CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT This product complies with the Low V oltage Directive (73/23/EEC, amended by 93/68/ EEC), EMC Directives (89/ 336/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC). Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’ s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’ s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly , without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. T o establish a safe level: ÷ Start your volume control at a low setting. ÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly , and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ÷ Set the dial and leave it there. T aking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. W e W ant Y ou Listening For A Lifetime Used wisely , your new sound equipment will provide a life- time of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’ s Consumer Electron- ics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to exces- sive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protec- tion.

6 En 1 Befor e y ou st ar t Hints on inst alla tion We want you to enjoy using the PDR–609 for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it: Do... ✔ Use in a well-ventilated room. ✔ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack. Don’ t... ✘ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity , including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances. ✘ Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight. ✘ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment. ✘ Place directly on top of an amplifier , or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. ✘ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna. ✘ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam. ✘ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit’ s feet. 1 T wo sets of audio cords 2 AC power cord 3 T wo ‘AA ’ size R6P batteries 4 Remote control unit Checking what’ s in the bo x Make sure that you’ve received the following supplied accessories with your PDR–609 CD Recorder: • Also included in the box is your warranty card and this instruction manual. Using this manual This manual is for the PDR–609 CD Recorder . It is split into two sections: the first shows how to set up the CD recorder; the second takes you through each stage of operation. Set up, which starts here, shows you how to get your new CD recorder up and running with the rest of your stereo system. In the second section of the manual, starting on page16, you’ll learn how to use the various features of the recorder . The final part of the manual provides reference information on display messages you might encounter during use, a troubleshooting section, and technical specifications. F eatur e s of the PDR -609 CD r ecor der Cr eat e your o wn audio CDs At last, there's a convenient and affordable way to make your own audio CDs. Create your own original recordings, or put together compilations of your favorite tracks from your existing CDs. Other uses include making high-quality recordings from radio or satellite broadcasts, and making personal copies of CDs, MDs, etc. to keep in the car , keeping the originals safe at home. The CD text feature of the PDR-609 allows you put text information on your recordings to easily identify and select from the contents. Mak e digit al r ecor dings fr om any sour ce The PDR-609 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it to almost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter , you can make direct digital recordings from satellite (usually 32kHz), DCC and DA T (up to 48kHz), as well as CD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only) enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs too. Analog sources are also catered for with the analog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard audio components such as cassette decks and turntables. Use both or dinar y r ecor dable CDs and r ewrit able CDs Ordinary recordable CDs (CD-R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discs and the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for many applications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD-R W , is a more recent type of recordable CD that allows erasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use the discs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD-R**. * While most CD players should have no problems with CD-R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), the player may not be able to read some CD-R discs. ** At the time of writing, most ordinary CD players cannot play CD-R W discs. Check in the instructions that came with the player for compatibility .
7 En 1 Befor e y ou st art English Car e and maint enance Cleaning e xt ernal surfaces T o clean the compact disc recorder , wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water , wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry . Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces. Mo ving the unit If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Ne ver lift or mo v e the unit during pla yback or recor ding —the disc rotates at a high speed and may be damaged. St oring optical cable When storing optical cable, coil loosly as shown at right.

