GENERAL INFORMATION

English

Congratulations on the acquisition of your CD-Recorder. This CD­Recorder now enables you to record, play and erase your own audio
Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used to play all
pre-recorded CDs.

With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying, you
can now create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD. The
discs used to record must bear the logos shown below. Copyright
fees have been paid on these discs in some countries. Recording on
other types of discs (e.g. CD-R for professional recordings) is not
possible.

There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs:
CD-R(W) discs have a compatibility to play/record on the CD­Recorders based on the ORENGE BOOK Part II/III. But the discs might
not be able to be played/recorded properly depending on the
combinations of the discs and CD-Recorders.

1 CD Recordable Audio (record once):

Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R discs can
be played on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for
CD-R discs. A CD-R disc can be recognized by the following logo:

Recordable

2 CD ReWritable Audio (multiple recording):

Recorded and finalized audio CD-RW discs can be played on all
CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-RW discs. An
increasing number of players and recorders will be suitable for
these discs in the future. A CD-RW disc can be recognized by the
following logo:

ReWritable

The CD-R(W)disc for ‘DIGITAL AUDIO’ can be both recording and
playing on this CD-Recorder. In addition, this CD-Recorder can play
the CD-R(W) disc for ‘PROFESSIONAL RECORDING’, but cannot
record it.

Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it is to
‘make’ your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use an
erasable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first attempt, while
following the instructions given here.

Recordable

ReWritable

Attention!

Recordings may only be made for personal use.
It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, in-

cluding computer programs, films, television and audio
recordings. This appliance may not be used for applications
of this type.

Unpacking

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

- CD-Recorder DR4050

- Remote control with batteries packaged separately

- Audio cables (2 - with red and white plugs)

- Power cord

- Instructions

- Guarantee

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

2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the recorder
for proper ventilation.

Attention!

If the appliance 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

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 DR4050
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.Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.

Always keep the disc surface clean.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.

Note: Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R(W)

discs because of the low reflectivity of such discs.

Because of laser power differences, some DVD
players cannot play the finalized CD-R(W) discs.

Read the text carefully and keep the instructions close at hand so
that you can refer to them if necessary.

• 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND DISCS

• 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.

If the CD-Recorder cannot 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 CD-Recorder is suddenly moved
from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to play a CD then.
Leave the CD-Recorder in a warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

For playback on the CD recorder (and/or CD player deck) the
following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD & CDR);

- Analog output (CD & CDR).
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CDR input on
your amplifier.

For external recording the following inputs are present:

- Digital optical input;

- Digital coaxial input;

- Analog input.

For playback of CD player deck separately (DJ mode) from the
CD recorder the following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD);

- Analog output (CD).
We advise you to connect these to the CD input on your
amplifier.

The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities
your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals
for your other audio equipment first.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best
performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).

(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external
disturbances).
If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high
quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will
ensure very good audio performance when recordings are
made from the analog input.

Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder
gives the best audio performance.
If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high
quality Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a
very good sound quality via the analog output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. In this way you can always make analog
recordings when digital recording is not possible.

We have described the most common ways of connecting the
CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the connections
you can always contact the Marantz Consumer Service desk
in your country.

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first
try.
We will describe:

- Recording from internal CD player deck: high speed or
listen mode.

- Recording from an external CD player deck: syncronized
start with CD player or manual start. (analog or digital).

•If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized you must
unfinalize it first.

•The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and
CDRWs.

•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.

•CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and
during recording.

•CD text can not be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the CD
player.)

•The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the
internal CD player deck. (If not subjected to copy
protection.) This may take up to 2 minutes.

•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. DOES NOT FIT then lights up.

•If the display indicates COPY PROTECT, no digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.

•The

SSeerriiaall CCooppyy MMaannaaggeemmeenntt SSyysstteemm

(SCMS) only

allows digital recording under specific conditions:

- This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy

from a digital copy.

- Analog recording is always possible!

- The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

•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.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any
regular CD player, it must first be finalized. See
finalizing discs.

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible
CD players.

The CD-Recorder records the text memory simultaneously
when using the internal CD-deck. Some discs are
prohibited to copy the text memory. If such a disc is
copied, no text memory will be recorded.

Your recorder offers several recording modes.

FFoorr rreeccoorrddiinngg ffrroomm iinntteerrnnaall CCDD--ddeecckk::

-

RECORD FAST

(high speed digital recording) - fast recording

of a disc or programmed tracks.

-

REC LISTEN

(normal speed digital recording) - listening to a

recording while making it.

-

MAKE CD

(high speed digital recording and auto-finalize) ­fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording
will be finalized automatically.

Warning:

No more recording possible after finalizing CDR

disc!

FFoorr rreeccoorrddiinngg ffrroomm eexxtteerrnnaall ssoouurrcceess::

-

REC EXT DISC

(automatic start of recording) - to make an
automatic recording of an external source simply by starting
the source.

-

REC EXT MAN

(manual start of recording) - to start a manual

recording from an external source.

SSoommee rreemmaarrkkss oonn rreeccoorrddiinngg::

- During high speed recording, the original recording quality
will be maintained.

- When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will
automatically be increased during recording.

- By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.

- If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be
displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is
pressed, the disc will be unfinalized. -

- When you copy a special disc such as HDCD or DTS, you
have to

•set the sampling frequency at 44.1kHz.

•use the digital connection.

•set the digital rec-volume of the CD-Recorder at 0 dB.

- When you copy the tracks from a DAT recorded by different
sampling frequencies, noise might be recorded in the disc.
Please set a sampling frequency for every track in a DAT.

- This CD-Recorder can record about 17 seconds of a pause
time, which decreases the time count just before music
start in a track on the display. If you record a track including
more than 17-seconds-pause time by digital recording, the
pause time will be recorded the different length of time
from original. However, the entire track time will not be
changed and be able to listen to the music as same as
original.

Note: If during recording

ANALOG REC

appears, the track
will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other
tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).
