Features of the CDR-830 BurnIT CD recorder

Create your own audio CDs

The HHB BurnIT offers a high-quality and affordable way to burn your own audio CDs. Create original recordings, or assemble professional compilations from existing source material.

The CD text feature of the CDR-830 allows you put text information on your recordings to easily identify and select from the contents.

Make digital recordings from any source

The CDR-830 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it to almost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter, you can make direct digital recordings from many different sources such as DAT (32kHz up to 48kHz), as well as CD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only) enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs too. Analog sources are also catered for with the analog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard unbalanced line level connections.

Use both ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable CDs

Ordinary recordable CDs (CD-R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discs and the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for many applications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD-RW, is a more recent type of recordable CD that allows erasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use the discs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD-R**.

* While most CD players should have no problems with

CD-R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), the player may not be able to read some CD-R discs.

**At the time of writing, meny ordinary CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. Check in the instructions

that came with the player for compatibility.

Checking what’s in the box

Make sure that you’ve received the following supplied accessories with your CDR-830 CD Recorder:

1 Two sets of audio

cords

2 AC power cord 3 Remote control unit

• Also included in the box is your Registration card , this instruction manual, the HHB BurnIT brochure, and the HHB BurnIT Quick reference guide.

4 Two ‘AA’ size R6P

batteries

5 HHB CD-R 80 disc

Using this manual

This manual is for the CDR-830 CD Recorder. It is split into two sections: the first shows how to set up the CD recorder; the second takes you through each stage of operation. Set up, which starts here, shows you how to get your new CD recorder up and running with the rest of your audio equipment.

In the second section of the manual, starting on page16, you’ll learn how to use the various features of the recorder. The final part of the manual provides reference information on display messages you might

encounter during use, a troubleshooting section, and technical specifications.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using the CDR-830 for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

✔ Use in a well-ventilated location. ✔ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a

table or shelf. Ideally rack mount the recorder in a 19” rack.

Don’t...

✘ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures

or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

✘ Place on a window sill or other place where

the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✘ Use in an excessively dusty or damp

environment.

✘ Place on an unstable surface, or a surface is

not large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

1 Before you start

Putting the batteries in the remote control

• Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off.

• Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with the markings inside the compartment.

• Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.

Caution!

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:

• Don’t mix new and old batteries together

• Don’t use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar, different batteries may have different voltages.

• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery compartment.

• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.

Avoiding condensation problems

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from a cold environment, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning external surfaces

Before cleaning turn off and disconnect the unit from the power outlet. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinners which may damage the surfaces.

Moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording—the disc rotates at a high speed and may be damaged.

Storing optical cable

When storing optical cable, coil loosly as shown at right. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.

+ than =

5-7/8 in

(15 cm)

Handling discs

When holding CDs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and/or recording performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recording side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzene, thinners or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Page 8

1 Before you start

Storing discs

Although CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs are very durable, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

When labeling discs, use a felt-tip pen sold for marking CDs. Use only labels that are designed specifically for CD use. Don't glue paper or put other stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ballpoint pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

Discs to avoid

This recorder is not compatible with 90-minute CD-Rs or High Speed CD-RW discs. Do not use either type of disc with this recorder.

CDs spin at high speed inside the player during playback and recording. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your CD recorder or player—you could end up damaging the unit.

The CDR-830 is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CD’s only. Use of shaped CD’s is not recommended for this product. HHB disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CD’s.

CD lens cleaner

The compact disc recorder's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest HHB authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for compact disc recorders are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

About CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs

The CDR-830 is compatible with four types of compact disc:

Playback-only CDs

This unit will playback any ordinary audio CDs carrying the Compact Disc Digital Audio mark shown right.

CD-Recordable discs

Recordable CDs, or CD-R, carry the mark shown right, and are 'write once'. This means that having recorded something on the disc it is permanent—it can't be re-recorded or erased.

CD-Rewritable discs

Rewritable CDs, or CD-RW, carry the mark shown right. As the name indicates, you can erase and rerecord material on these discs so that they can be used over and over again.

CD TEXT discs

CD Text discs, carry the mark shown right. These are commercially available discs that will display the disc title, artist name, and track titles of the disc when played in a CD text compatible player.

Your HHB CDR-830 Professional CD Recorder is designed to operate with a broad range of CD-R or CD-RW media. However, for consistently high quality results and superior archiving stability, we recommend that you ask your dealer for these commercially available CD-R or CD-RW discs from HHB.

Please ensure that if you are using the coaxial digital connections that 75 ohm video type cable is used.

