About Discs

Playable discs

CD-R

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the
disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs,
the unit reads the information recorded on the disc from
underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light.
Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade
like conventional analog records.

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch
the front side.

ENGLISH

CD-RW

Finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in the CD-DA
format, MP3 format or Video-CD format can be played with
the unit.

• Finalize is the process to make a CD-R/CD-RW playable
for players (not recorders)

• Some discs may not be able to be played depending on
condition of the discs and recording software.

• Single CDs (8cm) cannot be used.

To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following
locations:

• In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.

• In a place which is damp or dirty.

• In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a
window.

Always keep the disc surface clean.

When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a
special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.

• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records,
as this will adversely affect the disc surface.

Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.

• Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side
of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
DVD/CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when
a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to
play the disc. If such a disc is played on the DVD player,
impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction
may result.

• Do not use a disc with a special shape.

Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such

as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the
equipment malfunction may result.

easier during playback, and the tracks are easier to listen
to.

When silent skip is set, “S.SKIP” lights in the display, and

it flashes when the recording is paused while there is no
input signal.

• Silent skip/Track increment

Silent skip is processed within one track. However, if this

function is set, every time the input signal is received, a
new track is automatically created for the recording.

Notes

1 Insert a CD-R disc into the recorder’s CD slot.

CD Burning

• Do not attempt to playback or burn a CD while the recorder
is on a slant, standing on its edge, or on an unstable
surface.

• Do not move or carry the recorder while a CD is inserted
and operating. Doing so may cause damage to the
inserted CD.

4 When CD burning is completed, the CD-R disc is

automatically ejected from the CD slot.

If all of the HD data did not fit onto 1 CD-R disc, “Insert

CD” message is displayed.

(Displayed when 2 discs are required)

5 To continue recording the remaining HD data to CD-R,

insert the second CD-R disc into the recorder.

• When the CD-R disc is inserted, the recorder starts
burning HD data to the CD-R again.

Notes

• Use CD-R discs that are compatible with the recorder. (☞

• Also, if all of the data will not fit onto one CD-R disc, the
copy method for the final track can be set in [CD Split] in
the preset menu. (

displayed.

If you select No when “MoreCopy?” is displayed, the

display switches to “HD Clear”.

If you wish to format the HD, select YES.
If you wish to create another CD, select No. The display

returns to “MoreCopy?”.

• The progress status is shown in the lower character
display section.

The display is a 10-figure display, with one figure

representing 10%.

• Press the CANCEL button to cancel CD creation.

6 To burn the data again onto a different CD-R disc, turn the

JOG to select “Yes”, and press the JOG.

If you have finished burning to CD-R, select “No” and

press the JOG.

• If you selected “Yes”, CD creation starts again.

• If you selected “No”, all of the HD data is erased.

After all of the HD data is erased, “HD Clear” is displayed

for 3 seconds, after which the display returns to the
default display.

Notes

If an error occurs during CD creation, “Write_Err”
is displayed in the lower section, and the CD-R disc is
automatically ejected from the CD slot.
If a new CD-R disc is inserted, the recorder automatically
starts CD creation again.

Recorded Date and Time of the files on the disc

The CDR310 has the Time/Date stamp function. The track
recorded date and time will be recorded at the Track Title of
the CD Text for CD-DA discs, and at the Track Title of ID3
tags for MP3 discs. A CD player which has the ability of those
text displays can be shown the recorded date and time of
each track.

Notes

Regarding the other files i.e. WAVE, AIFF and also MP3
you can see the recorded date and time on the computer.
Please set the Time Zone of your computer to “GMT 0”
before that to know the actual date and time.

CD Split

When copying the HD data to CD-R disc, the copy method for
the final track when all of the data will not fit onto 1 CD is set
in the CD Split function.

• CD Split On Setting
This setting uses all of the unused space on a CD-R disc

to save data.

This enables the effective use of disc space, and reduces

the number of discs required. Also, when creating a CD
with data from a meeting, etc., a 30 second overlap of the
beginning and end contents is burned to make it easier to
understand the context.

HD Data

First CD-R

Second CD-R

If track 001 and only part of track 002 can be saved to

the first CD-R as shown in the diagram above, track 001
and part of track 002 are saved to the first disc. Then,
the remainder of track 002 that could not be saved onto
the first disc is saved onto the second disc, starting 30
seconds before the track cut off on the first disc.

• CD Split Off Setting
The final track that could not fit onto the first CD-R is not

saved to the first CD-R, but is saved from the beginning of
the track onto the second CD-R.

Unused space remains on the disc, but it is easier to play

back these tracks because only complete tracks exist on
the same disc.

If a track with a file size larger than the capacity of the disc

is being burned to disc, CD Split Off becomes invalid, and
the track is cut midway.

If the file size of the next track is small, CD Split Off

becomes valid again.

As the recorder can be controlled by hand while holding
the microphone, this is a very useful device in situations
such as recording interviews, etc.

• Microphone remote RC600PMD has 3 buttons, REC,
REC PAUSE, and MARK, which perform the same
functions as the buttons on the recorder.

However, as the CDR310 does not have a marking

function, the MARK button cannot be used.

• The microphone remote has 1 LED that serves as the
REC indicator and peak indicator.

CD-TEXT, ID3 tag

There is no text display function on the recorder. However,

These text displays can be displayed on CD players that
support these text displays.
