- Any subsequent statutory enactments and orders

Congratulations on your purchase of the CDR500 CD recorder. This unit enables you to record, play, and erase (using CD-RW discs) your own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used to play all pre-recorded CDs.

CD-R and CD-RW Discs

With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying, you can create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD. The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below.

There are two types of recordable discs: 1

CD-R (record once): CD-R discs are only able to be recorded onto a single time but

will playback in most CD players. CD-R discs can be recognized by the following logos:

Recordable

2 CD-RW (multiple recording):

CD-RW discs are able to be recorded onto many times but will only playback in CD players offering CD-RW compatibility. Products that offer CD-RW playback compatibility are available from Marantz, Marantz Professional, and Superscope. Please contact your dealer for more information on these products. CD-RW discs can be recognized by the following logos:

ReWritable

Note:

- Most DVD players cannot playback CD-R discs and some cannot playback CD-RW discs because of laser power differences.

- Some CD players may be able to playback finalized CD-RW discs.

- Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R discs because of the low reflectivity of such discs.

Recordable

ReWritable

First check the contents of the packaging. It should contain the following:

- CD-Recorder/CD-Player CDR500

- Remote control with batteries packaged separately

- Power cord

- Digital coaxial cable (black)

- Stereo RCA Audio cable (red and white)

- Instructions

If one of these components is missing, please inform your supplier immediately. Save the packaging material it may come in handy if you move the appliance.

Setup

- Place the recorder on a strong, vibration-free surface.

- Do not use the recorder under extremely damp conditions.

- If the recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 1"(2.5 cm) space remains free on all sides of the recorder for proper ventilation.

Attention!

If this unit is not used or operated in accordance with the instructions, this may result in exposure to dangerous radiation or other risks.

Only authorized technicians are allowed to open the appliance casing or to perform repairs or maintenance.

Compact Discs Care

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.

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

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.

Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.

ENGLISH

The CDR500 is able to record onto any 1X or 2X compatable CD-R and CD-RW disc, including discs for Consumer use and Professional (computer) discs. For a list of recommended discs, please see the Marantz Professional website at www. marantz. com

Note:

For both CD-R and CD-RW discs, only discs that are compatible with 1X or 2X recording should be used.

It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, including computer programs, films, television and audio recordings. This appliance may not be used for applications of this type.

CDR500U Eng 01-14 10/11/00, 9:31 AM1

Wipe in a radial direction. Do not wipe in circumferential direction.

ENGLISH

INTRODUCTION

• Do not use record cleaner to clear a disc, 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 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 CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may result.

• Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

• 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.

Maintenance

Clean the CDR500 with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Do not expose the CDR500, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

If the CDR500 in unable to read CDs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lenses may cloud over when the CDR500 is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to play a CD then. Leave the CDR500 in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Remote control cable connections

The REMOTE CONTROL (RC5) jacks on the back panel allow an external remote control system to control the playback functions of the CDR500. The control system is called RC5 and the chart on the right provides the control code list. For more information on the RC5 system and details regarding it's operation, please contact Marantz Professional.

1. Connect a remote control cable to the CD recorder from a control system based on the diagram below:

Remarks about recording

• The recording procedure is the same for CD-Rs and CD-

RWs.

• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD-Recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that recording can start from there.

• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record standby mode.

• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

• Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop automatically.

• SRC (Sample Rate Conversion) This CD-Recorder can perform Sample Rate Conversion on the incoming digital signal, it is capable of handling sources ranging from 11 kHz up to 56 kHz. If a non 44.1 kHz (± 100 PPM) source is connected, this CDRecorder will automatically switch on the SRC.

• If the digital source is 44.1kHz (± 100PPM) the SRC will be automatically bypassed.

- If the recording source is a special disc such as HDCD or DTS, you have to

• set source sampling frequency to 44.1kHz.

• use a digital connection.

• set the digital rec-volume of the CDR500 to 0 dB.

- When you copy the tracks from a DAT recorded by different sampling frequencies, noise might be recorded in the disc when the sampling rate changes.

• See page 23 for information about the recording menu settings.

Important:

If you want to play a recorded CD-R disc on any regular CD player, it must first be finalized. (See FINALIZING/ UNFINALIZING page 15.)

Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW compatible CD players.

