Checking what’s in the boxMake sure that you’ve received the followingsupplied accessories with your CDR-830 CDRecorder:

• Also included in the box is your Registrationcard , this instruction manual, the HHBBurnIT brochure, and the HHB BurnIT Quickreference guide.

Using this manualThis manual is for the CDR-830 CD Recorder. Itis split into two sections: the first shows how toset up the CD recorder; the second takes youthrough each stage of operation. Set up, whichstarts here, shows you how to get your new CDrecorder up and running with the rest of youraudio equipment.

In the second section of the manual, starting onpage16, you’ll learn how to use the variousfeatures of the recorder.The final part of the manual provides referenceinformation on display messages you mightencounter during use, a troubleshootingsection, and technical specifications.

Features of the CDR-830 BurnIT CD recorderCreate your own audio CDsThe HHB BurnIT offers a high-quality and affordable way to burn your own audio CDs. Create originalrecordings, or assemble professional compilations from existing source material.

The CD text feature of the CDR-830 allows you put text information on your recordings to easily identifyand select from the contents.

Make digital recordings from any sourceThe CDR-830 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it toalmost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter, you canmake direct digital recordings from many different sources such as DAT (32kHz up to 48kHz), as well asCD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only)enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs too. Analog sources are also catered for with theanalog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard unbalanced line level connections.

Use both ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable CDsOrdinary recordable CDs (CD-R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discsand the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for manyapplications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD-RW, is a more recent type of recordable CD that allowserasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use thediscs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD-R**.

* While most CD players should have no problems withCD-R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), theplayer may not be able to read some CD-R discs.

**At the time of writing, meny ordinary CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. Check in the instructionsthat came with the player for compatibility.

Care and maintenanceCleaning external surfacesBefore cleaning turn off and disconnect the unitfrom the power outlet. To clean, wipe with a soft,dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth witha mild detergent solution made by diluting onepart detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well,then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipethe surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids suchas benzene or thinners which may damage thesurfaces.

Moving the unitIf you need to move the unit, first switch it off andunplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or movethe unit during playback or recording—the discrotates at a high speed and may be damaged.

Storing optical cableWhen storing optical cable, coilloosly as shown at right. Thecable may be damaged if bentaround sharp corners.

Putting the batteries in the remote control

• Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off.

• Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with themarkings inside the compartment.

• Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.

Caution!Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:

• Don’t mix new and old batteries together• Don’t use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar, different batteries may

have different voltages.• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery

compartment.• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental

public institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.

Wipe lightly from thecenter of the discusing straightstrokes.

Don’t wipe the discsurface usingcircular strokes.

Avoiding condensation problemsCondensation may form inside the player if it isbrought into a warm room from a coldenvironment, or if the temperature of the roomrises quickly. Although the condensation won’tdamage the player, it may temporarily impair itsperformance. For this reason you should leave itto adjust to the warmer temperature for aboutan hour before switching on and using.

Handling discsWhen holding CDs of any type, take care not toleave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the discsurface. Hold the disc by its edge or by thecenter hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discscan affect playback and/or recording perfor-mance. Take care also not to scratch the labelside of the disc. Although not as fragile as therecording side, scratches can still result in adisc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wipingthe disc lightly from the center to the outsideedge. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol,or a commercially available CD cleaning kit toclean a disc more thoroughly. Never usebenzene, thinners or other cleaning agents,including products designed for cleaning vinylrecords.

1 Before you start

About CD, CD-R andCD-RW discsThe CDR-830 is compatible with four types ofcompact disc:

Playback-only CDsThis unit will playback any ordinaryaudio CDs carrying the Compact DiscDigital Audio mark shown right.

CD-Recordable discsRecordable CDs, or CD-R, carry themark shown right, and are 'writeonce'. This means that havingrecorded something on the disc it ispermanent—it can't be re-recordedor erased.

CD-Rewritable discsRewritable CDs, or CD-RW, carrythe mark shown right. As the nameindicates, you can erase and re-record material on these discs sothat they can be used over andover again.

