About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The main unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in audio CD format (CD-DA).

Remember to finalize a disc recorded with the CD recorder. <

Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the < recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.

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

Cautions for use

Do not use cracked discs as doing so may cause a malfunction. <

Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the < label side might be sticky and damage the unit.

Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not < use any protective coating spray.

Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the < label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers < with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause them to malfunction.

Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, < business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

Handling disc

Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side < uppermost. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)

Storing disc

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

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and < temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

CD-R and CD-RW 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 direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

Dirt on the disc may cause the sound to skip or lower the sound < quality. Always keep it clean when storing.

Maintenance

Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the < center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth.

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

The provided remote control unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.

Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective < range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control. The remote control may not work if the remote sensor is exposed < to direct sunlight or electric lighting. In this case, move the main unit. If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which < generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Insert two “AA” (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive “+” and negative“_” poles positioned correctly.

Close the cover.

ENGLISH

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones. For more information about collection of batteries, please contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the items.

Precautions concerning batteries

Misuse of batteries could cause them to rupture or leak leading to fire, injury or the staining of nearby things. Please read and observe the following precautions carefully.

Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “ <+” and negative “_” polarities. Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of < batteries together. Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. < Refer to the precautions on their labels. When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time < (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones. Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old < batteries by throwing them in a fire. Do not carry or store batteries with metal accessories. Doing so < may cause short-circuiting, leakage, breakage, etc.

CD-R and CD-RW

A CD-R disc can be recorded only once. Recorded tracks cannot be erased. However, if some recording time is still available, additional recording is possible. If you finish recording and finalize the CD-R disc, it can be played with a normal CD player. (Some CD players may not be compatible.)

On a CD-RW disc, even if no recording time is available, you can erase tracks already recorded and record tracks repeatedly. You can erase all tracks at once or the last track only. However, you cannot erase only tracks in the middle of the disc.

CD-RW discs can only be played with compatible CD players.

Auto sampling rate converter

The following three sampling frequencies are used for usual digital audio:

48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

If the unit detects a digital broadcast, DAT, or other sources of sampling frequencies different from those of CDs, or pitch-controlled digital signals, the sampling frequencies are automatically converted to 44.1 kHz. Thus, sources with sampling frequencies from 32 kHz to 48 kHz can be recorded as high quality digital signals.

Serial Copy Management System

This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

In the stop mode, hold down the CLEAR button for more than 2 seconds.

Rule 1

A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through a digital input connection. However, further digital to- digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations.

Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.

Before Recording

Recording (1)

Before you start recording, make sure that you understand the following points:

Up to 99 tracks can be recorded according to the CD standards. When a 100th track is about to be recorded, recording will stop automatically.

A track less than 10 seconds in length on an audio CD cannot be recorded .

< (H)

If the Stop seconds from the beginning of a track, the unit continues to record no signal and stops when the track’s length reaches 10 seconds.

When recording is finished, “PMA WRITE” blinks for a few seconds, and then the unit goes into the stop mode. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit while recording or “PMA WRITE” blinks.

When the available recording time reaches 0, recording will stop automatically.

If a half-way recorded disc is inserted, recording continues next to the last recorded track.

You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a CD. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be unfinalized, erased and re-recorded.

When the auto track function is used, the tracks are separated based on the specified level. Therefore, if a silent part is contained at the beginning or in the middle of a track, the playback time may not be the same as the actual length of the track.

Recording (2)

S-LVL-60/50/40/30 (The track numbers are automatically added)

The auto track function activates and “A-TRACK” appears. The displayed number indicates the increment level. The track numbers are automatically added during recording. If a track change is detected via DIGITAL or if silence (lower than the increment level) continues for three seconds or longer then the next track starts (when sound becomes louder than the increment level) via ANALOG, and the track numbers are automatically updated.

* Increment level Sound level to detect “silence” to add track numbers using auto track when recording from external devices via ANALOG or to perform synchronous recording for digital sources such as CD, MD, and DAT. This instruction manual describes “silence” as the situation where the recording source level is lower than the specified increment level.

−60, −50, −40, and −30 dB can be selected.

MANUAL (The track numbers are not automatically added)

In MANUAL mode, the track numbers are not automatically added. To add track numbers manually, press the RECORD button.

The setting can be configured for DIGITAL and ANALO G respectively. < When the power is turned on, the setting is –60dB for DIGITAL, and –50dB for ANALOG.

The setting is stored until the power is turned off. <

If a CD is recorded via DIGITAL, the track numbers are added based < on the CD's digital signals. There is usually no need to change the increment level.

In digital recording, even if the auto track function is activated, < track numbers may not be added depending on the digital source player. In such a case, add track numbers manually (see page 19).

When you record digital broadcasts or other sources without < track numbers, track numbers are not added even if the auto track function is activated. To add a track number, press the RECORD button while recording a track.

When you record classical music or other sources containing silent < parts via ANALOG, track numbers may not be properly added even if the auto track function is activated. To add a track number in this case, deactivate the auto track function, and press the RECORD button while recording a track.

If track numbers are not properly added

When you record sources with interference via ANALOG, track numbers may not be added if the increment level is lower than the interference level. In this case, set the increment level higher than the interference level.

If there is little interference and the track starts with a small sound resulting in the beginning of the recorded track being truncated, set the increment level lower.

Press the RECORD button.

A track cannot be less than 10 seconds in length. The RECORD < button will not work if it is pressed within 10 seconds from the beginning of a track.

Synchronous Recording

The convenient synchronous recording function automatically starts recording when receiving analog or digital signals from an externally connected device such as a CD player and MD deck, and stops recording when signal reception is complete.

For CD, MD, or DAT, synchronous recording starts when a digital signal is detected, which is the beginning of a track. Synchronous recording stops if there is a period where the sound is quieter than the specified increment level lasting five seconds.

For digital sources other than the above or analog sources, synchronous recording starts when a sound louder than the specified increment level is detected. Synchronous recording stops if there is a period where the sound is quieter than the specified increment level lasting 8 seconds.
