How to use the CD-R/RW drive  
This manual is supplement of the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual.  
It describes how to use the CD-R/RW drive built in the MR-8HD/CD, as well as an  
external CD-R/RW drive connected to the [USB HOST] port of the MR-8HD/CD.  
Before you use a CD-R/RW drive, read this supplementary manual together with  
the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual.  
For using the internal CD-R/RW drive, this supplementary manual explains the  
following four items.  
(1) How to create an audio CD  
(2) How to import audio data from a CD-DA disc  
(3) How to convert song data to a mono WAV file and export it  
(4) How to import a mono WAV file from a CD-R/RW disc  
For using an external CD-R/RW drive, it only explains "how to create an audio CD".  
Note that you can only create an audio CD using an external CD-R/RW drive.

MR-8HD/CD Supplementary manual  
Please read before using  
Before using the internal CD-R/RW drive of the MR-8HD/CD (or an external CD-R/RW  
drive), read the following.  
Usable discs  
Only discs with any of the following logos can be used with the internal CD-R/RW drive of the  
MR-8HD/CD (or an external CD-R/RW drive connected to the MR-8HD/CD [USB HOST] port).  
<CD-R disc>  
You can make additional recording to a CD-R disc until it is finalized if it is brand  
new and still has enough recordable area (additional recording is possible only in  
the "Track at once" mode).  
Recordable  
ReWritable  
<CD-RW disc>  
You can make additional recording to a CD-RW disc until it is finalized if it is brand  
new and still has enough recordable area (additional recording is possible only in  
the "Track at once" mode).  
<CD disc>  
You can view TOC information of a disc with this logo (such as a commercially  
available CD) but you cannot make recording.  
<Note>: Using the internal CD-R/RW drive of the MR-8HD/CD (or an external CD-R/RW drive  
connected to the MR-8HD/CD [USB HOST] port), you cannot play back CD-DA discs you created  
(or commercially available audio CDs).  
Handling of CD-R/RW discs  
Handle a disc with care by holding them by the rim or  
by a finger through the center hole, rather than  
touching the surface. Do not get fingerprints, dust,  
scratch, etc. on the signal side.  
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of  
the disc. Do not make a scratch on the label side.  
A scratch may make recording or playback  
impossible. Do not write on the label side of a disc  
with a hard pen such as a ballpoint pen and a pencil.  
Only use a soft pen.  
Do not use a curved or cracked disc, which may cause  
malfunction of the drive.  
If dust or fingerprint is attached to the signal side, wipe  
the disc gently with a soft dry cloth or a cloth with  
ethyl alcohol from the center towards the outside edge.  
Do not wipe it from the outside towards the center.

MR-8HD/CD Supplementary manual  
Track data which can be recorded to a CD-R/RW disc  
You can record a stereo WAV file converted from two mono files on tracks 7 and 8 (final  
mixed-down files) to a CD-R/RW disc in the CD-DA format. Mixed-down files on tracks 7  
and 8 can be created by in either of the following track bouncing methods.  
(1) Bouncing tracks 1 through 6 to tracks 7/8 of the same song.  
(2) Bouncing tracks 1 through 8 to tracks 7/8 of the new song.  
See pages 63 through 74 of the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual for details about track  
bouncing. See pages 90 and 91 of the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual for details about how  
to convert files on tracks 7 and 8 to a stereo WAV file.  
On the MR-8HD/CD, a stereo WAV file con-  
verted from track 7/8 data is stored to the "2  
Song  
MIX" folder in the Song folder of the original  
2 MIX  
song (see the illustration on the left). Also see  
page 93 of the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual.  
#####001.wav  
When creating an audio CD using the internal  
CD-R/RW drive (or an external CD-R/RW  
*********.wav  
drive), only stereo WAV files in the "2 MIX"  
#####002.wav  
folder can be burned to a CD-R/RW disc in the  
CD-DA format. Therefore, you must load the  
song in which one or more desired stereo WAV  
#####003.wav  
files are stored.  
Before creating an audio CD, read the <Note>  
on the next page.  
#####008.wav  
<Hint!>: Before creating an audio CD, you can check a stereo WAV file in the "2 MIX"  
folder by playing back in the "2 MIX file playback" mode (see page 5 for details), as well  
as can set CUE points for track division. If you make an audio CD from a stereo WAV file  
which contains more than one song (such as a file of "live" recording), you can divide the  
file into tracks by setting a CUE to the beginning of each song. In this case, select the  
burning mode to "Disk at once" when creating an audio CD (for details about how to set  
a CUE, see "Stereo WAV file playback" from the next page).  
<Note>: To play back a stereo WAV file or create an audio CD, you must load the song in which the  
bounced track data on tracks 7/8 has been converted to the stereo WAV file (see the example  
below).  
<Example>: If five songs (01 through 05) are recorded on the hard disk and the stereo WAV  
file to be burned to a CD-R/RW disc is stored in the "2 MIX" folder of Song 03;  
Load Song 03 before starting the operation.  
To load the desired song, use the "Select Song" menu item in the "Song" menu of the MENU  
mode. See page 98 of the MR-8HD/CD owner's manual for details about the "Select Song"  
menu item.