Connecting up for digital playback & recording

The diagrams on these pages show possible connections with various other components in your system. Before you start connecting your system, make sure that all the components are switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet.

About optical and coaxial jacks

The CDR–830 has both optical and coaxial jacks for both digital input and output. There’s no need to connect both, but since some equipment has only one type of connector—and you can only connect like with like—having both types on this unit can be an advantage.

To use the optical jack, you’ll need an optical cable. These are readily available at audio dealers. When buying, check that the cable is no longer than 3m.

Pull out the dust cap and store it in a safe place for future use. Check that both optical plug and socket are free from dust—if necessary, clean with a soft, dry cloth. The optical lead will only go in one way, so match up the jack and the plug before inserting fully.

OPTICAL COAXIAL

DIGITAL IN

Digital recording component (CD-R, MD, DAT recorder, etc.)

When connecting optical leads, take care not to bend the cable around sharp corners as this can damage the cable. Likewise, when storing optical cable, coil loosely (as shown on page 7).

If you’re using one of the coaxial-type digital connectors you’ll need a lead with an RCA/ phono plug at each end. Please only use digital audio cables, not normal audio interconnects.

Using the digital inputs

To make direct digital recordings on the CDR– 830 you’ll need to connect the digital output of a source (like a CD, MD, or DAT player) to one of the digital inputs on this unit. To make recordings from analog sources (like an analog tape deck) connect the outputs of your analog source to the line inputs of the CDR–830—see the following page for more detail.

Using the digital outputs

If you have another digital recorder, such as a MD or DAT recorder, you might want to use the CDR–830 as a digital source. In this case, connect one of the digital outputs of the CDR– 830 to a similar digital input on your other digital recorder.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you should find it damaged, ask your nearest HHB authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Introduction to CD recording

The CDR-830 is designed to let you make extremely high quality digital recordings onto recordable compact discs. For flexibility, you can use either rewritable discs (CD-RW) or write-once discs (CDR). For more general information on the discs you can and can’t use with this recorder, see About CD, CD-R and CD-RW Discs on page 8. The following overview gives you some idea of what the CDR-830 is capable of, and also provides guidance on what to avoid and things to be careful of when recording. We strongly recommend that you read these pages fully before proceeding to the more detailed instructions on the following pages.

Digital recording restrictions

This unit has been designed exclusively for recording and playback of audio discs—you can’t record other CD formats, such as computer CD-ROMs or Dolby Digital (AC-3).

If you record from a disc format such as CD+graphics, Video-CD, or other format that includes both digital audio and video or text, you will only be able to record the audio part of the disc.

In addition to standard audio CDs, this recorder will record DTS encoded audio CDs and HDCD format CDs (in this case, the recording level must be set to 0dB).

Almost all commercial digital source material is protected by copyright laws, and many CDs use copy control flags to limit digital recording of a source to one generation only. However, as the CDR-830 is a professional recorder, the status of the source copy control flags is ignored, and the status of the flag written to disc is adjustable.

This facility is only for professional use and must never be used to enable infringement of copyright.

Page 18

4 Getting Started

Recording modes

The recorder is equipped with a set of analog input terminals, as well as both optical and coaxial digital inputs. This means that the CDR830 is compatible with almost all audio sources—analog or digital. It even has a built in sampling rate converter making it ideal for recording from 48kHz DAT or other digital source, which might be at a sampling rate different to that of CD. Since CDs are always recorded at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, sample rate conversion is completely automatic—if the recorder senses a digital signal at either 32 or 48kHz, it will convert it to 44.1kHz. Note that this recorder can't convert 96kHz digital sources (such as some DAT tapes and DVD discs).

Miscellaneous information

• The minimum recordable time is four seconds.

• Usually, track numbers are recorded onto the disc automatically when recording. If you decide to switch off this feature (for example, when you’re recording from a digital broadcast), be sure to input track markers as recording is taking place—you can’t add them after recording is complete. See page 33 for more on manual and automatic track numbering.

• The maximum number of tracks on a disc is

99.

Digital recording from DAT

If you’re recording a DAT tape that was recorded using the DAT machine's auto ID function, the IDs on the tape may be slightly after the beginning of the actual recording. This can cause problems for the CD recorder:

• The start of the track may not be recorded.

• The track number will be recorded on the disc after the start of the track.

• The beginning of the next track on the DAT is unintentionally recorded.

To avoid these problems, we recommend recording start IDs on the DAT manually, if possible. If this is not possible, or if there are no start IDs on the DAT, we recommend using manual track numbering while recording to CD to ensure that new tracks are starting in the right places. Refer to the instructions for your DAT recorder for more information.

