The CDR 20 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 20 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. [. . . ] 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 20'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 467AH, 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 and the Single/Dual buttons 6Q 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. If the disc is a standard CD or a finalized CD-R or CD-RW disc, TOC will flash while the unit reads the disc's Table of Contents information. Once that data is read, the Information Display K will show the total number of tracks and the total time of all tracks on the disc. The CD Indicator S will also light to indicate that a standard CD is in use. When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc is placed in the Record Deck %, the letters OPC will flash once the Table of Contents has been read. This indicates that the unit is optimizing its circuits for maximum compatibility with the specific recordable disc in use. the number and total running time of any tracks that have already been recorded will appear in the Information Display K, and the appropriate indicator SP will light to tell you if a CD-R or CD-RW disc is in use. If a computer data disc is placed in the CDR 20, a DATA DISC or DISC ERROR message will appear, depending on if the data disc is finalized or not. Data discs will not play, and may not be recorded or dubbed on the CDR 20. PLAYBACK BASICS 15 Playback Basics Normal Play To play a disc, first make certain that the unit is properly installed and that the Main Power Switch 1 is turned on.
