The CDR 25 Dual-Deck CD Player/Recorder is a unique product, designed not only to play back your existing library of compact discs, but also to record compact discs from either analog or digital programs. You may feed signals (for recording) to the CDR 25 from external sources such as an A/V receiver, a tuner, a tape deck or a CD player, or you may simply place a CD in one deck, and make a copy using a recordable CD in the other deck. [. . . ] To turn the unit on using the remote, simply press the Power-On button 0. Note that when the unit is in the Standby mode, it is still drawing power from the AC main outlets. To turn the unit completely off, press in the Main Power Switch 1 slightly, and then release it so that it pops forward. When the Status-Mode Indicator 2 goes out, the CDR 25 is off and not drawing any power. When you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time, such as during a vacation, we recommend using the Main Power Switch 1 to turn the unit completely off. Although compact discs are very reliable, rough handling may damage them. Avoid scratching the bottom (nonprinted) side of the discs, as this will affect playback of standard CDs and interfere with the recording of CD-R and CD-RW discs. It is also a good idea to always handle discs by their edges to avoid fingerprints which may also interfere with playback quality and possibly cause damage to the laser and lens assembly. Loading and Unloading Discs To load a disc, first open the desired CD deck by pressing the appropriate Open/Close button 7$2T. Always make certain that there is sufficient room in front of the unit for the disc drawers to open. Note that if either disc drawer is blocked, the drawer will stop at the blocked position and an ERROR message will appear. Once the disc is seated, make certain that it is properly centered within the tray. When using 8 cm (3") single discs, take extra care to make certain that the disc is carefully centered within the smaller ridges in the disc tray. Using The Remote The CDR 25's infrared remote control is designed to operate both CD decks, as well as control the playback programming and record functions. To allow for efficient use of the remote, it's operation is different from standard CD players. Some buttons are dedicated to one specific CD deck, while others are shared between the two decks. No matter which deck is playing, the Play Deck (CDP) and Record Deck (CDR) Display 1U and Open/Close buttons 2T will always send a command to their respective deck. To use any of the transport controls, such as Play 9, Stop N, Pause O or the Search and Skip buttons 58PR, the Numeric Keys F or the Programming Keys 46AQ, first press either the CDP button 3 to command the Play Deck 3 or the CDR button S to command the Record Deck %. When the button is pressed, a message reading CDP or CDR will appear in the appropriate Information Display K to confirm the selection. To switch the remote from controlling one deck to controlling the other, simply press the Select button 3S for the deck you wish to control at any time. Note that features relating to the recording process, such as Speed I and the double row of record-function buttons in the center of the remote BCDEJKLM are dedicated feature buttons that do not require any special selection. Labeled Surface To close the drawer, press the appropriate Open/Close button 7 $2T or gently press on the outside of the front cover of the disc tray. When the drawer is closed the word CLOSE will appear momentarily in the Information Display K, and the letters TOC will begin to flash in the display once the drawer s completely closed. [. . . ] Note that the CD-RW indicator PS will light to remind you that the disc is now ready to have tracks removed or added. Erasing an Entire CD-RW Disc To erase the entire contents of a CD-RW disc it does not matter if the disc has been finalized or not. so that DISC ERASE flashes in the Information Display K and the Record Indicator T lights. Depending on whether or not the disc has been finalized, you may have to press the Erase Button K! [. . . ]
