14 TASCAM CD-RW4U

Front panel

1POWER switch The power switch is used

to switch the unit between standby and on (full oper-
ational mode).
When the unit is turned on, the display shows
TASCAM, followed by CD-RW4U, and the unit
then reads the Table of Contents of any inserted disc.
In standby mode, the display is dimmed, and shows
USB MODE or AUDIO MODE, depending
on the current selection (see page 10).

2Remote sensor window This accepts the

commands from the remote control unit. Do not
cover this window when operating the unit with the
remote control unit.
3INPUT SELECT Repeated presses of this
key cycle through the different audio inputs and the
input combinations. See “Input selection” on page 19
for full details.

4SYNC REC key Use this key to turn syn-

chronized recording on and off (see “Synchronized
recording” on page 24 for details).
5RECORD key Use this key to enter record
ready mode (see “Recording” on page 19 for details)
and also to enter manual track divisions (see “Manual
track division” on page 23).

6PLAY/PAUSE key Use this key to start or

resume playback or recording.

7STOP key Use this key to stop playback or

recording.

8Disc tray The recorded surface of the disc

should face the base of the unit. If the unit is being
used in a vertical orientation, the recorded surface of
the disc should face the base of the unit, and the disc
should be hooked under the lip of 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.

9Display The display is used to show the cur-

rent status of the unit, as well as the current menu set-
tings.

AOPEN/CLOSE key Use this key to open

and close the disc tray. The display shows OPEN
when the tray is opening and CLOSE when the
tray is closing.

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.

CINPUT LEVEL control Use this control to

adjust the level of the analog audio signals received
at the LINE IN jacks I.
DFINALIZE key Use this key to finalize
recordable discs. See “Finalizing” on page 12 and

through the different menu items used to set parame-
ters.