CD TEXT discs

Your HHB CDR-830 Professional CD Recorder isdesigned to operate with a broad range of CD-Ror CD-RW media. However, for consistently highquality results and superior archiving stability, werecommend that you ask your dealer for thesecommercially available CD-R or CD-RW discsfrom HHB.

2 Connecting up

When connecting optical leads, take care not tobend the cable around sharp corners as this candamage the cable. Likewise, when storing opticalcable, coil loosely (as shown on page 7).

If you’re using one of the coaxial-type digitalconnectors you’ll need a lead with an RCA/phono plug at each end. Please only use digitalaudio cables, not normal audio interconnects.

Using the digital inputsTo make direct digital recordings on the CDR–830 you’ll need to connect the digital output of asource (like a CD, MD, or DAT player) to one ofthe digital inputs on this unit. To makerecordings from analog sources (like an analogtape deck) connect the outputs of your analogsource to the line inputs of the CDR–830—seethe following page for more detail.

Using the digital outputsIf you have another digital recorder, such as aMD or DAT recorder, you might want to use theCDR–830 as a digital source. In this case,connect one of the digital outputs of the CDR–830 to a similar digital input on your other digitalrecorder.

Digital playback component(Digital console CD, MD, DAT player, etc.)

Digital recording component(CD-R, MD, DAT recorder,etc.)

Please ensure that if you are using the coaxialdigital connections that 75 ohm video type cableis used.

Connecting up for digitalplayback & recordingThe diagrams on these pages show possibleconnections with various other components inyour system. Before you start connecting yoursystem, make sure that all the components areswitched off and disconnected from the walloutlet.

About optical and coaxial jacksThe CDR–830 has both optical and coaxial jacksfor both digital input and output. There’s no needto connect both, but since some equipment hasonly one type of connector—and you can onlyconnect like with like—having both types on thisunit can be an advantage.

To use the optical jack, you’ll need an optical cable.These are readily available at audio dealers. Whenbuying, check that the cable is no longer than 3m.

Pull out the dust cap and store itin a safe place for future use.Check that both optical plug andsocket are free from dust—ifnecessary, clean with a soft, drycloth. The optical lead will only goin one way, so match up the jackand the plug before inserting fully.

Introduction toCD recordingThe CDR-830 is designed to letyou make extremely high qualitydigital recordings onto recordablecompact discs. For flexibility, youcan use either rewritable discs(CD-RW) or write-once discs (CD-R). For more general informationon the discs you can and can’tuse with this recorder, see AboutCD, CD-R and CD-RW Discs onpage 8. The following overviewgives you some idea of what theCDR-830 is capable of, and alsoprovides guidance on what toavoid and things to be careful ofwhen recording. We stronglyrecommend that you read thesepages fully before proceeding tothe more detailed instructions onthe following pages.

Digital recordingrestrictionsThis unit has been designedexclusively for recording andplayback of audio discs—you can’trecord other CD formats, suchas computer CD-ROMs or DolbyDigital (AC-3).

If you record from a disc formatsuch as CD+graphics, Video-CD,or other format that includesboth digital audio and video ortext, you will only be able torecord the audio part of the disc.

In addition to standard audio CDs,this recorder will record DTSencoded audio CDs and HDCDformat CDs (in this case, therecording level must be set to0dB).

Almost all commercial digitalsource material is protected bycopyright laws, and many CDsuse copy control flags to limitdigital recording of a source toone generation only. However, asthe CDR-830 is a professionalrecorder, the status of the sourcecopy control flags is ignored, andthe status of the flag written todisc is adjustable.

This facility is only for professionaluse and must never be used toenable infringement of copyright.

