Always allow at least on inch of free space on all sides of the, unit as well as other electronic products, to allow for proper ventilation, Connections to your Audio System When connecting the unit, think of the process as if you were connecting a standard CD player and a tape or cassette recorder. with the addition of the digital connections. Play-Deck Connections The rear-panel connections labeled CDP refer to the outputs of the Play Deck, which functions as a standard CD player. Connect the analog left/right CDP outputs to the CD inputs on your receiver, preamp or surround processor. For best playback results, a digital connection is recommended using the CDP coaxial output. Connect them to the matching coaxial input of your receiver, preamp, processor or external digital decoder. Note that you may have to change a setting on the receiver or processor to link the digital input to the “CD” button or input selector. Consult the owner's manual on that device for details, as this configuration may vary from unit to unit. Record-Deck Connections The rear-panel connections labeled CDR refer to the inputs and outputs for the Record Deck. Depending on the capabilities of your receiver, preamp or processor, you may find it convenient to connect the analog inputs and outputs to the jacks marked for a tape recorder. As the unit's functions resemble those of a standard tape recorder, this might make it easier for you select it as an input. Connect the analog CDR-Out jacks to the Play/In jacks of a tape or Aux input on your receiver or preamp. Connect the CDR-In jacks to the Tape Rec/Out jacks on your receiver or preamp. To play the output of the Record Deck through the digital decoder in your receiver or an exter- nal processor, connect the CDR Coaxial-Out or CDR Optical-Out jacks to the matching digital- input jacks on your receiver or processor. Note that you may have to change a setting on the receiver or processor to link the digital input to the “Tape” button or the specific input selector associated with the digital inputs. Consult the owner's manual on your receiver or processor for details, as this configuration may vary from unit to unit. To make recordings from extemal digital sources, such as a CD, DVD or MD player, con- nect the CDR Coaxial-In or CDR Optical-In jacks on the CDR to the digital output jacks on your receiver or processor. If your receiver does not have digital-output jacks, you may connect the CDR Digital Inputs on the unit directly to the digital outputs on your CD player or to other digital device. If the CD player has BOTH types of outputs, you may want to connect one to the input of your receiver and the other directly to the unit. Connections to a portable digital CD or MD player may also be made by connecting the Coaxial Digital Output of the player to the Front-Panel Digital Input on the unit. Note that when both are digital inputs are connected, the unit will give priority to the front-panel input. If it is impractical to disconnect the rear-panel input when you need to use the front panel jack, simply tum off the device connected to the rear panel input. This will stop the digital signal, and permit the front panel jack to be used. - 14 - IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL CONNECTIONS: COAXIAL CONNECTIONS : Although digital- coaxial connections use the same type of “RCA” phono jack as standard analog signals, please take special care to connect digital signals only to digital jacks. In many cases, the digital jacks may be identified by an orange colored insert ring around the center of the jack. When making digital connections, be sure to use making digital connections be sure to use coaxiakinterconnect cables, such as the one supplied with the unit or cables intended for video applications. Even though they have the correct type of RCA connector,do not use audio-interconnect cables that have twisted pair construction, as they are not appropriate for digital signal use. If you have any questions about the type of cables to use with the unit, consult your dealer. OPTICAL CONNECTIONS : There are a number of different types of optical connections, so make certain that you use only “TOS” type optical cables with the unit. To ensure proper connection of optical cables, fully insert them into the jack until there is an audible dick. This tells you that the connector has been completely inserted. Remember to save the plastic dust caps that cover the optical jacks, and replace them when a jack is not in use to prevent dust from entering the connection point. CD RECORDING BASICS CD Recorders (CDRs) are similar to standard CD players, with the addition of the features and controls needed for recording. Functions such as play, search and programming for playback will be familiar, but the recorder will function slightly differently than what you may be used to for magnetic tape recorders. Disc Types Unlike a conventional CD player, the unit uses three types of discs, and it is important to understand how each on plays. OST JEG Both decks in the unit will play back any conventional CD that bears this logo. dis ESMAS Discs that bear this logo may be recorded on one time, and when they are finalized they will play in either deck in the unit or in any conventional CD player, including home, car and portable models. The Record Deck on the unit may also be used to record on these discs, and it will play CD-R/Audio discs even if they have not been finalized. recorded on, and they may also be erased and reused. They may be recorded on or played on the Record Deck of the unit and in other CD-RW recorders or CD-RW compatible players. They will NOT play back in most current CD players unless the player is CD-RW compatible. JE ED, ses designed for use in computer CD-R drives may not be used for recording in the unit. Only discs specifically designed for use in consumer CD audio recorders may be used. If you attempt to use a blank-computer-type recordable disc for recording on the unit you will see a CDR indicator in the Information Display and NO AUDIO message