About This Manual Precautions

This manual is organized as follows:

• This manual mainly explains playback operations using the remote control, and the other operation such as recording and editing operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit.

You can use the buttons and controls both on the

remote control and on the unit for the same operations if they have the same or similar names (or

marks), unless mentioned otherwise.

• Basic and common information that is the same for

many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section "Basic and Common Operations" on pages 13 - 16.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent from damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Furthermore, gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible

performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold--between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat

_ sources, or aplace subject to sunlight,

direct

excessive dust or vibration.

PrecautionsonDiscPlaybackand Recording

Playback

This unit has been designed to play back discs bearing the following logos:

OlalTALAUnlOCD ReWritable (CD-RW)

rd]_[_ CD Recordable (CD-R)

DIr-lfAL AUOIO

DIGn'AL AUDIO

In addition to data recorded

Audio CD

CD Text (Text information can be shown only when

playing on 3-CD Changer.)

the above discs, this unit can play back audio on CD-G (CD Graphics) and CD-Extra.

Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:

• The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized

and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.

• The built-in 3-CD Changer can play back only

finalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.

• Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if they have been recorded in the CD

audio format.

• Neither on 3-CD Changer nor on CD Recorder, you can play back MP3 discs.

• Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of their disc characteristics, damage or stains.

Important notice:

• Continuous use of irregular-shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

x@ x@

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

Recording

This unit has been designed to record on the discs bearing the following logos:

mmTAtAUOmCD ReWritable (CD-RW)

rd]_ CD Recordable (CD-R)

OIr-lfAL AUOIO

Before You Start Recording

• When you record onto a partially recorded unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW, its contents are not erased or overwritten.

The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the disc. For CD-RW only: If you want to record on such a CD-RW from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see "Erasing All Tracks (Only for CD-RW)" on page 43). (You cannot erase the contents recorded on a CD-R.)

• When the data recordable memory area of an CD-R or CD-RW becomes fully while recording, recording will stop

automatically.

Optimum Power Control (OPC)

When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded in CD Recorder, this CD Recorder automatically checks the

disc condition and automatically adjusts the laser output level to obtain optimum recording on the disc before recording.

While OPC is being performed (for about 10 seconds), "UPDATE OPC" flashes in the main display (and the REC indicator also lights on the display).

_If"OPC ERROR" appears in the main display

The disc inserted cannot be used for recording.

Sampling frequency rateconverter

The sampling frequency rate converter built in the CD Recorder allows you to record a digital source having sampling frequency (fs) of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

• When you can record dts* CD or HDCD ®** signals coming through the LINE DIGITAL IN terminal, bypass the built-in sampling frequency rate converter.

To bypass the sampling frequency rate converter, see "Turning On or Off Sampling Frequency Rate

Converter" onpage 41.

* dts is a trademark of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. **HDCD "' is a registered trademark of Pacific Microsonic, Inc.

Auto track-marking

Whenever you turn on the unit, auto track-marking is activated. (The AUTO TRACK indicator will light on the display.)

When auto track-marking is activated

• Recording from 3-CD Changer: Track marks are recorded automatically at the points

where the tracks change.

Recording an analog source--FM, AM, and external component connected to the LINE IN

jacks:

No track mark is recorded on a disc. This means that, when playing this disc, a CD player will regard the entire recording as one track. However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, CD Recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

Recording through the LINE DIGITAL IN terminal:

- If the playback source DOES have track marks recorded, they are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change.

- If the playback source DOES NOT have track marks recorded, this unit functions in the same way for recording an analog source.

To cancel auto track-marking and use manual track- marking, see "Recording Track Marks Manually--

Manual Track-Marking" on page 40.

Auto track space

While recording from the 3-CD Changer onto CD Recorder, you can use this function. When this function is turned on, CD Recorder automatically makes 2-second blank portion at the beginning of each track on a recorded disc.

To use this function for your recording, see "Separating Recorded Tracks Automatically--Auto Track Space" on page 41.

- 29-

Available recording modes--REC MODE

CD Recorder provides a variety of the recording methods--called "Recording Modes." Available recording modes vary according to the playback source and its playback status.