4 Getting Started

18

Recording modesThe recorder is equipped with a set of analoginput terminals, as well as both optical andcoaxial digital inputs. This means that the CDR-830 is compatible with almost all audiosources—analog or digital. It even has a built insampling rate converter making it ideal forrecording from 48kHz DAT or other digitalsource, which might be at a sampling ratedifferent to that of CD. Since CDs are alwaysrecorded at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, samplerate conversion is completely automatic—if therecorder senses a digital signal at either 32 or48kHz, it will convert it to 44.1kHz. Note thatthis recorder can't convert 96kHz digital sources(such as some DAT tapes and DVD discs).

Miscellaneous information• The minimum recordable time is four

seconds.

• Usually, track numbers are recorded onto thedisc automatically when recording. If youdecide to switch off this feature (for example,when you’re recording from a digitalbroadcast), be sure to input track markers asrecording is taking place—you can’t add themafter recording is complete. See page 33 formore on manual and automatic track number-ing.

• The maximum number of tracks on a disc is99.

Digital recording from DATIf you’re recording a DAT tape that was recordedusing the DAT machine's auto ID function, theIDs on the tape may be slightly after thebeginning of the actual recording. This can causeproblems for the CD recorder:

• The start of the track may not be recorded.

• The track number will be recorded on the discafter the start of the track.

• The beginning of the next track on the DAT isunintentionally recorded.

To avoid these problems, we recommendrecording start IDs on the DAT manually, ifpossible. If this is not possible, or if there are nostart IDs on the DAT, we recommend usingmanual track numbering while recording to CDto ensure that new tracks are starting in theright places. Refer to the instructions for yourDAT recorder for more information.

You might also encounter problems if you try tosynchro-record all tracks from a DAT that is setto program play. If you want to record a DAT inprogram play mode, use the 1-track synchrorecording mode—see page 19 for how to dothis.

Digital signal interruptionsSources of signal interruption include power orsource component failure, accidentaldisconnection of the interconnect cord, andinterruption of digital broadcasts. In all thesecases, if the signal resumes within about fiveseconds, the result will just be a blank section onthe disc. If the interruption is longer than fiveseconds, the recorder displays the errormessage: DIN UNLOCK and recording is paused.

Power interruptionsNever switch off the CDR-830 while it'srecording, or while the display shows PMA REC(Program Memory Area Recording). If there's apower failure, or you accidently disconnect thepower from the wall outlet while recording is inprocess, you may lose at least part of therecording.

After recording, always remove the disc fromthe recorder before switching the power off.Failure to do this could result in you losing someof the recorded material on the disc.

4 Getting Started

Recording onetrack from asourceIf you want to record just a singletrack, or a few selected tracks,from a digital (CD, MD, DCC orDAT) or an analog source, therecorder can start and stopautomatically. With digitalrecording, there's no need toworry about recording levels—you'll get a perfect digital copy ofthe original (if you want to changethe digital recording level, seepage 23).

If you are recording from a noisyanalog source, such as an oldrecording, or from a source withlong quiet sections, the recordermay not recognize the end of thetrack. In this case, werecommend using manualrecording (see page 22).

1 Load a CD-R or CD-RWdisc.Check the display to make surethat there's enough space on thedisc for what you want to record.

2 Press INPUT SELECTOR tochoose an input.Pressing INPUT SELECTORrepeatedly switches the activeinput:

Recording alltracks from asourceIf you want to copy all the tracksfrom a source, use this mode. Likethe 1-track synchro recordingmode, the recorder starts andstops automatically. Whenrecording from MD or CD, you canplay the source in either normalplay mode, or program play if you’dlike the recorded tracks in adifferent order to the original. Wedo not recommend recording froma DAT in program play mode—usethe 1-track synchro recordingmode if you want to record thetracks in a different order.

If you are recording from a noisyanalog source, such as an oldrecording, or from a source withlong quiet sections, the recordermay not recognize the end oftracks. In this case, you can still usethis mode, but it may be better touse manual track numbering (seepage 33).

Automaticallyrecording andfinalizing a discThis is a variation on all-tracksynchro recording on the previouspage. After all tracks on thesource material have beenrecorded, the recorderautomatically finalizes the disc.

