CDR 2 Important Notes – including issues that may be
confused with “defects” when they are part of normal
operation
1. ALWAYS remove all discs before moving or repacking the unit! Since the
discs are not seated on a spindle, they have a tendency to slip out of the
trays. At best, the top cover needs to be removed in order to retrieve the
discs. At worst, loose discs inside the chassis can damage delicate
optical parts.
2. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM.
3. Although coaxial digital jacks may look the same as analog RCA jacks,
they are connected to different circuitry which is designed to process a
different type of signal. Do not connect coaxial digital jacks to analog RCA
jacks, and do not use audio interconnects that use twisted pair
construction for coaxial digital connections.
4. All optical connectors are not the same. Make sure to use only “TOS”
type connectors, which will audibly click when fully inserted into the jack.
Remember to save the plastic dust cap for the optical jack, and replace it
when the jack is not in use.
5. When playing CDs in Single mode, the audio signal will be routed to all
output jacks, regardless of which deck of the CDR 2 is playing.
6. The CDR 2 will only record on AUDIO CD-R and CD-RW discs. Only
use discs that bear the “Compact Disc Digital Audio Recordable” or
“Compact Disc Digital Audio ReWritable” logo. The packaging for these
discs should specify that they are intended for use in consumer CD audio
recorders.
7. The CDR 2 will NOT record on discs designed for use in computer CD-R
or CD-RW drives.
8. If a computer CD-R or CD-RW disc has been previously recorded on in a
computer drive and properly finalized in accordance with audio standard
IEC958, it can be played in the CDR 2. However, the CDR 2 will not
erase and record over a computer CD-RW disc.
9. In order to remove a program list, you must either turn the unit off or
remove the disc (or open the drawer so that the CDR 2 thinks you have
removed the disc).
10. Lower the volume when dubbing at high speed. You will be able to hear
the playback, and the higher pitch of the sound at high volumes may
cause damage to your speakers.
11. A program list may only be dubbed at 1x speed. If you attempt to dub at a
higher speed, the CDR 2 will automatically switch to 1x speed.
12. The CDR 2 is equipped with the Serial Copying Management System
(SCMS). This means that you cannot make a digital copy of a digital copy
of a disc; you can only make an analog copy of the first digital copy. If the
disc you are trying to dub is itself a digital copy, or if it contains copy
prohibit signals, the CDR 2 will automatically switch to analog mode. This
will be indicated in the front panel display.
13. The record level control only works in analog mode. If you find the level
control is having an effect on the recording, then the CDR 2 switched into
CDR2 harman/kardon
