INTRODUCTION

Recording and playback of some material may require permission. For further information refer to the following:

- Copyright Act 1956

- Dramatic and Musical Performers Act 1958

- Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972

- 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

Unpacking

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.