Note: Any interruptions in thedigital input source signal maycause the recorder to enterrecord pause, which may inhibitthe finalization of the disc.



Analog - Optical - CoaxialThe display indicates the currentinput.

3 Make sure that the sourceis not playing, then pressSYNCHRO three times.Press SYNCHRO repeatedly tochange the recording mode andselect SYNC-FINAL

Synchro recording won't work ifthe source is already playing!

The recorder goes into all-syncrecord pause and the SYNC andFINALIZE indicators start to blink.

All-track sync



SYNC–FINAL SYNC

CD-RFINALIZE

The display shows all-track syncwith finalization, with the SYNCand FINALIZE indicators blinking toshow that recording can start.

Note: Please ensure that thereare no long pauses in the sourcematerial, as this might cause therecorder to start the finalizationprocess.

4 Play the source.Recording starts automatically.If you press SYNCHRO duringrecording, the recorder will finishrecording without finalizing theCD-R.

5 After recording all trackson the source, the recorderstarts finalizing the disc.After the recorder encountersabout five seconds of continuoussilence, it assumes the end of thesource has been reached andgoes into all-sync record-pause.Be careful: If the recorderdetects another signal or start ID(DAT or DCC) it will startrecording again!

If the recorder detects no signalfor one minute, finalization starts(no more recording is possibleafter this so make sure that therearen’t any spaces of more thanone minute during the sourceyou’re recording). SeeAutomatically numbering trackson page 33 to set the silencethreshold.

Finalization takes about twominutes, during which time noneof the buttons are operative.

Never turn the power off duringfinalization!

• If a digital signal is interrupted,the recorder continuesrecording. However, if nosignal has been detectedwithin five seconds, therecorder pauses recording andwill not finalize the disc—seeDigital signal interruptions onpage 18.

• If the recorder reaches theend of the disc, the recorderbegins finalization.

Note: If you find that synchrorecording does not seem to work,see the troubleshooting sectionon pages 40–42 for possibleremedies.

ManualrecordingUse the manual recordingmethod with a source wheresyncho recording is not suitable.For example, if you are recordingfrom a digital source that doesnot have ID flags, synchrorecording is not possible sincethere are no track numbers orstart IDs to signal the start andend points of the recording.Manual recording is also usefulwith a noisy analog source, suchas an old recording, or from asource with long quiet sections,where the recorder may notrecognize the end of tracks.

1 Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc.Check the display to make surethat there's enough space on thedisc for what you want to record.

4 Getting started

Setting thedigital recordinglevelOne of the advantages of digital-to-digital recording is that youdon't have to set recordinglevels—and risk distortion byoverloading the disc. With pre-recorded material, the digital levelhas usually been optimized andyou shouldn't need to change it. Ifyou're making a digital copy of aCD, DAT or MD that was notoptimally produced and that wasconsistently under-recorded, youcan boost the overall level by upto +20dB. Remember though,that any peaks in the originalrecording run the risk ofdistorting the copy.

In many other digital recordingapplications, you may also havecause to boost the recordingvolume since the volume of somedigital sources can be relativelylow, but again, if there are anypeaks in the source material, yourun the risk of momentarydistortion.

It's also possible to reduce thedigital recording volume, but inmost cases, this is not desirable.However, if you're puttingtogether a mix CD (various trackscompiled from different sources),and there is a track which standsout as generally louder than theothers, then you might want toreduce the level of that track.Note that this feature will notremove distortion already on thesource material.

Once changed, the new digitalrecording level remains until youchange it again, or reset it. Eachdigital input has its own levelwhich can be set independently.

Note: If you are recording DTSencoded audio CDs or HDCDformat CDs, the digital recordinglevel must be set to 0.0dB forrecording.

Setting theanalogrecording levelCompared to analog tape, thedistortion that you get fromoverloading a CD is much lesstolerable, and something you’lldefinitely want to avoid.

What you want to aim for is alevel where the loudest soundfrom your source material isrecorded onto the CD at a leveljust below the point where itoverloads (where it produces anunpleasant, buzzy distortion).