If the disc is a CD-RW and is already finalized you must unfinalize it first to record onto it.

Disc At Once (DAO) recording

The DAO function makes a complete copy of a source CD without stopping. Therefore, the lead-in (TOC), program (audio data), and lead-out portions of the disc are all recorded without linking point errors. Linking point errors occur every time the laser starts and stops a recording, including when a disc is finalized. A disc recorded using DAO should be completely free of any linking point errors which will allow DAO recorded discs to be used as a master for duplication. The DAO function can also be used for discs that are having trouble playing in some CD players, where the DAO function can act as a “clean up” so that a clean, error free copy can be made of a bad disc.

Finalizing CD-R & CD-RW discs

Finalizing is necessary to:

- be able to play the recorded CD-R/RW disc on a CD player.

- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc.

- avoid erasure of tracks on a CD-RW.

Note:

- A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto again.

- A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for continued recording.

- Finalizing is the process of writing the TOC (Table of Contents) on a disc so that a CD player can recognize the contents of the disc.

- The CD-Player drive is able to play back un-finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Unfinalizing CD-RW discs

For CD-RW discs only.

If you want to make more recordings or erase unwanted tracks on a finalized disc, you must unfinalize it first. The unfinalize process erases the TOC (Table of Contents) from the disc.

The Changer Mode is the default play mode of the CDR500 and will operate in such a way that both the CD-Recorder and CDPlayer drive of the unit work together as one. Only one deck can play at a time and both output from the CDR jacks.

The Changer Mode can be used to continuously play two discs or a program can be created that is amix of tracks between two discs.

The input text data is saved in the text memory until the disc is finalized. Therefore, the data is not written in the CD-R/RW disc before finalizing the disc.

When the text memory is full, appears on the display and you cannot add more text data. In this case, you need to free up more space in text memory. You can either finalize one or more disc(s) to transfer the text data to each disc, or erase (part of) the text data in the text memory.

Note:

When the text memory is full depends on the amount of the input text data per disc and the number of discs. Typically the text memory can store for 50 discs of the text data consisting of 60 characters of an artist name or title for 20 tracks.

connection that contains user data. The user data part of a digital signal provides track information to the CD recorder. User data is usually found only in an SPDIF format digital connection. The AES/EBU standard does support user data information.

If Auto Track is ON and the source you are recording from is analog or digital without user data, the CDR500 will use a silence gap to mark tracks. As the chart below indicates, once the source signal drops below -55dB, the CDR500 will look for

2.7 seconds of no signal (-55dB or below). When the source

signal returns and reaches a level of -35dB, the CDR500 will then mark a new track and continue recording.

Note:

If the silence gap is less than 2.7 seconds or the dB level never drops below -55dB, the CDR500 will probably not mark a track and continue to record on the same track number.

Copy protection

All pre-recorded audio CDs include a digital mark indicating the copy protection status of the disc. This information is stored in the user data area of the disc and is transmitted in the SPDIF format digital output.

Since the CDR500 is a professional CD recorder, it will record from any digital source, ignoring the copy protection setting of the source material. Addtionally, the CDR500 allows you to set the level of copy protection of each disc you record.

There are three settings for the copy protection on a disc:

Copy Protection OFF

This recording allows unlimted digital copying. A consumer digital recording device can digitally record this disc.

Copy Protection ON

This recording allows a single generation digital copy to be made for personal use. A consumer digital recording device will be able to digitally record this disc but the copy will have Copy Protection set to HCO so that further digital copies can not be made.

Copy Protection HCO (Home Copy protected Original)

• adjust the R and L TRIM pots on the back panel to the optimum level

Digital input source indication is flashing

• check the digital cable connections

• check that the output of the digital source is conforms to the SPDIF (or IEC-958-II) standard

• try a different cable to make sure the digital cable is OK

Recorded disc playback quality on other CD players is poor

• make sure to use good quality discs when recording audio

• make sure the discs used for recording are compatible with 1X speed recording

• try recording onto a 'Music' (consumer) type blank disc because they are specially designed for 1X speed audio recording

• If using 80 minute discs, try a 74 minute disc because they provide a wider recording area and thus have a less chance for error

CD-Text appears on CD-Player but not on CD-Recorder

• the CD-Recorder drive does not display the CD-Text on “hybrid” CDs that contain audio and data together on the disc.
