The CDR 25 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 25 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. [. . . ] Before using the CDR 25, you may wish to familiarize yourself with some of the terms used by the CDR 25. Additional error message displays may occasionally appear. Please see page 23 for a complete explanation of those messages. Finalize: This term refers to the process that completes the recording of a disc by recording 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 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 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 Rewritable" 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 25 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. NOTE: To avoid the confusion between recordable discs that are formatted for use with consumer CD recorders such as the CDR 25 and standard CD-R/RW discs which are meant only for use in computers, some manufacturers or retailers will add a "For Music Use" icon to their discs. However, to be assured of complete compatibility with the CDR 25, always look for the words "DIGITAL AUDIO" in the compact disc logo when purchasing blank discs for use with your CDR 25. 14 CD RECORDING BASICS Playback Basics Playback of CDs on the CDR 25 resembles that for traditional CD players with a few exceptions to accommodate the availability of two separate playback decks. Before using the CDR 25, 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 25 may be powered-on or off using the remote control. Pressing the Power-Off button H 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 25 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. [. . . ] Within eight seconds press the Play/Select Button 9* and note that a DISC ERASE message will appear in the Information Display K followed by a three digit time indication (e. g. The time indication part of the message is the start of a countdown clock that will tell you how much time is remaining in the erasure process. When the display counts down to 0:00 and the Record Indicator T goes out, the Information Display K will return to its normal indications and the erasure process is complete. The disc is now totally erased and may be reused. [. . . ]
