FEATURES
This unit can be used to record CD-R (CD recordable) discs or CD-RW (CD rewritable) discs.
Once recorded, a CD-R disc cannot be erased. However, a recorded CD-RW disc can be erased later.
Both CD-R and CD-RW discs provide the high sound quality and excellent durability that is the hall mark of ordinary prerecorded CDs (compact discs).
●Playback of CD-R, CD-RW and CD discs
This recorder can be used to play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs, finalized CD-R or CD-RW discs and ordinary prerecorded CD discs.
●Creation of CD-compatible discs
A CD-R disc can be played on any CD player just like ordinary prerecorded CD discs provided it has been finalized (by recording TOC) after recording.
CD-RW discs can only be played back on a player specially designed to handle CD-RW discs.
●Sampling frequency converter
When recording a digital source using 32 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency such as satellite broadcasting, DAT and DCC, this unit automatically converts the sampling frequency into 44.1 kHz which is the sampling frequency used with the CD. However, the digital monitoring signal which is output during recording with this unit is based on the same sampling frequency as the recorded source.
●Digital-source synchro recording modes
When recording digital signals from a CD, DAT, MD or DCC, the recording on this unit can be started and stopped in synchronism with the starting and stopping of the playback of the source component.
A mode for synchro recording of a single track from the above-mentioned sources is available so that edited recording is easy.
●Build-in Multi-Level
(Delta-Sigma) DAC
The multi-level Digital-Analog Converter achieves superior resolution compared to the conventional Delta-Sigma DAC, thus producing high conversion accuracy even when jitter is present in the system clock.
●1-bit A/D converter
The A/D converter (analog-to-digital converter) of this unit uses the latest 1-bit conversion system. This system provides the following advantages compared to previous systems.
•Zero-cross distortion does not occur from the principle.
•Non-linear distortion does not occur throughout the frequency band.
•High accuracy is possible without adjustment.
These advantages preserve the original quality of the music including low-level signals.
●Newly-developed 3-beam differential push-pull pickup
The newly developed 3-beam pickup with differential push-pull system stabilizes operations and reproduces rich medium and low frequencies.
●Direct construction with minimized signal path and separated digital and audio
The direct construction reduces cross-interference between signals by achieving a correct signal transfer. It reproduces musical signals with high purity by thoroughly improving the distortion, channel separation and level linearity values. These improvements are not in terms of values at a single point but applied over a wide frequency range.
●Features Copy Bit
CD-R and CD-RW discs can be made by selecting one of the following three modes:
•Disc without copy prohibition ( Copy Bit = 1 )
•One-time-copy disc ( Copy Bit = 0 )
•Copy prohibited disc ( Copy Bit = 1/0 )
●Complies to standard EIA rack
The mounting holes on both left and right ends of the front panel comply to 19 inch EIA standard racks. Use standard 3/16” diameter, 3/8” long screws sold in hardware stores for installation.
