About CD-R and CD-RW discs

1 − Introduction

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 pack-aging of CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:

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 re- used for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs will include the logo one of the following logos:

High Speed

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-RW901MKII. This is in no way a limitation of the CD-RW901MKII itself, but of the difference between the different types of media and the methods used to read them.

There are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs.

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 sensitive to the effects of

•

heat and ultraviolet rays. 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 cases to

•

avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces. When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a

•

soft oil-based 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.

Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from

•

grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality. To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.

Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do

•

not use any protective coating spray. If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a

•

CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

About 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 *TOC has been written at the start of the disc.

*TOC:Table of contents

Information of recorded data, which contains titles, starting and ending addresses, and etc..

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 “Finalizing” on page 33 for details. In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the

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.

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. only the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

1 − Introduction

Environmental considerations

The CD-RW901MKII 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). Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.

•

As the unit may become hot during operation, always

•

leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.

Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating

•

Handling of compact discs

The CD-RW901MKII has been designed for the playback of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Always insert the compact discs into the unit with their

•

label facing upward. To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center

•

of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

electrical device such as a power amplifier. Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for

•

correct operation.

NOTE

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.

serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.” Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of

•

high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping could result.

Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the

•

disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from

•

tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.

Do not use cracked discs.

•

Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-

•

lar promotional, etc. discs.

Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-

•

label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,

•

benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid

•

Never 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 turntable of the CD-RW901MKII. If it sticks to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection

•

system, have been released from several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-RW901MKII.

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

Playing back MP3 files

MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within a directory. In addition, several directories can be combined into one directory. This results in multiple layers of directories and files.

When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a selected directory are available for playback.

When the directory mode is off, the directory configuration is ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are available for playback. Please note that Program playback and Repeat playback only function within directories.

NOTE

Each MP3 ﬁle is handled as a track.

Directories that do not contain MP3 ﬁles directly under them cannot be selected for playback. For example, in the diagram below, under directory A are directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 ﬁles in both directories B and C, directory A cannot be selected for playback, but directory B and C can be selected for playback.

The CD-RW901MKII can play back MP3 files recorded in formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may also be played back.

CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-RW901MKII, have their contents must be within the following maximum limits:

5 − Recording

Before you start recording using the CD-RW901MKII, make sure that you understand the following key points:

Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot

•

be erased from it. You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc.

•

Input selection

To select the input to be recorded, press the INPUT SELECT key on the main unit.

Repeated presses of the key cycle through the following options:

ANALOG

OPTICAL

COAXIAL

AES/EBU

In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being selected, the indicator COAXIAL or OPTICAL lights up.

If the balanced analog signal is selected, the ANALOG indicator blinks. If the unbalanced analog signal is selected, the ANALOG

indicator lights up.

When the digital input AES/EBU is selected, there is no indicator lights up, instead, the word AES/EBU will appear on the

screen for a while.

Balanced/Unbalanced

Optical digital in

Coaxial digital in

AES/EBU digital in

Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and re-recorded.

Analog recording level:

The level of the analog signals received at the ANALOG IN jacks are controlled with the INPUT (L.R) controls. When

recording analog signals, set the digital volume to 0 dB.

Digital recording level:

The level of the digital signal may be controlled using the digital volume menu, as described below.

1. Call up the VOLUME option in the REC sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 16).

Push the MULTI JOG dial to enter the function on.

2. Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to adjust the input volume between -54dB and +18 dB (relative to the original input level).

There is also a -‹ setting which represents a complete

signal cut. The display shows Vol> ---dB for the -‹ setting.

Input monitoring

When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the input signal is output from the OUT jacks (digital and analog),

allowing you to hear the input signal.

Press the RECORD key on the front panel or the remote control when a recordable disc is not inserted.

Frequency conversion

The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The CD-RW901MKII will always record (and play back) CDs at this frequency.

