3 Dub a compilation or mix of one or more CDs using the two decks
of the CDR 20
Step 1: Insert a blank CD-R/RW into the Record deck (right drawer).
Step 2: Insert a source CD into the Play deck (left drawer).
Step 3: Use the remote control to program a playlist of the tracks you want to record, in the order you
choose to record them:
Step 3a: Press the CDP button on the remote to select the Play deck.
Step 3b: Press the Prog button on the remote.
Step 3c: Using the numeric keys on the remote, enter the first track number. The display will blink,
alternating between a display of the track number and program step, and a display of the total time
programmed. Wait until it stops blinking before proceeding. You may also program tracks by using
the Next and Prev buttons to select the track, and then pressing the Prog button to enter that track.
Step 3d: Repeat Step 3c until you have finished programming all tracks from that disc. You may pro-
gram up to 20 tracks into one playlist.
Step 3e: If you need to delete a track from the playlist, press the Prog Check button on the remote to
step through the list until you reach the track you want to delete, then press the Clear button.
Step 4: The Prog indicator must be lit in the display in order for your playlist to be recorded (rather than the
entire disc). If it is not lit, simply press the Prog button on the remote to light it.
Step 5: To make a dub at twice normal speed, press the SPEED button on the front panel or remote once so
that the "x2" indicator lights. Compilation dubs may be made at either standard or twice normal
speed, but they may NOT be made at the "x4" speed, even though the "x4" indicator may light.
Step 6: Press the Dubbing button and wait for the track and time displays for both discs to appear after the
CDR 20 has finished calculating whether there is enough room on the blank disc to record your playlist.
Step 7: Press the Play button on the Play deck side, or the Play/Select button on the Record deck side, or on
the remote, to start the playlist. The CDR 20 will automatically dub only the selected tracks onto the
blank disc.
Step 8: When the recording has ended, wait until the track and time information for the Record deck
reappears on the right-hand side of the display.
Step 9: To add tracks from another disc, remove the first source disc from the Play deck and insert the new
source disc. Follow the instructions in Section 1 to dub the entire new disc, or go back to Step 3 in
this section to program and record a compilation from the new disc.
Step 10: Before you can play your newly recorded disc in another CD player, you MUST finalize it to complete
the recording process. First, press the Finalize button, which will cause the Finalize indicator to flash.
Next, press the Play/Select button on the Record deck side. The finalization process may take up to
two minutes. You will know it is complete when the red Finalize indicator turns off and the CD-R or
CD-RW indicator changes to just "CD" .