You might also encounter problems if you try to synchro-record all tracks from a DAT that is set to program play. If you want to record a DAT in program play mode, use the 1-track synchro recording mode—see page 19 for how to do this.

Digital signal interruptions

Sources of signal interruption include power or source component failure, accidental disconnection of the interconnect cord, and interruption of digital broadcasts. In all these cases, if the signal resumes within about five seconds, the result will just be a blank section on the disc. If the interruption is longer than five seconds, the recorder displays the error message: DIN UNLOCK and recording is paused.

Power interruptions

Never switch off the CDR-830 while it's recording, or while the display shows PMA REC (Program Memory Area Recording). If there's a power failure, or you accidently disconnect the power from the wall outlet while recording is in process, you may lose at least part of the recording.

After recording, always remove the disc from the recorder before switching the power off. Failure to do this could result in you losing some of the recorded material on the disc.

Recording one track from a source

If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from a digital (CD, MD, DCC or DAT) or an analog source, the recorder can start and stop automatically. With digital recording, there's no need to worry about recording levels— you'll get a perfect digital copy of the original (if you want to change the digital recording level, see page 23).

If you are recording from a noisy analog source, such as an old recording, or from a source with long quiet sections, the recorder may not recognize the end of the track. In this case, we recommend using manual recording (see page 22).

Synchro recording will not work if the source is already playing!

When recording from MD or CD, you can play the source in either normal play mode, or program play if you’d like the recorded tracks in a different order to the original. We do not recommend recording from a DAT in program play mode—use the 1-track synchro recording mode if you want to record the tracks in a different order.

If you are recording from a noisy analog source, such as an old recording, or from a source with long quiet sections, the recorder may not recognize the end of tracks. In this case, you can still use this mode, but it may be better to use manual track numbering (see page 33).

Automatically recording and finalizing a disc

This is a variation on all-track synchro recording on the previous page. After all tracks on the source material have been recorded, the recorder automatically finalizes the disc.

Note: Any interruptions in the digital input source signal may cause the recorder to enter record pause, which may inhibit the finalization of the disc.

1 Load a CD-R or CD-RW

disc.

Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

The display shows all-track sync with finalization, with the SYNC and FINALIZE indicators blinking to show that recording can start.

Note: Please ensure that there are no long pauses in the source material, as this might cause the recorder to start the finalization process.

4 Play the source.

Recording starts automatically. If you press SYNCHRO during recording, the recorder will finish recording without finalizing the CD-R.

5 After recording all tracks

on the source, the recorder starts finalizing the disc.

goes into all-sync record-pause. Be careful: If the recorder detects another signal or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again!

If the recorder detects no signal for one minute, finalization starts (no more recording is possible after this so make sure that there aren’t any spaces of more than one minute during the source you’re recording). See

Automatically numbering tracks

on page 33 to set the silence threshold.

One of the advantages of digitalto-digital recording is that you don't have to set recording levels—and risk distortion by overloading the disc. With prerecorded material, the digital level has usually been optimized and you shouldn't need to change it. If you're making a digital copy of a CD, DAT or MD that was not optimally produced and that was consistently under-recorded, you can boost the overall level by up to +20dB. Remember though, that any peaks in the original recording run the risk of distorting the copy.

In many other digital recording applications, you may also have cause to boost the recording volume since the volume of some digital sources can be relatively low, but again, if there are any

peaks in the source material, you run the risk of momentary distortion.

It's also possible to reduce the digital recording volume, but in most cases, this is not desirable. However, if you're putting together a mix CD (various tracks compiled from different sources),

and there is a track which stands out as generally louder than the others, then you might want to reduce the level of that track. Note that this feature will not remove distortion already on the source material.

Although you can't erase tracks on a CD-R disc, you can set what are called 'skip IDs'. These tell a CD player (though not all recognize skip IDs) not to play a particular track, and to skip to the next one on the disc.

You can also set skip IDs on CDRWs, although it's probably a less useful feature since erasing the last track is possible should you make a mistake in recording.

If you make a mistake when setting a skip ID, you can clear it, but be careful: you can set up to 21 skip IDs per disc, but repeatedly setting and clearing skip IDs will reduce this number.

Using CD text

You can name a CD-R or CD-RW so that when you load the disc into the player, the disc name, track title, or artist name can appear in the display. Each title can be up to 120 characters long, including spaces. You can store all the text (up to 2000 characters) for up to three nonfinalized discs in the recorder at one time. This is useful when you want to edit the text during another recording session with the same disc.

