1 − Introduction
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used
for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if
space is available on the disc, additional material can be record-
ed. The pack-aging of CD-R discs will include one of the follow-
ing logos:
CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not
stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
•
Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases to
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from
grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality.
To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from
the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner,
gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.
•
•
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as
a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased
before the disc has been “finalized”, and the space on the disc
can be re- used for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW
discs will include the logo one of the following logos:
•
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do
not use any protective coating spray.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
•
•
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a
CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD
player. It will, naturally, be playable on the CD-RW900MKII.
This is in no way a limitation of the CD-RW900MKII itself, but
of the difference between the different types of media and the
methods used to read them.
There are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on
•
which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires
a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints,
grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.
About finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc,
a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play
back the audio) until a final *TOC has been written at the start of
the disc.
CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the disc may
be erased, or the disc may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be “unfi-
nalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks
to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.
*TOC:Table of contents
Information of recorded data, which contains titles, starting
and ending addresses, and etc..
The process of writing this table of contents is known as “final-
izing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to
the disc. See “Finalizing” on page 28 for details. In the case of a
Recordable discs
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a
CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, i.e. further
recording is possible on the disc.

1 − Introduction
Environmental considerations
The CD-RW900MKII may be used in most areas, but to maintain
top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the follow-
ing environmental conditions:
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
•
•
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
•
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
•
NOTE
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
•
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-
case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Handling of compact discs
The CD-RW900MKII has been designed for the playback of
CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded
on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary
5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
•
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
•
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping
could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
•
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
Always insert the compact discs into the unit with their
•
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
•
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care-
fully by the edges.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
•
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-
lar promotional, etc. discs.
•
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep
discs clean and store them in their cases when not being
played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently
with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside
edge.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
•
system, have been released from several record compa-
nies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some
of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,
they may not be playable on the CD-RW900MKII.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
•
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable record-
able discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause
it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to
the turntable of the CD-RW900MKII. If it sticks to the
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

Key control function
The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback or
playback standby modes. However, please note that this feature
does not work with MP3 discs.
NOTE
In this condition, when a CD is played back, the key
of the music is changed while the speed of the music
remains the same.
1. Press the MENU key to select the KEY option in the
PLAY sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page
16) to enter the function.
Even when the power is turned off, the key change
setting is retained.
Or, press the KEY key on the remote control to set
the function on.
When the Key control function is on, even if the Pitch
control function is used to change the playback speed,
the key of playback will remain fixed at the preset key
{even if the key level is 0 (zero)}, the Key control func-
tion can be turned on.
The KEY indicator will light up.
2. Use the KEY LEVEL option in the PLAY sub-menu
to adjust the playback key level.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is
vibrating. This is a result of the key control algorithm
working on the CD playback sound and is normal.

octave in half-tone increments. Selection values: 0
(no change), â1 to â6, ã1 to ã6.
3. Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to select the desired key
level and push to enter.
Playing back MP3 files
MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files
are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within
a directory. In addition, several directories can be combined into
one directory. This results in multiple layers of directories and
files.
MP3 files are played in the following order
Disc
Directory
A
When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a selected
directory are available for playback.
When the directory mode is off, the directory configuration is
ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are available for
playback. Please note that Program playback and Repeat play-
back only function within directories.
Directory
MP3 files

NOTE
mp3. 2

Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
Directories that do not contain MP3 files directly
under them cannot be selected for playback. For
example, in the diagram below, under directory A are
directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 files in
both directories B and C, directory A cannot be select-
ed for playback, but directory B and C can be selected
for playback.

5 − Recording
Before you start recording using the CD-RW900MKII, make
sure that you understand the following key points:
You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc.
Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in
the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW
discs, however, can be erased, refreshed and re-recorded.

are controlled with the INPUT controls.
When recording analog signals, set the digital volume to 0 dB.
Input monitoring
When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the input signal
is output from the OUT jacks (digital and analog), allowing you
to hear the input signal.
The word Monitor appears on the display to show that the output
signal is an echo of the input signal(s).
Exit the monitor mode by using the STOP key.
Press the RECORD key on the front panel or the remote control
when a recordable disc is not inserted.
Frequency conversion
The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The
CD-RW900MKII will always record (and play back) CDs at this
frequency.
To enable the SRC
Press the MENU key and select the SRC? option in the REC sub-
menu (see “Operation basics” on page 16). Rotate the MULTI
JOG dial to select ON. Press the MENU key or push the MULTI
JOG dial to enter.
However, if recording through a digital connection (coaxial or
optical) and the source has been recorded at a frequency other
than 44.1 kHz, or is being played back at a non-standard speed
using a varispeed unit (more than 1% away from the standard),
the CD-RW900MKII’s internal frequency converter: SRC
(Sampling Rate Convertor) will automatically convert the incom-
ing frequency to 44.1 kHz.
NOTE
When the SRC function is off, and a digital signal is
received, the display shows the REC indicator flashing
while recording or when in recording standby mode.
The digital signals other than 44.1kHz cannot be
recorded when SRC is off. The error message Not

When recording stops, the display shows
PMA Writing(Program Memory Area) flashing
for a few seconds as the unit writes to the disc.
NOTE
The red “OVER” indicators on the meters should never
light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units
pro-duce extremely unpleasant sounds when distort-
ed, and there is no “headroom” after the 0 mark. If
recording digitally from a commercially-produced
CD, the volume set in the menu should be 0 dB. This
will maintain all the dynamic range of the source CD
without clipping. Only boost the signal if the source is
exceptionally quiet.
NOTE
When PMA Writing is shown on the display, all keys
are ignored.
To confirm the total recording time, use the REC TIME
option in the SYSTEM sub-menu (see “Operation
basics” on page 16).
An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut
or boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a
reading of −16 dB on the meters.
NOTE
Do not vibrate the unit or turn off the power when the
unit writes to the disc, otherwise, recording will fail.
Time display while recording
When in record or record ready mode, repeated presses of the
TIME key cycle through four different time modes:
Elapsed track time (no display light indication)
•
Remaining track time (REMAIN is lit in the display)
Elapsed disc time (TOTAL is lit in the display)
Remaining disc time (TOTAL and REMAIN are lit in the
display)

Full disc
If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will automati-
cally insert a fade-out. For example: When recording a long
program, just before the end of the disc is reached, the unit starts
a fade-out over four seconds and the display will show Fade Out.
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if required
(see “Erasing” on page 29) and the disc then finalized. If the disc
is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on
page 28).
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows Disc
Full!. Press the STOP key to exit.

6 − After recording
This section deals with the actions taken after record-ing: final-
izing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase operations for
CD-RW discs.
Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more can be
recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be “unfinal-
ized” using the CD-RW900MKII, i.e. their TOC can be deleted,
and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them.
Even if the disc is full, tracks can be erased following the unfi-
nalize process, and new material can be recorded.
Finalizing
As has been explained earlier (“About Finalizing” on page 8), in
order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of
Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finaliz-
ing.
