CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Playback/Locate)

Playback in the PROGRAM PLAY mode

In the PROGRAM PLAY mode, while the Home screen is shown, pressing the [PLAY] key starts playback of the songs in the order of the play list. You can select the play mode which is only effective in the PROGRAM PLAY mode between "ALL PLAY" and "SINGLE PLAY" (see page 59). To make playback possible in the PROGRAM PLAY mode, the play list must be set in advance (see below).

<Home screen of the PROGRAM PLAY mode>

<Hint 1>: By enabling the repeat function, you can repeat playback until you press the [STOP/HOME] key. You can enable or disable the repeat function by pressing the [REPEAT] key or by using the "Repeat" menu item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see page 83).

<Hint 2>: You can select the song from which playback starts in either of the follow- ing methods.

(1)Use the numeric keys in the [MEMORY/ MEMORY SET ] key group and the [CLEAE/+10] key to enter the desired track number (see pages 50 and 68).

(2)Use the [SKIP/CURSOR ] keys (see pages 50 and 69).

(3)Select a desired song on the "FILE SEL" screen (see page 51).

<Note>: If you select a song other than the first step (program number 01) in the play list as the song from which program playback starts, the songs in the play list prior to the selected song are not played back. For example, if you select "05" on the screen above, only songs in program numbers 05 through 15 are played back. Songs in program numbers 01 through 04 are not played back. Regardless of which program number you start from, the recorder stops at the end of the last song when finishing playback of the last song.

By default, the "Auto Play" menu item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is set to "On", so if you select a song by using a key in the [MEMORY/ ] key group, the recorder automatically starts playback of the selected song.

<Notes>

The following are notes on using method (1) above for selecting a song,

•If you attempt to select a non-existing track number, "Illegal No. xx" (xx is the number you select) is shown and the operation is cancelled.

•If the same song is used in the play list more than once, selecting the song selects the one assigned to the youngest program number in the list. For example, let's assume that the play list has following five entries in program number order: 02, 05, 08, 02, and 07. If you press the [2/ABC] key in the [MEMORY/ MEMORY SET ] key group, 02 of program number 1 is selected. Therefore, to select 02 of program number 4, use method (2) or (3).

<Note>: You can store the play lists for 100 discs to the CR500 system memory. If you attempt to store a play list for a new disc when play lists for 100 discs are already stored, the CR500 deletes the oldest play list and stores the new play list. However, if you reload a disc whose play list has been deleted as in the case above, its play list is automatically stored as the newest list.

<Note>: By executing the "Sys Initial Memory" item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode, all play lists are reset (see page 80).

CR500 specifications

The Fostex CR500 is a remarkable addition to the world of professional audio monitoring, offering an impressive blend of technology and user-friendly design. This studio monitor is engineered to deliver high-quality sound reproduction, making it an ideal choice for musicians, audio engineers, and home studio enthusiasts alike.

At the heart of the CR500 is its sophisticated driver technology. Featuring a 5-inch woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, the monitor delivers a well-balanced sound with clarity and depth. The woofer is designed to handle low frequencies with precision, providing deep bass response, while the tweeter ensures that high frequencies are reproduced smoothly, eliminating harshness and fatigue during long mixing sessions.

One of the standout features of the CR500 is its bi-amp system, which allows the woofer and tweeter to be powered separately. This amplification method minimizes distortion and enhances overall sound quality, allowing each driver to perform optimally. Additionally, the rear-firing bass port contributes to an extended low-frequency response, giving users a more immersive listening experience.

The CR500 is equipped with a range of control options, including a volume knob, high-frequency and low-frequency control, and a switch for adjusting the speaker's position in the room. This level of customization is crucial for achieving an accurate mix, as it allows users to tailor the sound to their specific environment.

In terms of connectivity, the Fostex CR500 comes with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of audio interfaces and mixing consoles. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for both professional studios and home setups.

Build quality is another key aspect of the CR500. The cabinet is constructed from high-density MDF, which helps minimize cabinet resonance and unwanted vibrations. The sleek finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its durability.

Overall, the Fostex CR500 studio monitor stands out for its exceptional sound quality, robust build, and user-friendly features. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio production experience, whether for music production, mixing, or mastering. With its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design, the CR500 is a reliable tool for achieving accurate and dynamic sound reproduction in any studio setting.
