2 – Features of the CD-RW2000—Front panel

2.1 Front panel

1POWER switch

The power switch is used to switch the unit between off and on (full operational mode).

When the unit is turned on, the display shows

Welcome!.

2Disc tray

Discs should be placed label side upwards in the disc tray.

When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display briefly shows TOC Reading., with a flash- ing period following the word “Reading” as the unit determines the contents of the disc.

3OPEN/CLOSE key

Use this key to open and close the disc tray. The dis- play shows OPEN when the tray is opening and CLOSE when the tray is closing.

4RHSL key

Use this key when recording to set and adjust the start point of a recording session or the start of a track on the recorded disc. See 4.5, “Rehearsal” for details.

5FADER key

Use this key to start fade-in recordings or to start a fade-out when recording (see 4.3.5, “Fade-in and fade-out” for details).

6INPUT SELECT

Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ- ent audio inputs and the input combinations. See 4.1, “Input selection” for full details.

7WORD indicator

This indicator shows that an external word clock source has been selected (using a menu function) when using the unit with other digital audio units in a setup (see 2.4.1, “Word sync connections” for details).

8Display

The display is used to show the current status of the unit, as well as the current menu settings. See 2.2, “Rear panel” for details.

9MENU key

Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ- ent menu items used to set parameters.

ADISPLAY key

Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ- ent time display modes. These modes differ, accord- ing to whether the unit is playing back or recording a disc.

BMULTI DIAL control

Use this control to select tracks for playback, to set parameter values, etc.

Typically, turning the control clockwise will increase a value, and turning it counterclockwise will decrease the value. There is no “end-stop” to the con- trol—it may be turned continuously in either direction.

In addition, when setting menu values, pushing the control acts like an “enter” key, i.e. the currently-dis- played value or setting is confirmed and the display returns to the time display.

CPHONES jack and LEVEL control

Use a standard pair of stereo headphones, equipped with a 1/4-inch plug, with this jack.

Adjust the volume from the jack with the control (turn clockwise for higher volume).

DREC LEVEL controls

Use these concentric controls to adjust the level of the analog audio signals received at the ANALOG IN jacks M. Typically, turning one of these controls will cause the other to turn, but they can be turned inde- pendently of each other.

Use the lower (outer) control to adjust the left signal, and the upper (inner) control to adjust the right signal.

Turning the controls clockwise past the “5” position will boost the signals relative to their input level, and turning them counterclockwise to a position below “5” will cut the signals relative to their original input level.

EFINALIZE key

Use this key to finalize recordable discs. See 1.2, “Finalizing” and 5.1, “Finalizing” for details.

FERASE key

Use this key (with CD-RW discs only) to erase tracks, or a whole disc, or to refresh a “bad” disc, or to unfinalize a finalized disc. See 5.2, “Erasing” for details.

GSTOP key

Use this key to stop playback or recording.
