Playback Basics
During normal playback of MP3 discs,
pressing the CDP or CDR Display Button
b will show the following informa-
tion, in order:
Elapsed time of current track ➜ Remaining Time
of current track ➜ Current Track Number ➜ File
name of Current Track (Up to the first six digits)
To read the total time of all tracks recorded
on an MP3 disc, the disc must be stopped.
Then, press the CDP or CDR Display Button
b (as appropriate) for three seconds, until
a TTL TIME ON message appears in the
Time/Message Display F. Then press the
CDP or CDR Display Button b again to
alternate between a display of the total number
of tracks and the total time of the disc. Press
and hold the CDP or CDR Display Button b
again for three seconds until a TTL TIME OFF
message appears in the Time/ Message Display F
to return to standard display.
While MP3 playback is possible from both the
CDP and CDR decks, only one MP3 disc may be
played at a time. If you load two MP3 discs at
the same time, both MP3 Indicators P will
flash. Press the Play Button j( for
the deck you wish to play first, and the MP3
Indicator P above that deck will continue to
flash to indicate active MP3 playback.
If a disc with MP3 data is in both decks, either in
the form of an MP3-only disc, Multisession discs,
or one of each, an MP3ONmessage will flash
three times in the center of the Message
Display F. Press the MP3 Button rÒ to
select MP3 ON or MP3 OFF as desired for the
deck with the Multisession disc, and then press
the Play Button j( to proceed.
Notes About MP3 Playback:
• When an MP3 disc is played, only the Analog
Audio Outputs ¡™ are available.There is
no signal at the Digital Audio Outputs
¢∞•ª during MP3 playback.To ensure
that the MP3 output is heard, make certain
that the correct analog input is selected on
your receiver, processor or preamp.
• The forward and reverse “fast play” or Search
Controls fy do not operate during
MP3 playback. However, the standard Play
j( , Pause Ôvand Stop
ÓuControls operate as they do for
normal play. The Next Track wÛ˝
and Previous Track iÙ Controls
also work normally during MP3 playback.
• The CDR 30 will play only standard MP3 discs
recorded in the MPEG 1/Layer 3 format. Other
compressed digital audio formats will not be
played back, and any non-MP3 tracks will be
skipped.
• When an MP3 disc is dubbed in the CDR 30,
the copy disc will be recorded in the standard
“Red Book” CD Audio format. It is not possible
to make an MP3 copy of an MP3 disc.
HDCD Playback
HDCD, which stands for High Definition
Compatible Digital, is a special recording process
that enables the CDR 30 to deliver the ultimate
in CD audio playback.The CDR 30’s circuitry
takes advantage of the special HDCD recording
process when HDCD-encoded discs are used, and
it is also completely compatible with non-HDCD
discs, which benefit from the unit’s advanced
digital-to-analog converters.
No special adjustment is needed to play HDCD
encoded discs. Simply use the disc as you would
any other CD.Although these discs also play on
conventional CD players, when played on the
CDR 30 the special HDCD decoding circuitry is
automatically activated, delivering extraordinary
fidelity and the highest possible overall quality.
The CDR 30 will play back and internally decode
HDCD discs from either the CDP or CDR decks.
However, when the HDCD decoding is done in
an external receiver or processor using a digital
output connection from the CDR 30, playback of
HDCD or DTS
®
-encoded discs must be made from
the Play/CDP Deck 3 only.
When an HDCD disc is playing, the appropriate
HDCD Indicator N will light above the deck
in use.
CD Text Playback
An increasing number of CD discs are recorded
with CD Text information that may display the
disc’s title, the name of the artists, the title of
specific individual tracks, and the artist for specific
individual tracks, depending on how the disc’s
producers program the information.
When a disc’s Table of Contents (TOC) has been
read, but the disc is stopped, press the CD Text
Button l for the deck in use (either the left
side, Play/CDP deck or the right side, Record/CDR
deck) to view the title of the disc followed by the
disc’s artist.
When a disc with CD Text information is playing,
press the CD Text Button l for the deck in
use (either the left side, Play/CDP deck or the right
side, Record/CDR deck) to view the name of the
track that is playing and the artist for that track.
Notes on CD Text Display:
• If the CD Text buttons are pressed when the
disc playing does not contain CD Text informa-
tion, a NO TEXT message will flash three
times in the Time/Message Display F.
• CD Text displays will appear only in English.
• Only capital letters will be displayed, and lower
case letters will be capitalized.
• Blank spaces may occasionally appear in place
of invalid text characters.
