CDR2
analog mode to dub that particular disc. When recording in analog mode,
make sure to use the level control to properly adjust the recording level.
14. In digital mode, if the CDR 2 senses a pause in the signal of more than 3
seconds, it will assume the recording session has ended and stop
recording. This means that if, for example, you program a set of tracks
from different discs on an external CD changer for recording, you may find
that the CDR 2 stops recording after each disc. The CDR 2 is sensing a
delay of more than three seconds while the CD changer switches to a
different disc, and this causes the CDR 2 to end the recording session.
Simply record tracks from one disc at a time on the external changer.
15. In analog mode, the CDR 2 will stop recording after a pause lasting for 10
seconds. If you have pressed the Auto/Manual button to place the unit in
Auto mode, it will increment the track number when it senses a 3 second
pause. In Manual mode, you must increment the track number manually
by pressing either the Track Increment or Next button.
16. The CDR 2 has a convenient front panel digital input for use in recording
from external sources, such as a portable CD player. Since it can only
record from one input at a time, if the CDR 2 senses a signal at both the
front and rear panel inputs, it will automatically record only from the front
panel input.
17. Tracks on a CD-RW disc that has been unfinalized may only be erased in
reverse sequential order. This means that you cannot erase a track in the
beginning or middle of the disc until all of the tracks after it have also been
erased.
18. Unfinalized discs will only play in the record deck, not the play deck.
19. In dual mode, only the output of the play deck will go to headphones.
20. Except when dubbing, make sure to press the Input button to select the
correct source. This is necessary whenever you are recording or using
the CD Sync function with an external source.
21. The pause button will not work while dubbing.
22. The CD Sync feature requires a digital input. Sync recordings may not be
made from an analog source.
For complaint: "CR2 defaults back to X1 speed when attempting a
recording at X4 speed" :
Normal conditions -
1) Will occur when an external input is selected.
2) Will occur when dubbing from a copied CD. (automatically goes into
analog recording)
3) Will occur when dubbing from a copy protected CD. (automatically goes
into analog recording)
4) Will occur when dubbing a programmed play list.
5) Certain CDR disc brands may only copy at X1 speed. Try another brand.
