Creating an audio CD using an external CD-R/RW drive

You can create an audio CD using an external CD-R/RW drive. Connect an external CD-R/ RW drive to the [USB HOST] port on the rear panel of the MR-8HD/CD using a USB cable as show below (a USB cable is not supplied with the MR-8HD/CD).

Important! CD-R/RW drives which can be connected to the MR-8HD/CD

You can connect the MR-8HD/CD [USB HOST] port to any CD-R/RW drive which has a [USB] port and can be powered by AC main or batteries. The MR-8HD/CD does not provide USB bus power facility (which allows supplying power to an external device from the unit), therefore, you cannot connect a CD-R/RW drive which only can be powered by USB connection.

Also note that the models which can be used with the MR-8HD/CD may change. Check the update information of the currently available CD-R/RW drives from Fostex website (http:// www.fostex.com) before purchasing a drive unit.

About "Track at once" and "Disk at once"

The MR-8HD/CD provides two burning modes for creating an audio CD in the CD-DA format.

"Track at once"

The unit burns a stereo WAV file to a CD-R/RW disc as a track. You can burn an additional track at a later time until the disc is finalized. Each time you burn a file, a TOC is created. Approximately two-second silence is automatically inserted between tracks.

"Disk at once"

The unit burns a stereo WAV file and automatically finalizes the disc. You cannot burn an additional data. As described earlier in "2 MIX file playback mode", when one or more CUE points are set to the stereo WAV file, file data is divided into tracks at the CUE points.

In this mode, no mute space is created between tracks. (Note that if the stereo WAV file does not have any CUE point, it is burned as a single track.)

In the procedure described below, it is assumed that the following preparations are made.

•Both the MR-8HD/CD and the CD-R/RW drive are powered, while a CD-R/RW disc is set to the CD-R/ RW drive .

•The song which has the stereo WAV file to be burned is loaded.