About "Track at once" and "Disk at once"  
The MR-8HD/CD provides two burning modes for creating an audio CD in the CD-DA format.  
"Track at once"  
The unit burns a stereo WAV file to a CD-R/RW disc as a track. You can burn an additional  
track at a later time until the disc is finalized. Each time you burn a file, a TOC is created.  
Approximately two-second silence is automatically inserted between tracks.  
"Disk at once"  
The unit burns a stereo WAV file and automatically finalizes the disc. You cannot burn an  
additional data. As described earlier in "2 MIX file playback mode", when one or more CUE  
points are set to the stereo WAV file, file data is divided into tracks at the CUE points.  
In this mode, no mute space is created between tracks. (Note that if the stereo WAV file  
does not have any CUE point, it is burned as a single track.)  
The following is assumed that a song which has a stereo WAV file in the "2 MIX folder" is loaded.  
You can select between "Track at once" and "Disk  
at once".  
1)  
2)  
Set a blank CD-R/RW disc to the CD-R/RW drive.  
While the unit is stopped, press the  
[MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the MENU mode.

desired burning mode and press the  
[MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display now shows the screen for selecting  
a stereo WAV file in the "2 MIX folder" of the  
current song.  
In the screen example below, only one stereo  
WAV file is stored.  
4)  
Use the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select  
"CD Burn " and press the [MENU/ENTER]  
knob.  
The display now shows the Burning mode  
selection screen.

Viewing theTOC information  
You can view the TOC information of a burned disc both before finalizing and after  
finalizing (for a disc burned by "Disk at once", you can view the TOC only after finalizing,  
of course). It is recommended to check the remaining time (the recordable time left) from  
the TOC information whenever you write an additional stereo WAV file in the "Track at  
once" mode.  
<TOC>: TOC stands for Table of Contents. TOC lists number of CD tracks, their starting  
locations, playing time of each track on the disc, etc.  
Viewing theTOC information before finalizing (only for a disc burned by "Track at once")  
The following assumes that a disc contains a track burned by "Track at once" and has not yet  
been finalized, while "CD Burn " is highlighted on the CD-RW screen.  
2)  
After viewingTOC, use the [MENU/ENTER] knob  
to select " Back" and press the  
[MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display returns to the screen where  
"CDTOC " is highlighted.  
1)  
Use the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select  
"CDTOC " and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display shows “Please Wait...”, followed by  
the track number and playing time, as well as  
the disc remaining time.  
To burn an additional track by "Track at once"  
after viewing the TOC information, select “CD  
Burn ” and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob, then  
select a desired stereo WAV file, as described  
earlier (see page 11).  
To finalize the disc after viewing the TOC infor-  
mation, select "CD Finalize " and press the  
[MENU/ENTER] knob (see page 11).  
<Note>: The following shows the screen ex-  
ample when you burn multiple WAV files by  
“Track at once”. You can check the playing time  
of each track as well as the disc remaining time.

Viewing theTOC information after finalizing  
The following assumes that a disc automatically finalized after "Disk at once" writing or a disc  
finalized after "Track at once" writing is ejected from the internal CD-R/RW drive, while the  
display shows the CD-RW menu screen where "CD Finalize " is highlighted.  
1)  
Close the ejected disc tray of the CD-R/RW  
drive.  
Push the front of the disc tray gently by hand.  
The finalized disc is loaded.  
Confirm that the "CD Finalize " is highlighted  
on the screen.  
<Note>: When you burn multiple stereo WAV  
files by "Track at once" and finalized or you burn  
a stereo WAV file with multiple CUE points by  
"Disk at once", the Track list screen looks like  
the one below (the remaining time is shown as  
"0h 00m 00s", of course).  
<Note>: When you close the tray, the drive  
starts reading the disc and the access indica-  
tor starts flashing. Therefore, do not carry out  
the next operation until the drive stops access-  
ing and the access indicator gets unlit.  
<Note>: You can also view the TOC of a com-  
mercially available audio CD, as with an audio  
CD you create using the MR-8HD/CD. (Note  
that some commercially available audio CDs  
may not show the TOC information.)  
2)  
Use the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select  
"CDTOC " and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display shows "Please Wait...", followed by  
the TOC information, as with "Viewing the TOC  
information before finalizing".  
To do this, set an audio CD to the CD-R/RW  
drive and carry out the same operation as de-  
scribed above using the "CD-RW" menu in the  
MENU mode.  
However, in this case, the remaining time is  
shown as "0h 00m 00s", which means no more  
track can be recorded to this finalized disc.  
Note that you can view only the playing time of  
each track. You cannot view track titles.  
3)  
After checking theTOC information, use the  
[STOP] key to exit the MENU mode.  
The display returns to the Home screen.

