CD RECORDING 21
CD Recording
Making recordings on the CDR 30 is simple and
easy once you become accustomed to the basics
of CD Recording. Before making your first record-
ing, please tak
Basics on page 14. In particular you will need to
become familiar with the types of discs that may
or may not be used in the CDR 30. In addition,
some terms used in the following pages may be
new to you. T
mation will help you to mak
using the CDR 30’
• In the following the terms "analog dubbing"
or "analog recording" will say only that the
signal fed to the CDR30 for recording is ana-
log. Of course in the CDR30 all analog record
signals will be converted to digital (A/D con-
verter) and recorded on discs in digital form
only
• The CDR 30 accepts analog inputs and digital
coax or optical inputs Before making a record-
ing, be certain that you have selected the cor-
rect input, using the Input Select Button

• After a disc is recorded, it must be finalized.

data to the disc and mak
machines Until a disc is properly finalized, it
may not be played on standard CD players
• The CDR 30 may record on either CD-R or
CD-RW discs but they must be of the type
specifically designed for use in consumer
CD recorders
looking for the words in the
compact disc logo on the blank disc or its pack-
aging. Discs with the logo reading only
“Compact Disc/Recordable” are designed for
computer data recording, and they may not be
recorded using the CDR 30.
• CD-R discs may not be erased or have material
added to them once they have been finalized.
• At least four (4) seconds of blank recording
time must remain on an unfinalized disc for
recording to tak
•
recorded on a disc is 99.
• Note that some rare CD-R/CD-RW audio
recording discs may be used for single-speed
recordings only
warning, make certain not to dub at 2x or 4x
speed. However the CDR 30 has been tested
for compatibility with a wide range of blank
discs from manufacturers throughout the
world. In most cases blank discs will produce
high-quality recordings at any dub speed.
• In some rare cases
certain CD-R discs If you find that a CD-R disc
plays in some players but not in others the
fault is most lik not with the
recorded disc or the CDR 30. Remember that
CD-RW discs made in the CDR 30 will play only
in CD players that are specially designed to
accommodate CD-RW discs Note that most
DVD players are compatible with finalized CD-
RW discs but many are not with CD-R discs
• Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy
protection data bit that will prevent a digital
copy of the disc to be dubbed from external CD
players (analog copies always can be made
from external sources as well as internal dub-
bings see next chapter). In that caseCopy

• Discs containing MP3 data may only be copied

Recordings on the CDR 30 may be made in a
number of ways:
• Discs may be dubbed using the playback deck

be made in real time at twice normal speed, or
at four times normal playback speed (from
MP3 discs only in real time). More information
on Disc Dubbing see next chapter
• Synchronized digital Recordings may be made
from an external CD or MD player or other digi-
tal source that is synchronized with the dub
being made in the CDR 30, see chapter "Sync

First, insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW or a disc with
sufficient blank space for recording in the

Indicator lights the unit is set to real-time
recording. Note that the slower the record-dub
speed, the more tolerant the unit is of errors on
the blank or played disc. However with most
high-quality blank discs the 2x and 4x speeds
should not present a problem. Note also the 2x
and 4x speed dub is not possible with an MP3
disc.