1 Press INPUT SELECTOR tochoose the analog input.Pressing INPUT SELECTORrepeatedly switches the activeinput:

4 Adjust the recording levelusing the ANALOG RECLEVEL control.

Don’t let the recording level toreach the red OVER indicator!

The maximum recording levelshould be in this area.

When you’re happy with therecording level, stop the source.

The display shows how longfinalization will take—the exacttime taken depends on the disc.

Press 7 here to cancelfinalization.

3 Press 88888 (66666 on the frontpanel) to start finalization.Finalization takes about twominutes; you'll see how long thereis remaining in the display. Theplayer stops when finished.

For a CD-R, the CD-R indicatornow changes to simply CD.

For a CD-RW, the finalizeindicator lights in the display.

None of the controls on theplayer or the remote have anyeffect during finalization. If,however, the recorder hasn'tmanaged to finalize the discwithin 10 minutes, you can abortthe operation by pressing 7. Ifyou do this, the disc won't beplayable on an ordinary CD player.

Finalizing a discBefore you can play a CD-R on anordinary CD player, the disc mustgo through a process calledfinalization. Once finalized, a CD-Rdisc is no longer recordable, norwill you be able to set or clearskip IDs. Finalization is notreversible for CD-Rs so beabsolutely sure that everything onthe disc is the way you want itbefore you start.

CD-RW discs can also befinalized, although you can stillerase the disc afterwards andreuse it, so it's not anything likeas final as it is with a CD-R disc.A finalized CD-RW disc can onlybe played on a CD player that iscompatible with CD-RW discs(currently only recent players).

Caution!Finalization takes a couple ofminutes. During this time neverswitch off the power to the unit—the disc may become unusable asa result.

1 Load the CD-R or CD-RWyou want to finalize.Check that the disc is free fromdust, dirt and scratches—ifnecessary, clean the disc,following the guidelines on page 7.

Each titlecan be up to 120 characterslong, including spaces. You canstore all the text (up to 2000characters) for up to three non-finalized discs in the recorder atone time. This is useful when youwant to edit the text duringanother recording session withthe same disc.

Be careful: When you set text fora fourth disc, the oldest textinformation (for the first disc) isdeleted from memory. Text withCD-RW discs is deleted when youerase the corresponding track.

Once you finalize a CD-R, the textinformation cannot be changed.Finalized CD-Rs containing CD textcan still be played on ordinary(non-CD text compatible) CDplayers, however the CD text willnot appear in the display.

AutomaticallynumberingtracksIf you're recording from CD, MD,DCC or DAT, you can usually letthe recorder number the tracksautomatically as they change onthe source material. Whenrecording other digital or analogsources, the recorder will start anew track if it detects more than2 seconds of silence. However ifyou’re recording noisy sourcematerial or a classical recordingwith long quiet sections, therecorder may not alwaysregognize the gap betweentracks. For this reason you canadjust the level of sound that therecorder regards as ‘silence’.

Each input (analog, coaxial andoptical) has its own thresholdlevel, which can be setindependently.

Note: The minimum analogthreshold level is -66dB.

2 Turn the jog dial until A.LVLappears in the display, thenpress to ENTER.The display shows the current‘silence’ threshold for automatictrack numbering. The default is -54dB.

3 Turn the jog dial (44444 and¢¢¢¢¢ on the remote) tochange the threshold level.Turning the dial cycles throughthe following levels:

-78dB to -66dB – Use theselevels if you find the recorder isputting in new track numbersduring very quiet sections ofclassical music, for example.

-60dB to -48dB – A ‘mid’ levelsuitable for most recordings.

-42dB to -24dB – If you find thatthe recorder is not putting in newtrack numbers because theoriginal source is too noisy.

4 Press the jog dial (ENTER)to confirm the new level.If the AUTO TRK indicator is not lit,press AUTO/MANUAL to switch iton. To check that tracks willstart at the correct points on therecording, see Monitoring asource on page 36.

