Introduction

Main Features

Easily create an original music CD using only the CD-2
You can record on three types of media.
CompactFlash
(CF cards)
● You can create a music CD from selected songs recorded on a CompactFlash card.
● You can create a music CD by directly recording onto a CD-R/RW disc.
Easily record using the internal mics, and listen back using the
built-in speakers
● Since stereo mics are built in, you can start recording immediately.
For hands-free operation, there's an "Auto Level Control" function which automatically adjusts the input
levels of the internal mics (Page 76).
● Since stereo speakers are built in, you can listen to your recordings right away.
Connect mics or instruments to directly record a vocal or
instrumental performance
● You can directly record a performance from mics or instruments (e.g., guitar or digital piano) connected
to the input jacks.
The CD-2 provides external mic jacks, a guitar input jack to which a guitar or bass can be connected directly, and line
input jacks.
Use mix-recording for even greater possibilities
● You can layer your own vocal or instrumental performance with a song from a music CD.
While listening to the accompaniment provided by a karaoke CD, you can add your own vocal or instrumental
performance and record the result to a CompactFlash card.
● Songs you've recorded on a CompactFlash card can be layered with additional performances.
You can build up multi-part instrumental or vocal performances by yourself. For example, while listening to a piano
accompaniment you've previously recorded, you could mix in an additional vocal performance.
