Notes on usab le CDs

I 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-205X.

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.

I 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.

I Cautions for disc storage

Label side

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.

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.

I 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-205X may become damaged.

Condensation

When moving the CDR-205X 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-

205X and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you

will not use the CDR-205X, then eject any disc

inside.

Cautions during recording

Recording mode for system setups

Below is an introduction to the type of recordings

possible when the CDR-205X is connected to the R-

805X, C-707CHX, K-505X, and MD-105X

components.

In the following situations, recording is not

possible even if the o REC or CD DUBBING

buttons are 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.

I CD dubbing (digital) (see page 20)

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.

The 99th track has been recorded and "Disc

Full" is displayed. Full" is displayed.

Fade-out mode: Fade-out a track if it cannot be

completely recorded.

Only the audio signals can be recorded

The CDR-205X 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.

I Single-track CD dubbing (digital)

(see page 21)

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 recorded until the

disc becomes full.

The minimum track length is 4 seconds

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.

I Synchronous recording

(see page 22)

When connected to a component system, the

operations given below are possible.

Do not turn off the CDR-205X while making

recordings, finalizing discs, or erasing

recordings, or while "PMA Writing" is

displayed

If the power is turned off by mistake or a power

outage occurs, when the power is turned back on

and the recording will resume. However, there are

times when the recording is not properly resumed

and the disc is rendered irreparable.

Note:

For CD dubbing, single-track CD dubbing, and

synchronous recording, you must have the optical

digital cable from the C-707CHX connected to the

digital input 1 terminal of the CDR-205X. For more

details regarding system setup, refer to the

instruction manual for the R-805X.

Record ing m o d es

Normal recording mode

Finalization

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-205X.

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.

I Analog recording (see page 24)

This method records the signal at the analog inputs.

The recording level can be adjusted manually.

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

more recordings, place SKIP commands,

I Digital recording (see page 26)

This method records the signal at the optical digital

inputs. The recording level can be adjusted 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 33)

The erasing methods are given below.

• Erasing data on unfinalized CD-RWs

Last track erase: Erases only the last track.

Multi-track erase: Erases all tracks from the

selected track to the final track.

I Digital Signal synchronous recording

(see page 28)

When recording together with a portable MD player

or component that does not have an z connector,

you can synchronize the recording with the digital

input signal.

All track erase: Erases all tracks.

• Erasing data on finalized CD-RWs

All track erase: Erases all tracks.

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.

TOC erase: Returns a finalized disc to the

unfinalized conditions.

• Erasing discs

Erases all data recorded on the CD-RW.

I For analog recording

The level sync function automatically turns off. To

assign the track numbers, during recording press the

o REC at the locations where you want to add them.

If there are gaps of no sound 2 seconds or longer

between tracks in the recording source, you can turn

on the level sync function and have the track

numbers assigned automatically (see page 25).

I For digital recording

The level sync recording automatically turns on. 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, turn off the

level sync function and assign the track numbers

manually (see page 27).

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.