Caution! Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following: • Don’ t mix new and old batteries together • Don’ t use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar , different batteries may have different voltages. • Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery compartment. • Remove batteries from equipment that isn’ t going to be used for a month or more. • When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’ s rules that apply in your country or area. W ipe lightly fr om the cent er of the disc using str aight str ok es. Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strok es. A voiding condensa tion pr oblems Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly . Although the condensation won’ t damage the player , it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer tempera- ture for about an hour before switching on and using. Handling discs When holding CDs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and/or recording performance. T ake care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recording side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable. Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge. If necessary , use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly . Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records. more than = 5-1 4/1 6 in (1 5 cm)
8 En 1 Befor e y ou st ar t About CD, CD-R and CD-R W discs The PDR–609 is compatible with three types of compact disc: Pla yback -only CDs This unit will playback any ordinary audio CDs carrying the Compact Disc Digital Audio mark shown right. CD-R ecor dable discs Recordable CDs, or CD-R, carry the mark shown right, and are 'write once'. This means that having recorded something on the disc it is permanent—it can't be re-recorded or erased. CD-R e writ able discs Rewritable CDs, or CD-RW , carry the mark shown right. As the name indicates, you can erase and re-record material on these discs so that they can be used over and over again. CD TEXT discs Consumer -use discs The PDR–609 is only compatible with special consumer -use CD-R and CD-R W discs. These are clearly marked Fo r Music Use Only , F or Consumer , or F or Con- sumer Use. Other types of CD-R or CD-R W discs, such as those available for computer -based CD recorders, will not work with this recorder . Pioneer has checked the following branded discs for compatibility with this recorder (as of May 2000): • Eastman Kodak Company • Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. • Hitachi Maxell, Ltd. • Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. • Sony Corporation • Ritek Corporation • T aiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. • TDK Corporation • V erbatim Corporation • Pioneer Corporation Sample discs from the following makers have also been checked for compatibility (as of May 2000): • Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation* • Ricoh Company , Ltd.* * At the time of writing, discs branded under these names are not available. Not e: Discs from all of the above makers may also be sold under different brand names. St oring discs Although CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly . When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. A void leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). When labeling discs, use a felt-tip pen sold for marking CDs. Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc. For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs. CD lens cleaner The compact disc recorder's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center . Although lens cleaners for compact disc recorders are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens. Discs t o a void CDs spin at high speed inside the player during playback and recording. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your CD recorder or player—you could end up damaging the unit. The PDR–609 is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CD’ s only . Use of shaped CD’ s is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CD’ s. CD T ext discs, carry the mark shown right. These are commercially available discs that will display the disc title, artist name, and track titles of the disc when played in a CD text compatible player .
9 En 1 Befor e y ou st art English R ecor ding copyright mat erial The price of a consumer -use disc includes a copyright fee that has been paid to the copyright owner (in countries where the copyright fee collection system has been established based on their respective copyright laws). This means that you can use these discs to record music and other material for your personal use. If you want to use a disc for anything other than personal use, you must get permission from the copyright owner (note that copyright laws vary from country to country; check the copyright-related laws in your particular country for more information). Broadcast programs, CDs, other recorded media (cassettes, vinyl records, etc.) and musical performances are all protected by copyright laws. Y ou must get permission from the copyright owner if you sell, transfer , distribute or lease a disc recorded from the above mentioned sources, or if you use it as part of a business (such as for background music in a store). R ecor ding and finalizing discs Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs have a number of distinct states, and what you can do with a disc depends on the current state of the disc. The figure below shows the three states—blank, partially recorded, and finalized—and summarizes what’ s possible ( ✔ ) and impossible (✘ ) in each. CD-R CD-R CD CD-RW FINALIZE CD-RW CD-RW R ecording Finalization Recordable Erasable Skip ID set/clear Plays in ordinary CD player ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ Recordable Erasable Skip ID set/clear Plays in ordinary CD player ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘ Recordable Erasable Skip ID set/clear Plays in ordinary CD player ✘ ✘ ✘ ✔ Recordable Erasable Skip ID set/clear Plays in ordinary CD player ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ Recordable Erasable Skip ID set/clear Plays in ordinary CD player ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ Recordable* Erasable Skip ID set/clear* Plays in ordinary CD player** ✘ ✔ ✘ ✘ * Once the CD-R W has been erased, it becomes recordable again and skip IDs can be set and cleared. ** In general, current CD players cannot play CD-R W discs. However , this situation may change. The process of finalization fixes the contents of a CD-R in place for good by creating a T able of Contents (TOC, for short) at the beginning of the disc which tells other players exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. See Finalizing a disc on page 42 for more on finalization. Keep in mind the following when using the remote control unit: • Make sure that there are no obstacles in between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit. • Use within the operating range and angle, as shown in the diagram below . • Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’ s remote sensor . • Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other .

10 En 2 Connecting up cable around sharp corners as this can damage the cable. Likewise, when storing optical cable, coil loosely (as shown on page 8). If you’re using one of the coaxial-type digital connectors you’ll need a lead with an RCA/phono plug at each end (the same type of connector as the Video cable). Using the digital input s T o make direct digital recordings on the PDR–609 you’ll need to connect the digital output of a source (like a CD, MD, or DA T player) to one of the digital inputs on this unit. T o make recordings from analog sources (like a turntable or cassette deck) it’ s usually easiest to connect this player to your amplifier/ receiver’ s tape inputs and outputs—see page 15 for more on this. Using the digital output s If you have another digital recorder , such as a MD or DA T recorder , you might want to use the PDR–609 as a digital source. In this case, connect one of the digital outputs of the PDR–609 to a similar digital input on your other digital recorder . CD t ext compa tible components If you wish to record CD text as well as audio information from an external CD player (compatible with CD text), you must connect the CONTR OL IN on the unit to the CONTR OL TEXT jack on the PDR-609 using a commer - cially available cord with a mono mini-plug. At the time of writing, the Pioneer PD-F1009 is the only CD player that can perform this operation.

