or repairs to the appliance, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to determine

that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance

should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

15. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

22. Heat – The appliance should be situated away

from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other appliances (including

16. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push

amplifiers) that produce heat.

tapes, original cassettes, and other media are

protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the

sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in media-

form, or use as background music in stores and the

like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express

consent from the copyright holder.

When recording with the CDR-201A, you must use

compact discs with the following marks printing on

them:

FOR CONSUMER

FOR CONSUMER USE

FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

(A disc with any of the above markings.)

Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not

have one of the above markings.

CD-R finalization process

After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to

perform the finalization process before the CD-R

can be played in CD players. After the finalization

process is completed, you cannot perform

additional recordings.

and these fees are included in the price of CD-R*¹

and CD-RW*²discs, as well as discs labeled with

"FOR CONSUMER," "FOR CONSUMER USE," and

"FOR MUSIC USE ONLY." Therefore, the recording

of music protected by copyright laws with these

discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying

for purposes other than personal use requires the

permission of the copyright holder.

CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD

players even after finalization. CD-RW discs can

only be played on players compatible with CD-RW

discs. Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be

erased even after finalization.

Notes on usable CDs

Cleaning

Notes on discs

Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the

pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the

sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft

dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward

the outside.

Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special

shaped discs as they may damage the internal

mechanisms of the CDR-201A.

Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or

non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause high-

pitched noises or other unpredictable results that

may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other

connected components.

If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring

it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next,

using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the

disc surface.

Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic

agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other

volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.

Handling discs

Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the

side that does not have printing on it). Always hold

discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.

Cautions for disc storage

Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct

sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other

locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely

low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly

in their protective cases.

Label side

Data side

Never place labels or stickers on the data side or

label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs

or allow them to become scratched.

Cautions when using rented compact

discs

Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached

to them or rental compact discs that have rental

labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling

off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the

CDR-201A may become damaged.

Condensation

When moving the CDR-201A from a cold

location to a hot location, when quickly heating a

cold location with a furnace, or other similar

situation, condensation may occur. This may not

only cause improper operation of the device, but

may also damage the discs and components.

If condensation has occurred, turn on the CDR-

201A and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you

will not use the CDR-201A, then eject any disc

inside.

Do not use 8-cm CD adapters.

Connecting the CDR-201A

1 Connecting to an amplifier/Tuner amplifier

Connect the CDR-201A to the CDR, TAPE or MD terminal on the amplifier/Tuner amplifier.

• Connect the red connectors of the supplied audio connection cables to the R-channel terminals and the

white connectors to the L-channel terminals.

• Make sure the connectors are properly inserted all the way. If the connectors are not properly connected,

noise or improper operation may result.

• Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so may cause

deterioration of the audio signal.

2 Connecting the z cable

• With Onkyo components that are equipped with an z connector, use the supplied z cable to connect

the z connector to the z connector of the CDR-201A.

• The z connectors are only effective if they are used in conjunction with an Onkyo amplifier with an z

connector. Do not connect to a component other than an Onkyo component with an z connector.

Doing so may damage the CDR-201A.

• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.

• Connecting the zcable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.

3 Connecting to the digital input

Using the digital input, you can record digital audio from compact disc players, DAT decks, and other digital

audio components that have a digital output. Connect using the supplied optical digital cable and either the

DIGITAL INPUT 1 and 2 input on the CDR-201A. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with

digital output terminals.

Notes:

• The optical digital terminal is provided with a protection cap installed. When necessary, remove this

protection cap and store it safely. When not using the optical digital input terminal, be sure to put the

cap back on the terminal.

• To perform digital input recording, you must connect to the optical digital input terminal. If the digital

connection is not made, "D.In Unlock" will appear in the display.

4 Connecting to the digital output

Using the digital output, you can connect to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT deck recorders, and other

digital audio recorders that have optical digital input connectors for making digital recordings. You can also

connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital input terminals.

5 Using the AC outlet on the CDR-201A

An AC outlet is available on the CDR-201A for you to connect your own audio devices.