Be careful: When you set text for a fourth disc, the oldest text information (for the first disc) is deleted from memory. Text with CD-RW discs is deleted when you erase the corresponding track.

Once you finalize a CD-R, the text information cannot be changed. Finalized CD-Rs containing CD text can still be played on ordinary (non-CD text compatible) CD players, however the CD text will not appear in the display.

1 Make sure the disc you

want to name is loaded into the recorder and is stopped.

For track names: Before

proceeding to step 2, you must choose the track you want to name by turning the jog dial. You can also name tracks during playback.

2 Press TEXT.

Press TEXT to switch between disc and artist name:

DISC NAME

If you are naming a track, go to step 3.

The default is disc title. Press 7 at any time to exit.

3 Wait two seconds after

making your selection, or press ENTER.

If the disc doesn't already have a name, the character display is blank, with a blinking cursor on the first character.

ARTIST NAME

If the disc is already named, the character display shows the name (or the first 12 characters if it is too long to be displayed completely), with a blinking cursor under the first character.

4 Select/change the

character at the current cursor position by turning the jog dial.

See below for the complete list of letters, numbers, and symbols available.

If you’re using the remote control, use numbers keys 1-9 for numbers and the letters shown above each key. Press a key repeatedly to cycle through the letters and numbers on that key.

Characters available for disc and track names:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWXYZ

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 !"#$%&’()*+,-./<=> ?

@[]ˆ_'{|}<space>

5 Change between

uppercase, lowercase, and numbers/symbols by pressing TITLE/MODE.

The case of the character at the current cursor position changes between upper- and lowercase and numbers/symbols with each press.

6 Confirm the character and

move the cursor to the next character position by pressing the jog dial (or

¡¡

¡).

¡¡

For the remote, move the cursor to the next character position by pressing ENTER.

• Move the cursor backwards or forwards along the display using 1 and ¡.

• Insert a new character into a name by moving the cursor to the character position you want and repeating steps 4–6.

If you need to name several tracks with similar names— several parts of one suite, for example—you can name the first one using the procedure detailed above, then simply copy that name to the other tracks and edit them as required. This can save you a lot of time over naming each track individually. The recorder stores the last three names you've copied using the name clip function in its memory (up to 40 characters each).

Automatically numbering tracks

If you're recording from CD, MD, DCC or DAT, you can usually let the recorder number the tracks automatically as they change on the source material. When recording other digital or analog sources, the recorder will start a new track if it detects more than 2 seconds of silence. However if you’re recording noisy source material or a classical recording with long quiet sections, the recorder may not always regognize the gap between tracks. For this reason you can adjust the level of sound that the recorder regards as ‘silence’.

Each input (analog, coaxial and optical) has its own threshold level, which can be set independently.

Note: The minimum analog threshold level is -66dB.

1 When the recorder is

stopped, press MENU/ DELETE.

2 Turn the jog dial until A.LVL

appears in the display, then press to ENTER.

The display shows the current ‘silence’ threshold for automatic track numbering. The default is -

54dB.

3 Turn the jog dial (

¢¢

¢ on the remote) to

¢¢

4 and

change the threshold level.

Turning the dial cycles through the following levels:

-78dB to -66dB – Use these levels if you find the recorder is putting in new track numbers during very quiet sections of classical music, for example.

-60dB to -48dB – A ‘mid’ level suitable for most recordings.

-42dB to -24dB – If you find that the recorder is not putting in new track numbers because the original source is too noisy.

4 Press the jog dial (ENTER)

to confirm the new level.

If the AUTO TRK indicator is not lit, press AUTO/MANUAL to switch it on. To check that tracks will start at the correct points on the recording, see

source

on page 36.

tracks

Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder, you can number tracks manually as recording is taking place. In some cases— such as recording from digital mixer, or from an analog source—auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering.

Remember: It is not possible to edit track numbers after recording.

1 Make sure automatic track

numbering is switched OFF.

If the AUTO TRK indicator is lit, press AUTO/MANUAL to switch it off.

2 Start recording.

You can use manual numbering in any record mode, but it is best suited to manual digital-input or analog-input recording (see page 18 for more on these recording modes).

3 Press RECORD

Recording fade ins and fade outs

Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. You can also set longer or shorter fade times so that they match the fades on other songs in your mix. Note that you can’t record a fade in when in synchro recording mode (although you can record a fade out).

Setting the fade length

1 Press MENU/DELETE. 2 Turn the jog dial until FADER

appears in the display, then press to ENTER.

3 Use the jog dial (

¢¢

¢ on the remote) to set

the length of the fade (in seconds).

Each turn will take you forward (or back) one second. The default is 5 seconds.

