4 Getting Started

Introduction to CD	English
recording

The PDR-609 is designed to let you make extremely high quality digital recordings onto recordable compact discs. For flexibility, you can use either rewritable discs (CD-RW) or write-once discs (CD-R). For more general information on the discs you can and can’t use with this recorder, see About CD, CD-R and CD-RW Discs on page 10. The following 2-page overview gives you some idea of what the PDR-609 is capable of, and also provides guidance on what to avoid and things to be careful of when recording. We strongly recom- mend that you read these pages fully before proceeding to the more detailed instructions on the following pages.

Digital recording restrictions

This unit has been designed exclusively for recording and playback of audio discs— you can’t record other CD formats, such as computer CD-ROMs or Dolby Digital (AC- 3).

If you record from a disc format such as CD+graphics, Video-CD, or other format that includes both digital audio and video or text, you will only be able to record the audio part of the disc.

In addition to standard audio CDs, this recorder will record DTS encoded audio CDs and HDCD format CDs (in this case, the recording level must be set to 0dB).

Almost all commercial digital source material is protected by copyright laws. For this reason, the PDR-609 uses special consumer-use blank CD-R and CD-RW discs on which a copyright fee has already been paid. A further restriction comes in the form of SCMS (an acronym for Serial Copy Management System).
