About Compact Discs
T here are two types of recordable discs:
CD-R (record once)
CD-R discs are only able to be recorded onto a
single time but will playback in most CD play-
ers.
CD-R discs can be recognized by the following
logos:
CD-RW (multiple recording)
CD-RW discs are able to be recorded onto
many times but will only playback in CD players
offering CD-RW compatibility. Products that
offer CD-RW compatibility are available from
Marantz Professional. Please contact your
dealer for more information on these products.
CD-RW discs can be recognized by the follow-
ing logos:
Notes:
• Some DVD players cannot playback CD-R
discs and some cannot playback CD-RW
discs because of laser power differences.
• Some CD players may be able to playback
finalized CD-RW discs.
• Some CD players can not play finalized CD-R
discs because of the low reflectivity of such
discs.
Which discs to use:
The CDR510 is able to record onto any 1X
compatible CD-R and CD-RW disc, including
discs for Consumer use and Professional (com-
puter) discs.
The CDR510 records according to the Orange
Book specification. Every CDR disc sold should
Recordable Recordable
be according to the Orange Book specification
and therefore compatible with the CDR510.
In practice however, the quality of the recording
depends on the match between the disc used
and the writing strategy of the recorder. At 1X
speed (stand alone audio) the match between
disc and recorder is
important. Higher recording
speeds are less critical in terms of recording quality.
Consumer CD Recorders can only record on CDR
Audio discs and those discs are optimized for single
speed automatically. Professional CD Recorders can
use both Audio and Data discs. When using Data
discs, one should take care to use discs with a good
single speed compatibility.
Recording Capacity:
Discs with higher capacity than 80 minutes are out of
the Orange Book standard and may perform below
your expectations.
Compact disc care
The glossy side is the record side of the disc, and
matted (dull) side is the label side.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch
the record side.
Avoid placing discs in the following locations:
• In direct sunlight or near a source of heat such as
a heater.
• In a place that is damp or dirty.
• In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as
near a window.
Disc cleaning
Always keep the disc surface clean. Up to six billion
data units are recorded on the record side of the disc.
When cleaning the disc surface always be sure to use
a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown
below.
Wipe in a radial
direction.
Do not wipe in
circumferential
direction.
