TASCAM CD-RW700 5

1 - Introduction

The CD-RW700 CD rewritable recorder allows you to make your own CDs from a variety of sources— other CDs, MD recordings, analog cassette tapes, and records.

Tracks can be recorded all at one time, or added, until the disc is “finalized”, allowing it to be played on CD players.

NOTE

Some models of CD player may be unable to play certain discs produced using the CD-RW700.

A variety of sophisticated features are incorporated in the CD-RW700, allowing a wide degree of flexibility.

The CD-RW700 provides analog unbalanced audio inputs and outputs for connection to –10 dBV equipment.

In addition, coaxial and optical inputs and outputs are provided for recording from and playing back to suitably-equipped digital audio equipment.

The analog and digital signals may be mixed, allowing unprecedented versatility while recording.

24-bit digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters provide excellent recording and playback quality.

A sampling frequency convertor is incorporated, allowing the recording of CDs from digital audio sources which are at frequencies other than the CD standard sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

Track divisions can be entered manually, or can produced automatically as a response to the input signal level.

A recording buffer ensures that even the first milliseconds of a track are recorded, and a rehearsal mode allows the precise positioning of track divisions, allowing the elimination of false starts or late entries.

“One-touch” fade-ins and fade-outs over a specified time allow you to edit program material to your specific requirements.

A multi-function “multi jog” dial is used to set and confirm parameter settings.

A wireless remote control unit allows control of the CD-RW700 from remote locations.

NOTE

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 holder or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the copyright, or have obtained the appropri-

ate permission from the copyright holder or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution thereof may result in severe 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-RW700.

1.1 About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The CD-RW700 uses CD-R and CD-RW Digital media.

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:

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks 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-RW700. This is in no way a limitation of the CD-RW700 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-RW700, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

6 TASCAM CD-RW700

For details of disc brands that are known to work well with the CD-RW700, see 1.4.5, “Recommended media”.

1.2 Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard 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 disk. See 5.1, “Finalizing” for details.

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

In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be “unfinalized”, i.e. the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

1.2.1“Recordable” discs

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

1.2.2About this manual

In this manual, we use the following conventions:

•The names of keys and controls are given in the following typeface: ERASE.

•When the alphanumeric portion of the display shows a message, this is shown in the following typeface: Welcome.

•If a preset indicator in the display (i.e. one which cannot change, but is either on or off) is shown, this is shown as follows: SHUFFLE.

•When referring to a front or rear panel control or feature, the following typeface is used to show the number of the feature (as given in the diagram in

this manual, and the corresponding explanation):

5.

•When referring to a remote control key, the following typeface is used to show the number of the key

(as given in the diagram in this manual, and the corresponding explanation): 5.

1 • Introduction—Finalizing

1.3 Unpacking the CD-RW700

When unpacking the unit, you should find the following items, in addition to this manual:

•The main unit itself

•The remote control unit

•Two AA batteries for the remote control unit

•A rack-mounting screw kit

1.3.1Rack-mounting the unit

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

See 1.4, “Environmental considerations” below for details of ventilation, etc.

1.4 Environmental considerations

The CD-RW700 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:

The nominal temperature should be between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). The CD-RW700 is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.

Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing.

As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it.

You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid possible problems with overheating.

Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation. Do not mount the unit in a rack tilted 5˚ or more from the vertical position.

TASCAM CD-RW700 7

1 • Introduction—Environmental considerations

NOTE

If the mounting surface is more than 5 degrees away from the horizontal, it will not open or close.

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

NOTE

When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CD-RW700, in case you need to transport it in the future.

In addition, when transporting the unit, you should tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit.

•Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.

•Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

1.4.1 Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours with the power turned on, then turn the power off and on again.

1.4.2Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the mechanism of the CD-RW700. If it sticks to the mechanism, you will need a technician to get it out.

1.4.3 Handling of compact discs

Observe the following:

•Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward (compact discs can only be played on one side).

•To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case, and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

•Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

•Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip”.

•Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperature can warp the disc.

•Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs.

•To keep the laser pickups clean, don’t touch them. For the same reason, don’t leave the disc trays opened unnecessarily.

1.4.4Additional notes with regard to CD-R and CD-RW discs

There are additional precautions that you should take when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs, that are different to those that 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 discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where

8 TASCAM CD-RW700

1 • Introduction—Environmental considerations

direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen- erating electrical devices.

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

•Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

•When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oilbased 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 disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

1.4.5Recommended media

An up-to-date list of manufacturers who produce media suitable for use in the CD-RW700 can be
