CD-R and CD-RW Discs
There are several major differences between a CD-R and CD-RW.
Copy (Writing): You cannot record (overwrite) on the recorded part of
a CD-R. You can record on a CD-RW over and over again.
Playback: A CD-R can be played back on any CD player.
A CD-RW can only be played on a CD-RW-compatible player, such as
the CDR-HD1500.

About Audio Master Quality Recording (A.M.Q.R.)
Audio Master Quality Recording is a high quality recording mode used
to create an audio CD in the quality of the original. By minimizing the
jitter that subtly degrades audio quality during playback, Audio Master
Quality Recording achieves sound close to the original source. Set
A.M.Q.R. by pressing the A.M.Q.R. button
2
in CD-R copy standby
mode. The A.M.Q.R mark indicator appears in the display.
If you use the A.M.Q.R. function, the original data on the HDD will
disappear from the HDD and “move” onto the CD-R. This is called
“Digital Move.”

NOTE
By using A.M.Q.R., Actual
recordable time will be shorter
than that printed on the CD-
R/RWs. Recordable time is
approximately 63 minutes on a
74-minute CD, and 68 minutes on
an 80-minute CD. This is because
meta-information like TOC (table
of contents) is also recorded.
