CD Recording

To make Auto or Manual recordings, next press

the Record Button

. The Record Indicator

will flash, and the word BUSY and OPC

will appear in the Time/Message Display

When the Display returns to the track and run-

ning-time information, the unit is ready to record.

Now, particulary when you record from an ana-

log source, play any high level part of the source

repeatedly and adjust the CDR30´s input level

using the Analog Record-Level Control

for analog recordings and, if desired, the Dig.

Rec. Level Controls



for digital recordings.

With analog recordings adjust the levels so that

the blue segments of the display are almost lit,

and the red segments flash only occasionally. See

the chapter Record Levels below for more

information on adjusting the record levels.

After you´ve adjusted the record level, start the

actual recording by pressing the Play/Select

Button

(

and immediately also start the

source to be recorded. Note that the Record

Indicator

will stop flashing and the Time/

Message Display

will begin to show the

running time of the recording and the track data.

Depending on which mode of track increment

has been selected as described above, track num-

bers must be increased manually or they will be

added automatically. Regardless of which mode

has been selected, a track number may be added

at any time by pressing the Track Increment

Button

Note: During recording from an external source

in the Auto mode, the unit will automatically go

into “Record/Pause“ when it senses 10 seconds

of silence. In both modes, Auto and Manual,

when the Pause button

is pressed dur-

ing a recording, the track number will increase by

one number and the recording will stop and

must be restarted by pressing the Play/Select

Button

(

To stop the recording, press the Stop Button

,a BUSYmessage and an UPDATE

message will appear and the unit will return to

normal operation. Remember to finalize the disc

(see on page 24) after recording so that it may

be used in other players.

The recording will automatically stop if it takes

more space than is available on the CD-R/RW disc.,

and a DISC FULL message will appear to

remind you that a new disc is needed.

Sync Recording

Sync recording allows you to make an automatic

digital recording from an external CD or MD

player or any digital source, providing CD stan-

dard track information (see page 22 for more

information on how you can find out if or not

you can record from a source with the Sync

mode). During Sync Recording, the record unit

starts in sync with the source, and tracks are

added automatically.

To make a Sync recording: First, make certain

your playback source is prepared and tracks you

want to record from that source (if so) are pro-

grammed or selected. Next, select the appropri-

ate digital input by pressing the Input Button

until the desired input indication appears in

the Time/Message Display

and Input

Indicator

. Sync recordings may not be

made from an analog input.

Next, make certain that there is a fresh disc in

the Record Drawer for the recording. Press the

Sync Record Button

as instructed below

and note that the Sync Indicator

will light

and the Record Indicator

will flash. Select

the type of recording to be made:

• To record only one track from the source play-

er, press the Sync Record Button

ONCE

so that 1 TRKappears in the Time/

Message Display

• To record the entire disc or tape, press the

Sync Record Button

TWICE so that ALL

appears in the Time/Message Display

When the desired mode has been selected, start

the playback from the source machine.The CDR

30 will automatically recognize the incoming dig-

ital data and begin recording and the track num-

bering from the original disc will be carried over

to the dub.

The recording will continue until the CDR 30

senses that the playback is finished when there is

no incoming signal for more than three seconds.

At that point the recording will stop.You may

also stop the recording at any time by pressing

the Record Deck Stop Button

. When

there is no more time remaining on a blank disc,

the unit automatically will stop the recording

process and a BUSY and UPDATE and then

a DISC FULL message will appear in the

Time/Message Display

. When a CD-R is

being recorded, insert a new blank disc or, when

a CD-RW is in use, either use a new disc or erase

the latest existing tracks following the instruc-

tions on page 24.

After the recording is stopped, first a BUSY and

then an UPDATE message will appear, and the

unit will then return to normal operation.

Remember to finalize the recorded disc so that it

may be used in other machines.

Important Note: With a few CD and DVD play-

ers the CDR30´s Sync mode recording will start

as the as the source player is set from Stop to

Pause. With those sources tracks to be recorded

should be started only from the Stop mode rather

than from Pause.

Note: With CD Sync track numbers cannot be

increased manually by pressing the Track

Increment button

, this is possible with

the Auto and Manual mode only.

Record Levels

Particulary with analog recording, the setting of

record levels is important to the creation of a

copy disc that is correctly recorded so that it is

both free from noise (caused by too low a record

level) or distortion (caused by too high a record

level). Since the CDR 30 accepts both digital and

analog sources, a different procedure is required,

depending on the type of input used.

In general practice, and particularly for analog

recordings, a proper recording is made when the

individual left and right Level Indicators

run in the left two-thirds of the display scale, and

the red OVER

indicators flash only briefly.

If the level is too high or too low during an ana-

log recording, simply adjust the Analog Record

Level Control

until the level is set properly.

(more information on adjusting the analog record

level see left on this page).

It is important to note that for digital recordings

the level indications will always run lower than

what you would expect for an analog recording.

This is due to the fact that, within limits, low level

for digital recordings is not a severe problem.

However, too high digital levels will cause audible

distortion as with analog recordings.

The default setting for level control is Manual

with the adjustment set at a 0 dB level, then the

Digital Record Level Status Indicator

will not be lit. This setting is appropriate for most

recordings, and under normal circumstances you

will not need to make any changes. Increase digi-

tal levels may be needed only when the disc or

track to be recorded will deliver too low a signal

level to the CDR30. Decrease level only when

you wish to record the disc on the CDR30 with a

lower level than on the original.

To manually adjust the digital level, press the

appropriate

⁄

or ¤ Digital Level Control

Button



and note that the Digital Record

Level Status Indicator

lights as DRLC, but

make certain that the level shown in the Level

Indicators

does not exceed the red levels.

Digital levels may only be adjusted from –3dB

to +3dB, as shown in the Time/Message

Display
