Notes on usable CDs

Notes on usable discs

• CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs

When recording with the DX-R700, you must use compact discs with the following marks printing on them:

*2*1

FOR CONSUMER FOR CONSUMER USE FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

(A disc with any of the above markings.) Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not have one of the above markings.

Copyright fees have been enacted by copyright laws, and these fees are included in the price of CD-R* and CD-RW*2 discs, as well as discs labeled with

“FOR CONSUMER,” “FOR CONSUMER USE,” and “FOR MUSIC USE ONLY.” Therefore, the recording

of music protected by copyright laws with these discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying for purposes other than personal use requires the permission of the copyright holder.

• Compact discs

Always use compact discs with the following mark (optical digital audio discs):

Cautions regarding copyrights

The lyrics and melodies composing the musical elements of media and musical performances from radio broadcasts, compact discs, records, music tapes, original cassettes, and other media are protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in mediaform, or use as background music in stores and the like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express consent from the copyright holder.

CD-R finalization process

After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to perform the finalization process before the CD-R can be played in CD players. After the finalization process is completed, you cannot perform additional recordings.

CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD players even after finalization. CD-RW discs can only be played on players compatible with CD-RW discs. Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be erased even after finalization.

CD TEXT

CD TEXT is a feature added to audio CDs that provides the ability to deliver text information (alphabetic letters, symbols, and numbers) such as disc titles, artist names, track titles, etc. Commercial audio CDs that contain this text information bear the following mark.

Page 13

Notes on usable CDs

Notes on discs

Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as they may damage the internal mechanisms of the DX-R700.

Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause highpitched noises or other unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other connected components.

■ Handling discs

Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.

Label side

Data side

Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become scratched.

■ Cleaning

Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward the outside.

If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the disc surface. Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.

■ Cautions for disc storage

Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in their protective cases.

■ Cautions when using rented compact discs

Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the DX-R700 may become damaged.

■ Do not use 8-cm CD adapters

Condensation

When moving the DX-R700 from a cold location to a hot location, when quickly heating a cold location with a furnace, or other similar situation, condensation may occur. This may not only cause improper operation of the device, but may also damage the discs and components. If condensation has occurred, turn on the DXR700 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you will not use the DX-R700, then eject any disc inside.

Connecting the DX-R700

1 Connecting to an amplifier

Connect the DX-R700 to the CDR, TAPE or MD terminal on the amplifier.

• Connect the red connectors of the supplied audio connection cables to the R-channel terminals and the white connectors to the L-channel terminals.

• Make sure the connectors are properly inserted all the way. If the connectors are not properly connected, noise or improper operation may result.

• Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so may cause deterioration of the audio signal.

2 Connecting the z cable

• With Onkyo components that are equipped with an z connector, use the supplied z cable to connect the z connector to the z connector of the DX-R700.

• The z connectors are only effective if they are used in conjunction with an Onkyo amplifier with an z connector. Do not connect to a component other than an Onkyo component with an z connector. Doing so may damage the DX-R700.

• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.

• Connecting the z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio

cables as well.

3 Connecting to the digital input

Using the digital input, you can record digital audio from compact disc players, DAT decks, and other digital audio components that have a digital output. Connect using the supplied optical digital cable and either the DIGITAL INPUT 1 or 2 input on the DX-R700. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital output terminals.

Notes:

• The optical digital terminal is provided with a protection cap installed. When necessary, remove this protection cap and store it safely. When not using the optical digital input terminal, be sure to put the cap back on the terminal.

• To perform digital input recording, you must connect to the optical digital input terminal. If the digital connection is not made, “D.In Unlock” will appear in the display.

4 Connecting to the digital output

Using the digital output, you can connect to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT deck recorders, and other digital audio recorders that have optical digital input connectors for making digital recordings. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital input terminals.

Recording modes

Cautions during recording

In the following situations, recording is not possible even if the o REC button is pressed.

• The CD indicator is lit (a CD or finalized CD-R has been inserted).

• The CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators are lit (a finalized CD-RW has been inserted).

• The inserted disc is full and “Disc Full” is displayed.

