time/

Message Display

transport inside the unit is making the calibrations and adjustments needed so that the recording process is optimized for the specific disc in use.

BUSY: When you see this message, it means that the Record Deck is completing part of the record operation.When you see this message, do not press any buttons; simply wait until the message clears from the display.

DISC FULL: When there is no more record time remaining on a recordable disc, a DISC

CDR 30 is off and not drawing any power. When you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time, such as during a vacation, we recommend using the Main Power Switch to turn the unit completely off.

Although compact discs are very reliable, rough handling may damage them. Avoid scratching either side of the discs, as this will affect playback of standard CDs and interfere with the recording of CD-R and CD-RW discs. It is also a good idea to always handle discs by their edges to avoid fingerprints which may also interfere with playback quality and possibly cause damage to the laser and lens assembly.

HDCD Playback

HDCD, which stands for High Definition Compatible Digital, is a special recording process that enables the CDR 30 to deliver the ultimate in CD audio playback. The CDR 30’s circuitry takes advantage of the special HDCD recording process when HDCD-encoded discs are used, and it is also completely compatible with non-HDCD discs, which benefit from the unit’s advanced digital-to-analog converters.

No special adjustment is needed to play HDCD encoded discs. Simply use the disc as you would any other CD.Although these discs also play on conventional CD players, when played on the CDR 30 the special HDCD decoding circuitry is automatically activated, delivering extraordinary fidelity and the highest possible overall quality.

The CDR 30 will playback and internally decode HDCD discs from either the CDP or CDR decks and the appropriate HDCD Indicator light above the deck in use. However when HDCD discs are played on both decks simultanously (in Dual mode), the internal decoder works only with the first disc selected and the appropriate HDCD Indicator Nevertheless, when the HDCD decoding is done in an external receiver or processor using a digital output connection from the CDR 30, the digital signal from any deck can be HDCD decoded, no matter if the appropriate HDCD Indicator

CD Text Playback

An increasing number of CD discs are recorded with CD Text information that may display the disc’s title, the name of the artists, the title of specific individual tracks, and the artist for specific individual tracks, depending on how the disc’s producers program the information.

Program Play

The CDR 30’s advanced programming system enables you to program certain tracks for play or the order in which tracks are played or dubbed, to repeat one track or all tracks,or to repeat any segment of a disc without regard to track numbers.

Programming Play Lists

To program certain tracks or the order of playback for the tracks on a disc, insert the disc, let the unit read the Table of Contents information, and wait until the disc has stopped and the number of tracks and total running time is displayed. Next, select the deck that will be programmed by pressing the CDP Select button remote for the Play Deck

CD Recording

Making recordings on the CDR 30 is simple and easy once you become accustomed to the basics of CD Recording. Before making your first recording, please take a moment to review the CDR Basics on page 14. In particular, you will need to become familiar with the types of discs that may or may not be used in the CDR 30. In addition, some terms used in the following pages may be new to you. The following definitions and information will help you to make CD recordings using the CDR 30’s many features:

• In the following the terms "analog dubbing"

or "analog recording" will say only that the signal fed to the CDR30 for recording is analog. Of course,in the CDR30 all analog record signals will be converted to digital (A/D converter) and recorded on discs in digital form only.

• The CDR 30 accepts analog inputs and digital

coax or optical inputs. Before making a recording, be certain that you have selected the correct input, using the Input Select Button

• After a disc is recorded, it must be finalized.

This process adds the final table of contents data to the disc and makes it playable on other machines. Until a disc is properly finalized,it may not be played on standard CD players.

• The CDR 30 may record on either CD-R or

CD-RW discs, but they must be of the type specifically designed for use in consumer-audio CD recorders.These discs may be recognized by looking for the words “Digital Audio” in the compact disc logo on the blank disc or its packaging. Discs with the logo reading only “Compact Disc/Recordable” are designed for computer data recording, and they may not be recorded using the CDR 30.

• CD-R discs may not be erased or have material

added to them once they have been finalized.

• At least four (4) seconds of blank recording

time must remain on an unfinalized disc for recording to take place.

• The maximum number of tracks that may be recorded on a disc is 99.

• Note that some rare CD-R/CD-RW audio recording discs may be used for single-speed recordings only. If you use a disc with such a warning, make certain not to dub at 2x or 4x speed. However, the CDR 30 has been tested for compatibility with a wide range of blank discs from manufacturers throughout the world. In most cases,blank discs will produce high-quality recordings at any dub speed.

• In some rare cases, a CD player may not play certain CD-R discs. If you find that a CD-R disc plays in some players but not in others, the fault is most likely with the player, not with the recorded disc or the CDR 30. Remember that CD-RW discs made in the CDR 30 will play only in CD players that are specially designed to accommodate CD-RW discs. Note that most DVD players are compatible with finalized CD-

RW discs, but many are not with CD-R discs.

• Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy

protection data bit that will prevent a digital copy of the disc to be dubbed from external CD players (analog copies always can be made from external sources as well as internal dubbings, see next chapter).In that case, the Copy

Prohibit Indicator

you that the inability to record is intentional, and not the result of a problem with the CDR 30.

• This product is equipped with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) to protect the rights of copyright owners.Although it is possible to make a copy of most CDs for your own personal use, it is not possible to make a digital copy from another digital copy, including CDP, although it is possible to make an analog copy of a digital copy.

• The CDR 30 will not copy DVD discs, computerdata discs, CD-based computer or video-game

discs, or digital audio discs with a sample rate that is not compatible with the range of the CDR 30s sample-rate converter.

• Discs containing MP3 data may only be copied to the standard CD Audio format.

Recordings on the CDR 30 may be made in a number of ways:

will light to remind

• Discs may be dubbed using the playback deck

on the CDR 30 as a source.These copies may be made in real time, at twice normal speed,or at four times normal playback speed (from MP3 discs only in real time). More information on Disc Dubbing see next chapter.

• Synchronized digital Recordings may be made

from an external CD or MD player or other digital source that is synchronized with the dub being made in the CDR 30, see chapter "Sync Recording" on page 23.

• Analog or digital recordings may be made from

any compatible external digital source, see chapter "Recording From an External Source" on next page.

• Analog recordings may be made from any external analog source, see chapter "Recording From an External Source" on next page.

Disc Dubbing

The easiest way to make a copy of an entire disc is to use the CDR 30’s internal dub capability.

First, insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW or a disc with sufficient blank space for recording in the

Record Drawer

the CDR 30 will examine it to determine if it is a CD-R or CD-RW disc, and optimize itself for the best possible recording. This is indicated by OPC message (Optical Processing Calibration) in the

Time/Message Display Place the disc to be dubbed in the Play Drawer

and wait until the Table of Contents data is

read and the Time/Message Display the track and running time data for the disc.

Next, select a dub speed.The default speed is 4 times dubbing, where the recording takes only 1/4 of the actual running time of the disc. However, with the CDR 30 you may also select x1 (real time) dubbing or x2 dubbing. Press the Speed button by the x2/x4 Indicators Indicator lights, the unit is set to real-time recording. Note that the slower the record-dub speed, the more tolerant the unit is of errors on the blank or played disc. However, with most high-quality blank discs, the 2x and 4x speeds should not present a problem. Note also the 2x and 4x speed dub is not possible with an MP3 disc.

Before beginning a dub, make certain that there is sufficient blank space on the record disc. To do this, select the total remaining time to be shown in the record side Time/Message Display by pressing the Display button ˆ stop mode.That number should be greater than the total time of the disc to be dubbed, which is shown in the play side Time/Message Display

If you wish to copy the entire disc, proceed to the next step. However, if you wish to copy only one track from a disc, first select that track by pressing the Next Button number appears in the Time/Message Display

or enter the track number directly with the

Numeric Keys

When you are ready to start the dub, press the Dubbing Button ) if the entire disc (or all tracks programmed, see Notes on page 22) is to be copied, or the 1 Track Dub Button 9,if you wish to copy only one track.

While the dub is in progress, you will see the track numbers and running time increase as the disc is copied. The Level Indicators also flash and the record levels may be adjusted (up to +/-3dB) also during the dubbing process (see chapter Record Levels on page 23). It is possible to listen to the source disc while it is being dubbed by selecting the appropriate input (analog or digital) for the Play Deck on your receiver, preamp or processor.

Important Note: When a high-speed (x2 or x4) dub is being made (not possible with an MP3 disc), you will hear the playback from the analog

CDP Outputs

Fast speed playback increases the pitch of a sound, and when played back at high volume levels this may damage your speakers.DO NOT use high volume levels when listening to highspeed dubs while they are in progress.

The dub will stop automatically when the source disc has played through to the end. After the dub is finished, the Time/Message Display show an UPDATE message, and then return to normal operation.To manually stop a dubbing operation, press the Stop button either deck.

As with all recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs, the disc must be finalized before it can be played in other machines. See page 24 for instructions on disc finalization.

Recordings from external sources can be made in three modes: Sync, Manual or Auto mode.

• The Sync mode (see next chapter) starts and stops the recording automatically and increases the track numbers syncronously with the tracks on the source.This mode should be used with digital recordings from external sources, providing CD standard conforming track information (see below) like normal CD,many DVD (with CDs only) and most MD players.

