Playback Basics
Dual-Play Mode
Since the CDR 30 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
connected to “CD” and the Record Deck con-
nected to “Tape,” when only one deck is play-
ing, 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 Play Select x button on
the remote or the Dual/Single Play Select ¸
button on the front panel.When the Dual-Play
Indicator D 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 appropriate
output jacks, and you will need to select the
deck you wish to listen to using the input selec-
tors 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 D 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 Record Deck
(ÓÔÚÛÙˆ or Play Deck
˘˝ .To control the trans-
ports using the remote, remember to first press
the Selector button for either the Play/CDP
Deck d or the Record/CDR Deck z, and
then press the desired command function.
NOTE: When in the Dual mode, you may return
to Single play mode by pressing the Single
Play Select Button g on the remote or the
Dual/Single Play Select Button ¸ on the
front panel. However, pressing the Single
Button g¸ while both decks are playing
will automatically stop playback of the disc in
the Record Deck % while the disc in the
Play Deck 3 continues to play.The output
of the play deck will be sent to both sets of
output jacks.
NOTE: When using the dual-play function with
MP3 or HDCD-encoded discs, start the play for
either of those discs first before playing a con-
ventional CD Audio disc.
Dual-Deck Operation
Since the CDR 30 has two separate CD decks, it
may be used as a two-disc changer, so that you
can continually play two discs.
When the CDR 30 is in the Single-Play mode,
as shown by the Single Play Indicator D
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 Button uÓ for the deck that is
currently playing.
To have the CDR 30 function as two separate
CD players, where the deck in use stops at the
end of a disc, press the Dual Button ¸x
until the Dual-Play Indicator D 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.
NOTE: Remember that only one MP3 disc may
play at a time, even when the Dual Play mode
is in use. If two discs containing MP3 selections
are loaded in the CDR 30, one must be removed
and replaced with a standard CD Audio disc for
the dual play mode to operate.
Time Display
The CDR 30’s time display is capable of show-
ing a wide range of information about the con-
tents of a CD.
For Standard CD Audio discs, once the disc’s
Table of Contents or TOC data has been read,
the Time/Message Display F 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 in the remainder of the display.
When the disc is playing, the tracks will count
up as each new track is reached, and time dis-
play will show the elapsed time for the track
being played.
To view the time remaining in the track being
played, press the Display Button b
ˆ˘ for the deck in use so that the
REMAINING TIME Indicators ST
illuminate.The Time/Message Display F
will count down the time remaining in the
track, and at the start of the next track the
counter will start to count down the running
time of that track.
To view the total time remaining on the disc,
press the Display Button bˆ˘for
the deck in use so that the Total Time
Indicators TV light.The Time/Message
Display F will show the total time remaining
for all tracks on the disc and count down until
the disc has finished playing.When the disc has
played all the way through, the total number of
tracks and the total running time of the disc
will be displayed.
For MP3 discs, once the disc’s Table of Contents
data has been read, the Time/Message Display
F will show the total number of tracks on the
disc. During disc playback, press the appropriate
Display Button bˆ˘for the deck
in use once, and the display will cycle through
the following available information:
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 and hold the CDP or CDR Display
Button bˆ˘(as appropriate) for
three seconds, until a TTL TIME ON mes-
sage 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 bˆ˘again
for three seconds until a TTL TIME OFF
message appears in the Time/Message
Display F to return to standard display.
Headphone Listening
You may listen to the output of the CDR 30
through headphones at any time by simply
plugging the headphones into the Front Panel
Jack 4. The volume of the headphone output
may be adjusted with the Headphones Level
Control 5. Note that changes to the head-
phone level will not alter the output settings to
the analog outputs.Those levels are fixed, and
the volume should be adjusted using your
receiver, preamp or processor.
Note that when only one deck is playing back a
disc in the Single-Play mode, the output of that
deck will be fed to the headphone jack.When
the unit is in the Dual-Playback mode, only the
output of the Play Deck 3 will be fed to the
headphone jack.
