CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT We Want You 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. 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. Decibel Level Example 30 40 50 60 70 80 Quiet library, soft whispers Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

start Features of the PDR-609 CD recorder Create your own 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. Make digital recordings from any source 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 DAT (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 ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable 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-RW, 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-RW discs. Check in the instructions that came with the player for compatibility. Checking what's in the box Make sure that you've received the following supplied accessories with your PDR­609 CD Recorder: 1 Two sets of audio cords 2 AC power cord 3 Two `AA' size R6P batteries 4 Remote control unit Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using the PDR­609 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. · Also included in the box is your warranty card and this instruction manual. Using this manual This manual is for the PDR­609 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. 6 En $ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit's feet. 1 Before you start Putting the batteries in the remote control English · Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off. · Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with the markings inside the compartment. · Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use. 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. Avoiding condensation problems 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. 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. Take 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. Care and maintenance Cleaning external surfaces To 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. Moving the unit If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording--the disc rotates at a high speed and may be damaged. Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don't wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. Storing optical cable When storing optical cable, coil loosly as shown at right. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners. more + than = 5-14/16 in (15 cm) 7 En 1 Before you start Storing 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. Avoid 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. Discs to avoid 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 PDR­609 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 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. About CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs The PDR­609 is compatible with three types of compact disc: Consumer-use discs The PDR­609 is only compatible with special consumer-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. These are clearly marked For Music Use Only, For Consumer, or For Consumer Use. Other types of CD-R or CD-RW 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 · Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. · TDK Corporation · Verbatim 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. Note: Discs from all of the above makers may also be sold under different brand names. Playback-only CDs This unit will playback any ordinary audio CDs carrying the Compact Disc Digital Audio mark shown right. CD-Recordable 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-Rewritable 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 CD Text 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. 8 En 1 Before you start Recording 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. Recording copyright material 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. You 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).

Note: It is not possible to daisy-chain several units together for digital duplication. 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). Connecting up for digital playback & recording The diagrams on these pages show possible connections with various other components in your system. Before you start connecting your system, make sure that all the components are switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet. Using the digital inputs To make direct digital recordings on the PDR­609 you'll need to connect the digital output of a source (like a CD, MD, or DAT player) to one of the digital inputs on this unit. To 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. About optical and coaxial jacks The PDR­609 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. To 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. Using the digital outputs If you have another digital recorder, such as a MD or DAT recorder, you might want to use the PDR­609 as a digital source. In this case, connect one of the digital outputs of the PDR­609 to a similar digital input on your other digital recorder. CD text compatible 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 CONTROL IN on the unit to the CONTROL TEXT jack on the PDR-609 using a commercially 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. Note: Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is connected to the amplifier when using CD text control cords. 10 En When connecting optical leads, take care not to bend the 2 Connecting up English LINE REC PLAY IN OUT AC IN L R CONTROL TEXT IN DIGITAL IN OPTICAL COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL COAXIAL L R R L R L MD/TAPE REC L OUTPUT INPUT PLAY R L R OUT CONTROL Connecting up for analog playback & recording Before you start, make sure that all the components are switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet. 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. POWER-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. 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 information on using its remote as a multi-controller. Use a commercially available cord with a mono mini-plug at either end to connect the CONTROL OUT terminal of the amplifier/receiver to the CONTROL IN terminal of this unit. Note: Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is connected to the amplifier when using Î control cords. 11 En 3 Controls and Displays 1 2 34 5 COMPACT DISC DIGITAL RECORDER 6 7 8 DIGITAL REC LEVEL 9 ANALOG REC LEVEL 10 ÛB->?/ PUSH ENTER ANALOG REC BALANCE R TEXT MENU/ DELETE L SCROLL TIME AUTO MANUAL MONITOR TRACK NO.
