Tascam CD-RW2000 owner manual Playback operations, Simple playback operations

The CD-RW2000 can be used to play back CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been recorded on the unit.

3.1 Simple playback operations

1Press the OPEN/CLOSE key (3 or 1) to open the disc tray.

2Discs should be inserted in the tray with the label uppermost.

3Press the OPEN/CLOSE key (3 or 1) to close the tray again.

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. When the TOC has been read, the display shows (at the top left of the display) one of the following:

CD		A commercial pre-recorded CD or a
		finalized CD-R
CD-R, NO TOC	A CD-R which has yet to be finalized
CD-RW, NO TOC		A CD-RW which has yet to be finalized
CD-RW		A finalized CD-RW (this differs from a CD,
		as it may be unfinalized and erased)
[blank]	Unusable or unreadable disc or no disc

1Press the PLAY key (H or L) to start playback

2Press the STOP key (G or I) to stop playback

3Press the PAUSE key (I or J) to pause play- back temporarily.

The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis- play light, to show the available unplayed tracks. If there are thirteen tracks on the disc, for example, indicators 1 through 13 will light. If there are more than 20 tracks on a disc, the track number OVER indi- cator (at the bottom of the display) will light.

3.1.1Time display modes

When playing back a CD (or in pause mode), there are four different time display modes.

In each mode, the current track number is given, fol- lowed by the time, as given below, e.g.

10Tr 0:48

3 – Playback operations

Press the DISPLAY key (A or 5) to cycle through these time display modes, as described below:

Display shows	Meaning
TOTAL	Total elapsed time of the disc
[blank]	Elapsed time of the current track
TOTAL REMAIN	Time remaining of the current disc
REMAIN	Time remaining of the current track

NOTE

If programmed playback has been selected (3.2, “Programmed order playback”), the elapsed time and total remaining time refer to the programmed mate- rial, not the whole disc.

3.1.2Track search

Use the MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP keys on the remote control unit H to jump forward or back- ward by one track at a time, as shown on the display.

Note that going forward from the last track of the disc will “wrap round” to track 1, and going back- ward from the first track of the disc will “wrap round” to the last track of the disc.

The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis- play shows the selected track (the lit indicator at the left of the row of indicators).

It is also possible to use the number keys on the remote control unit 2to jump directly to a particular track:

1To play tracks 1 through 9, simply press the appropriate key (1 through 9).

2To play a track whose number is higher than 9, press the +10 key an appropriate number of times to set the “tens” digit of the track num- ber, followed by a single key to set the “units” digit. For example:

Track 13 = +10, 3

Track 30 = +10, +10, +10, 0

On the remote control unit only, the SEARCH keys Gcan be used to “fast-forward” and “fast-rewind” through the disc.

3.1.3Playback modes

The unit can be set to play back the whole disc in the order in which it was created, the tracks of the disc in a random (shuffled) order, or a programmed order (see 3.2, “Programmed order playback”).
