6 1 Befor e Y ou St ar t Maint aining y our CD r ecor der 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 Before moving this unit, remove all discs, then close the tray . The CD SELECT lights should all turn off. At this point, hold down the 7 button (CD-R side) and press PLA Y MODE on the front panel. When you see the message OK ! you can then switch the unit off and unplug from the wall outlet. This procedure returns the unit to its shipping position. Y ou cannot use the unit when the display reads OK ! — normal operation resumes when power is switched back on. Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording — discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged. 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. P o wer cor d 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. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. About CD, CD–R and CD–R W Discs This unit is compatible with three different 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 once something is recorded on the disc it is perma- nent — it can't be re-recorded or erased. CD-R e writ able discs Rewritable CDs, or CD-R W, 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. Consumer -use discs This recorder is only compatible with special consumer -use CD-R and CD-RW discs. These are clearly marked F or Music Use Only , F or Consumer , or F or Consumer 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 K odak Compan y • FUJI PHO T O FILM CO., LTD. • Hit achi Max ell, Ltd. • MITSUI CHEMICALS, INC. • TAIY O YUDEN CO., LTD. • TDK CORPORA TION • VERB A TIM CORPORA TION • PIONEER CORPOR A TION • SONY CORPORA TION • RITEK CORPORA TION Sample discs from the following makers have also been checked for compatibility (as of May 2000), although at the time of writing discs branded under these names are not available. • Mitsubishi Chemical Corpor ation • RICOH COMP ANY , LTD. Not e: Discs from any of the above makers may also be sold under different brand names. Av oiding condensation 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 temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.
7 1 Befor e Y ou St ar t 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. Figure 1. (right) shows the three states — blank, partially recorded, and finalized — and summarizes what’ s possible ( ✔) and impossible ( ✘) in each. 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. This tells a CD player exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. Once a CD-R is finalized, further recording and other changes become impossible. The CD recorder and other CD players treat a finalized disc as an ordinary playback- only CD. (See page 31 for more information on finalizing CD-Rs.) CD-rewritable discs can be finalized in the same way as CD-R discs, but even after finalization, the disc can still be erased and used over again. Remember that CD-RW discs can only be played on players that are specifically designed to play CD-RW discs: most home CD players will not play these discs, even after the disc has been finalized. (See page 30 for more information on finalizing CD-RWs.) ✔ Recordable ✘ Erasable ✘ Skip ID set/clear ✘ Play in ordinary CD player ✔ Recordable ✘ Erasable ✔ Skip ID set/clear ✘ Play in ordinary CD player ✘ Recordable ✘ Erasable ✘ Skip ID set/clear ✔ Play in ordinary CD player ✔ Recordable ✘ Erasable ✘ Skip ID set/clear ✘ Play in ordinary CD player ✔ Recordable ✔ Erasable ✔ Skip ID set/clear ✘ Play in ordinary CD player ✘ Recordable* ✔ Erasable ✘ Skip ID set/clear* ✘ Play in ordinary CD player** * Once the CD-RW has been erased, it becomes recordable again and skip IDs can be set and cleared. ** In general, current CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. However , this situation may change. Pla ying par tially r ecor ded discs Partially recorded discs (discs which contain recorded material but have not yet been finalized) can be played in the 3-CD changer of this unit with the following limitations: • It will take longer than usual to read the disc when you load it and start playback. • When the partially recorded disc is stopped, the display will not show any disc time information. During playback, only track elapsed time is displayed; you cannot switch to any other display mode. • If you play a CD-RW from which tracks have been erased, you may still hear the erased tracks and the disc may not play correctly . • It may not be possible to play an unfinalized disc if there is very little blank space left. fig 1. differences between recordable and rewritable discs. 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).

13 4 Ge t ting St ar t ed Quick CD r ecording Although the PDR-W37 has many advanced recording features, duplicating a CD is pretty much a one-touch operation. Before starting, make sure that the recorder is connected to your amplifer and that everything is plugged in to a power outlet.

