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 ma y 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 TEA C 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 re- used
for other recordings. The packaging of CD-R W 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 satisf actorily
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.

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.
1.2.2About this manual
In this manual, we use the following typeface to indicate a feature of the CD-RW5000 or its remote control: the
given in square brackets
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.

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.
A void e xposing the CD-R W5000 to e xcessiv e 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.
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
1.3.1Rack-mounting the CD-RW5000
Use the rack-mounting screw kit to mount the
CD-RW5000 in a standard 19-inch rack, as shown
below . Remo ve the feet of the unit before mounting it
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.

1.5 Use of CD-R and CD-RW discs
heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical
devices.
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
Always store CD-R and CD-R W discs in their “je wel
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.
