The CDR 20 Dual-Deck CD Player/Recorder is a unique product, designed not only to play back your existing library of compact discs, but also to record compact discs from either analog or digital programs. You may feed signals (for recording) to the CDR 20 from external sources such as an A/V receiver, a tuner, a tape deck or a CD player, or you may simply place a CD in one deck, and make a copy using a recordable CD in the other deck. [. . . ] CD-RW discs only may be "Unfinalized, so that additional tracks may " be recorded on a disc. ReWritable Discs that bear this logo or whose packaging is labeled with "Digital Audio" and "CD-RW" or "CD Rewritabel" may be recorded, and they may also be erased and reused. They may be recorded on or played on the Record Deck % of the CDR 20 and in other CD-RW recorders or CD-RW compatible players. CD-RW Audio discs will play on most DVD players once they have been finalized. 14 CD RECORDING BASICS Playback Basics Playback of CDs on the CDR 20 resembles that for traditional CD players with a few exceptions to accommodate the availability of two separate playback decks. Before using the CDR 20, power-up the unit by pressing in the Main Power Switch 1 until it latches. Note that the Status-Mode Indicator 2 will turn green, indicating that the unit is on and functioning. At the same time, the Information Display Ú will illuminate and the legends behind the frontpanel controls will also light up. Once the Main Power Switch 1 has been turned on, the CDR 20 may be powered-on or off using the remote control. Pressing the Power-Off button V on the remote will place the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Status-Mode Indicator 2. To turn the unit on using the remote, simply press the Power-On button 0. Note that when the unit is in the Standby mode, it is still drawing power from the AC main outlets. To turn the unit completely off, press in the Main Power Switch 1 slightly, and then release it so that it pops forward. When the Status-Mode Indicator 2 goes out, the CDR 20 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 1 to turn the unit completely off. Although compact discs are very reliable, rough handling may damage them. Avoid scratching the bottom (nonprinted) side of the discs, as this will affect playback 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 damage 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 7$2T. The word O P E N will appear in the Information Display K. Always make certain that there is sufficient room in front of the unit for the disc drawers to open. Note that if either disc drawer is blocked, the drawer will stop at the blocked position and an ERROR message will appear. Press the appropriate Open/Close button 7 $2T to reopen the drawer. Load a disc in the tray with the printed (label) side facing up. [. . . ] Note that before individual tracks may be erased the disc must be unfinalized. If the disc is finalized, follow the instructions above for unfinalizing before proceeding with these steps. To erase only the last track, press the Erase button K!. Note that the Information Display K will display 01 TRK and the Erase Indicator V will flash. [. . . ]