Before you start connecting your system, make sure that all the components are switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet. About optical and coaxial jacks The PDR–609 has both optical and coaxial jacks for both digital input and output. There’ s no need to connect both, but since some equipment has only one type of connector—and you can only connect like with like—having both on this unit can be an advantage. T o use the optical jack, you’ll need an optical cable. These are readily available at audio dealers. When buying, check that the cable is no longer than 3m. Pull out the dust cap and store it in a safe place for future use. Check that both optical plug and socket are free from dust—if necessary , clean with a soft, dry cloth. The optical lead will only go in one way , so match up the jack and the plug before inserting fully . When connecting optical leads, take care not to bend the PDR–609 CD-R ecor der Choose either the coaxial or the optical connect or . or Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. or
11 En 2 Connecting up English PO WER -CORD CAUTION Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way . Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Next, connect this unit to your amplifier/receiver using the two sets of supplied audio leads—one set for playback, the other for recording. On the rear panel of your amplifier find an unused set of inputs/outputs for a tape/md recorder (check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier if you’re unsure about which terminals to use). Using this set up you can make recordings from any other component connected to the amplifier , via the analog inputs of this unit. Connecting other Pioneer Î components If you are using a Pioneer amplifier or receiver that has this feature, you can control this unit with the multi-remote controller that came with your amplifier/receiver . The advantage of this is that you can use a single remote control to operate several components. Check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier or receiver for more informa- tion on using its remote as a multi-controller . Use a commercially available cord with a mono mini-plug at either end to connect the CONTR OL OUT terminal of the amplifier/receiver to the CONTR OL IN terminal of this unit. Not e: Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is connected to the amplifier when using Î control cords.

Intr oduc tion t o CD r ecording 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. W e strongly recom- mend that you read these pages fully before proceeding to the more detailed instructions on the following pages. Digital r ecor ding r estrictions 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).
4 Get ting Star t ed 18 En This generally allows just one generation of digital recording. In other words, you can make a digital recording from an original source (such as a commercial CD), but you can’t then make further digital recordings from that copy . Most digital recording equipment uses the SCMS system, including CD and MD recorders, and DA T decks. You may also find that you can’t record certain DVD discs as the digital output of the DVD player can be disabled by the disc. Of course, if you do encounter SCMS or other digital-copy restrictions, you can always record through the analog inputs of the PDR-609. T o check whether a source is digital-copy protected, see Checking for Digital Copy Protection on page 60. R ecor ding mode s The recorder is equipped with a set of analog input terminals, as well as both optical and coaxial digital inputs. This means that the PDR–609 is compatible with almost all audio sources—analog or digital. It even has a built in sampling rate converter making it ideal for recording DA T tapes or satellite broadcasts, for example, which are often at sampling rates different to that of CD. Since CDs are always recorded at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, sample rate conversion is completely automatic—if the recorder senses a digital signal at either 32 or 48kHz, it will convert it to 44.1kHz. Note that this recorder can't convert 96kHz digital sources (such as some DA T tapes and DVD discs). Miscellaneous information • The minimum recordable time is four seconds. • Usually , track numbers are recorded onto the disc automatically when recording. If you decide to switch off this feature (for example, when you’re recording from a satellite broadcast), be sure to input track markers as recording is taking place—you can’ t add them after recording is complete. See pages 33 for more on manual and automatic track numbering. • The maximum number of tracks on a disc is 99. Digital r ecor ding fr om D A T If you’re recording a DA T tape that was recorded using the DA T machine's auto ID function, the IDs on the tape are slightly after the beginning of the actual recording. This can cause problems for the CD recorder: • The start of the track may not be recorded. • The track number will be recorded on the disc after the start of the track. • The beginning of the next track on the DA T is uninten- tionally recorded. T o avoid these problems, we recommend recording start IDs on the DA T manually , if possible. If this is not possible, or if there are no start IDs on the DA T , we recommend using manual track numbering while recording to CD to ensure that new tracks are starting in the right places. Refer to the instructions for your DA T recorder for more information. Y ou might also encounter problems if you try to synchro- record all tracks from a DA T that is set to program play . If you want to record a DA T in program play mode, use the 1-track synchro recording mode—see pages 20 for how to do this. Digital signal int erruptions Sources of signal interruption include power or source component failure, accidental disconnection of the intercon- nect cord, and interruption of digital satellite broadcasts. In all these cases, if the signal resumes within about five seconds, the result will just be a blank section on the disc. If the interruption is longer than five seconds, the recorder displays the error message: DIN UNL OCK and recording is paused. P o w er int erruptions Never switch off the PDR-609 while it's recording, or while the display shows PMA REC (Program Memory Area Recording). If there's a power failure, or you accidently disconnect the power from the wall outlet while recording is in process, you'll lose at least part of the recording. After recording, always remove the disc from the recorder before switching the power off. Failure to do this could result in you losing some of the recorded material on the disc.
19 En 4 Get ting Start ed English R ecor ding one tr ack fr om a sour ce If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from a digital (CD, MD, DCC or DA T) or an analog source, the recorder can start and stop automatically . With digital recording, there's no need to worry about recording levels—you'll get a perfect digital copy of the original (if you want to change the digital recording level, see pages 23). If you are recording from a noisy analog source, such as a vinyl record, or from a source with long quiet sections, the recorder may not recognize the end of the track. In this case, we recommend using manual recording (see pages 22). 1 Load a CD-R or CD-R W disc. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record. 2 Pr ess INPUT SELECT OR t o choose an input.

