FEATURES

  1. Various Recording Modes
    • This unit is equipped with three convenient synchro-recording functions: Disc Synchro-recording records one album from the source side, Track Synchro-recording records your desired tracks one at a time, and Auto Finalize Synchro-recording automatically performs finalization upon completion of Disc Synchro-recording. Manual recording is also permitted with manual operation. Fade-in and fade-out recording is also supported, enabling you to create your own original discs.
  2. Wide Variety of Playback Functions
    • Various playback modes are provided for your enjoyment including programmed play, shuffle (random) play, single track or all track repeat play, as well as intro scan play which allows you to listen to the initial portion of successive tracks.
  3. Rich Variety of Digital Input Jacks
    • In addition to the analog input jacks, this unit is equipped with a total of three digital input jacks. There is one optical digital input jack for use with digital sources such as CD, MD and satellite broadcasts, and there are two digital coaxial input jacks.
  4. Equipped with Sampling Rate Converter
    • This converter permits direct digital input recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts (32 kHz, 48 kHz) which have sampling frequencies that differ from that of the 44.1 kHz used with CD and MD.
  5. Text Entry and Display Function
    • The album title, artist name, and the track title and artist names for individual tracks can be entered and displayed for recorded CD-R/RW discs.

CAUTIONS DURING USE

  • During track selection, during search and when the recorder sustains a strong impact, the disc's rotational speed changes greatly, causing a small noise to be emitted. This is not a malfunction of the recorder.
  • If the CD recorder is operated while an FM or AM broadcast is being received, there may be noise in the FM or AM reception. Please switch the power to the CD recorder off at such times.
  • The CDR-1000 has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise caution when turning up the volume on the amplifier in cases when the playback volume is low. If the volume is turned up too high, it could damage the speakers.
  • Placing this recorder or its connection cords near a TV or other audio device could cause a humming sound to be emitted. If this occurs, relocate the recorder or reroute the connection cords.
  • Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before moving it. The disc could be damaged if left in the recorder while it is being moved.
  • Do not place any object in the tray in the position where the disc is loaded, or open and close the tray with anything inside. Foreign objects in the tray could damage the play mechanism.
  • Do not move the recorder from a cold place to a warm place suddenly. If the recorder is cold when brought into a warm room, condensation could form, preventing proper operation of the recorder. If condensation does form on the recorder when it is brought into a warm room, wait at least 30 minutes before use.

ABOUT CD-R/RW DISCS

Discs that Can Be Used with this Unit

CD-R Discs and CD-RW Discs

Be sure to use discs that bear either of the following marks when recording with this unit.

* Recording will not be possible with discs that do not bear the aforementioned marks.

CD Discs


This unit uses CDs (optical digital audio discs) which bear the mark located at the right. Note that specially shaped CDs, for example, heart shaped or hexagonal cannot be played. Do not attempt to use such CDs since doing so may cause breakdown of this unit.

CD Text Discs


This unit can display text information on the display when playing CD text discs which contain text information in English category. The CD text disc includes the mark shown at the right.

warning NOTE:

  • This unit can provide a text display of the following types of characters. Other types of characters will result in "_" being displayed.
    • Alphabet
    • Numbers
  • Symbols ( _is a blank.)

Methods of Recording to Disc

CD-R Discs

  • CD-R discs incorporate a pigment layer for recording. When exposed to the recording laser, a change in form occurs at the boundary of this layer and the plastic layer resulting in the recording of the signal. The recorded information is maintained until the end of the life of the disc.
  • After recording, finalized discs can be played on ordinary CD players.

CD-RW Discs

  • CD-RW discs incorporate a phase change layer. The recording process causes this layer to change from a crystal (reflective) condition to an amorphous (noncrystal) condition.
  • Recorded information can be erased from CD-RW discs. Deletion can take the form of deleting all of the disc tracks or only the specified tracks working back from the last track of the disc.
  • Finalized CD-RW discs can be played on CD players designed for use with CD-RW discs as well as on CD recorders.

Digital Copies

A CD-R/RW disc onto which has been recorded using the digital input cannot be further digitally recorded (i.e., copied) onto a separate CD-R/RW disc or MD, etc.. This is a standard established by the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).
Digital Copies

Track Numbers: Auto Track Function

* Recording in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g., disc Synchro-recording, track Synchro-recording, and auto finalization recording) results in the track numbers being automatically associated. The manner in which the track numbers are associated will differ as follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the conditions.

Recording from a digital input

When making a digital recording from a CD, MD or DAT, a track number that is the same as the original track number will automatically be associated. (This system automatically detects the track switching number that has been recorded to the CD, MD or DAT and switches the track number.)

  • When recording from a satellite broadcasts or other digital equipment, the detection of a blank portion of about 2.7 seconds or longer, the same as when making recordings with an analog input, will result in the operation of the auto track function and the automatic association of the track number.
    • A blank portion is regarded as having a recording level of –55 dB or less.
    • The track number might not switch correctly when there is a lot of noise in the blank portion between tracks.
    • The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track.

Recording from an analog input

Track numbers will automatically be associated when a blank portion of about 2.7 seconds or longer is detected.

  • When the input signal is affected by noise or there is some other interference, the track number might not change at the correct position.
  • The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track.

* The on/off setting of the auto track function is possible in manual recording. (See "Auto track increment".)

warning NOTES:

  • DAT track selection signals (Start ID) are recorded slightly after the beginning of tracks, so when DATs are recorded as such, the beginning of the first track may be missing and the track numbers may only change after the tracks begin. In such cases, move the DAT Start ID to the proper positions before recording the DAT.
  • When recording an analog source that contains a very low level signal within the track, or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, switch off the auto track function then make a manual recording and associate the track numbers manually.
  • When the recording level is set too low while recording an analog source or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, the track numbers might not be associated at the correct position. Please set a suitable recording level. (See "Setting of the Recording Level".)