• The 99th track has been recorded and “Disc Full” is displayed.

• The disc is not for audio use or when “Pro Disc” is displayed.

Only the audio signals can be recorded

The DX-R700 is designed for recording audio signals only and therefore only digital signals that are audio signals are recorded. Other CD-ROM and Dolby Digital data, and the like, will not be recorded. Also, when recording from discs that have graphics or text data, only the audio signals will be recorded.

The minimum track length is 4 seconds

For compact discs, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. Even if the e (stop) or g (pause) button is pressed immediately after starting recording, a silent 4-second track will be recorded. Also, during that 4 seconds, you cannot resume recording or perform another operation.

When an unrecordable signal in present during the digital recording

“D.In Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” appears in the display and the recording operation is suspended. The operation will be resumed in response to any recordable signals that may follow.

Do not turn off the DX-R700 while making recordings, finalizing discs, or erasing recordings, or while “PMA Writing” is displayed

An inserted disc can be corrupt and no longer usable if the power is accidentally turned off or in case of power failure.

Normal recording mode

When not connected to a component system, there are a few methods that you can perform to record the signal in from the analog input or digital input of the DX-R700.

■ Analog recording (see page 20)

This method records the signal at the analog inputs. The recording level can be adjusted manually.

■ Digital recording (see page 20)

This method records the signal at the optical digital inputs. The recording level can be adjusted manually. You may need to adjust the recording level when recording low digital signal sources such as satellite broadcasts and the like.

■ Signal synchronous recording (see page 22)

This method allows you to start recording in synchronization with the input signals from the Onkyo products that are not equipped with an z connector or other manufacturer's products.

Recording mode when connecting to other Onkyo products using z cable

When you connect the DX-R700 to other Onkyo products using z cable, you can use the following recording mode.

■ Synchronous recording on the DX-R700 (The recording on the DX-R700 and the playback on the source device start simultaneously.)

• Synchronous recording from the CD player to the DX-R700

• Synchronous recording from the MD recorder to the DX-R700 (Analog recording only)

Note:

If you want to record digitally from the CD player, you must have the optical or coaxial cable from the CD player connected to the DIGITAL INPUT terminal on the DX-R700.

Recording modes

About the level sync function

The level sync function detects the space between tracks (songs, etc.) in the recording source and automatically assigns track numbers to them during recording.

■ When the level sync function is turned on

The track numbers are updated automatically. Press the o REC button to set track numbers manually .

■ When the level sync function is turned off

The track numbers are not updated automatically. Press the o REC button to set track numbers manually .

■ For analog recording

The level sync function automatically turns On. If there are gaps of no sound 2 seconds or longer between tracks in the recording source, the track numbers will be automatically updated.

■ For digital recording

The level sync recording automatically turns on. If the digital signal includes the track number information, the track numbers will be automatically assigned. For satellite broadcasts and other digital signals that do not include track number information, the track numbers will be automatically updated when 2 seconds or more of silence is detected.

Name function

■ Entering a disc name or artist name (see page 28)

You can enter one disc name and one artist name per disc.

■ Entering track names (see page 31)

You can enter up to 99 track names per disc.

■ Erasing the disc name, artist name, and track names (see page 32)

You can erase all the name information retained in the DX-R700.

Finalization

The finalization process writes the TOC data (tracks, etc.) for the disc in a special area on the disc called the PMA. After finalization, CD-Rs can be played in CD players. Even after finalization, CD-RWs can only be played on CD players that are compatible with CD-RWs. For CD-Rs that have been finalized, you cannot add more recordings.

Erasing recording (CD-RW discs only)

The data recorded on CD-RW discs can be erased and the disc can be used again as many times as desired (see page 34). The erasing methods are given below.

• Erasing data on unfinalized CD-RWs

Last track erase: Erases only the last track. Multi-track erase: Erases all tracks from the

selected track to the final track.

All track erase: Erases all tracks.

• Erasing data on finalized CD-RWs

All track erase: Erases all tracks. TOC erase: Returns a finalized disc to the

unfinalized conditions.

• Erasing discs

Erases all data recorded on the CD-RW.

