ACT DISC RECORDER
1. Insert a recordable disc (CD-R or CD-RW)
2. Use the INPUT SELECTOR to select either the OPTICAL or COAX digital input depending on how you
have connected the source machine to your CDR830.
3. If necessary adjust the DIGITAL RECORD LEVEL by accessing D.VOL in the MENU (Function 5).
PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST COMMERCIAL RECORDINGS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR LEVEL AND SO IT IS
NOT NECESSARY TO ADJUST DIGITAL RECORD LEVEL. Use this control when the signal level is too
low or when you want to equalise the level of several tracks.
4. Start the recording manually by pressing RECORD. The CDR830 will first display the type of
machine connected to the input (e.g. DAT, CD, MD,) and then display the sample rate of the
source material (32, 44.1, 48K). The machine will then flash SET-UP in the display whilst it is
performing its Optimum Power Calibration (OPC). Once set-up has stopped flashing, press the PLAY
button to start recording. Press STOP to finish the recording.
OR
• Start the recording automatically using SYNCHRO.
• Ensure that the source material is not playing otherwise CHECK INPUT? will appear in the display.
• Press SYNCHRO to select SYNC-1 which automatically copies 1 track (useful for compilations).
• Press SYNCHRO again to select SYNC-ALL which is used to copy all tracks automatically.
• Press SYNCHRO again to select SYNC-FINAL which is the same as SYNC-ALL except that the disc
will, in addition, be finalized automatically about 1 minute after recording has finished. Press STOP
at any time to manually terminate the recording.
When recording finishes, the display will show PMA REC whilst the Programme Memory Area is
written. DO NOT DISTURB OR SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE DURING THIS PROCESS.
• The CDR830 employs an intelligent track numbering scheme which adapts to the type of signal being
recorded. It is also used to determine how the machine starts automatically in SYNCHRO mode.
• The following table shows how this scheme works.
HOW TO RECORD USING DIGITAL INPUTS TRACK NUMBERING IN SYNCHRO & NORMAL MODES
1. Insert a recordable disc (CD-R or CD-RW)
2. Use the INPUT SELECTOR to select the analogue input.
3. Adjust the record level using the ANALOG REC LEVEL control preferably so that the signal peaks as
close to '0' dBFS without going 'OVER'.
4. Start the recording manually by first pressing RECORD. The CDR830 will first display ANALOG and
will then flash SET-UP in the display whilst it is performing OPC. Once set-up has stopped flashing,
press the PLAY button to start recording. Press STOP to finish the recording.

1.Insert a recorded disc and press PLAY. The display will show the 4 symbol.
2.Use the 7 and 8 to rewind and fast forward respectively.
3.Turn the DIGITAL RECORD LEVEL, 9 : during playback to skip backwards or forwards to a different
track.
4.Use the supplied remote control to start playback from a particular INDEX number (see operations
manual).
HOW TO PLAY BACK
• In SYNCHRO recording mode, if the source is 16-bit, recording will automatically stop if the level falls below
-96dBFS for 5 seconds or more.
• If the source is 24-bit, recording will automatically stop when the level falls below -90dBFS for 5 seconds
or more. This is due to the built in dithering circuitry of the CDR830.
AUTO-STOP FUNCTION
1. There are 5 Erase modes for CD-RW; ERASE TOC (Un-finalizes a CD-RW)
ERASE LAST (Erases last track)
ERASE ALL (Erases all tracks)
ERASE RANGE (Erases a range of tracks)
INITIALIZE (see page 38 of the operations manual)
2. Press ERASE, then use 9 : to select the required erase mode.
3. Press PLAY.