Recording modes

Cautions during recording

Recording mode for system setups

Below is an introduction to the type of recordings

possible when the CDR-201A is connected to the R-

801A, C-701A, MD-101A, and K-501A components.

In the following situations, recording is not

possible even if the o REC or CD DUBBING

button is pressed.

• The CD indicator is lit (a CD or finalized CD-R

has been inserted).

• The CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators are lit (a

finalized CD-RW has been inserted).

• The inserted disc is full and "Disc Full" is

displayed.

• The 99th track has been recorded and "Disc

Full" is displayed.

• The disc is not for audio use or when "Pro Disc"

is displayed.

CD dubbing (digital) (see page 21)

Digitally record all tracks from a music CD to a CD-R

or CD-RW. When dubbing is completed, you can

automatically select the finalization mode. The

dubbing mode is selected at the EDIT menu.

Album mode: Only record the tracks that can be

completely recorded.

Fade-out mode: A fade-out is recorded at the end of

the final track that could not be completely recorded.

Single-track CD dubbing (digital)

(see page 22)

Only the audio signals can be recorded

The CDR-201A is designed for recording audio

signals only and therefore only digital signals that are

audio signals are recorded. Other CD-ROM and

Dolby Digital data, and the like, will not be recorded.

Also, when recording from discs that have graphics

or text data, only the audio signals will be recorded.

Record the track currently being played (or paused)

with the CD player with one touch. The dubbing

mode is the mode that is currently set; however, if

the album mode is set, tracks that cannot be fully

recorded will not be erased, but will be recorded

until the disc becomes full.

The minimum track length is 4 seconds

Synchronous recording

(see page 23)

For compact discs, the minimum track length is 4

seconds. Even if the e (stop) or g (pause) button is

pressed immediately after starting recording, a silent

4-second track will be recorded. Also, during that 4

seconds, you cannot resume recording or perform

another operation.

When connected to a component system, the

operations given below are possible.

• Synchronous recording from the CD player to

the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)

• Synchronous recording from the MD recorder or tape

deck to the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)

• Synchronous recording from the CDR-201A to an

MD recorder or tape deck. (Analog recording only)

When an unrecordable signal in present

during the digital recording

"D.In Unlock" or "Cannot Copy" appears in the

display and the recording operation is suspended.

The operation will be resumed in response to any

recordable signals that may follow.

Note:

For CD dubbing, single-track CD dubbing, and

synchronous recording, you must have the optical

digital cable from the C-701A connected to the

digital input 1 terminal of the CDR-201A. For more

details regarding system setup, refer to the

instruction manual for the R-801A.

Do not turn off the CDR-201A during recording, finalizing, erasing, or while “PMA

Writing” is displayed.

If you accidentally do turn the power off, or if a power outage occurs, the data on the disc may be

rendered unreadable.

Do not shake or subject the CDR-201A to vibrations during recording, finalizing, erasing,

or while “PMA Writing” is displayed.

Doing so may cause the sound on the disc to skip or the data on the disc to become unreadable.

Recording modes

If the digital signal includes the track number

information, the track numbers will be automatically

assigned.

For satellite broadcasts and other digital signals that

do not include track number information, the track

numbers will be automatically updated when 2

seconds or more of silence is detected.

Normal recording mode

When not connected to a component system, there

are a few methods that you can perform to record

the signal in from the analog input or digital input of

the CDR-201A.

Analog recording (see page 26)

This method records the signal at the analog inputs.

The recording level can be adjusted manually.

Name function

Digital recording (see page 27)

Entering a disc name (see page 34)

This method records the signal at the optical digital

inputs. The recording level can be adjusted manually.

You may need to adjust the recording level when

recording low digital signal sources such as satellite

broadcasts and the like.

You can enter one disc name per disc.

Entering track names (see page 37)

You can enter up to 99 track names per disc.

Erasing the disc name and track names

(see page 38)

Signal synchronous recording

(see page 29)

You can erase all the name information retained in

the CDR-201A.

