PLAYBACK BASICS 15

Playback Basics

Playback of CDs on the CDR 30 resembles tradi-

tional CD players with a few exceptions to

accommodate the availability of two separate

playback decks. Before using the CDR 30,

power-up the unit by pressing in the Main

Power Switch

until it latches. Note that the

Standby Mode Indicator

will turn green,

indicating that the unit is on and functioning.

At the same time, the Information Display

˜ will light, the Time/Message Display

will briefly display HARMAN KARDON

MODEL CDR 30 and the indicators behind

the front panel controls will also light up.

Once the Main Power Switch

has been

turned on, the CDR 30 may be powered-on or -

off using the remote control. Pressing the

Power-Off button

on the remote will

place the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated

by the orange color of the Standby Mode

Indicator

. To turn the unit on using the

remote, simply press the Power-On button

Note that when the unit is in the Standby mode,

it is still drawing power from the AC main out-

lets.To turn the unit completely off, press in the

Main Power Switch

slightly, and then

release it so that it pops forward.When the

Standby Mode Indicator

goes out, the

CDR 30 is off and not drawing any power.When

you will not be using the unit for an extended

period of time, such as during a vacation, we

recommend using the Main Power Switch

to turn the unit completely off.

Although compact discs are very reliable, rough

handling may damage them. Avoid scratching

either side of the discs, as this will affect play-

back of standard CDs and interfere with the

recording of CD-R and CD-RW discs. It is also a

good idea to always handle discs by their edges

to avoid fingerprints which may also interfere

with playback quality and possibly cause dam-

age to the laser and lens assembly.

Loading and Unloading Discs

To load a disc, first open the desired CD deck by

pressing the appropriate Open/Close button

. The word OPEN will appear in

the Time/Message Display

. Always make

certain that there is sufficient room in front of

the unit for the disc drawers to open.

Load a disc in the tray with the printed (label)

side facing up. Once the disc is seated, make

certain that it is properly centered within the

tray. When using 8 cm (3") single discs, take

extra care to make certain that the disc is care-

fully centered within the smaller ridges in the

disc tray.

To close the drawer, press the appropriate

Open/Close button

or gently

press on the outside of the front cover of the

disc tray. When the drawer is closed the word

CLOSE will appear momentarily in the

Time/Message Display

, and the letters

TOCwill begin to flash in the display once the

drawer s completely closed.

If the disc is a standard CD or a CD-R or CD-RW

disc, TOCwill flash while the unit reads the

disc’s Table of Contents information. Once that

data is read, the Time/Message Display

will show the total number of tracks and the

total time of all tracks on the disc.The CD

Indicator

will also light to indicate that a

standard CD is in use.

When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc is

placed in the Record Deck

, the letters

OPCwill flash once the preliminary Table of

Contents has been read. This indicates that the

unit is optimizing its circuits for maximum com-

patibility with the specific recordable disc in use.

The number and total running time of any tracks

that have already been recorded will appear in

the Time/Message Display

, and the

appropriate indicator

will light to tell you if a

CD-R or CD-RW disc is in use.

If a computer data disc is placed in the CDR 30,

a DATA DISC or DISC ERROR mes-

sage will appear, depending on if the data disc is

finalized or not. Data discs will not play, and

may not be recorded or dubbed on the CDR 30.

Using The Remote

The CDR 30’s infrared remote control is designed

to operate both CD decks, as well as control the

playback programming and start the recording.

To allow for efficient use of the remote, it’s oper-

ation is different from standard CD players.

Some buttons are dedicated to one specific CD

deck, while others are shared between the two

decks.

No matter which deck is playing, the Play Deck

(CDP) and Record Deck (CDR) Display

and Open/Close buttons

will always send a command to their respective

deck, as well as the buttons Text

, Intro

Scan

and Level Indicator

. The other

transport and programming functions, however,

are shared. To use any of the transport controls,

such as Play

, Stop

, Pause

or the

Search and Skip buttons

58MO

, the

Numeric Keys

or the Programming

Keys

47AFGT

, first press either

the CDP button

to command the Play

Deck

or the CDR button

to command

the Record Deck

. When the button is

pressed, a message reading CDPor CDR will

appear in the appropriate Time/Message

Display

to confirm the selection.

To switch the remote from controlling one deck

to controlling the other, simply press the Select

button

for the deck you wish to con-

trol at any time.

It is always a good idea to press the CDR

Select button

when a recording from an

external source is to be made, otherwise possibly

the recording cannot be started with the remote

(by pressing Play/Select

) or paused or

stopped (by pressing Pause

or Stop

Note that the record-function buttons

Auto/Man

and Track Increment

and

the Single/Dual buttons

are dedi-

cated feature buttons that do not require any

special selection.
