CD Recording
Making recordings on the CDR 30 is simple and
easy once you become accustomed to the
basics of CD Recording. Before making your
first recording, please take a moment to review
the CDR Basics on page 14. In particular, you
will need to become familiar with the types of
discs that may or may not be used in the
CDR 30. In addition, some terms used in the
following pages may be new to you.The follow-
ing definitions and information will help you to
make CD recordings using the CDR 30’s many
features:
• The CDR 30 accepts analog inputs and digital
coax or optical inputs. Before making a
recording, be certain that you have selected
the correct input, using the Input Select
Button ı.
• After a disc is recorded, it must be finalized.
This process adds a table of contents data to
the disc and makes it playable on other
machines. Until a disc is properly finalized, it
may not be played on standard CD players.
• The CDR 30 may record on either CD-R or
CD-RW discs, but they must be of the type
specifically designed for use in consumer-
audio CD recorders.These discs may be rec-
ognized by looking for the words “Digital
Audio” in the compact disc logo on the blank
disc or its packaging. Discs with the logo
reading only “Compact Disc/Recordable” are
designed for computer data recording, and
they may not be recorded using the CDR 30.
• CD-R discs may not be erased or have
material added to them once they have been
finalized.
• At least four (4) seconds of blank recording
time must remain on an unfinalized disc for
recording to take place.
• The maximum number of tracks that may be
recorded on a disc is 99.
• 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 warning,
make certain not to make a dub at x2 or x4
speed. However, the CDR 30 has been tested
for compatibility with a wide range of blank
discs from 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 CDR 30.
Remember that CD-RW discs made in the
CDR 30 will play only in CD players that are
specially designed to accommodate CD-RW
discs. Note that most DVD players are com-
patible with finalized CD-RW discs.
• Some commercial CD discs may contain a
copy protection data bit that will prevent a
digital copy of the disc to be dubbed. In that
case, the Copy Prohibit Indicator I will
light to remind you that the inability to record
is intentional, and not the result of a problem
with the CDR 30.
• This product is equipped with the Serial Copy
Management System (SCMS) to protect the
rights of copyright owners.Although it is
possible to make a copy of most CDs for
your own personal use, it is not possible to
make a digital copy from another digital copy,
including CDP, although it is possible to make
an analog copy of a digital copy.
RECORDINGS MAY BE MADE FOR
PERSONAL USE ONLY, AND ANY
UNAUTHORIZED COPYING IS SUBJECT
TO THE APPLICABLE LAW.
•
The
CDR 30 will not copy DVD discs, computer
-
data discs, CD-based computer or video-game
discs, or digital audio discs with a sample rate
that is not compatible with the range of the
CDR 30’s sample-rate converter.
• Discs containing MP3 data may only be
copied to the standard CD Audio format.
Recordings on the CDR 30 may be made in a
number of ways:
• Discs may be dubbed using the playback
deck on the CDR 30 as a source.These copies
may be made in real time, at twice normal
speed, or at four times normal playback
speed.
• Recordings may be made from an external
CD player or other digital source that is
synchronized with the dub being made in the
CDR 30.
• Recordings may be made from a compatible
external digital source.
• Recordings may be made from an external
analog source.
Disc Dubbing
The easiest way to make a copy of an entire
disc is to use the CDR 30’s internal dub
capability.
First, insert a blank or unformatted disc in the
Record Drawer %. When the disc is inserted,
the CDR 30 will examine it to determine whether
it is a CD-R or CD-RW disc, and optimize itself
for the best possible recording.This is indicated
by the OPC message in the Time/Message
Display F.
Place the disc to be dubbed in the Play Drawer
3 and wait until the Table of Contents data is
read and the Time/Message Display F shows
the track and running time data for the disc.
If you wish to copy the entire disc, proceed to
the next step. However, if you wish to copy only
one track from a disc, first select that track by
pressing the Next Button ˝w until the
track number appears in the Time/Message
Display F and then immediately press the
1 Track Dub Button 9.
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 CDR 30 you may also select
x2 dubbing or x4 dubbing. Press the Speed
Button ! to select a speed as indicated by
the x2/x4 Indicators H.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.
Before beginning a dub, make certain that there
is sufficient blank space on the record disc.To
do this, first determine the time available on
the blank disc by subtracting the time of previ-
ously recorded material, if any, that is shown in
the record side Time/Message Display F,
from the total time available on the disc.That
number should be greater than the total time
of the disc to be dubbed, which is shown in the
play side Time/Message Display F.
When you are ready to start the dub, press the
Dubbing Button ). During this process the
appropriate Dubbing Indicator J will light,
the Record Indicator O will flash and a
BUSY message will flash in the Record Deck’s
Time/Message Display F.When both
Information Display Indicators return to normal,