appears on the Information Display when ® REC button is pressed, and recording will not be possible. However, discs that have been recorded in the CD-R drive of a computer may be played in the unit, provided that they have been properly finalized in accordance with audio standard IEC958. Note that the unit is specifically designed for the recording and playback of consumer audio discs, and cannot be used to copy data discs, DVD discs, or other optical discs used by video- or computer-game systems. CDR Terminology and Display Messages Compact disc recording has its own terminology, and some of the messages you will see when using the unit may be new to you. Before using the unit, you may wish fo familiarize yourself with some of the terms used by the unit. Additional error message displays may occasionally appear. Finalize :Thisterm refers to the process that completes the recording of a disc by recording a final Table of Contents and preparing the disc so that it may be played on other machines. A CD-R disc may not be played on other CD players until it is finalized. However, once the finalization process is complete, a CD-R disc may not be recorded on again. CD-RW discs only may be “Unfinalized"so that additional tracks may be recorded on a disc. TOC : Stands for Table of Contents and it refers to the data recorded on each CD thattells the player how many tracks are on the disc, the total time of the disc and the running time of each individual track. Each time a disc of any sort is placed in the unit, you will see a TOC to indicate that the unit is reading this data from the disc. This is required to copy the track information to any recording. OPC : Stands for Optical Processing Calibration. When you see this message in the Information Display for the Record Deck, it means that the laser transport inside the unitis making the calibrations and adjustments needed so that the recording process is optimized for the specific disc in use. BUS Y : When you see this message, it means that the Record Deck is completion part of the record operation. When you see this message, do not press any buttons, simply wait until the message clears from the display. - 15 - DISC FULL : This message will appear when there is not enough room left on an unfi- nalized disc to record all the tracks you have programmed. When you see this message you may either erase tracks from a CD-RW disc to make room, or you must use a fresh CD-R or CD-RW disc. m FA A Г. un ZI PLAYBACK BASICS oP Or Y PAUSE STOP COP OPENS CLOSE DUAL Numeric Keys a о RANDOM e (Me STOP | Us Ш [| (08 E В № 5 9030803) 0 10 CDR OPEW CLOSE Loading Discs Normal Play 1.

When the desired track number appears at the left side of the appropriate Information Display, press the PLAYT pr] button to hear that track. Dual-play Mode Since the unit has more than one CD deck, you may play a disc in either drawer. When only one deck is playing, the unit is in the Single mode. In the Single mode, the audio output will be fed to all digital and analog jacks for both decks. This means you may select the input on your receiver, preamp or processor for either deck. For example, if you have the Play Deck conncted to “CD” and the Record Deck connected to “TAPE,” when only one deck is playing, either input may be selected. It is also possible to play two discs at once, using the Dual mode. To initiate dual-mode playback, press the DUAL button on the front panel or remote. When the DUAL-Play Indicator is lit, you may play a different disc in both decks at the same time. The output of each deck will be sent to the its appropriate output jacks, and you will need to select the deck you wish to listen to using the input selectors on your receiver, preamp or processor. You may also use the output of one deck to feed your main-room system, while the second deck is used to feed a remote room. As long as the DUAL-Play Indicator is lit, each deck functions as a separate CD player, and will respond to its own set of controls on the front panel for either the Play Deck or Record Deck. To control the transports using the remote, remember to first press the Selector button - 17 - for either the Play/CDP Deck or the Record/CDR Deck, and then press the desired command function. NOTE : When in the Dual mode, you may return to Single play mode by pressing the DUAL button on the remote or the DUAL button on the front panel. However, pressing the DUAL button while both decks are playing, will automatically stop playback of the disc in the Record Deck while the disc in the Play Deck continues to play. The output of the play deck will be sent to both sets of output jacks. Dual-Deck Operation Since the unit has two separate CD decks, it may be used to function as two-disc changer, so that you can continually play two discs. When the unit is in the Single-Play mode, as shown by the DUAL-Play Indicator NOT being lit, when the disc in one deck has played through to the end, the disc in the other deck will automatically begin to play. Each disc will play through, and when one deck is finished the other will start. To stop playback, press the STOP[m] button for the deck that is currently playing. To have the unit function as a standard CD player, where the deck in use stops at the end of a disc, press the DUAL button until the DUAL-Play Indicator lights. In the Dual mode, each deck acts independently of the other and when the disc in one deck finishes, it stops unless one of the Repeat functions has been activated. m FA A Г. un ZI PLAYBACK BASICS „о — n DISPLAY ex dm CED CED Ar CE CA сто сво сво DISPLAY DISPLAY = CE e | ща! kel LA ES a | | sep A (=) | | FW. | | nest ë с — 8 © TT Ss 0 J 222 = =) — cs ce, À fom 685 se MEFEÑT GLEAR " ET | | | SEO SS HEADPHONES LEVEL CONTROL numa ¿remo care HEADPHONE JACK e em een [Eo or ОА) em pe Time Display Headphone Listening Once the disc's Table of Contents or TOC data has been read, the Information Display for any deck that has a CD inside will show the number of tracks on the disc in the two left digits of the display, and the total running time of the disc.