• The Auto mode for either digital or analog

recordings must be started manually, but the track number will be increased automatically after the CDR 30 receives silence for 3 seconds syncronously with the music starting. When the source is paused or stopped, after 3 or 10 seconds (depends on the source used) the recording will stop.Also after 10 seconds of silence (analog or digital sources) the recording will stop.This mode is recommended for recordings from digital sources, providing no CD standard conforming track information (see below), like some DVD and MD players, DAT, DVB receivers and other digital sources with a sample rate between 32kHz and 96kHz. To activate the Auto mode, press the Auto/

the Manual Track Increment Indicator In that mode for either digital or analog recordings, the recording must be started and stopped manually and you must add track numbers manually by pressing the Track

increase the track number. As the correct operating of the track increment in the Auto mode (see above) depends on the length of music pauses and the level of the residual noise during these pauses, what may be critical with analog sources, we recommend the Manual mode for all recordings from analog sources.To activate the Manual mode (unless selected already by default), press the

Auto/Manual button Manual indicator

As outlined above recordings from analog sources should be made with the Manual mode. But the recording mode for use with a digital source depends on whether the source has CD standard track information or not.To find out for the first time, whether the source provides that information, place an eraseable CD-RW audio disc in the Record Deck digital input connected with that source by pressing the Input Select Button button will cycle between the input choices, which will be shown in the Time/Message

Sync recording allows you to make an automatic digital recording from an external CD or MD player or any digital source, providing CD stan-

dard track information (see page 22 for more information on how you can find out if or not you can record from a source with the Sync mode). During Sync Recording, the record unit starts in sync with the source, and tracks are added automatically.

Record Levels

Particulary with analog recording, the setting of record levels is important to the creation of a copy disc that is correctly recorded so that it is both free from noise (caused by too low a record level) or distortion (caused by too high a record level). Since the CDR 30 accepts both digital and analog sources, a different procedure is required, depending on the type of input used.

In general practice, and particularly for analog recordings, a proper recording is made when the individual left and right Level Indicators run in the left two-thirds of the display scale, and the red OVER

If the level is too high or too low during an analog recording, simply adjust the Analog Record

Level Control

(more information on adjusting the analog record level see left on this page).

It is important to note that for digital recordings the level indications will always run lower than

what you would expect for an analog recording. This is due to the fact that, within limits, low level for digital recordings is not a severe problem. However, too high digital levels will cause audible distortion as with analog recordings.

The default setting for level control is Manual with the adjustment set at a 0 dB level, then the

Digital Record Level Status Indicator

will not be lit. This setting is appropriate for most recordings, and under normal circumstances you will not need to make any changes.Increase digital levels may be needed only when the disc or track to be recorded will deliver too low a signal level to the CDR30. Decrease level only when you wish to record the disc on the CDR30 with a lower level than on the original.

To manually adjust the digital level, press the appropriate

Finalizing is a simple process that completes the recording of a disc so that it may be used in other players. Once that is done, a CD-R disc may not be changed or added to. CD-RW discs are “locked” once they are finalized,but they may be unfinalized to permit additional recording or erasure.

To finalize a disc, place it in the Record Drawer

, if it is not already in that drawer. Once the disc’s Table of Contents (TOC) information has been read and the OPC process has been completed, press the Finalize Button that the word FINAL will begin to flash in the

finalization the CDR deck will not accept any operating commands.

When the finalization process is complete, the Time/Message display will return to its normal messages, and the R/RW Indicator out, with the CD indication cate that the disc is finalized and ready for play on standard CD players (CD-R discs, CD-RW discs only on CD-RW-compatible players).

Unfinalizing and Erasing CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs are unique in that they are both recordable and rewritable.This means that you may use them over again like a cassette tape. However, the process of reusing a CD-RW disc is slightly different from that used with tapes.

Unfinalizing a CD-RW Disc

To keep the material that is already recorded on a finalized CD-RW disc and to add an additional track or to erase the last track or the complete disc, you must first unfinalize the disc.To do that, place the CD-RW disc in the Record Deck and wait until the Table of Contents data has been read.

press the Play/Select Button that the word ERASE will keep flashing. The erasure process takes about a minute, and it is complete when the Time/Message Display resets to 00 00:00 and ERASE goes out. The disc is now totally erased and may be reused.

Erasing a Single Track

The individual tracks on a CD-RW disc may be erased one at a time, starting with the last track on the disc, or you may erase more than one track. Note that before individual tracks may be erased the disc must be unfinalized. If the disc is finalized, follow the instructions above for unfinalizing before proceeding with these steps.

Important Note on Erasing Tracks: Tracks at the beginning or in the middle of the disc may not be erased until all of the tracks after them have been erased.

Important Note on Erasure and Finalization Times: Regardless of the speed at

which a disc was recorded, the CDR 30 will erase and finalize discs at the x4 speed to minimize the length of the process. However, in some cases, it may be necessary for the unit to repeat the erasure or finalization due to the nature of an individual disc. For that reason,it is normal for the time required to complete these steps to vary from one disc to another.