Place a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc, with the label/non- recording side face up, on to the disc tray . Again, make certain that it is seated correctly in the disc guide. Be careful when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs not to leave fingerprints on the recording surface. 5 Pr e ss OPEN/CL OSE 0 t o close the disc tr a y . The recorder reads the disc to see what you've loaded. After a few seconds it should tell you that you’ve loaded a NEW DISC . 6 Pr ess CD = CD-R ST AR T (REC THIS). The recorder automatically copies at double speed, so if you're listening to the recording as it's being made it will sound a little strange! After the CD in the changer has finished playing, the recorder will finalize the CD-R to make it playable on most ordinary CD players (for more information on this process, turn to page 7). This process takes just a few minutes after the CD has been copied. Remove the disc from the recorder before switching off. 3 - COMP ACT DISC MUL TI CHANGER COMPACT DISC DIGIT AL RECORDER  COMPACT DISC RECORDER / MULTI-CD CHANGER Hi-bit Legato Link Conversion CD TEXT ◊ÛB¿ˆ≤≥ REC VOL START REC THIS CD =CD-R MENU /DELETE PUSH ENTER OPEN/CLOSE 1 POWER — OFF _ ON OPEN/CLOSE ¶ 0 0 Se t ting the headphone lev el Y ou can set the headphone level so that the output is relatively louder or softer . 1 Pr e ss MENU/DELETE. 2 T urn the jog dial until H.P .

19 5 R ecor ding F eatur es Intr oduc tion Recording CDs from the disc changer has several advantages over recording from an external CD player . • Double speed recording lets you record a disc in half the regular time. • Automatic spacing when individual tracks are recorded. • Automatic SCMS copying makes sure that, whenever possible, you'll get a digital copy . In the event of a disc preventing digital copying with SCMS, the link beween the changer and the CD-R automatically switches to analog. R ecor ding a CD If you want to duplicate a CD exactly as it is, the easiest way is to follow the steps in Quick CD recording on page 13. The instruc- tions here give you a little more control over the recording you make. 1 Load the CD y ou w ant t o copy in t o the CD changer . Y ou can use any of the three disc trays in the changer . 2 Load a CD-R or CD-R W int o the CD-R tr a y .

27 5 R ecor ding F eatur es Se t ting the silence threshold 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 before the next sound on the source. However if you’re recording a noisy vinyl record or a classical recording with long quiet sections, the recorder may not always recognize 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 maximum analog threshold level is -6 6dB. 1 Pr e ss MENU/DELETE. 2 T urn the jog dial ( 4 and ¢ on the r emot e) until A.L VL. appear s in the displa y , then pre ss t o ENTER.

Manually 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 2 seconds of silence before the next sound on the source), 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 tr ack number - ing is switched OFF .

Set ting the recor ding lev el When recording commercially produced CDs, the recording level has already been optimized and you don't need to change it. Boosting the level will generally result in distortion where there are peaks in the music. If you're recording a non- commercially produced CD that has been consistently under - recorded, you may need to boost the level. If you're putting together a mix CD of tracks from different discs you might find that some tracks sound louder than others because average volumes vary . T o even this out you may want to reduce the recording level of some tracks. This feature is only available when recording from the CD changer . Not e: If you are recording DTS encoded audio CDs or HDCD format CDs, the digital recording level must be set to 0dB for recording. 3 - C OM P AC T DI S C MU L TI CH A NG E R CO M P A CT D I SC D I GI T AL R E CO R DE R  COMPACT DISC RECORDER / MULTI-CD CHANGER Hi-bi t Leg ato Link Conversio n CD TEXT ◊ÛB¿ˆ≤≥ REC VOL REC MODE MENU/ DELETE PUSH ENTER ¶ 4 1 ¡ ¢ TIME ENTER MENU/ DELETE 4 ¢

30 6 F inalizing and Er asing F inalizing a disc Before you can play a CD-R on an ordinary CD player , the disc must go through a process called finalization. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is no longer recordable. 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-RW disc can only be played on a CD player that is compatible with CD-R W discs (at present, there are very few of these). Caution! Finalization takes a few minutes. During this time never switch off the power to the unit — the disc may be damaged as a result. 1 Load the CD–R or CD–R W you w ant t o finalize. • Check that the disc is free from dust, dirt and scratches — if necessary , clean the disc following the guidelines on page 43. 2 Pr e ss FINALIZE. The recorder goes into record-pause mode, then the display changes to: REC MIN SEC TOC O1:56 • Press 7 (CD-R side) here to cancel finalization. 3 Pr e ss 6 (CD-R side) t o star t final- ization. Finalization takes about 2 minutes; you'll see how long there is still to go in the display . After finalization is complete: If a CD-R is loaded, the CD-R indicator changes to CD. If a CD-R W is loaded, the finalize indicator lights in the display . • None of the controls on the player or the remote have any effect during finalization. If, however , the recorder hasn't managed to finalize the disc within 10 minutes, you can abort the operation by pressing 7.

