Features of the CDR-830 BurnIT CD recorder
Create your own audio CDs
The HHB BurnIT offers a high-quality and affordable way to burn your own audio CDs. Create original
recordings, or assemble professional compilations from existing source material.
The CD text feature of the CDR-830 allows you put text information on your recordings to easily identify
and select from the contents.
Make digital recordings from any source
The CDR-830 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it to
almost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter, you can
make direct digital recordings from many different sources such as DAT (32kHz up to 48kHz), as well as
CD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only)
enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs too. Analog sources are also catered for with the
analog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard unbalanced line level connections.
Use both ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable CDs
Ordinary recordable CDs (CD-R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discs
and the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for many
applications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD-RW, is a more recent type of recordable CD that allows
erasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use the
discs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD-R**.
* While most CD players should have no problems with
CD-R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), the
player may not be able to read some CD-R discs.
**At the time of writing, meny ordinary CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. Check in the instructions
that came with the player for compatibility.

Putting the batteries in the remote control
• Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off.
• Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with the
markings inside the compartment.
• Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.
Caution!
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:
• Don’t mix new and old batteries together
• Don’t use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar, different batteries may
have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery
compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental
public institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.
Avoiding condensation problems
Handling discs
Condensation may form inside the player if it is
brought into a warm room from a cold
When holding CDs of any type, take care not to
leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc
surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs
can affect playback and/or recording perfor-
mance. Take care also not to scratch the label
side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the
recording side, scratches can still result in a
disc becoming unusable.
environment, or if the temperature of the room
rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t
damage the player, it may temporarily impair its
performance. For this reason you should leave it
to adjust to the warmer temperature for about
an hour before switching on and using.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping
the disc lightly from the center to the outside
edge. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol,
or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzene, thinners or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning external surfaces
Before cleaning turn off and disconnect the unit
from the power outlet. To clean, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with
a mild detergent solution made by diluting one
part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well,
then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe
the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such
as benzene or thinners which may damage the
surfaces.
Moving the unit
If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and
unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move
the unit during playback or recording—the disc
rotates at a high speed and may be damaged.
Wipe lightly from the
center of the disc

durable, you should still take care to handle and
store discs correctly. When you're not using a
disc, return it to its case and store upright.
Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or
hot environments (including under direct
sunlight).
CDs spin at high speed inside the player during
playback and recording. If you can see that a
disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it in your CD recorder
or player—you could end up damaging the unit.
When labeling discs, use a felt-tip pen sold for
marking CDs. Use only labels that are designed
specifically for CD use. Don't glue paper or put
other stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-
point pen or other sharp-tipped writing

Recording and finalizing discs
Recording copyright material
Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs
have a number of distinct states, and what you
can do with a disc depends on the current state
of the disc. The figure below shows the three
states—blank, partially recorded, and finalized—
and summarizes what’s possible (✔) and
impossible (✘) in each.
WARNING: Recording of CD’s or other material
protected by copyright can be unlawful, and the
CDR830 is not supplied for such purposes.
Please ensure that this unit is not used for any
infringement of copyright law. HHB accepts

The process of finalization fixes the contents of a
CD-R in place permanently by creating a Table of

disc which tells other players exactly what's on
the disc and where to find it. See Finalizing a

Before making or changing the connections,
switch off the power and disconnect the power

When connecting optical leads, take care not to
bend the cable around sharp corners as this can
damage the cable. Likewise, when storing optical
cable, coil loosely (as shown on page 7).
Please ensure that if you are using the coaxial
digital connections that 75 ohm video type cable
is used.
If you’re using one of the coaxial-type digital
connectors you’ll need a lead with an RCA/
phono plug at each end. Please only use digital
audio cables, not normal audio interconnects.
Connecting up for digital
playback & recording
Using the digital inputs
To make direct digital recordings on the CDR–
830 you’ll need to connect the digital output of a
source (like a CD, MD, or DAT player) to one of
the digital inputs on this unit. To make
The diagrams on these pages show possible
connections with various other components in
your system. Before you start connecting your
system, make sure that all the components are