23 En 4 Ge t ting start ed English Se t ting the digital r ecor ding le v el One of the advantages of digital-to-digital recording is that you don't have to set recording levels—and risk distortion by overloading the disc. If you're recording commercial material from CD or MD, the digital level has already been optimized and you don't need to change it. If you're making a digital copy of a CD, DA T or MD that was not commercially produced and that was consistently under -recorded, you can boost the overall level by up to 20dB. Remember though, that any peaks in the original recording run the risk of distorting the copy . If you record digital satellite broadcasts, you may also have cause to boost the recording volume since the volume of some broadcasts is relatively low , but again, if there are any peaks in the broadcast, you run the risk of momentary distortion. It's also possible to reduce the digital recording volume, but in most cases, this is not desirable. However , if you're putting together a mix CD (various tracks compiled from different sources), and there is a track which stands out as generally louder than the others, then you might want to reduce the level of that track. Note that this feature will not get rid of distortion on the source material. Once changed, the new digital recording level remains until you change it again, or reset it. Each digital input has its own level which can be set independently . NO TE : If you are recording DTS encoded audio CDs or HDCD format CDs, the digital recording level must be set to 0.0dB for recording. ◊ÛB - >?/ MONI TOR INPUT SELECTOR AUTO MANUAL AUTO MANUAL TRACK NO .

Once finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable, nor will you be able to set or clear skip IDs. Finalization is not reversible for CD-Rs so be absolutely sure that everything on the disc is the way you want it before you start. CD-RW discs can also be finalized, although you can still erase the disc afterward and reuse it, so it's not anything like as final as it is with a CD-R disc. A finalized CD-R W disc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD- RW discs (at present, these are very few). Caution! Finalization takes a couple of minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit—the disc may become unusable as a result. 1 Load the CD-R or CD-R W y ou want t o finalize.

33 En 6 Mor e r ecor ding featur e s English Aut omatically numbering tr acks If you're recording from CD, MD, DCC or DA T , you can usually let the recorder number the tracks automatically as they change on the source material. When recording other digital or analog sources, the recorder will start a new track if it detects more than 2 seconds of silence. However if you’re recording a noisy vinyl record or a classical recording with long quiet sections, the recorder may not always regognize the gap between tracks. For this reason you can adjust the level of sound that the recorder regards as ‘silence’. Each input (analog, coaxial and optical) has its own threshold level, which can be set independently . Not e: The minimum analog threshold level is -66dB. 1 When the r ecor der is st opped, pr ess MENU/DELETE. 2 T urn the jog dial until A.L VL appear s in the displa y , then pr ess t o ENTER.

If the AU T O TRK indicator is not lit, press AU T O / MANU AL to switch it on. T o check that tracks will start at the correct points on the recording, see Monitoring a source on page 36. Manuall y numbering tr acks Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder , you can number tracks manually as recording is taking place. In some cases—such as recording from digital satellite or Laserdisc, or from an analog source— auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering. R emember: It is not possible to edit track numbers after recording. 1 Mak e sur e aut omatic track numbering is switched OFF . If the AU T O TRK indicator is lit, press AU T O / MANUAL to switch it off. 2 Start r ecording.

If digit al s ynchr o-r ecording fails t o oper at e corr ec tly , check the follo wing: 1. Pause playback of the source, then press the DIGIT AL SYNCHRO button again. • If you’re recording from a portable CD player , etc., make sure that the shock-protection feature is switched off. 2. Start playback of the source component once you see the SYNCHRO indicator start to blink. 3. If none of the above solves the problem, use manual digital recording to record. • Digital synchro-recording uses a digital sub-signal contained in the source player’ s digital output. Digital synchro-recording will not work when recording from the following devices: • CD players whose digital output does not include a sub-signal • Portable CD, MD or DVD players which do not output a digital signal when stopped.
