14 CD RECORDING BASICS
CD Recording Basics
CD Recorders (CDRs) are similar to standard CD
players, with the addition of the features and
controls needed for recording. Functions such as
play, search and programming for playback will
be familiar, but the recorder will function slightly
differently than what you may be used to for
magnetic tape recorders.
Disc Types
Unlike a conventional CD player, the CDR 30
uses three types of discs, and it is important to
understand how each one plays.
Both decks in the CDR 30 will play
any conventional CD that bears this logo.
Discs that bear this logo or whose
packaging is labeled with ”Digital Audio” and
”CD-R” or ”CD Recordable” may be recorded
on one time, and when they are finalized they
will play in either deck in the CDR 30 or in any
conventional CD player, including home, car and
portable models.The Record Deck
%
on the
CDR 30 may also be used to record on these
discs, and it will play those CD-R/Audio discs
even if they have not been finalized.
Discs that bear this logo or whose
packaging is labeled with ”Digital Audio” and
”CD-RW” or ”CD Rewritable” may be recorded,
and they may also be erased and reused.They
may be recorded on the Record Deck
%
of
the CDR 30 and on other CD-RW recorders and
played on both decks of the CDR30 (on the Rec
Deck
%
even if the CD-RW is not finalized) or
on CD-RW compatible players.They will NOT
play in most current CD players unless the player
is CD-RW compatible. CD-RW Audio discs will
play on most DVD players once they have been
finalized.
Discs that bear this logo
are designed for use in computer CD-R drives
and may not be used for recording in the CDR
30. Only discs specifically designed for use in
consumer CD audio recorders may be used. If
you attempt to use a
blank-computer-type record-
able disc for recording
on the CDR 30 you will
see a NOAUDIO message in the Time/
Message Display
F
as soon as any Record
78
or Dubbing
9)
button is pressed and
recording will not be possible. However, discs
that have been recorded in the CD-R drive of a
computer may be played in the CDR 30, provid-
ed that they have been properly finalized in
accordance with audio standard IEC958.
Note that the CDR 30 is specifically designed for
the recording and playback of consumer audio
discs, and cannot be used to copy data discs,
DVD discs, or other optical discs used by video-
or computer-game systems.
Recording Options
Digital Source to CD Audio: Depending on
the particular input source used, the CDR 30 will
make a CD Audio disc when fed a signal from a
digital source such as an external CD or DVD
player, MiniDisc or DAT player.When the input
signal is not at the 44.1kHz standard used by
digital audio discs it will be converted to the
proper standard by the CDR 30’s built-in sample
rate converter. Input signals will be transferred
directly to the copy disc as a digital signal, pro-
vided that it is an original recording. Digital
sources that are copies can be copied only via
the analog inputs.This is a requirement of the
SCMS system, which is part of the CD recording
system.
When copying using the dual-deck capability of
the CDR 30, the copy may be made in real time
or at twice or four times normal speed.
Analog sources to CD Audio: When the input
signal is a conventional line-level analog audio
signal, such as the record output of a receiver or
processor, it will be converted to digital data and
recorded as a standard CD audio disc. These
dubs may be made in real time only.
MP3 discs to CD Audio: A unique feature of
the CDR 30 is its ability to play discs recorded
with MP3 data files.These discs may be copied
to conventional CD audio discs using the dual-
deck dub capabilities, but only at normal speed.
Note that it is not possible to copy MP3 discs to
additional MP3 disc copies.
The CDR 30 is not equipped to accept external
MP3 files for direct recording.
CDR Terminology and Display Messages
Compact disc recording has its own special ter-
minology, and some of the messages you will
see when using the CDR 30 may be new to you.
Before using the CDR 30, you may wish to famil-
iarize yourself with some of the terms used by
the CDR 30. Additional error message displays
may occasionally appear. Please see page 25 for
a complete explanation of those messages.
Finalize:This term refers to the process
that completes the recording of a disc by record-
ing a final Table of Contents and preparing the
disc so that it may be played on other machines.
A CD-R disc may not be played on the CDP deck
of other CD players until it is finalized. However,
once the finalization process is complete, a CD-R
disc may not be recorded on again. CD-RW discs
must be finalized too to be playable on CD-RW
compatible players, but they may be
“Unfinalized,” so that certain or all tracks may
be deleted or additional tracks may be recorded
on a disc.
TOC: Stands for Table of Contents and it refers
to the data recorded on each CD that tells the
player how many tracks are on the disc, the total
time of the disc and the running time of each
individual track. Each time a disc of any sort is
placed in the CDR 30, you will see a TOCto
indicate that the unit is reading this data from
the disc. This is required to copy the track infor-
mation to any recording.
OPC: Stands for Optical Processing Calibration.
When you see this message in the Time/
Message Display
F
, it means that the laser
transport inside the unit is making the calibra-
tions and adjustments needed so that the
recording process is optimized for the specific
disc in use.
BUSY:When you see this message, it means
that the Record Deck is completing part of the
record operation.When you see this message, do
not press any buttons; simply wait until the mes-
sage clears from the display.
DISC FULL:When there is no more record
time remaining on a recordable disc, a DISC
FULL message will appear in the Time/
Message Display
F
. When you see this mes-
sage, the CDR 30 has stopped the recording
process and, when a CD-R is being recorded,
you can insert a new blank disc or, when a CD-
RW is in use, either use a new disc or erase
existing tracks following the instructions on
page 24.
