Important Note: Since the CDR 30 is a dual-deck player/recorder, there are two separate sets of indicators for the Random, Program, Repeat, Repeat Status, Time, Total Time, Track Time. Play/Pause Indicator and CD Indicators 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 30 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.

ARandom Indicators: These indicators light when random playback has been programmed for one of the decks. See page 19 for more information on random play.

BRepeat Mode Indicators: These indica- tors display the type of repeat function being used. See page 19 for more information on repeat status.

CProgram Indicators: These indicators light when one of the decks is being programmed for playback options. See page 19 for more information on programmed play.

DSingle/Dual Play Indicators: One of

these indicators will light to indicate the unit’s playback mode, as selected with the Dual/Single Play Select Buttons ügx. When the Dual indicator lights, both decks will play simultaneously to through their respective analog or digital outputs. When the SINGLE indicator is lit, only one deck may play at a time, but the unit will automatically switch from one side to the other when a deck is finished playing.

ECDP/CDR Deck Indicator: These indica- tors show if the Level Indicators G are showing the output of the record (CDR) or play (CDP) deck.

FTime/Message Display: This display

shows the play or record time for either deck, as noted by the various time and mode indica- tors STUVW. It also displays the CD Text or MP3 information from a disc and displays various information, status and error messages.

GLevel Indicators: These LEDs display the input level during a recording, and the output level during playback. See page 23 for more information on record levels.

HDub Speed Indicators: These indicators show which record speed has been selected for dub recordings. See page 21 for more informa- tion on record-speed selection.
