TASCAM CD-RW5000 5

1 - Introduction

The TASCAM CD-RW5000 allows you to make your own standard audio CDs, using cost-effective standard CD-R discs. CD-RW discs can also be used, allowing bad “takes” and tracks to be erased and re-recorded as well as allowing whole discs to be reused.

The CD-RW5000 permits tracks to be added one at a time, or together, until the disc is “finalized”, allowing it to be replayed on audio CD players.

NOTE

Some models of CD player may not be able to play certain discs produced on the CD-RW5000.

The CD-RW5000 provides professional-level

+4 dBu balanced inputs and outputs as well as unbalanced inputs and outputs at –10 dBV. Trimmer potentiometers are provided on the balanced outputs to allow precise signal matching.

The CD-RW5000 also provides a comprehensive set of digital inputs: AES/EBU professional and SPDIF consumer formats are both supported. The SPDIF connectors are provided in both coaxial (RCA) and optical form, and coaxial and optical digital outputs are also provided in this format.

A sampling frequency converter is included in the CD-RW5000, so that material from sources which have not been recorded at the standard CD frequency of 44.1 kHz (i.e. 48 kHz and 32 kHz) can be recorded using digital transfer.

When recording from digital sources, the CD-RW5000 can read not only the audio data, but the track start data, etc., allowing automatic transfer of material from DAT, etc. without the need for manual intervention.

A wired remote control allows easy operation of the CD-RW5000 from anywhere in the project location.

NOTE—Important notice

This product is designed to help you record and reproduce sound works to which you own the copyright, or where you have obtained permission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the copyright, or have obtained the appropriate permission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized recording,

reproduction or distribution thereof may result in severe civil and criminal penalties under copyright laws and international copyright treaties. If you are uncertain about your rights, contact your legal advisor. Under no circumstances will TEAC Corporation be responsible for the consequences of any illegal copying performed using the CD-RW5000.

1.1 About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. The packaging of CD-R discs will include the following logo:

It is also possible to use discs which are marked as “CD-R Digital Audio for Consumer”.

By contrast, the CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track recorded can be erased before the disc has been “finalized”, and the space on the disc can be reused for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs will include the a logo similar to the following:

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable on the CD-RW5000. This is in no way a limitation of the CD-RW5000 itself, but of the difference between the different types of media and the methods used to read them.

CD-R discs created on the CD-RW5000, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

For details of disc brands that are known to work well with the CD-RW5000, contact your TASCAM dealer.

6 TASCAM CD-RW5000

1.2 Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, an audio CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc.

The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disc. See 4.6, "Finalizing discs" for details.

In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the disc may be erased, and the disc re-used.

1.2.1 “Recordable” disc

In this manual, we use the term “recordable disc” to describe either a CD-R or a CD-RW disc which has not been finalized, i.e. further recording is still possible.

1.2.2 About this manual

In this manual, we use the following typeface to indicate a feature of the CD-RW5000 or its remote control: the PLAY key. The numbers of the features are given in square brackets [13] and correspond to the numbers in 2, "Parts of the CD-RW5000". Where a feature is duplicated on the main unit and the remote control unit, both numbers are given.

Messages appearing on the display of the CD-RW5000 are given in the following typeface:

NO DISC.

1.3 Unpacking the CD-RW5000

When you unpack the CD-RW5000, you should find, in addition to this manual:

•the main unit itself

•the remote control unit with its attached cable

•a rack-mounting screw kit

1.3.1 Rack-mounting the CD-RW5000

Use the rack-mounting screw kit to mount the CD-RW5000 in a standard 19-inch rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it

1 - Introduction

in a rack, See 1.4, "Environmental considerations" below for ventilation, etc. parameters.

1.4 Environmental considerations

The CD-RW5000 should be operated in an environment which provides adequate ventilation. We recommend that a space of 1U is left above the unit when it is rack-mounted.

Avoid exposing the CD-RW5000 to excessive heat or extremes of temperature (between 5˚C and 35˚C— 41˚F and 95˚F), as well as avoiding excessively humid conditions. The CD-RW5000 is somewhat more sensitive to extremes of temperature than audio CD players.

The CD-RW5000 should be operated in a horizontal position (i.e. the front panel should be vertical). Avoid mounting the CD-RW5000 in a rack which is tilted more than 5˚ from the vertical.

The AC voltage supplied to the CD-RW5000 should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel of the unit. If you are in any doubt, consult an electrician.

NOTE

When transporting the CD-RW5000, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CD-RW5000, in case you need to transport it in the future.

In addition, when transporting the CD-RW5000, you should tape the disc tray closed, using adhesive tape which will not spoil the finish of the unit.

TASCAM CD-RW5000 7

1 - Introduction

1.5 Use of CD-R and CD-RW discs

The Compact Disc medium is a robust medium, and the discs can survive a good deal of physical abuse. However, there are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs which are different to those you should take when handling ordinary CDs.

Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.

CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of

heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their “jewel cases” to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.

When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a soft felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth and/or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl alcohol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc.

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