4 and

4 Press the jog dial (ENTER)

to confirm the new fade length.

Recording a fade in

• With the source playing, press FADER during record-pause mode to fade in. Recording starts with a gradual fade in.

Recording a fade out

• Press FADER during recording to fade out.

After recording the fade out, the recorder goes into record-pause mode. This happens in either normal or synchro record mode.

• You can also just press 7 if you

don’t need a fade out.

If you record a fade out during alltrack sync mode, the synchro mode is canceled after the fade out (see pages 19–21 for more on synchro recording).

REPAIR

This appears when the SYNCHRO button is pressed

when the input selector is set to a digital input, and the source selected is not recognized as CD, MD, DCC,

or DAT.

The digital source was interrupted.

The source is not audio, or is an incompatible format (e.g. a CD-ROM).

The source player was already playing when the

SYNCHRO button was pressed.

The unit is preparing to record.

The recorder was switched off/unplugged after recording without ejecting the disc. The recorder could

not write essential recording information onto the disc.

Record the source manually, or record through the analog input.

Check that the digital input cable is connected properly and that the power of the source player is on.

Check that the source is a regular music source.

Stop the source player. After a short time, SYNC–1 or SYNC–ALL is displayed, and the recorder goes into

synchro–record-pause mode.

Wait until the message disappears.

While REPAIR is displayed, the recorder automatically examines the recorded area of the disc and updates the

track numbers and recording time data. This process takes about 40 minutes for a fully recorded disc. Finalization or further recording is possible once the

REPAIR message disappears.

REC FULL

No more recording is possible because the available recording time of the disc has been used up, or

99 tracks have already been recorded on the disc.

Use another disc, or erase the CD-RW disc.

If digital synchro-recording fails to operate correctly, check the following:

1. Pause playback of the source, then press the DIGITAL SYNCHRO button again.

• If you’re recording from a portable CD player, etc., make sure that the shock-protection feature is switched off.

2. Start playback of the source component once you see the SYNCHRO indicator start to blink.

3. If none of the above solves the problem, use manual digital recording to record.

• Digital synchro-recording uses a digital sub-signal contained in the source player’s digital output. Digital synchro-recording will not work when recording from the following devices:

• CD players whose digital output does not include a sub-signal

• Portable CD, MD or DVD players which do not output a digital signal when stopped.

7 Additional information

It’s often easy to mistake incorrect operation for trouble and malfunction of the unit. If you think there is something wrong with the component, check the points below first. If the problem persists, contact you nearest HHB authorized service center and have them check over the unit.

Symptom Cause Remedy

Power cannot be turned on.

No sound is heard during playback.

Cannot record.

Recorded sound is distorted.

The power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

The power plug is not firmly connected to the recorder.

The recorder is not connected up properly.

The recorder is not connected up properly. The CD-R or CD-RW disc in use has already been finalized. The input selection is incorrect.

The REC LEVEL control is set too low.

The REC LEVEL control is set too high.

Signal connections are incorrect. There is interference from external sources.

The disc is damaged or warped. The disc is extremely dirty.

Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

Make sure that the power plug is fully inserted in the recorder.

Check all connections, especially to the amplifier (p.10–11).

Check all connections (p.10–11) Use a non-finalized disc or erase the CD-RW disc (p.38). Select the input for the correct

input source to the recorder. Increase the recording level (p.23–24).

Reduce the recording level (p.23 –24).

Check all connections (p.10–11) Turn the power off to other units

near the recorder until there is no interference. Use another disc. Clean the disc.

Remote control operation is impossible.

Some tracks are skipped without being played.

Skip playback does not occur.

The recorder does not recognize the end of tracks during sync recording.

A recorded CD-R disc cannot be played on other CD players.

The remote control batteries are exhausted.

There is an obstacle between the remote control unit and main unit. The remote control unit is being operated outside the remote controllable range.

The SKIP PLAY button is set to on. Set the SKIP PLAY button to off

The SKIP PLAY button is set to off. Set the SKIP PLAY button to on

The level that the recorder regards as ‘silence’ is set either too low, or too high.

The disc has not been finalized after recording. When such a disc is loaded, the

CD-R indicator lights up. The pickup lens of the other CD player is dirty, impairing its ability to play CD-R discs.

Replace both of the remote control batteries with new ones.

Remove the obstacle.

Operate in the remote controllable range (p.9).

(p.28).

Set the silence threshold to a suitable level for automatically numbering tracks (p.33).

Finalize the disc (p.26).

Try the disc on a different CD player. If it plays OK then get the pickup lens on the original player cleaned.