ManuallynumberingtracksAlthough automatic tracknumbering is the default mode ofthe recorder, you can numbertracks manually as recording istaking place. In some cases—such as recording from digitalmixer, or from an analogsource—auto track numberingmay not work reliably (in thesecases, a new track is startedafter the recorder detects twoseconds of silence), and it'sbetter to use manual tracknumbering.

Remember: It is not possible toedit track numbers afterrecording.

1 Make sure automatic tracknumbering is switched OFF.If the AUTO TRK indicator is lit,press AUTO/MANUAL to switch itoff.

2 Start recording.You can use manual numbering inany record mode, but it is bestsuited to manual digital-input oranalog-input recording (see page18 for more on these recordingmodes).

3 Press RECORD ¶¶¶¶¶ at anypoint you want a new trackto start.CD tracks must be at least fourseconds long—the recorder won’tlet you start a new track lessthan four seconds into thecurrent track.

Starting tracksin timeincrementsIf you aren't able to set tracknumbers automatically duringrecording (a long interview, forexample), you might want to havethe recorder start tracks afterevery three minutes or so. Thiswill make it easier to listen backto sections of the recording at alater date. You can set the timeto one, three, or five minutes.

Note: The time increment willdefault to OFF when: recording isstopped; auto track numbering isturned off; power is turned off.

Recording fadeins and fade outsSometimes, for example if you'rerecording just an excerpt fromsomething, it may be better tofade in the recording, then fadeout again at the end, rather thanstart and end abruptly. You canalso set longer or shorter fadetimes so that they match thefades on other songs in your mix.Note that you can’t record a fadein when in synchro recordingmode (although you can record afade out).

Erasing a CD-RW discAlthough more expensive thanCD-R discs, the great advantageof CD-RW is that the discs can beerased and reused. Various eraseoptions are available dependingon whether the disc has beenfinalized.

A third, special option, erases (re-initializes) the whole disc. Thisprocess takes quite a long time tocomplete and should be used forrecovering damaged discs, notfor erasing tracks from a healthydisc.

Caution!Never switch off the power duringCD-RW erasing - your disc maybecome unusable.

If the message CHECK DISCappears any time during anyerase process, press 0, take outthe disc, clean it, then try theerase command again.

Be sure to remove the disc fromthe recorder before switching offthe power, otherwise the eraseoperation will not be completed.

TroubleshootingBelow is a list of messages mainly related to playback and recording problems, together with a briefexplanation and a page reference where you can find more information:

Display messages relating to playback

Display Cause Remedy

NEWDISC

A blank disc is loaded. Only recording is possible on blank CD-Ror CD-RW discs. Playback is notpossible.

NO DISC An attempt is made to start playback withoutloading a disc.

Open the tray and check that a disc isloaded.


CHECKDISC

The disc is damagedor dirty.

The disc is loadedupside down.

Take out the disc and check for dust, dirt, scratches, etc. Cleanas necessary.

Take out the disc and reload it label-side up. If the samemessage is displayed again after the disc is reloaded, turn theCDR-830 power switch off, and after a few seconds on again. Ifthe same message is still displayed, please contact a HHBauthorized service center.

CHECK(blinkingdisplay)

A system erroroccurred, perhapsdue to noise or staticelectricity.

Turn the CDR-830 power switch off, and after a few secondson again. If the same message is displayed again, pleasecontact a HHB authorized service center.

41

7 Additional informationDisplay messages relating to recordingNote: In the table below, ** indicates a track number.

If digital synchro-recording fails to operate correctly, check thefollowing:1. Pause playback of the source, then press the DIGITAL SYNCHRO button again.

• If you’re recording from a portable CD player, etc., make sure that the shock-protection feature isswitched off.