V arious erase options are available depending on whether or not the disc has been finalized. A third, special option, erases (re-initializes) the whole disc. This process takes quite a long time to complete and should be used for recovering damaged discs, not for erasing tracks from a healthy disc. Caution! Never switch off the power during CD-RW erasing — the disc may be damaged as a result. If the message CHECK DISC appears any time during any erase process, hit eject, take out the disc, clean it, then try the erase command again. Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before switching off the power , otherwise the erase operation will not be completed.

Y ou can also set skip IDs on CD-RWs, although it's probably a less useful feature since you can always erase the last track. Once a skip ID is set, you can clear it, but be careful: you can set up to 21 skip IDs per disc, but repeatedly setting and clearing skip IDs in different recording sessions will reduce this number . Not e: Once a disc has been finalized, you can’ t set or clear skip IDs. However , CD-RWs can be un-finalized, so you can always go back and change those you have set (see p.32 for more on this).

38 8 R ecor ding Other Sour ce s Intr oduc tion Use the various recording modes described here when you're recording from a component connected to the recorder either directly via an optical or coaxial digital connection, or via your amplifier to the the analog line in jacks. For most sources, both analog and digital, it's convinient to use one of the synchro recording modes: 1-track, all track or all track with finalize. Should your particular recording application need it, there's also a manual recording mode. When recording from external sources, bear in mind the following: • Most CDs, MDs, DCCs and DA T s are digital-copy protected, which generally means that you can make a copy of the original, but not a copy of a copy . • When recording incompatible or copy-proteced digital sources, use the analog inputs. • When recording digitally from DA T , the start ID track markers on the tape may be after the start of the track. Check the tape you’re planning to record and manually insert new start IDs before recording. These points are covered in more detail in Additional Information on pages 43–44. Monit oring a source for r ecor ding Using the monitor facility you can listen to a source connected to the analog or digital inputs. This is especially useful for cueing up for the next recording and also for checking that tracks are starting in the proper places during automatic track numbering. 1 St op pla yback of an y discs pla ying in this unit. 2 St art playing the sour ce. 3 Pr e ss INPUT t o selec t the input t o be monit ored.

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. 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 as shown in the diagram below . 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. W ipe lightly fr om the cent er of the disc using str aight str ok es. Don’t wipe the disc surface using cir cular str oke s. Discs t o a void CDs spin at high speed inside the recorder 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—you could end up damaging the unit. R ecor ding CDs This recorder 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 6. The overview on these pages gives you an idea of what's possible, and also provides guidance on what to avoid and things to be careful of when recording. Digital and analog sour ces This recorder has both an optical and a coaxial digital input, as well as a pair of analog inputs. Use a digital input when: • recording from a CD/MD/DA T/DCC player or digital satellite with a digital output. Use the analog inputs when: • recording from a digital component that does not have a digital output (such as some portable equipment). • recording from an incompatible digital source (such as a high sampling-rate DA T tape). • recording a digital copy-protected source (see below). • recording from any analog source (radio broadcasts, vinyl records, cassette tapes, etc.). This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CDs only . Use of shaped CDs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CDs.
44 9 Additional Informa tion Digit al r ecor ding r estric tions 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, V ideo 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. However , the recording level must be set to 0dB. Almost all commercial digital source material is protected by copyright laws. For this reason, this recorder uses special consumer - use blank CD-R and CD-R W discs on which a copyright fee has already been paid. A further restriction is SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). 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-R and MD recorders, and DA T decks. Y ou 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. If you do encounter SCMS or other digital-copy restrictions, you can always record through the analog inputs. Digit al 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 unintentionally recorded T o avoid these problems, we recommend recording start IDs on the DA T manually , if possible. 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 page 39 for how to do this. Digital signal int erruptions Sources of signal interruption include power or source component failure, accidental disconnection of the interconnect 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: D.IN UN- L OCK and recording is paused. P ow er int erruptions Never switch off this recorder while it's copying, recording, finalizing, 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. Miscellaneous information • The minimum recordable time is four seconds. Even if you try and record something shorter than this, the track that the recorder creates will be four seconds. • The maximum number of tracks on a disc is 99.

• A S S O C I A T I O N • E L E C T R O N I C I N D U S T R I E S EST 1924 We Want You LISTENING For A Lifetime 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. To 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. Taking 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 lifetime 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 Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