Checking, Editing and Clearing Programmed Play Lists The unit's advanced programming system enables you to preset the order in which tracks are played, to repeat one track or all tracks, or to repeat any segment of a disc without regard to track numbers. Programming Play Lists To program the order of playback for the tracks on a disc, 1. Insert the disc, let the unit read the Table of Contents information, and wait until the disc has stopped and the number of tracks and total running time is displayed. 2. Select the deck that will be programmed by pressing the CDP Select button on the remote for the Play Deck or the CDR Select button on the remote for the Record Deck. 3. To begin the programming sequence, press the PROG. button and note that the PROG Indicator will illuminate and the Information Display will show 00 00:00. 4. Enter the track numbers to be played by pressing the Numeric Keys. For two-digit track numbers, be certain to enter the second digit within three seconds after the first number is entered. As each track is entered, the display will blink three times, altemating between two displays. The first display will show the track number just entered on the left side of the Information Display under the Track Indicator, while the right side will flash the number of steps that have been programmed. For example, after programming the first step to be track number 3, the display will flash 03 P-01. Altemating with the track number and program step will be a display of the track and the total running time of all tracks that have been programmed so far. For example, a display of 06 11:25 will indicate that track number six was the last track programmed, and that the total time of all tracks so far is 11 minutes and 25 seconds. The TOTAL TIME Indicator will flash with this display to remind you of the display's contents. These displays will altemate three times, and then show a steady display of the total time and last track programmed. Continue to add tracks in the order you wish to have them played until the programming session is complete. You may add up to 20 tracks, repeating a track if desired, as long as the total number does not exceed 20. If you exceed the 20 track limit, the display will read FULL.

If more than 99 tracks are programmed, a DISC FULL message will appear. ) Note that some CD-R/CD-RW audio recording discs may be used for single- speed recordings only. If you use a disc with such a waming, make certain not to dub at that 2x or 4x speed. However, the unit has been tested for compatibility with a wide range of blank discs for manufacturers throughout the world. In most cases, blank discs will produce high-quality recordings at any dub speed. № In some rare cases, a CD player may not be compatible with CD-R discs. If you find that a CD-R disc plays in some players but not in others, the fault is most likely with the player, not with the recorded disc or the unit. Remember that CD players that are specially designed to accommodate CD-RW discs. p Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy protection data bit that will prevent the disc from being dubbed. In that case, the COPY PROHIBIT indicator will light to remind you that the inability to record is intentional, and not the result of a problem with the unit. » This product is equipped with the Serial Copy Management System(SCMS) to protect the rights of copyright owners.

These copies may be made in real time, at twice normal speed, or at four times normal playback speed. p Recordings may be made from an extemal CD player or other digital source that is synchronized with the dub being made in the unit. ) Recordings may be made from any compatible external digital source. ) Recordings may be made from an external analog source. - 21 - The easiest way to make a copy of an entire disc is to use the unit's intemal dub capability. 1. First, insert a blank or unformatted disc in the Record Drawer. When the disc is inserted, the unit will examine it to determine if it is a CD-R or CD-RW disc, and optimize itself for the best possible recording. This is indicated by OPC message in the Information display. 2. Next, select a dub speed. The default speed is a real-time dub, where the recording takes as long as the actual running time of the disc. However, with the unit you may also select 2x dubbing or 4x dubbing. Press the SPEED button to select a speed as indicated by the 2x/4x Indicators. When no Speed Indicator lights, the unit is set to real-time recording. Note that the slower the record-dub speed, the more tolerant the unit is of errors on the blank disc. However, with most high-quality blank discs, the 2x and 4x speeds should not present a problem. . Place the disc to be dubbed in the Play Drawer and wait until the Table of Contents data is read and the Information Display shows the track and running time data for the disc. 4. When you are ready to start the dub, 5. press the DUBBING Button. The Play Deck will begin to read the track information again to make certain that there is enough space on the blank disc for the recording. If there is NOT sufficient room on the blank disc, a DISC FULL message will remind you to use another disc.

