1 – Introduction—About discs
About discs
CD-R
CD-RW
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.
• 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 recorder, 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.
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.

What is finalizing?
Even after audio data is recorded on a CD-R or CDRW disc, it cannot be played back on a conventional
CD player until the final TOC
recorded on the disc. The process of recording this
TOC data is called “finalizing”.
No further recording can be performed on a finalized
disc. However in the case of a CD-RW, the disc can be
“un-finalized” to allow additional recording (

recorded data, such as the number and playing
times of the songs

5 – Recording
ENGLISH
This section explains how to record on CD-R/CD-RW
media inserted in the disc tray, and how to use various
recording functions.
Before you record
Understanding the following points will help you avoid
unnecessary problems when recording. Before recording, please take a moment to read these.
• The CD specification allows no more than 99
tracks (songs) to be recorded on a disc. Also, it is
not possible to record a song that is shorter than
four seconds.
• If you press the STOP button or PAUSE button
less than four seconds after you start recording,
the recorder will stop or enter record-ready mode
only after four seconds have elapsed. Silence will
be recorded during this time.
• If the number of songs reaches 99 during recording, the display will indicate “Disc Full!” and
“PMA Writing” and then the recorder will stop.
• If the available recording time of the disc is completely used up while recording, a fade-out will be
performed. Then the display will indicate “Disc
Full!” and “PMA Writing” and the recorder
will stop.
• If you insert a disc that has been partially
recorded (and not yet finalized), recording will
continue following the already-recorded portion.
• If you want to record additional material on a CDRW that has already been finalized, you can unfinalize the disc (

Using the sample rate converter
The CDR632 always records at 44.1 kHz (the CD
sampling rate). If you wish to digitally record a signal
of a different sampling rate from a DIGITAL IN jack
(OPTICAL/COAXIAL), you must turn on the sample
rate converter (SRC) as follows.
1 As described in “Basic operation in Menu

item and press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate “SRC> XXX” (you
can select ON or OFF).
2
Turn the MULTI JOG dial to turn the SRC on/
off.
3
To return from menu mode to normal mode,
press the MENU button or the ENTER button.
Note
• If a signal is being received from the DIGITAL INPUT
jack (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) when the SRC is off, the
[DIGITAL] indicator on the display will blink while
recording, record-ready, or monitoring.
• Digital signals other than 44.1 kHz cannot be
recorded if the SRC is off. If you attempt to record, an
error message of “Not Fs44.1K!” is displayed.
Adjusting the input signal
Here’s how to adjust the level of the input signal.
Press the INPUT SELECT button on the front panel

level received from the connected playback
unit.
Set the level as high as possible without allowing
the meters shown in the upper part of the display
to reach the clipping point.
[ANALOG]
5 – Recording—Basic recording operations
Monitoring the input signal
Here’s how to monitor the input signal.
(record)/TR.INCR. button
The outer part of the INPUT controls
adjusts the level of the left channel, and
the inner part adjusts the level of the right
channel. Normally, both parts will move in tan-
dem when you move one part, but you can adjust
the left and right levels individually by holding
down one part while you move the other.
Caution
The INPUT control setting has no effect if the recording
source is a digital signal.
Note
The INPUT control adjusts the level of the input signal
from the ANALOG IN (UNBALANCED) L/R jacks before
it is converted to a digital signal.
3
Use the following procedure to set the level
(digital volume) that is recorded on the disc.
1 As described in “Basic operation in Menu
mode” (→ p.12), access the “VOLUME?”
menu item and press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate “Vol> XXXdB”
(adjustable in a range of –54.0 to 0.0 to +18.0).
2 Turn the MULTI JOG dial to set the
recording level.
If an analog signal is being input, the ideal is
to adjust the level in step 2 using the INPUT
controls, and set the digital volume at 0 dB.
If a digital signal is being input, use this setting to compensate when the level of the signal
is too low or too high.
Caution
Be aware that the signal will clip if you raise the digital
volume inappropriately.

6 – CD-R/CD-RW disc operations
Caution
Be careful that the power is not accidentally turned off
while the finalize, un-finalize, refresh, or disc/track erase
operations are being executed. If this occurs, the data on
the disc will be corrupted, and it is also possible that the
disc itself will become unusable.
This section explains various operations that you can
perform on a CD-R/CD-RW disc, such as finalizing a
recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc so that it can be played
on a conventional CD player, or erasing all or part of
the tracks on a CD-RW disc.

Un-finalizing
ENGLISH
Finalizing
Finalizing is the operation of writing the TOC (Table
Of Contents: information about the recorded data,
such as the number of songs and the playback start
time of each song) to the CD-R/CD-RW media.
A disc recorded on the CDR632 cannot be played
back on a conventional CD player until the final TOC
has been written to the disc. (The CDR632 itself will
be able to play the disc even before it has been final-
ized.)
Normally, no additional recording can be done on
CD-R/CD-RW media once it has been finalized.
However in the case of a CD-RW, you can
