This CDRecorder now enables you to record, play and erase your own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used to play all pre-recorded CDs. With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying, you can now create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD. The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below. Copyright fees have been paid on these discs in some countries. Recording on other types of discs (e.g. CD-R for professional recordings) is not possible. There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs: CD-R(W) discs have a compatibility to play/record on the CDRecorders based on the ORENGE BOOK Part II/III. But the discs might not be able to be played/recorded properly depending on the combinations of the discs and CD-Recorders. 1 CD Recordable Audio (record once): Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R discs can be played on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-R discs. A CD-R disc can be recognized by the following logo: Unpacking First check the contents of the packaging. It should contain the following: - CD-Recorder DR4050 - Remote control with batteries packaged separately - Audio cables (2 - with red and white plugs) - Power cord - Instructions - Guarantee If one of these components is missing, please inform your supplier immediately. Save the packaging material it may come in handy if you move the appliance. Setup Place the recorder on a strong, vibration-free surface. Do not use the recorder under extremely damp conditions. If the recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the recorder for proper ventilation. Attention! Recordable Recordable If the appliance is not used or operated in accordance with the instructions, this may result in exposure to dangerous radiation or other risks. Only authorized technicians are allowed to open the appliance casing or to perform repairs or maintenance. 2 CD ReWritable Audio (multiple recording): Recorded and finalized audio CD-RW discs can be played on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-RW discs. An increasing number of players and recorders will be suitable for these discs in the future. A CD-RW disc can be recognized by the following logo: Compact discs The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back. Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the DR4050 reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records. Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side. To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations: - In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater. - In a place which is damp or dirty. - In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window. Always keep the disc surface clean. Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below. ReWritable ReWritable The CD-R(W)disc for `DIGITAL AUDIO' can be both recording and playing on this CD-Recorder. In addition, this CD-Recorder can play the CD-R(W) disc for `PROFESSIONAL RECORDING', but cannot record it. Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it is to `make' your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use an erasable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first attempt, while following the instructions given here. Attention! Recordings may only be made for personal use. It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, including computer programs, films, television and audio recordings. This appliance may not be used for applications of this type. Note: Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R(W) discs because of the low reflectivity of such discs. Because of laser power differences, some DVD players cannot play the finalized CD-R(W) discs. Read the text carefully and keep the instructions close at hand so that you can refer to them if necessary. · Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases. 6 Page 6 00.7.11, 10:14 PM GENERAL INFORMATION AND DISCS · Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may result. This manual gives instructions for operating this CD recorder where: - the figures (1) throughout the text indicate a sequence of actions necessary to perform a certain operation; the arrows (§) indicate the reaction from the recorder; the dots (·) indicate remarks, advice or special options within a sequence of actions. The dot-marked instructions are not necessary for the required operation. · Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen. · Do not use a disc with a special shape. Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a heartshaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equipment malfunction may result. Maintenance Clean the CD-Recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect. Do not expose the CD-Recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CDR input on your amplifier. For external recording the following inputs are present: - Digital optical input; - Digital coaxial input; - Analog input. For playback of CD player deck separately (DJ mode) from the CD recorder the following outputs are present: - Digital coaxial output (CD); - Analog output (CD). We advise you to connect these to the CD input on your amplifier. The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first. Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track). (The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances). If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will ensure very good audio performance when recordings are made from the analog input. Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a very good sound quality via the analog output. We advise you to always establish both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital recording is not possible. We have described the most common ways of connecting the CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the connections you can always contact the Marantz Consumer Service desk in your country. 11 INSTALLATION Analog connections CD recorder & CD player This connection must be made for playback on the CD recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 2). Cable 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from an external analog source. Analog connections CD player deck This connection is only required if you want to playback on the CD player deck seperately from the CD recorder deck. This will be the case in DJ-mode. English Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets. 1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOG INsockets on the CD recorder and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUTsockets of an amplifier. Note: For recording directly from a CD player, the analog input of the CD recorder should be connected to the analog output of the CD player. 2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOG OUTsockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CDR or AUX. Note: Never use the PHONO input. 1 For separate playback on the CD player deck, connect a third cable 3 (not supplied) between the ANALOG OUT sockets of the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. CD, or AUX. (Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L socket.) Note: - Never use the PHONO input. - Your CD recorder/player is equipped with a digital coaxial output for the CD player deck. This output can be used for digital playback. 12 INSTALLATION English 13 Digital coaxial connections CD recorder This connection is only required if you want to make recordings from an external CD player with a digital coaxial output. Digital optical connections CD recorder This connection is only required if you want to make recordings from an external CD player with a digital optical output. Use the optional digital coaxial cable. 1 For external recording, connect the cable 4 between the DIGITAL IN-socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUTsocket of an external CD player. Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial output (common output for CD recorder & CD player deck). This output can be used for digital playback. 1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection. (We recommend you save the cap.) 2 For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cable 5 between the digital optical input of the CD recorder and the digital-optical output of an external CD player. Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog outputs of the CD Player and CD recorder should be connected to an amplifier. When connecting the Digital Optical cable, make sure it is fully inserted until there is a click. INSTALLATION Power supply Inserting batteries in the remote control English 1 Plug the power cord supplied into the MAINS connector on the CD recorder, then into a mains socket. 2 Press ON/OFF. § The CD recorder will switch on. Note: - If the CD recorder is in Standby mode (red led on), press any key to activate the recorder. - The CD recorder will automatically adjust to the local mains voltage. - When the CD recorder is in the `OFF' position, it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from the AC outlet. 1 Open the battery compartment cover. 2 Insert 2 batteries ("AA", LR-6 or UM-3; as supplied) as shown. 3 Replace the cover. Note: We recommend you use 2 batteries of the same type and condition. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly. Setup recommendations - Place the CD recorder on a solid, vibration free surface. - Do not place the CD recorder near a source of heat or in direct sunlight. - Do not use the CD recorder under extremely damp conditions. - If the CD recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the CD recorder for proper ventilation. Important: - Do not put the CD recorder on top of other equipment that heats up the CD recorder (e.g. receiver or amplifier). 14 REMOTE CONTROL English TOTAL REM TRACK TIME STEP RECORD CD Remote control commands Inserting discs SCAN SHUFFLE REPEAT ABC DEF GHI 1 JKL 2 MN 3 OPQ 4 RST 5 UVW 6 XYZ 7 TRACK INCR. 8 SPACE 9 SCROLL 0 CDR CD 2 9 § 6 ; 5 MENU/ STORE ENTER CANCEL PROG. 1 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray. § OPEN lights up.

We will describe: - Recording from internal CD player deck: high speed or listen mode. - Recording from an external CD player deck: syncronized start with CD player or manual start. (analog or digital). · If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized you must unfinalize it first. · The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs. · If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that recording can start from there. · CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and during recording. · CD text can not be recorded from an external CD player. (Text information is not available on the output of the CD player.) · The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the internal CD player deck. (If not subjected to copy protection.)
