1 • Introduction - Features
1 • Introduction
The Yamaha Professional Disc Recorder (YPDR) system is composed of two
parts: the YPDR601 Disc Recorder Unit (referred to in this manual as "the main
unit", and the RC601 remote controller (referred to in this manual as "the con
troller". The two are connected using a 5m (16ft) 50-pin cable (supplied).
1.1 Features
The YPDR system allows the recording of discs which may be replayed
on standard CD players.
Up to 99 tracks may be recorded on one disc, and up to 99 index markers
may be written within each track.
Recording of a disc need not be continuous audio data can be written
from different sources (master tapes, etc).
The operation of the YPDR system is similar to the operation of a tape-re
corder, making disc production analogous to the assembly of a master
tape.
Audio sources may be analog or digital (either SDIF-II or AES/EBU format).
Monitoring may be carried out while recording, either of the source or off-
disc. The monitor output may be analog or digital (AES/EBU format).
Up to seven YPDR601 recorder units may be linked together and con
trolled from one controller for parallel recording, or for disc duplication.
The YPDR system provides two recording modes, as described below:
1.2 TOC PRE
In this mode, the YPDR system writes a TOC (Table Of Contents) before any au
dio data has been recorded. A TOC which references 99 tracks is written. All
tracks are the same length, and the length of each track may be set to 10 seconds
or 30 seconds (selectable from the controller).
If the 30 second track length is selected, the total recording time available on a
disc is 49 minutes, 30 seconds, and if the 10 second track length is selected, the
total recording time available on a single disc is 16 minutes, 30 seconds.
In this TOC PRE mode, the TOC is first recorded, and then audio recording is
carried out. The disc may be removed from the YPDR and replayed on a com
mercial CD player. If the disc is not full, recording of further tracks may be car
ried out on the YPDR for subsequent replay on CD players.
1.3 TOC AFTER
This mode varies from the TOC PRE mode in that TOC data is written on the
disc after all audio data has been recorded. This allows for variable track
lengths, but means that the disc cannot be played on standard CD players until
the TOC has been written. The YPDR, however, is capable of replaying audio
data from discs which do not yet have a TOC written to them. Once the TOC
has been written, no further recording of audio data which can be read by a
commercial CD player is possible.
The maximum length of audio data which can be written in the TOC AR ER
mode is 74 minutes, dependent on media.

1 • Introduction - Applications
1.4 Applications
The YPDR system is suitable for all professional audio applications where
speedy production of a limited quantity of discs is required. Such applications
include:
• Pre-recorded public announcement systems (airports, etc) can use disc
rather than tape.
• Broadcasting stations can store jingles, commercials, etc on disc, rather
than on tape cartridge.
• Radio drama and AV post-production facilities can make up custom disc
libraries of sound effects.
• Recording studios may choose to provide "demo discs" rather than "demo
tapes" for their clients.

2.1 Installation
The main unit may be rack-mounted (3U of rack space is required) or free-stand
ing. To mount the main unit in a rack, make sure the head is locked, and remove
the feet from the bottom of the unit. Next, remove the fixing screws from the
main unit, and attach the supplied rack-mounting ears, as shown in the illustra
tions below:
There is a voltage selector switch at the rear of the main unit. Two positions are
available: 100-120V and 220-240V (both AC). Make sure that the switch is in
the position corresponding to your local AC voltage.
The controller will accept voltages from 10OVAC to 240VAC. No voltage regu
lation setting is necessary.
As with all pieces of precision electronic equipment, follow the following rules
when using the YPDR: do not subject the equipment to shocks or vibration,
avoid extremes of temperature and humidity, avoid use in a dusty environment,
and allow adequate ventilation when in operation (the main unit is fitted with a
fan make sure that this is not blocked).
2.2 Head locking system
IMPORTANT! The main unit is fitted with a laser head lock system. The head
should be locked whenever the unit is transported or moved, even slightly.
Conversely, the head must be unlocked before the unit is operated.
YPDR
Installation and precautions - 5
2 • Installation and precautions - General care and maintenance
To lock and unlock the head, use the slider on the bottom of the main unit (see
the illustration below):
2.3 General care and maintenance
The YPDR is a precision piece of electronic equipment. Avoid exposing the
YPDR to extremes of temperature or humidity.
Avoid exposing the YPDR to a dusty or smoke-filled environment. Clean the sur
faces of the YPDR with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use spray cleaners, thinners
or solvents. A little mild detergent applied to a slightly damp cloth may be used
to remove stubborn stains or grease marks.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside either the main unit or the controller.
Do not disassemble the YPDR. Refer to a Yamaha service center for any repairs
or adjustments.
ALWAYS use the head lock system when transporting or moving the YPDR,
even for a short distance.
When recording, only use blank discs of a type recommended by YAMAHA.
Use of any other kind of disc may not give satisfactory results, and may even
result in damage to the YPDR.
2.4 Warm-up and condensation
The main unit requires 30 minutes after power-on before it can be used. Allow
this amount of time after switching on the unit before attempting recording.
If the main unit is brought into a warm room from a cold environment, internal
condensation may occur. Allow between 1 and 2 hours for the unit to acclima
tize before attempting operation.
2.5 Care of discs
Optical audio discs and CDs are robust storage media, but the rules below
should be followed in order to extend their usable lifetime:
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or bright light of any kind, and keep
them away from strong sources of heat. Avoid storage or use in places
which have a high humidity. If the discs become damp, allow them to dry
naturally, or use an air stream to dry them.
• Before using a disc for recording, remove any dust particles, etc. using an
air stream (gently blow). If any dust particles cannot be removed using this
method, clean the disc with a lint-free cloth. Wipe the non-label side of
the disc radially from center to edge. Do not wipe in a circular path. Do
YPDR
Installation and precautions - 6
2 • Installation and precautions - Copyright
not use thinners, alcohol or solvent to clean discs. Allow the discs to dry
naturally, or use an air stream to dry them. Do not use a cloth.
Do not bend or scratch discs. To avoid mechanical damage to discs, al
ways store them in their cases.
When labelling discs, do not stick labels or paper to the disc. Label them
by writing on the label side only with a fiber-tip marker. The use of any
other writing implement may damage the disc.
2.6 Copyright
NOTE
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material
may infringe copyright laws.
