Note on discs

With the following kinds of discs, you may experience a reading failure or noise when recorded to a CD-R or CD-RW. – Discs with adhesive labels attached to them – Irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart or star

shaped)

– Discs with heavy printing on only one section (may

effect the balance of the disc in the disc tray) – Old discs – Scratched discs – Dirty discs – Warped discs

Note on High-Speed Synchro-Recording

When recording a CD, certain conditions may cause the sound to dropout, noise in the recording, or even unwanted tracks on the CD-R or CD-RW. If this happens, clean the CD as described in “On cleaning” above, and record to the CD-R or CD-RW using normal speed Synchro-Recording only.

Note on CD-R or CD-RW playback

Playback of a CD-R or CD-RW recorded by a CD-R or CD-RW recorder may not be possible depending on the recording conditions (e.g., dirty disc, etc.). Also, please note that you need to finalize a CD-R or CD-RW before playing it back on DECK A of this unit or a system other than the one used to make the recording. (Finalizing is a process to complete the recording.) After finalizing a CD-R, you can play it in any conventional CD player. However, depending on the state of the recording, the sound may skip during playback. After finalizing a CD-RW, you can play it in a CD-RW compatible player only.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Playing a disc with MP3 files

Basic Operations

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing audio data. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.

Playback of some MP3 files may not be possible, depending on the encoding.

The encoding method (i.e., the bit rate selected for encoding) will affect the sound quality of the MP3 files created. The bit rate typically used for MP3 files is 128 kbps.

About ID3 tag

ID3 tag is the text information (track title, album title, artist name, etc.) stored in the MP3 files.

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CDRs (recordable CDs), and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs). The disc must be in the ISO 9660*1 level 1 or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.

*1ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long. For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*2Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD has multiple sessions, with each Lead-in to Lead-out segment regarded as a single session. CD-EXTRA: A format in which CD-DA (audio) data are recorded in the tracks of session 1 and computer data in the tracks of session 2. Mixed CD: A format in which computer data are recorded in the first track and CD-DA (audio) data in the following tracks within a session.

continued

Page 10

Notes

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.

• If you add the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

–a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure. –a disc recorded in Multi Session. –a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized

disc).

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi Session CD may be subject to some restrictions on playback. – If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is

recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and MP3 playback is not possible.

– If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is

recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered. When the unit recognizes CD-DA data, MP3 playback is not possible.

– The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined

by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

–A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized

as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files is as follows:

Folder (album)

MP3 files (tracks)

Tree1 Tree2 Tree3 Tree4 Tree5 (root)

Notes

• This player cannot read the MP3 files if the file name does not end with the extension “.MP3”.

• Folders that do not include MP3 files are skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc.

• Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders is 300, and maximum number of folders is 150 (including root folder and empty folders).

• If the maximum number of folders or MP3 files is exceeded, the additional folders/MP3 files are not recognized. For example, if you insert the disc with 151 folders, the player reads only 150 folders.

• This unit can play MP3 files in folders nested up to 8 layers deep in the folder tree.

Page 11

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01”, “02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)

Note on playback of MP3 files

Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 file is recorded, you may encounter such problems as disabled playback, sound interruptions, and noise.

Recording/Editing

Before Recording

About recordable discs

•A recordable disc is an audio CD-R or Audio CDRW with the following logo.

• Audio CD-Rs are recordable only one time. Audio CD-RWs are recordable for multiple times. See page 7 for details.

About finalization

• Finalization is a final editing process that allows recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs to be played in other players.

• Once a CD-R has been finalized, the recorded material cannot be changed. The recorded material on a CD-RW can be altered even after finalizing it. See page 30 for details.

• Unfinalized discs can only be played back on DECK B of this unit. See page 7 for details.

About the Serial Copy Management System

• The Serial Copy Management System allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source. This unit conforms to the Serial Copy Management System.

• You cannot perform a digital recording from a digitally recorded CD-R or CD-RW. In this case, make analog recording.

About recording MP3 files

• MP3 files are converted to audio CD format before being recorded to the disc. Thus the amount of data may increase too much to record on a single disc.

• As this unit recognizes the copyright information for MP3 files, there are following restrictions.

– You can perform only Normal speed Synchro-

Recording. You cannot make a manual recording.

– The digital data is converted to analog data, then

recorded. You cannot make direct digital recordings.

– You cannot adjust the recording level.

• The minimum length of CD-DA is 4 seconds. Therefore, the number of tracks made by the Synchro-Recording may differ from the original disc.

• When recording from DECK A to DECK B, the play and record times shown in the display may be different. This does not affect the recording.

• The maximum number of tracks is 99 due to the system limitations of CD format.

Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32 kHz or 48 kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts.

Tips

• To play the recorded CD on DECK A or another CD player, perform finalization (page 30).

• To record your favorite tracks from the CDs in DECK A, make a program (page 19).

• If the track marks are not marked properly while making an analog recording from an external component, see page 29.

• To record from several discs, see page 26.

Notes on recording

• You cannot record over existing material. The unit automatically starts recording from the end of any existing material.

• Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the CD-R or CD-RW is longer than the playing time of a source CD, especially if you want to record all the tracks.

• If a message appears in the display, refer to “Messages” on page 37.

• Recording automatically stops if recording is paused for more than about 3 minutes.