Although the Level Indicator will operate, this is only informative and the level may not be changed or adjusted. However, when you are making a recording from an external analog source such as a cassette recorder or the analog output of a receiver or preamp, you should adjust the input levels using the RECORD-LEVEL Control. Adjust the levels so that the blue segments of the display are almost all lit, and the red segments flash only occasionally.

At the end of a recording, a BUSY message and an UPDATE message will appear briefly, and the unit will return to normal operation. Remember to Finalize the disc after recording so that it may be used in other players. Finalizing CD-R and CD-RW Discs Finalizing is a simple process that completes the recording of a disc so that it may be used in other players. When a recording is finished, a disc must be Finalized. Once that is done, a CD-R disc may not be changed or added to. CD-RW discs are “locked” once they are Finalized, and they must be Unfinalized to permit additional recording or erasure. 1. To Finalize a disc, place it in the Record Drawer. 2. Once the disc's Table of Contents information has been read and the OPC process has been completed, press the FINALIZE button and note that the FINALIZE Indicator will begin to flash. 3. Within three seconds, press the SELECT button and note that the FINALIZE Indicator will stop flashing. 4. The Finalization process will take between 60 and 90 seconds, depending on the length of material recorded on the disc. During the Finalization process the Record Deck will not accept any operating commands. 5. When the Finalization process is complete the FINALIZE Indicator will go out, and the R/RW Indicator will also go out as an indication that the disc is now playable on other players. The CD Indicator will remain lit. Unfinalizing and Erasing CD-RW check to make sure that the ERASE Indicator flashes and the word TOC appears in the Record Deck Information Display. 3. Within three seconds, press the SELECT button to start the process. The ERASE Indicator will remain lit and stop flashing, and the Information Display will switch to OPC and then back to TOC. 4. When the process is finished, the ERASE Indicator will go out, and the display will return to normal. The disc is now ready to have single tracks removed or additional tracks added. Erasing an Entire CD-RW Disc Discs CD-RW discs are unique in that they are both recordable and rewritable. This means that you may use them over again like a cassette tape. However, the process of reusing a CD-RW disc is slightly different from that used with tapes. Unfinalizing a CD-RW Disc Erasing the entire contents of a disc is simple, and it does not matter if the disc has been finalized or not. 1. To erase the disc, press the ERASE button twice if the disc has NOT been finalized and once if it has been finalized, so that the word DISC appears in the Information Display and the ERASE Indicator flashes. 2. To start the erasure, press the SELECT button and note that the ERASE Indicator will stop flashing. 3. The erasure process takes about a minute, and it is complete when the Information Display resets to 00 00:00 and the ERASE Indicator goes out. The disc is now totally erased and may be reused. Erasing a Single Track To keep the material that is already recorded on a CD-RW disc but to add an additional track and erase single tracks, you must first unfinalize the disc. 1. Place the CD-RW disc in the Record Deck and wait until the Table of Contents data has been read. 2. Press the ERASE button twice and - 24 - The individual tracks on a CD-RW disc may be erased one at a time, starting with the last track on the disc, or you may erase more than one track. Note that before individual tracks may be erased the disc must be unfinalized. If the disc is finalized, follow the instructions above for unfinalizing before proceeding with these steps. CD RECORDING 1. To erase only the last track, press the ERASE button. Note that the Information Display will display 01 TRK and the ERASE Indicator will flash. 2. Press the SELECT button within three seconds and note that the ERASE Indicator will stop flashing. 3. When the ERASE Indicator goes out the Information Display will show the total number of tracks that now remain on the disc. You may erase more than one track, counting backwards from the last track. 1. Press the ERASE button. Note that the Information Display will display 01 TRK and the ERASE Indicator will flash. 2. Press the NEXT] pp ] button or PREV. [K<] button until the number of tracks to be erased appears in the Information Display. For example, when 06 TRK appears in the display a total of six tracks will be erased, counting back from the last track on the disc. 3. Press the SELECT button within three seconds of making the track selection and note that the ERASE Indicator will stop flashing. When the ERASE Indicator goes out the Information Display will show the total number of tracks that now remain on the disc. Important Note: Tracks at the beginning or in the middle of the disc may not be erased until all of the discs after them have been erased. Important Note on Erasure and Finalization Times: Regardless of the speed at which a disc was recorded, the unit will erase and finalize discs at the 4x speed to minimize the length of the process. However, in some cases it may be necessary for the unit to repeat the erasure or finalization due to the nature of an individual disc. For that reason, it is normal for the time required to complete these steps to vary from one disc to another. - 25 - m FA A Г. un ZI TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE AND ERROR MESSAGES | TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Unit does not operate when Power switch * No AC power * Make certain AC power cord is plugged into a live outlet. is pressed = Check to see if AC outlet is switch controlled.
