Important Note: Since the CDR 2 is a dual-deck player/recorder, there are two separate sets of indicators for the Random, Program, Repeat, Repeat Status, Time, Total Time and Track Time. In addition, there is a separate Information Display, Play/Pause Indicator and CD Indicator for each deck. As the function of these indicators is identical for both decks, they are described in this manual with a common letter. When the CDR 2 is playing or recording a disc, any indicators that light on the left side of the display describe to the status of the Play Deck, while those that light on the right side of the display describe the status of the Record Deck. Depending on the activity of the unit and the settings you select, different indicators may light on the two sides at the same time.

ARandom Indicators: These indicators light when random playback has been programmed for one of the CD decks. See page 16 for more information on random play.

BProgram Indicators: These indicators light when one of the CD decks is being pro- grammed for playback options. See page 16 for more information on programmed play.

CLevel Indicators: These LEDs display the input level during an analog recording, and the output level during playback. See page 21 for more information on record levels.

DRepeat Indicator: This indicator lights when a repeat function is being used. See page 18 for more information on repeat play.

ERepeat-Status Indicator: These indica- tors display the type of repeat function being used. See page 18 for more information on repeat status.

FSpeed Indicators: These indicators show which record speed has been selected for dub recordings. See page 20 for more information on record-speed selection.

GCopy-Prohibit Indicator: This indicator lights when a recording is not possible

due to the intervention of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). See page 20 for more information on SCMS.

HDubbing Indicator: This indicator lights when a dub is in progress between the two CD

Decks. See page 20 for more information on CD dubbing.

ISync Indicator: This indicator lights when the unit has been programmed for a CD Sync recording. See page 21 for more information on CD Sync recordings.

JDual Play Indicator: The indicator lights when the unit is playing in the Dual mode, which allows both CD Decks to act as playback decks at the same time. See page 17 for more information on the dual-play mode.

KInformation Display: This display serves two functions, showing the time displays for discs playing, as well as displaying messages about discs or recordings.