When recording together with a portable MD player

or Onkyo component that does not have an z

connector, you can synchronize the recording with

the input signal.

Finalization

The finalization process writes the TOC data (tracks,

etc.) for the disc in a special area on the disc called

the PMA. After finalization, CD-Rs can be played in

CD players. Even after finalization, CD-RWs can only

be played on CD players that are compatible with

CD-RWs.

About the level sync function

The level sync function detects the space between

tracks (songs, etc.) in the recording source and

automatically assigns track numbers to them during

recording.

For CD-Rs that have been finalized, you cannot add

more recordings.

When the level synch function is turned on

The track numbers are updated automatically. Press

the o REC button to set track numbers manually .

Erasing recording (CD-RW discs only)

The data recorded on CD-RW discs can be erased

and the disc can be used again as many times as

desired (see page 40).

When the level synch function is turned off

The track numbers are not updated automatically.

Press the o REC button to set track numbers

manually .

The erasing methods are given below.

• Erasing data on unfinalized CD-RWs

Last track erase: Erases only the last track.

All track erase: Erases all tracks.

• Erasing data on finalized CD-RWs

All track erase: Erases all tracks.

TOC erase: Returns a finalized disc to the

unfinalized conditions.

For analog recording

If you put the CDR-201A into the recording standby

state, the level sync function turns on automatically.

If there are gaps of no sound 2 seconds or longer

between tracks in the recording source, the track

numbers will be automatically updated.

• Erasing discs

Erases all data recorded on the CD-RW.

For digital recording

If you put the CDR-201A into the recording standby

state, the level sync function turns on automatically.

When recording with portable MD players, or other

components that are not equipped with an z

connector, recording is started synchronous with the

input signal. (This is called signal synchronous

recording.)

Repeatedly press the INPUT button

and select the desired input signal.

Select "Digital In 1," "Digital In 2," or "Analog

In" for the input source.

Notes:

Note the following when using synchronous

recording for digital input sources.

• DATs cannot be recorded if no start ID is present

before audio contents.

Proceed to step 3 if you do not wish to adjust

the recording level.

• CD DUBBING uses a sub-code signal that is

contained in the digital output from most player

components, and therefore there may be some

CD players, MD recorders, or the like where

digital synchronous recording is impossible.

• If you are performing signal synchronous

recording of classical or other soft music using

the analog input, the recording may not start at

the proper time. If this is the case, start the

recording manually (see “Analog recording” on

page 26).

Start playback of the recording source.

Press the o REC button (or the remote

controller REC o button).

"Rec Setup" appears in the display followed by

the time display.

Rules concerning digital recording

Principle 1

Guide to the serial copy

management system

Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a

copy of a CompactDisc (CD), Digital Audio Tape

(DAT), MiniDisk (MD), etc. with a CD-R or CD-RW.

However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to

create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been

created through digital-to-digital copying.

You cannot use digital recording to create a second-

generation copy, a copy of a copy created through

digital recording, with a CD-R or CD-RW. This is

because the unit conforms to the Serial Copy

Management System and permits only one

generation of digital-to-digital copying (the

recording of the original digital signals as they are).

The Serial Copy Management System is based on the

following three rules.

Principle 2

Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a

copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that contains the songs

from analog records, FM radio programs, etc. you

recorded using the unit. However, digital-to-digital

copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or

CD-RW that has been created through digital-to-

digital copying. When two CD recorders are

connected via the analog input and output

terminals, however, recording can be performed

beyond this restriction.

Principle 3

With a DAT deck or a CD recorder that supports the

sampling frequencies of 32 kHz and 48 kHz, digital-

to-digital copying can be used to record the digital

sound from satellite broadcast. (This CD recorder

supports these sampling frequencies.) In this case,

digital-to-digital copying is allowed to create a

second-generation copy. However, with some BS

tuners, second-generation copy may not be

produced.

* When CD recorders are connected using analog

terminals, the number of dubbings is not

limited.