2. Start playback of the source component once you see the SYNCHRO indicator start to blink.

3. If none of the above solves the problem, use manual digital recording to record.

• Digital synchro-recording uses a digital sub-signal contained in the source player’s digital output.Digital synchro-recording will not work when recording from the following devices:

• CD players whose digital output does not include a sub-signal

• Portable CD, MD or DVD players which do not output a digital signal when stopped.


Can'tSYNC

This appears when theSYNCHRO button is pressedwhen the input selector is setto a digital input, and thesource selected is notrecognized as CD, MD, DCC,or DAT.

Record the source manually, or record through theanalog input.

DINUNLOCK

The digital source wasinterrupted.

The source is not audio, or isan incompatible format (e.g.a CD-ROM).

Check that the digital input cable is connected properlyand that the power of the source player is on.

Check that the source is a regular music source.

CHECKINPUT?

The source player wasalready playing when theSYNCHRO button waspressed.

Stop the source player. After a short time, SYNC–1 orSYNC–ALL is displayed, and the recorder goes intosynchro–record-pause mode.

******** SET UP The unit is preparing torecord.

Wait until the message disappears.

REPAIR The recorder was switchedoff/unplugged afterrecording without ejectingthe disc. The recorder couldnot write essential recordinginformation onto the disc.

While REPAIR is displayed, the recorder automaticallyexamines the recorded area of the disc and updates thetrack numbers and recording time data. This processtakes about 40 minutes for a fully recorded disc.Finalization or further recording is possible once theREPAIR message disappears.

REC FULL No more recording ispossible because theavailable recording time ofthe disc has been used up, or99 tracks have already beenrecorded on the disc.

Use another disc, or erase the CD-RW disc.

42

7 Additional informationIt’s often easy to mistake incorrect operation for trouble and malfunction of the unit. If you think there issomething wrong with the component, check the points below first. If the problem persists, contact younearest HHB authorized service center and have them check over the unit.

Symptom Cause Remedy

Power cannot beturned on.

The power cord is unplugged from the walloutlet.

The power plug is not firmly connected tothe recorder.

Plug the power cord into apower outlet.

Make sure that the power plug isfully inserted in the recorder.

No sound is heardduring playback.

The recorder is not connected up properly. Check all connections, especiallyto the amplifier (p.10–11).

Cannot record. The recorder is not connected up properly.The CD-R or CD-RW disc in use has alreadybeen finalized.The input selection is incorrect.

The REC LEVEL control is set too low.

Check all connections (p.10–11)Use a non-finalized disc or erasethe CD-RW disc (p.38).Select the input for the correctinput source to the recorder.Increase the recording level(p.23–24).

Recorded sound isdistorted.

The REC LEVEL control is set too high.

Signal connections are incorrect.There is interference from externalsources.

The disc is damaged or warped.The disc is extremely dirty.

Reduce the recording level (p.23–24).

Check all connections (p.10–11)Turn the power off to other unitsnear the recorder until there is nointerference.Use another disc.Clean the disc.

Remote controloperation isimpossible.

The remote control batteries areexhausted.

There is an obstacle between the remotecontrol unit and main unit.The remote control unit is being operatedoutside the remote controllable range.

Replace both of the remotecontrol batteries with new ones.

Remove the obstacle.

Operate in the remotecontrollable range (p.9).

Some tracks areskipped withoutbeing played.

The SKIP PLAY button is set to on. Set the SKIP PLAY button to off(p.28).

Skip playback doesnot occur.

The SKIP PLAY button is set to off. Set the SKIP PLAY button to on(p.28).

The recorder doesnot recognize theend of tracksduring syncrecording.

The level that the recorder regards as‘silence’ is set either too low, or too high.

Set the silence threshold to asuitable level for automaticallynumbering tracks (p.33).

A recorded CD-Rdisc cannot beplayed on other CDplayers.

The disc has not been finalized afterrecording. When such a disc is loaded, theCD-R indicator lights up.The pickup lens of the other CD player isdirty, impairing its ability to play CD-R discs.

Finalize the disc (p.26).

Try the disc on a different CDplayer. If it plays OK then get thepickup lens on the original playercleaned.