Finalization Processing of CD-R Discs

Finalization Processing of CD-R Discs
After the recording of a CD-R disc is completed, finalization processing is required to enable it to be played on an ordinary CD player.

warning NOTES:

  • Once a CD-R disc has been finalized, additional recording will no longer be possible.
  • The information that has been recorded to a CD-R disc cannot be erased.

Finalization Processing of CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played on an ordinary CD player, even with finalization processing. Playback is possible only on CD recorders or players suited for use with CD- RW discs. They can only be played on a player that is suited for use with CD-RW discs. Also note that CD-RW discs can be erased after being finalized.

DISC HANDLING AND PRECAUTIONS

Disc Handling

Avoid touching the surface of the disc when inserting or removing it.


Be careful not to get fingerprints on the signal recording surface.

Disc Cleaning

  • When the disc has become marked with fingerprints or dirt, wipe it clean before use. The dirt will not affect the signal of the disc, but the sound quality may drop and there may be breaks in the sound. Note that when the surface of a CDR/RW disc is dirty, it may not record properly.
  • To wipe the disc clean, use one of the disc cleaning sets available on the market or a soft cloth.

    Lightly wipe in the direction from centre to outside.

    Do not wipe in a circular manner.

Storage Precautions

  • Be sure to eject the disc after playing.
  • Always return the disc to its case to avoid dust, scratches, and misshaping.
  • Do not leave the disc in the following places:
    1. Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
    2. Where there is a lot of dampness and dust.
    3. Where it will be exposed to heat such as from a heater.

warning NOTES:

  • Do not attach commercially available disc labels or other seals on the disc. Doing so may make it impossible to record or play the disc properly.
  • Do not use record spray or static electricity prevention products. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Handling Precautions

  • Do not allow fingerprints, oil, or dirt to adhere.
  • Be careful not to scratch the surface, especially when removing or returning the disc to the case.
  • Do not bend the disc.
  • Do not heat the disc.
  • Do not enlarge the center hole.
  • Do not write on the label surface (i.e., printed side) with a ballpoint pen or pencil.
  • Water droplets may form on the surface of the disc when it is suddenly brought from a cold place such as outdoors to a warm place. If this happens, do not dry the disc with a hair dryer.

Precautions When Loading Discs

  • Only load one disc. Loading two or more discs in a layer will cause breakdown and may also scratch the discs.
  • Discs of the 8 cm size should be carefully aligned with the recessed disc guide area and loaded without the use of an adapter. If not properly loaded, the disc may fall out or the disc holder may cease to open.
  • Be careful not to get your finger caught when the disc holder is closing.
  • Do not place anything other than a disc on the disc tray.
  • Do not use discs that are cracked, misshapen, or have been repaired with an adhesive, etc.
  • Do not use discs that have adhesive coming out from cellophane tape or the label of a rental disc, or adhesive remaining after removal of the label. Use of a disc in this condition may result in the disc not being ejected or in breakdown.

* Standards concerned with CD recorder playback have been established based on the existing standards of CD players; however, for recording, the method differs from that used with existing cassette decks and MD recorders, etc. In view of this, please gain a good understanding of the following restrictions associated with CD-R/RW discs and enjoy the medium.

Restrictions of Audio CD-R/RW Discs

  • Only audio CD-R/RW discs can be recorded with this unit. "WRONG DISC" will be displayed when a disc other than one for use with audio such as a CD-R/RW disc for use with a personal computer or another type of disc is loaded. (See "Discs that Can Be Used with this unit".)
  • CD-R discs can be recorded to only once. The recorded information cannot be erased.
  • The recorded information of CD-RW discs can be erased. When this disc has been finalized, erase after the finalization removal operation has been performed. (See "Unfinalizing CD-RW Discs")
  • Recording mistakes made with CD-R discs cannot be erased; therefore, it is recommended that a CD-RW disc be used until you are accustomed to the recording operation.

Restrictions in Recording with this Unit

  • The recording operation procedure is the same for CD-R discs and CD-RW discs.
  • When making additional recording to a previously recorded disc, the end of the last track is detected and recording is started from there.
  • The record standby mode cannot be set for CD-R/RW discs with a recordable time of about 7 seconds or less remaining. "DISC FULL" will be displayed at this time.
  • Songs with a recording time of less than 4 seconds cannot be recorded. Stopping the recording within 3 seconds of starting will result in no recording.
  • A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded to one CD-R/RW disc. When the recording reaches the 99th track, "DISC FULL" is displayed and recordings beyond this track will not be possible.
  • Digital recording is not possible from CD-R/RW discs onto which have been digitally recorded, normal is it possible from MD or DAT, etc. When a digital recording is attempted from such sources, "COPY PROTECT" is displayed. To record from these digital sources, make the recording from the analog input. (See "Digital Copies")
  • This unit cannot record CD-ROM and other non-audio signal sources. When an attempt is made to record from such sources,"NO AUDIO TR" is displayed.
  • When a recording is made from a disc that includes data other than audio signals such as CD graphics or CD-TEXT, only the audio signal is recorded; other data is not recorded.
  • DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, and other compressed audio signals) cannot be recorded.

Compatibility with Other CD Players and Discs

  • Finalization processing on a CD-R disc that has been recorded with this unit will permit that disc to be played on ordinary CD player. (See "Finalization Processing of CD-R Discs".)
  • Finalization processing on a CD-RW disc that has been recorded with this unit will permit that disc to be played only on a CD player designed to be used with CD-RW discs or on another CD recorder. (See "Finalization Processing of CD-RW Discs".)

warning NOTES:

  • To assure accurate recording, record with an ambient temperature of 30°C or less.
  • Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the top and side.