Exporting song data to a CD-R/RW disc  
You can convert song data (tracks 1 through 8) of the currently loaded song to mono  
WAV files and export (copy) them to a CD-R/RW disc. Not only for data backup, the  
copied mono WAV files on a CD-R/RW disc also can be exported to a personal computer  
for use in the multitrack recording application.  
Note that you can directly export song data to a personal computer using the WAV Man-  
ager by Fostex (see page 92 of the original manual for details).  
The following description assumes that a blank CD-R/RW disc is set to the internal CD-R/  
RW drive and a source song is loaded to the MR-8HD/CD.

Important! CD-R/RW drives which can be connected to the MR-8HD/CD  
You can connect the MR-8HD/CD [USB HOST] port to any CD-R/RW drive which has a [USB]  
port and can be powered by AC main or batteries. The MR-8HD/CD does not provide USB bus  
power facility (which allows supplying power to an external device from the unit), therefore,  
you cannot connect a CD-R/RW drive which only can be powered by USB connection.  
Also note that the models which can be used with the MR-8HD/CD may change. Check the  
update information of the currently available CD-R/RW drives from Fostex website (http://  
About "Track at once" and "Disk at once"  
The MR-8HD/CD provides two burning modes for creating an audio CD in the CD-DA format.  
"Track at once"  
The unit burns a stereo WAV file to a CD-R/RW disc as a track. You can burn an additional  
track at a later time until the disc is finalized. Each time you burn a file, a TOC is created.  
Approximately two-second silence is automatically inserted between tracks.  
"Disk at once"  
The unit burns a stereo WAV file and automatically finalizes the disc. You cannot burn an  
additional data. As described earlier in "2 MIX file playback mode", when one or more CUE  
points are set to the stereo WAV file, file data is divided into tracks at the CUE points.  
In this mode, no mute space is created between tracks. (Note that if the stereo WAV file  
does not have any CUE point, it is burned as a single track.)  
In the procedure described below, it is assumed that the following preparations are made.  
• Both the MR-8HD/CD and the CD-R/RW drive are powered, while a CD-R/RW disc is set to the CD-R/  
RW drive .  
• The song which has the stereo WAV file to be burned is loaded.

Viewing theTOC information  
You can view the TOC information of a burned disc both before finalizing and after  
finalizing (for a disc burned by "Disk at once", you can view the TOC only after finalizing,  
of course). It is recommended to check the remaining time (the recordable time left) from  
the TOC information whenever you write an additional stereo WAV file in the "Track at  
once" mode.  
<TOC>: TOC stands for Table of Contents. TOC lists number of CD tracks, their starting  
locations, playing time of each track on the disc, etc.  
Viewing theTOC information before finalizing (only for a disc burned by "Track at once")  
The following assumes that a disc contains a track burned by "Track at once" and has not yet  
been finalized, while "CD Burn " is highlighted on the USB HOST screen.

"CDTOC " and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display shows "Please Wait...", followed by  
the track number and playing time, as well as  
the disc remaining time.  
To burn an additional track by "Track at once"  
after viewing the TOC information, select “CD  
Burn ” and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob, then  
select a desired stereo WAV file, as described  
earlier (see page 24).  
To finalize the disc after viewing the TOC infor-  
mation, select "CD Finalize " and press the

Viewing theTOC information after finalizing  
The following assumes that a disc automatically finalized after "Disk at once" writing or a disc  
finalized after "Track at once" writing is ejected from an external CD-R/RW drive, while the  
display shows the CD-RW menu screen where "CD Finalize " is highlighted.  
1)  
Close the ejected disc tray of the CD-R/RW  
drive.  
Push the front of the disc tray gently by hand.  
The finalized disc is loaded.  
Confirm that the "CD Finalize " is highlighted  
on the screen.  
<Note>: When you burn multiple stereo WAV  
files by "Track at once" and finalized or you burn  
a stereo WAV file with multiple CUE points by  
"Disk at once", the Track list screen looks like  
the one below (the remaining time is shown as  
"0h 00m 00s", of course).  
<Note>: When you close the tray, the drive  
starts reading the disc and the access indica-  
tor starts flashing. Therefore, do not carry out  
the next operation until the drive stops access-  
ing and the access indicator gets unlit.  
<Note>: You can also view the TOC of a com-  
mercially available audio CD, as with an audio  
CD you create using the MR-8HD/CD. (Note  
that some commercially available audio CDs  
may not show the TOC information.)  
2)  
Use the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select  
"CDTOC " and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.  
The display shows "Please Wait...", followed by  
the TOC information, as with "Viewing the TOC  
information before finalizing".  
To do this, set an audio CD to the CD-R/RW  
drive and carry out the same operation as de-  
scribed above using the "USB HOST" menu in  
the MENU mode.  
Note that you can view only the playing time of  
each track. You cannot view track titles.  
However, in this case, the remaining time is  
shown as "0h 00m 00s", which means no more  
tracks can be recorded to this finalized disc.  
3)  
After checking theTOC information, use the  
[STOP] key to exit the MENU mode.  
The display returns to the Home screen.
