Yamaha CDR-HD 1500 owner manual Glossary

GLOSSARY

The following explains key terms used in this manual.

Album

An album is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16).

Audio Master Quality Recording

Audio Master Quality Recording is a high quality recording mode used to create an audio CD with its original quality. By minimizing the jitter that subtly degrades the audio quality or even causes data transmission failure, Audio Master Quality Recording actualizes a clear sound close to the original sound.

Bookmark

A bookmark is a collection of audio tracks of your preference. You can play back or record audio data using a bookmark, and an album can be created from a bookmark. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).

CD TEXT

CD TEXT is text information (album title, track title, etc) recorded on CDs and can be read only with a CD player or CD-ROM drive that supports CD TEXT.

Digital Move

Digital move implies moving audio data recorded on the HDD onto CD-R/RW discs. The audio data once digital moved onto CD-R/RW discs are erased from the HDD. Because digital move is regarded as one generation of digital copying, audio data can be digitally copied from CDs onto the HDD and then from the HDD onto CD-R/RW discs. However, audio data cannot be copied onto several CD-R/ RW discs at the same time.

Disc

A disc is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).

Emphasis

Emphasis is a recording mode used to improve the quality of audio data. Emphasis turns the volume of the upper register up before recording and down while playing back, resulting in a decrease in the noise level of the upper register.

Finalize

Finalize is a process to enable audio data recorded onto CD-R/RW discs to be played back on CD players or other CD-RW compatible devices. An audio disc created on this unit must be finalized to be played back on other playback devices.

Group

A group is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit and is a collective term for albums, discs and book- marks. A group consists of several audio tracks. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).

SCMS

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a system developed by JASRAC (Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Producers) to prevent unlimited digital copying of CD’s and other prerecorded media. In essence, SCMS prevents more than one generation of digital copying (i.e. a copy of an SCMS copy- protected source cannot be duplicated).

TOC

TOC (Table of Contents) is a disc index recorded on a finalized disc and enables playback devices to distinguish audio tracks recorded on the disc.

Track

A track is equivalent to one audio recording and is the smallest unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).

Track Mark

A track mark is a mark made at the beginning of a track and enables playback devices to distinguish the starting position of each audio track. A track mark also facilitates track search and intro playback. You can make a track mark on this unit either automatically or manually.