By pressing REC MODE after all preparation for recording is finished, you can select and use the following recording modes.

• When the source is 3-CD Changer

--CD Synchronized Recording:

• CD Direct Recording (with orwithout

finalization)--See page 33.

• First Track Recording--See page 35.

• Listening Edit Recording (with or without finalization)--See page 36.

During play, you can only perform a single track recording--See page 38.

• When the source is the external component

• Sound Synchronized Recording--See page 37.

When recording is stopped or finished, CD Synchronized Recording and Sound Synchronized Recording are canceled automatically.

_ Digital recording or analog recording?

CD Recorder automatically selects appropriate recording-- either digital or analog--during CD Synchronized Recording.

When digital source is selected as the playback sound, it will be recorded digitally unless it is a first-generation digital copy

(see "SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)" on page 51). In this case, CD Recorder selects analog recording.

_ During CD Synchronized Recording

• Repeat Play will be canceled automatically.

• Auto track-marking is activated automatically.

_ Other recording methods

You can also use the REC PAUSE button to perform the recording. See "Recording Any Sound Source--Standard

Recording" on page 31.

High-Speed Recording

When using some of the Recording Modes mentioned on the left column, this unit allows you to change the recording speed--normal speed and high speed. For CD-R, high speed means 4 times normal speed and for CD-RW, 2 times normal speed.

When you select high speed for your recording, you cannot listen to the played-back sounds.

_ During high-speed recording

You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level. ("CANNOT LISTEN" will flash in the main display if you try to do.)

Finalization

This is the final process in recording on a CD-R or CD- RW. "Finalizing a disc" means writing the TOC (Table of Contents) on the recorded disc. Only after this process is completed, a recorded CD-R or CD-RW can be played back on a CD player compatible

with CD-R/CD-RW.

• It is also recommended to finalize a disc in order to play it back on 3-CD Changer.

To finalize a disc, see "Finalizing a Disc--CD-R/CD- RW" on page 38.

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent--such as conventionalrecord cleaner, splay, thinnel; or benzine---to clean the disc.

Moisturecondensation

Moisture may- condense on the lens inside the unit in the

following cases:

• After star-ring the heater.

• When the unit is moved from the extremely hot place to the extremely- cold place.

Should this occur, the unit may-malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

• DO NOT expose discs to dh-ect sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high tempel_ture and humidity.

• DO NOT leave discs in a car

To clean the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped offwith a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water- diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the follo_ngs.

--DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

Glossary

OPC (Optimum Power Control)

OPC is a function that checks the loaded disc and automatically- adjusts the laser for optimum recording setting before recording through the Digital Optical Input terminal.

PCA (Power Calibration Area)

A space reserved at the beginning ofa CL)-RiCL)-RW for calibrating the laser output power required to record on that disc.

PMA (Program Memory Area)

A temporar2, memory- area on a CL)-RiCL)-RW, where the information about the recordings on the disc--track numbers, tracks' start points and end points, etc. is stored until the disc is finalized. When the disc is finalized, this information is written in the TOC (see below).

SamplingFrequency

When analog signals are converted into digital signals, they- are divided into many- points and digitized. 'llais dividing method is called "sampling." The sampling frequency- indicates how many- points one second is divided intw-for example, for CD sound, one second is divided into 44 100 points since its sampling frequency- is 44.1 kHz.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Digital audio components, such as CL) recorder, MD (Mini-L)isc) recorder and L)_iI' (Digital Audio Tape) recorder, can exchange audio signals in the digital forms through digital input/output terminals. The digital audio components allow digital copy of music signals with little deterioration. This has made it necessary- to have a copy restriction rule for protecting the copyright, and "SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)" has been established as a result. To protect the copyright, the SCMS allows only- first-generation digital copies to be made from premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

TOC(Tableof Contents)

TOC is a kind of disc information containing sub-data (track number, playing time, etc.) that enables us to search for tracks quickly- on the disc. To write the TOC on a CD-R or CD-RW, you need to finalize the disc.
