About CD, CD-R and
CD-RW discs
The CDR-830 is compatible with four types of
compact disc:
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
Your HHB CDR-830 Professional CD Recorder is
designed to operate with a broad range of CD-R
or CD-RW media. However, for consistently high
quality results and superior archiving stability, we
recommend that you ask your dealer for these
commercially available CD-R or CD-RW discs
from HHB.

You may also use consumer audio CD-R and CD-
RW discs with this recorder.
Storing discs
Although CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs are very
durable, 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. Use only labels that are designed
specifically for CD use. Don't glue paper or put
other stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-
point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument. These could all damage the disc.
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 HHB 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.
Discs to avoid
This recorder is not compatible with 90-minute
CD-Rs or High Speed CD-RW discs. Do not use
either type of disc with this recorder.
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 CDR-830 is designed for use with conven-
tional, fully circular CD’s only. Use of shaped CD’s
is not recommended for this product. HHB
disclaims all liability arising in connection with the
use of shaped CD’s.
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.
