Congratulations on your purchase of the CDR500 CD recorder.
This unit enables you to record, play, and erase (using CD-RW
discs) your own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder
can also be used to play all pre-recorded CDs.
CD-R and CD-RW Discs
With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying,
you can create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD.
The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below.
There are two types of recordable discs:
1
CD-R (record once):
CD-R discs are only able to be recorded onto a single time but
will playback in most CD players.
CD-R discs can be recognized by the following logos:
2 CD-RW (multiple recording):
CD-RW discs are able to be recorded onto many times but
will only playback in CD players offering CD-RW compatibil-
ity. Products that offer CD-RW playback compatibility are
available from Marantz, Marantz Professional, and
Superscope. Please contact your dealer for more informa-
tion on these products.
CD-RW discs can be recognized by the following logos:
Note:
- Most DVD players cannot playback CD-R discs and some
cannot playback CD-RW discs because of laser power differ-
ences.
- Some CD players may be able to playback finalized CD-RW
discs.
- Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R discs be-
cause of the low reflectivity of such discs.
The CDR500 is able to record onto any 1X or 2X compatable
CD-R and CD-RW disc, including discs for Consumer use and
Professional (computer) discs. For a list of recommended
discs, please see the Marantz Professional website at