outlet.
recordings from analog sources (like an analog
tape deck) connect the outputs of your analog
source to the line inputs of the CDR–830—see
the following page for more detail.
About optical and coaxial jacks
Using the digital outputs
The CDR–830 has both optical and coaxial jacks
for both digital input and output. There’s no need
to connect both, but since some equipment has
only one type of connector—and you can only
connect like with like—having both types on this
unit can be an advantage.
If you have another digital recorder, such as a
MD or DAT recorder, you might want to use the
CDR–830 as a digital source. In this case,
connect one of the digital outputs of the CDR–
830 to a similar digital input on your other digital
recorder.
To use the optical jack, you’ll need an optical cable.
These are readily available at audio dealers. When
buying, check that the cable is no longer than 3m.
Pull out the dust cap and store it
in a safe place for future use.
Check that both optical plug and
socket are free from dust—if
necessary, clean with a soft, dry
cloth. The optical lead will only go
in one way, so match up the jack
and the plug before inserting fully.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never
touch the power cord when your hands are wet,
as this could cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of
furniture, or other object on the power cord or
pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The
power cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause a fire or give you an electric
shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If
you should find it damaged, ask your nearest
HHB authorized service center or your dealer for
a replacement.

The CDR-830 is designed to let
you make extremely high quality
digital recordings onto recordable

on the discs you can and can’t
use with this recorder, see About
CD, CD-R and CD-RW Discs on
page 8. The following overview
gives you some idea of what the
CDR-830 is capable of, and also
provides guidance on what to
avoid and things to be careful of
when recording. We strongly
recommend that you read these

Recording modes
Digital recording from DAT
The recorder is equipped with a set of analog
input terminals, as well as both optical and
coaxial digital inputs. This means that the CDR-
830 is compatible with almost all audio
If you’re recording a DAT tape that was recorded
using the DAT machine's auto ID function, the
IDs on the tape may be slightly after the
beginning of the actual recording. This can cause
problems for the CD recorder:
sources—analog or digital. It even has a built in
sampling rate converter making it ideal for
recording from 48kHz DAT or other digital
source, which might be at a sampling rate
different to that of CD. Since CDs are always
recorded at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, sample
rate conversion is completely automatic—if the
recorder senses a digital signal at either 32 or
48kHz, it will convert it to 44.1kHz. Note that
this recorder can't convert 96kHz digital sources
(such as some DAT tapes and DVD discs).
• The start of the track may not be recorded.
• The track number will be recorded on the disc
after the start of the track.
• The beginning of the next track on the DAT is
unintentionally recorded.
To avoid these problems, we recommend
recording start IDs on the DAT manually, if
possible. If this is not possible, or if there are no
start IDs on the DAT, we recommend using
manual track numbering while recording to CD
to ensure that new tracks are starting in the
right places. Refer to the instructions for your
DAT recorder for more information.
Miscellaneous information
• The minimum recordable time is four
seconds.
You might also encounter problems if you try to
synchro-record all tracks from a DAT that is set
to program play. If you want to record a DAT in
program play mode, use the 1-track synchro
recording mode—see page 19 for how to do
this.
• Usually, track numbers are recorded onto the
disc automatically when recording. If you
decide to switch off this feature (for example,
when you’re recording from a digital
broadcast), be sure to input track markers as
recording is taking place—you can’t add them
after recording is complete. See page 33 for
more on manual and automatic track number-
ing.
Digital signal interruptions
Sources of signal interruption include power or
source component failure, accidental
• The maximum number of tracks on a disc is
99.
disconnection of the interconnect cord, and
interruption of digital broadcasts. In all these
cases, if the signal resumes within about five
seconds, the result will just be a blank section on
the disc. If the interruption is longer than five
seconds, the recorder displays the error
message: DIN UNLOCK and recording is paused.
Power interruptions
Never switch off the CDR-830 while it's
recording, or while the display shows PMA REC
(Program Memory Area Recording). If there's a
power failure, or you accidently disconnect the
power from the wall outlet while recording is in
process, you may lose at least part of the
recording.
After recording, always remove the disc from
the recorder before switching the power off.
Failure to do this could result in you losing some
of the recorded material on the disc.

Use the manual recording

syncho recording is not suitable.
For example, if you are recording
from a digital source that does
not have ID flags, synchro
recording is not possible since
there are no track numbers or
start IDs to signal the start and
end points of the recording.
Manual recording is also useful

as an old recording, or from a
source with long quiet sections,
where the recorder may not
recognize the end of tracks.