Note on a copy protection

Some commercial CD may contain a copy protection code that will prevent the disc from being recorded. In this case, “Cannot Copy” and either “C12” or “C41” will appear alternately in the display.

Do not move the unit or disconnect the unit from power source in the following situation. Recording may not complete successfully.

• When “Finalize,” “Unfinalize,” “Erase,” or “OPC” appears in the display: The unit is currently updating the table of contents (TOC).

• When “PMA Writing” appears in the display: The unit is currently updating the track information.

Synchro-Recording a CD to CD-R or CD-RW

You can easily make digital recordings from a CD to a CD-R or CD-RW. Before recording, see page 21.

There are 2 types of Synchro-Recording.

Make-Disc Synchro-Recording (Make Disc On)

Records a CD in the original order of its track number regardless of the selected play mode, and finalizes the disc. Be sure to use a disc that has not been recorded. (“Blank Disc” should appear in the display when you put the disc in DECK B.) To use Make-Disc Synchro-Recording, set “Make Disc” in the Menu to “On” beforehand (page 36).

• CD text (if contained in the disc) is recorded automatically. You can label the disc name or track name (up to 70 characters each, and 40 tracks per disc).

Note

When DECK A is in the Program mode, Make-Disc Synchro-Recording is canceled regardless of the menu setting.

Synchro-Recording (Make Disc Off)

• After recording, you must finalize the disc. Until the disc is properly finalized, it cannot be played on any CD players. See “Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW” on page 30.

• CD text contained in the disc is not automatically recorded on the disc. To label tracks/discs, see “Labeling Tracks/Discs” (page 33).

Using the Silent Pause function

If there has been no sound input for about 30 seconds during recording, the unit pauses recording.

If the unit continues pausing for about 3 minutes after the Silent Pause Function activated, recording stops automatically.

Note that this function does not activate if the unit is Synchro-Recording from a CD on DECK A.

Tip

You can turn off the Silent Pause Function. For details, see “Using the Menu” (page 36).

Using the Post Gap function

You can insert the silence of 2 seconds between the songs, when recording more than two tracks at once. The silence is inserted in the following situations.

• When recording is stopped.

• When the disc of DECK A changes to the next disc during Synchro-Recording.

To use the function of adding Post Gap

Set “Post Gap” of the menu to “On” when the unit is stopped. For details, see “Using the Menu” on page

36.

Using the SBM (Super Bit Mapping) function

When performing analog recordings (recording from ANALOG IN jack, or synchro-recording MP3 files), the SBM function enables you to record the equivalent of 24-bit high quality sound by mapping the initial 24-bit A/D conversion to 16-bit without reducing the sound quality. This is made possible by incorporating a noise-shaping filter in the 24bit A/D converter of this unit, which has a frequency range designed to cover the range of human hearing.

Press SBM. The indicator lights up. When you press the button again, the function

is canceled and the indicator turns off.

Notes

• You cannot change the setting while recording.

• When performing digital recordings (recording from DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack, or recording from DECK A), the SBM function is automatically canceled.

Recording the original sound from the program source (Direct Recording)

You can record audio as it is when recording a digital signals with 44.1 kHz sampling rates without going through the devices internal circuits. Set “Direct” in the menu to “On”. For details, see “Using the Menu” on page 36.

Notes

• When recording digital signals with sampling rates other than 44.1 kHz, the signal will automatically pass through the device’s internal sampling rate converter before recording, even when “Direct” is set to “On”.

• The recording level is set to the setting adjusted in the menu.

• During Synchro-Recording, the Direct Recording function works regardless of the menu setting.

Message

C12/ Cannot Copy

C13/ Rec Error

C14/ TOC Error

C41/ Cannot Copy

Explanation

You are trying to record a disc that cannot be played back in DECK-A or with an external device, such as CD-ROM or VIDEO CD.

• Remove the disc, and then insert a music CD for playback.

Recording has not been completed successfully because of vibration.

• Relocate the unit in a place free of vibration and restart the recording again.

The disc you try to record is excessively dirty (such as oilstained or finger marked) or scratched. Or the disc is not normal.

• Replace the disc with another one and restart the recording again.

The unit did not read the TOC information.

• Insert other discs.

The sound source you are trying to record is a copy of a commercial music software. Or you are trying to record on a CD-R/CD-RW digitally.

• Because of the restriction of the Serial Copy Management System, you cannot record copies of commercial music software or MP3 files on DECK A. Neither can you digitally record from a CD-R/CD-RW.

• Use analog recording through the ANALOG IN jack when you record from other units. Or use Synchro-Recording when you record from DECK A. (The recording mode is automatically changed to analog recording.)

C71/ Din Unlock

If this message is displayed momentarily, this is not an error. It is caused by the digital signal during recording.

During recording of a digital sound source, the connecting cable has been disconnected or the player of the sound source has turned off.

• Connect the cable or turn on the digital player.

System Limitations

Troubleshooting

“TOC Reading” appears in the display for a long time

Regardless of the disc, “TOC Reading” appears in the display of DECK B longer than in that of DECK A. This is because, DECK B is a CD-R/RW writer and reads various version information while setting optimum recording condition.

Limitations when recording over an existing track

• The correct remaining recording time may not be displayed.

• The remaining recording time may be inaccurately displayed relative to the total recorded time.

• You can record up to 99 tracks.

Note

When you turn on the unit, you will hear some mechanical noise from the unit. This is not a malfunction.

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the unit, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem.
