Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best

possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• 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 and others, which are explained in the section “Basic Operations” on page 9.

• 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 better know.

Precautions

Installation

• Install the unit 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 build-up in the unit.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording

Playback

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

Recording

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

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

CD Recordable (CD-R)

Audio CD

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics), CD-Text, CD-Extra and CD-R/CD-RW (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

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, however 3-CD Changer

cannot play back unfinalized 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. Also 3-CD Changer can play back CD-Rs/CD-RWs (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

• 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.

CD Recordable (CD-R)

In addition to the logos shown above, the words shown below or their equivalent should also be indicated somewhere on the package or accompanying documentation.

• FOR CONSUMER

• FOR CONSUMER USE

• FOR MUSIC USE ONLY Make sure the words, DIGITAL AUDIO, is shown on the discs.

The following discs cannot be used for recording:

• Discs bearing logos other than the above.

• Discs intended for professional use.

• Discs intended for recording computer data.

Important notice:

• The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damage resulting from missed opportunity or accidental erasure that occurs while conducting recording or playback operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.

• Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a test recording using a CD-RW.

• If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory Area) of the disc is already recorded fully, any further recording cannot be performed on this disc even though there are still unused memory spaces on the disc. (See “Glossary” on page 42.)

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

• MP3 discs require a longer read-out time. It differs depending on the complexity of the group/track configuration.

• DO NOT subject the unit to any shock or vibration while recording.

• DO NOT use a dusty or scratched CD-R/ CD-RW for recording; otherwise, you cannot obtain the satisfactory recording quality.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• You can play back MP3 tracks (files) recorded on MP3 discs (CD-R/CD-RW) on the built-in 3-CD Changer.

• You cannot record MP3 tracks using the built-in CD Recorder.

• Program Play, Random Play and Pitch Control are not available for MP3 discs.

About MP3

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio

data will consume. The unit used is kbps (1024 bits/second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding and the most recommended for this 3-CD Changer is 128 kbps.

Compatible with ID3v1

Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3 track. 3-CD Changer can show ID3v1 tags (album title, performer name and song title) on the display.

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• 3-CD Changer is not compatible with ID3v2.

Other Main Features in this unit:

• Maximum number of groups (directories)/files (files): 512 (total)

• Available characters for group/track names: A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore)

• Maximum number of characters for track name

(ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of separation mark—“.”

and extension code—“mp3”)

(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of separation mark—“.”

and extension code—“mp3”)

• Maximum number of characters for group name: 31

MP3 Disc Structure

MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “groups (directories)”—in PC terminology.

During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and directories of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and group can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

Playback order, track search order, and group search order of the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration below shows an example of how MP3 tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this 3-CD Changer.

MP3 group/track configuration

• 3-CD Changer cannot read or play an MP3 track without the

extension code—mp3.

• 3-CD Changer can only read MP3 tracks compliant with ISO 9660

Level 1 or Level 2.

• Unfinalized discs cannot be played back.

• “Packet Writing” discs cannot be played back.

• If a disc is recorded with multiple sessions, only the first session

can be played back. However if a session is not closed (not finalized), it cannot be played back.

MP3 playback and search order

• The numbers in circles below the MP3 tracks ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks. Normally 3-CD Changer plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally 3-CD Changer plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the recorded order.

Playing Back MP3 Discs

You can play back MP3 discs on 3-CD Changer.

• You can place either an audio CD or an MP3 disc on any disc tray.

Before you start, remember...

• Perform recording onto a CD-R AUDIO or CD-RW AUDIO disc (see page 3).

• 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)—Disc Erase” on page

36). (You cannot erase the contents recorded on a CD-R.)

• You can record up to 99 tracks on a CD-R or CD-RW. When the data recordable memory area of a CD-R or CD-RW becomes full while recording, recording will stop automatically.

• If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory Area) of the disc is recorded fully, recording cannot be performed on this disc even though there are still unused memory spaces on it.

• Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a test recording on a CD-RW.

• You cannot perform digital-recording from the digitally recorded CD-R or CD-RW because only the first generation digital copy is allowed; This is to protect copyrights (see page 42).

• 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 if it is a first-generation digital copy (see page 42). If not, CD Recorder selects analog recording.

• MP3 files cannot be recorded on this CD Recorder. If you are going to record MP3 files on CD Recorder, “CANNOT REC” appears on the display.

• Before recording, finalizing, or adding track skip marks, make sure that all the disc trays are closed. You cannot open any disc tray while these operations are done.

Available recording methods

This CD Recorder provides a variety of the recording methods. You can select and use the following recording methods according to the playback source.

Recording from any source

—Standard Recording:

• Standard Recording—see page 22.

Connecting a microphone

You can record your voice through MIC jack on the unit. When using a microphone, connect a microphone with a standard 6.3 mm plug.

Microphone (not supplied)

After connecting, turn on the microphone if it has the ON/OFF switch.

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 before playing back on this 3-CD Changer.

CD-R : You cannot add any track after finalizing. CD-RW : You can add tracks after finalizing by unfinalizing

the disc (see page 34).

About track-marking

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

When auto track-marking is activated

Recording from 3-CD Changer (CD DIGITAL, CD ANALOG):

• Track marks are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change. Recording from an external component connected to the

• LINE IN and MIC jacks (LINE IN, MIC IN, CD+LINE MIX, CD+MIC MIX, LINE+MIC MIX): If there is a blank of 4 seconds or more, CD Recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

• Recording through the DIGITAL IN terminals (OPTICAL IN, COAXIAL IN):

—If the playback source is an MD recorder, CD player or

DAT deck, they are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change.

—If the playback source is other than above, 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” on page 34.

Recording from 3-CD Changer —CD Synchronized Recording:

• Disc Direct Recording—see page 26.

• One Track Recording—see page 28.

• Listening Edit Recording—see page 29.

• Program Edit Recording—see page 30.

Recording from external components

• Sound Synchronized Recording—see page 31.

• Sound Mixing Recording—see page 32.

When recording from a disc to another disc, the contents of the original disc are duplicated usually track by track. This means if some sounds are recorded between the tracks, they will not be recorded on a newly duplicated disc. For example, when you play a live disc, you may hear audience clapping their hands; however, these sounds are usually recorded between the tracks so they cannot be recorded.

7 Turning on or off sampling frequency rate converter

The sampling frequency rate converter built in CD Recorder allows you to record a digital source having sampling frequency (fs) of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. It can convert the fs of the source signals into 44.1 kHz so that CD Recorder can record the source. When the sampling frequency converter is turned “OFF,” digital signals are sent to CD Recorder bypassing the sampling frequency converter (without conversion). Normally set it to “ON” (Initial setting). Only when you record dts* or HDCD terminals, turn off the sampling frequency rate converter. To turn off the converter, follow the procedure below.

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.

PCA (Power Calibration Area)

A space reserved at the beginning of a CD-R/CD-RW for calibrating the laser output power required to record on that disc.

PMA (Program Memory Area)

A temporary memory area on a CD-R/CD-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).

Sampling Frequency

When analog signal are converted into digital signals, they are divided into many points and digitized. This dividing method is called “sampling.” The sampling frequency indicates how many points one second is divided into—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 CD recorder, MD (Mini-Disc) recorder and DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder, can exchange audio signal in the digital forms through digital input/output terminals. The digital audio components allow digital copy of music signal 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).

ABCDEFG

TOC (Table of 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.
