3INTRODUCTION Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon. The CDR 2 Dual-Deck CD Player/Recorder is a unique product, designed not only to play back your existing library of compact discs, but also to record compact discs from either analog or digital programs. You may feed signals (for recording) to the CDR 2 from external sources such as an A/V receiver, a tuner, a tape deck or a CD player, or you may simply place a CD in one deck, and make a copy using a recordable CD in the other deck. Designed and engineered by Harman Kardon, the CDR 2 is the worldÕs first audio CD recorder with 4x speed capability. This means that it will take only 15 minutes to copy a 60-minute disc. The CDR 2 not only records with the highest speed and quality available but it is also an audiophile CD player. Through the use of AKM digital-to-analog converters (DACs), the CDR 2Õs performance rivals the most sophisti- cated high-end players. Should you wish to bypass the internal DACs and use an external digital processor, both coax and optical-digital outputs are available. Thanks to the CDR 2Õs dual-tray design, you may even play back two separate discs at the same time, for parties or multi-room applications. To make CD playback more enjoyable, the CDR 2 also features a wide range of program and repeat functions. Since CD recorders are a relatively new technol- ogy, this may be your first CD-R product. Although CD recorders resemble play-only CD machines in many ways, there are some impor- tant differences between a standard CD and a CD-R. In addition, making a CD-R recording is also a different process than what you may be familiar with for making audio tape or cassette recordings. For that reason, we encourage you to read through this manual so that you are fully acquainted with the way CD recording works. This small investment in your time will pay major dividends in the enjoyment that will result from proper use of the CDR 2. If you have additional questions about this product Ð its installation or operation Ð that are not answered in this manual, please contact your dealer, who is your best source of local information. You may also contact Harman Kardon via e-mail through our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.Special Features n Dual-Deck CD Player and CD-R/CD-RW Recorder n 4X Dub Speed for Both CD-R and Erasable CD-RW Discs n Audiophile-Grade AKM Digital-to- Analog Converters for Highest Audio Quality n Dual-Play Capability n Extensive Playback Programming Capabilities n Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs and Outputs nFront-Panel Coaxial Digital Input for Use with Portable Devices n Sample-Rate Convertor Allows Use of DAT Players as Digital Source n Ergonomic Remote ControlImportant Information About CD Recording In order to get the most enjoyment from your new CD-R recorder, please pay special attention to the following sections of the manual that provide information about the special features and capabilities of CD Recorders. n The CDR 2 plays all standard CD audio discs but for recording, the CDR 2 uses special CD-R and CD-RW discs designed only for audio use. CD-R discs designed for computer use will not work in the CDR 2. See page 14 for more information on which types of discs are used with the CDR 2. n The last step in making a CD-R recording is the finalization process. Unless this step is properly done, the disc will not work in other players. See page 22 for information on finalizing discs. n Once finalized, CD-R discs will play in any CD player, but CD-RW discs will only play in the CDR 2 and certain other machines. Check the specifications of your CD player if you have questions about compatibility with CD-RW discs. n As with all CD players, except those designed specifically for portable use, you should never move a CD player while there is a disc inside one of the decks.NEVER move the CDR 2 until discs have been removed from both decks.
