Basics of the CDR-HD1500
Understanding the basics will set you in the right direction before starting recording.
HDD Structure
Data recorded onto the HDD can be explained as follows.
Track and Group
Data is stored in two ways: Track and Group.
Track: Song data as its name implies. When you record song data, or
Tracks, they will be stored in a Group called “Disc.”
Group: There are three types: Disc, Album and Bookmark. All
contain Tracks.
A song can also be called a Track; A Group contains more than one
track.
Group Type
There are three types: Disc, Album and Bookmark.
Disc: Contains recorded Tracks (up to 99 Tracks). Up to 999 Disc
groups can be recorded on an HDD.
Album: A Group or a play list, made up of any combination of Tracks
on the HDD. The data in an Album is a “shortcut” to data held in a
Disc. If the Disc data is deleted, the Album data will also be removed.
Bookmark: A temporary Group of the Tracks you want to play
and/or to include in an Album. You can create more than one Album,
but as its name implies, you can hold only one Bookmark Group at a
time.
Album and Bookmark groups can help you arrange Tracks on the
HDD for playback of your favorite songs and copy them to a CD.

NOTE
You cannot record LPs by directly
connecting the turntable to the
CDR-HD1500 without first
routing through an amplifier with a
PHONO input. If no such amplifier
is available, you will need a
“phono equalizer” to process the
signal to be recorded instead.
Phono equalizers are commonly
sold at audio hardware shops.
