Important Note: Since the CDR 26 is a dual-deck player/recorder, there are two separate sets of indicators for the Random, Program, Repeat, Repeat Status, Time, Total Time, Remaining 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 26 is playing or recording a disc, any indicators that light on the left side of the display describe 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.

ACoaxial Digital Indicator: This indicator lights when a digital source is being recorded. See page 20 for more information on source selection.

BOptical Digital Indicator: This indicator lights when a digital source connected to one of the optical inputs is being recorded. See page 20 for more infor- mation on source selection.

CAnalog Indicator: This indicator lights when an analog source is being recorded. See page 20 for more information on source selection.

DFront-Panel Input Indicator: This indicator lights in conjunction with the Coaxial Digital Indicator A or the Optical Digital Indicator B when either the front-panel coaxial or optical input has been selected. See page 20 for more information on selecting an external source.