However, if recording through a digital connection (coaxial, optical or AES/EBU) and the source has been recorded at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being played back at a non-standard speed using a varispeed unit (more than 1% away from the standard), the CD-RW901MKII’s internal frequency converter: SRC (Sampling Rate Convertor) will automatically convert the incoming frequency to 44.1 kHz.

3. Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to enter the setting and return to normal mode.

The word Monitor appears on the display to show that the output signal is an echo of the input signal(s).

Exit the monitor mode by using the STOP key.

received, the display shows the REC indicator ﬂashing while recording or when in recording standby mode.

To adjust the level of the source, following the

guidelines in “Input selection” on page 26.

NOTE

The red “OVER” indicators on the meters should never light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units pro-duce extremely unpleasant sounds when distorted, and there is no “headroom” after the 0 mark. If recording digitally from a commercially-produced CD, the volume set in the menu should be 0 dB. This will maintain all the dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. Only boost the signal if the source is exceptionally quiet.

An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut or boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a reading of −16 dB on the meters.

4. Press the PLAY key to start recording.

Pressing the PAUSE key stands by recording tempo-

rarily. To restart recording, press the PAUSE key or

PL AY key again.

5. Press the STOP key to stop recording.

NOTE

When PMA Writing is shown on the display, all keys are ignored.

To conﬁrm the total recording time, use the REC TIME option in the SYSTEM sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 16).

NOTE

Do not vibrate the unit or turn off the power when the unit writes to the disc, otherwise, recording will fail.

Time display while recording

When in record or record ready mode, repeated presses of the

TIME key cycle through four different time modes:

Full disc

If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will automatically insert a fade-out. For example: When recording a long program, just before the end of the disc is reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and the display will

show Fade Out.

When the fade-out has finished, the display shows Disc

Full!. Press the STOP key to exit.

If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if required (see “Erasing” on page 34) and the disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on page 33).

NOTE

OFF is also shown in the time setting, however if selected, the CONT REC function is canceled.

We recommend selecting the same time setting on both units.

If the number of tracks is restricted, the EOM tally signal is not output and the continuous recording cannot be operated.

The CONT REC function remains selected even the power is turned off, so that when the power is turned on again on one of the units, and when the following conditions are met, the unit starts recording:

Both units are connected

•

•

To avoid recording accidently, remove the recordable disc from the unit before turning off the power, or disconnect the units from each other.

Use two CD-RW901MKII units connected only when CONT REC is operated. In any other operation, two units should be disconnected, or set the CONT REC function off on both units to avoid any unexpected recording.

The CD-RW901MKII may take longer for OPC calibration for discs with scratches, grime or dust. To avoid clipping a recording, we recommend not to use such discs, or to select a time setting more than 30s.

3 Connect recording source(s) to both units.

4 Press REC key on the one of the units to start

continuous recording, and Cont Rec lights up in the di splay.

While the one unit is recording, the second unit

should be in stop mode.

When the remaining time on a disc being recorded

reaches the time setting, the unit sends the EOM tally signal to the second unit.

Simultaneously, Now OPC is displayed on the second

unit, and when OPC calibration completes, the unit starts recording.

The two units are now in recording mode during

the time setting selected.

When the first unit finishes recording, the recorded disc should be replaced with another recordable disc for the next recording which starts when the unit receives the EOM tally signal from the second unit. This loop recording will be continued until either of the units is stopped.

NOTE

While the ﬁrst unit is recording, the second unit can be set in recording standby mode. However, it may shorten the unit’s lifetime by running the motor continuously. We recommend to set the second unit in stop mode during stand by.

6 − After recording

This section deals with the actions taken after record-ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for CD-RW discs.

Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinalized” using the CD-RW901MKII, i.e. their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be erased

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier (“About Finalizing” on page 7), in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finalizing.

An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on the CD-RW901MKII by the TOC indicator under the disc type on the display being un-lit when the disc is inserted.

To finalize a disc:

1. Load the unfinalized disc, and with the unit in stop mode, press the FINALIZE key.