HOW TO RECORD USING DIGITAL INPUTS
TRACK NUMBERING IN SYNCHRO & NORMAL MODES
1. Insert a recordable disc (CD-R or CD-RW)
•
The CDR830 employs an intelligent track numbering scheme which adapts to the type of signal being
recorded. It is also used to determine how the machine starts automatically in SYNCHRO mode.
2. Use the INPUT SELECTOR to select either the OPTICAL or COAX digital input depending on how you
have connected the source machine to your CDR830.
•
The following table shows how this scheme works.
3. If necessary adjust the DIGITAL RECORD LEVEL by accessing D.VOL in the MENU (Function 5).
PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST COMMERCIAL RECORDINGS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR LEVEL AND SO IT IS
NOT NECESSARY TO ADJUST DIGITAL RECORD LEVEL. Use this control when the signal level is too
low or when you want to equalise the level of several tracks.

• Ensure that the source material is not playing otherwise CHECK INPUT? will appear in the display.
• Press SYNCHRO to select SYNC-1 which automatically copies 1 track (useful for compilations).
• Press SYNCHRO again to select SYNC-ALL which is used to copy all tracks automatically.
• Press SYNCHRO again to select SYNC-FINAL which is the same as SYNC-ALL except that the disc
will, in addition, be finalized automatically about 1 minute after recording has finished. Press STOP
at any time to manually terminate the recording.
HOW TO ERASE (CD-RW ONLY)
1. There are 5 Erase modes for CD-RW; ERASE TOC (Un-finalizes a CD-RW)
ERASE LAST (Erases last track)
ERASE ALL (Erases all tracks)
ERASE RANGE (Erases a range of tracks)
INITIALIZE (see page 38 of the operations manual)
When recording finishes, the display will show PMA REC whilst the Programme Memory Area is
written. DO NOT DISTURB OR SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE DURING THIS PROCESS.
2. Press ERASE, then use 9 : to select the required erase mode.
3. Press PLAY.
AUTO-STOP FUNCTION
•
In SYNCHRO recording mode, if the source is 16-bit, recording will automatically stop if the level falls below
-96dBFS for 5 seconds or more.
•
If the source is 24-bit, recording will automatically stop when the level falls below -90dBFS for 5 seconds
or more. This is due to the built in dithering circuitry of the CDR830.

Parallel remote input.
In order to select a line level balanced analogue input as
source, set the rear panel switch labelled SW1 to posi-
tion 2. 'BAL +4'. Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR
to select ANALOG.
WORD CLOCK INPUT
In order to select a mono or stereo microphone as
source, set the rear panel switch labelled SW1 to posi-
tion 3. 'BAL -60'. Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR
to select ANALOG.
In today's digital studio environment, it is becoming more
and more important to be able to lock/synchronise all
digital equipment to a common sampling frequency or
house clock. The effects of 'unlocked' equipment are all
too noticeable as signal degradation, crackles and pops
as machines 'clock' at different rates.
BALANCED ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
The CDR830 PLUS automatically detects whether there
is a valid word clock signal connected to its word clock
BNC input connector and if so, routes all digital outputs
via a sample rate converter that is 'locked' to the same
sampling frequency as the word clock input signal. If no
valid word clock is detected at the input, then digital out-
puts will be clocked out at the 830's internal clock sam-
pling frequency of 44.1khz.
The balanced analogue outputs have an output level of
+18dBu for 0dBFS.
PARALLEL REMOTE INPUT(DIN 8-pin)
By connecting the circuit shown below, remote control
operation of this unit is possible with external switches.
The parallel remote control has priority over the wireless
remote control. When the same buttons are pressed at
the same time on both units, operation with the parallel
remote control will have priority.
Note: When locked to an external word clock source,
the digital outputs do not transmit p/q sub-code infor-
mation.
BALANCED DIGITAL INPUT
The balanced digital input is compatible with both con-
sumer and professional interface protocols. It has the
electrical characteristics of a professional balanced
interface (110 ohms input impedance).
In order to select the balanced digital input as source,
perform the following:
1. Set the rear panel switch labelled SW2 to position
1. 'BAL'
2. Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR to select
COAXIAL.