This method allows you to start recording in synchronization with the input signals from the Onkyo products that are not equipped with an z connector or other manufacturer's products. When recording with the Onkyo products equipped with an z connector, refer to “Synchronous recording” on page 24.

Notes:

Note the following when using synchronous recording for digital input sources.

• Sources other than CDs, MDs, DATs, and DCCs cannot be recorded.

• DATs and DCCs cannot be recorded if no start ID is present before audio contents.

• Synchronous recording uses a sub-code signal that is contained in the digital output from most player components, and therefore there may be some CD players, MD recorders, or the like where digital synchronous recording is impossible.

Preparation

• Turn on the DX-R700 (see page 16).

• Place a recordable CD-R or CD-RW in the DX-

R700 (see page 17).

• Verify that the input dial and recording selection button of the amplifier are set to the position of the recording source.

Using the level sync function

During analog recording, the track numbers are assigned automatically since the level sync function is turned on. Even so, you can press the o REC (or the remote controller o REC button) to assign the track numbers manually. To disable the automatic assignment of track numbers during recording, turn off the level sync function. Turn off the level sync function and assign the track numbers manually, if the numbers are not automatically updated due to the situations as follows:

For analog recording

The level sync function uses the recording source level to detect the end and beginning of tracks. Therefore, in the cases given below, the track numbers may not be properly assigned.

• The recording on the cassette tape is poor (e.g., the space between songs contains much noise).

• With music such as classical music where there may be very low volumes.

• Where the space between songs is extremely short.

• If the signal at the tuner is weak (excessive noise).

• When recording from turntables.

For digital recording

• When digitally recording satellite broadcasts, the track numbers may not be assigned properly. If this occurs, turn off the level sync function and set the track numbers manually (see page 21).

• If the time between tracks is extremely short, the track numbers may not be assigned properly.

28).

• Never turn off the power or remove the power cord during finalization. Doing so may damage all the data on the disc. An inserted disc can be corrupt and no longer usable if the power is accidentally turned off or in case of power failure.

• Never finalize discs that are scratched, dirty, or dusty. Doing so may prevent the process from being properly completed. If the process does not finish in 10 minutes, press the e STOP button and abort the process. This disc will not be able to be played with normal CD players.

• During finalization, the operation button on the DX-R700 will be disabled.

Auto finalization

You can perform auto finalization during synchronous recording by input signal detection (see page 22). When auto finalization is turned on, finalization occurs automatically at the end of recording. For details, refer to the applicable pages.

Rules concerning digital recording

Guide to the serial copy management system

You cannot use digital recording to create a secondgeneration copy, a copy of a copy created through digital recording, with a CD-R or CD-RW. This is because the unit conforms to the Serial Copy Management System and permits only one generation of digital-to-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they are). The Serial Copy Management System is based on the following three rules.

Principle 1

Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a copy of a CompactDisc (CD), Digital Audio Tape (DAT), MiniDisk (MD), etc. with a CD-R or CD-RW. However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been created through digital-to-digital copying.

Principle 2

Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that contains the songs

from analog records, FM radio programs, etc. you recorded using the unit. However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been created through digital-todigital copying. When two CD recorders are connected via the analog input and output terminals, however, recording can be performed beyond this restriction.

Principle 3

With a DAT deck or a CD recorder that supports the sampling frequencies of 32 kHz and 48 kHz, digitalto-digital copying can be used to record the digital sound from satellite broadcast. (This CD recorder supports these sampling frequencies.) In this case, digital-to-digital copying is allowed to create a second-generation copy. However, with some BS tuners, second-generation copy may not be produced.

* When CD recorders are connected using analog

terminals, the number of dubbings is not limited.

Troubleshooting guide

If the DX-R700 begins to operate improperly, use the troubleshooting guide below to help you ascertain the problem. Because the unit contains a microcomputer to provide advanced functions, it may malfunction due to external noise or static electricity. If this happens, disconnect the power cord and then plug it in again after about 5 seconds.

About the self-diagnosis function

The DX-R700 is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If a malfunction is detected during operation, one of the messages given below will appear in the front display.
