Congratulations on your purchase of the CDR500 CD recorder. This unit enables you to record, play, and erase (using CD-RW discs) your own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used to play all pre-recorded CDs.

CD-R and CD-RW Discs

With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying, you can create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD. The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below.

There are two types of recordable discs:

1CD-R (record once):

CD-R discs are only able to be recorded onto a single time but will playback in most CD players.

CD-R discs can be recognized by the following logos:

	Recordable

2CD-RW (multiple recording):

CD-RW discs are able to be recorded onto many times but will only playback in CD players offering CD-RW compatibil- ity. Products that offer CD-RW playback compatibility are available from Marantz, Marantz Professional, and Superscope. Please contact your dealer for more informa- tion on these products.

CD-RW discs can be recognized by the following logos:

Note:

-Most DVD players cannot playback CD-R discs and some cannot playback CD-RW discs because of laser power differ- ences.

-Some CD players may be able to playback finalized CD-RW discs.

-Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R discs be- cause of the low reflectivity of such discs.

The CDR500 is able to record onto any 1X or 2X compatable CD-R and CD-RW disc, including discs for Consumer use and Professional (computer) discs. For a list of recommended discs, please see the Marantz Professional website at
