1 – Introduction The CD-RW2000 CD rewritable recorder allows you to make your own CDs from a variety of sources— other CDs, MD recordings, analog cassette tapes, and records. Tracks can be recorded all at one time, or added, until the disc is “finalized”, allowing it to be played on CD players. ful licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution thereof may result in severe criminal penalties under copyright laws and international copyright treaties.
1 – Introduction—Finalizing 1.2 Finalizing Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. See 5.1, “Finalizing” for details.
1 – Introduction—Environmental considerations The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician. NOTE When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CD-RW2000, in case you need to transport it in the future.
1 – Introduction—Environmental considerations • • • • • from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices. Always store CD-R discs in their “jewel cases” to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces. Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray. When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oilbased felt-tipped pen to write the information.

Opens and closes the disc tray (equivalent to 3). E SYNC REC key 2 Number keys (0 through 10 and +10) Use this key to turn synchronized recording on and off (equivalent to K). See 4.3.1, “Synchronized recording” for details). Use these keys for direct entry of track numbers when playing back, or making a programmed play list.
2 – Features of the CD-RW2000—Connections Audio signals output from the unit are output from the balanced and unbalanced ANALOG OUT N Q jacks, as well as from the DIGITAL AES/EBU OUT W, DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT jack X and DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT connector Y simultaneously. 2.4.1 Word sync connections It may be necessary to synchronize the CD-RW2000 to an external audio word clock when playing back material.
3 – Playback operations The CD-RW2000 can be used to play back CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been recorded on the unit. Press the DISPLAY key (A or 5) to cycle through these time display modes, as described below: Display shows Meaning TOTAL [blank] 3.1 Simple playback operations 1 Press the OPEN/CLOSE key (3 or 1) to open the disc tray.
3 – Playback operations—Programmed order playback NOTE Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the remote control unit. It is not possible to select the playback mode using the main unit alone. 1 Press the PLAY MODE key A repeatedly to cycle the display through the following: • Program (see 3.2, “Programmed order playback” below). The red PROGRAM display indicator lights in this mode. • Shuffle (random track order). In this mode, each track is played once before the disc repeats.
3 – Playback operations—CALL playback 3.4 CALL playback The CALL keys (L and K) allow the unit’s playback position to be returned to the point at which playback last started from pause mode. If there is no “call point” (i.e. playback starting from pause), pressing the CALL key will have no effect. It should also be noted that this call function is available in play and pause modes only. Note that the call mode is not available when shuffle mode has been selected (see 3.1.
4 – Recording Before you start recording using the CD-RW2000, make sure that you understand the following key points: • Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased from it. • You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and re-recorded. 4.
4 – Recording—Basic recording 4.2 Basic recording NOTE According to the “Red Book” (the specification for audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when recording. If you press either the STOP or the PAUSE key within four seconds of starting recording, the unit will continue recording until four seconds have elapsed (since the start of recording) and then stop or pause as appropriate.
4 – Recording—Advanced recording When in record or record ready mode, repeated presses of the DISPLAY key (A or 5) cycle between displaying the remaining time left for recording on the disc (TOTAL REMAIN) and the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (no indicator lit). When playback is stopped at the start of a recordable disc, there are only two options available: TOTAL (the total time recorded so far on the disc) and TOTAL REMAIN (the total time available on the disc for further recording).
4 – Recording—Advanced recording 2 Turn the MULTI DIAL control B or use the SKIP keys Hto change the value between DD, -24, -30, -36, -42, -48, -54, -60, -66, and -72 dB. The conditions under which an input signal is used as the trigger to start recording are: • when recording digitally, a digital start signal is detected, and audio is subsequently detected Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24) mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start of the synchronized recording.
4 – Recording—Advanced recording If the signal is detected from an MD, the unit enters record ready mode immediately: level CD stop REC pause take place (the rehearsal facility can be used here (4.
4 – Recording—Advanced recording 2 Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit enters record ready mode. The time between the stopping of the source and entering record ready mode is used to record a gap at the end of the track. 3 If no changes are made to the unit’s controls, restarting the source restarts recording, as the unit is still in sync mode and will start recording again when the source is detected.
4 – Recording—Advanced recording viously made will take effect, and the input volume may suddenly change. automatic track increment. Digital recording from CD, MD and DAT level 4.3.4 Long "pause" in signal, but track is not incremented The rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the input signal, and records four seconds of silence on the disc. S_LVL time You may find it helpful to use the track restriction facility (see 4.2.
4 – Recording—Copy-protection 2 Start the source material, and press the FADER key (5 or 8). The display shows FADE IN for the time specified in the menu item above. As the fade progresses, the monitored signal gradually becomes louder, reflecting the level recorded on disc. To perform a fade-out: 1 While recording, press the FADER key (5 or 8). The display shows FADE OUT for the time specified in the menu above.
4 – Recording—Rehearsal are sampled and looped. The position of the loop can be adjusted. This section is looped. The MULTI DIAL control adjusts the position of the loop. 1 Load a recordable disc into the unit and make sure the unit is in stop mode. 2 Cue the source material to the start of the source track to be recorded (i.e. in the example above, this would be just before the count-in). 3 Press the RHSL key 4 so that the display shows Waiting Sync.
4 – Recording—Rehearsal 4.5.2 Rehearsal for track division In the same way that the automatic threshold may produce a false trigger, starting recording at the wrong point, the automatic threshold may produce false track divisions. By rehearsing the point at which the track division is to be made, it is possible to trim the division point so that it corresponds to a the track division which is actually required. 1 Load a recordable disc into the unit and make sure the unit is in stop mode.
5 – After recording This section deals with the actions taken after recording: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for CD-RW discs. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinalized” using the CD-RW2000, i.e. their TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is full, tracks can be erased following the unfinalize process, and new material can be recorded. 5.
5 – After recording—Erasing 3 Turn the MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys to change the number of the first track to be erased. The highest value that this number can take is the last track recorded (e.g. if 17 tracks have been recorded on the disc, 1717 means that the last track only, 17, will be erased). The lowest value that this number can take is 2 (if this number was 1, the whole disc would be erased, as described below).
6 – Reference and specifications 6.1 Troubleshooting Symptom Possible cause and remedy No sound on playback (the disc is playing and the time display is incrementing) No meter indication when a source is input The connections from the CD-RW2000 to the amplifier system have not been made properly, or the input source selector is not at the correct position.
