Listening For A Lifetime

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. VocoPro 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 a higher volume 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.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.

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. 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.

Some common decibel ranges:

Level: Example

• 30 Quiet library, Soft whispers
• 40 Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
• 50 Light traffic, Normal Conversation
• 60 Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
• 70 Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
• 80 Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.

The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Level: Example

• 90 Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
• 100 Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill
• 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers
• 140 Gunshot blast, Jet plane
• 180 Rocket launching pad

Recording onto a Disc

Preparing to Record

• If using a CD-R, make sure that there is not already data stored on the disc as you will be unable to burn anything onto it.
• If you are going to rewrite onto a CD-RW*, be sure to erase the data using the ERASE feature on the CDR-1000 PRO before recording. See the Erasing instructions in this manual.
• If using an 8cm CD-R/RW disc, you must use the Digital input on the rear panel of the CDR-1000 PRO. The Analog input does not support 8cm CD-R/RW.

NOTE: Be sure that your disc is clean and in good shape for recording. Excessive dust, scratches, markings, etc. could prevent successful recording.

NOTE: Make sure all players or mixers are connected to the proper inputs and outputs of the CDR-1000 PRO.

Most standard CD players (Car audio, home audio, etc.) do not support CD-RW discs. If using CD-RW discs, make sure that your CD player specifies that it is CD-RW compatible.

Recording

1. Switch the CDR-1000 PRO to Record Mode by pressing the RECORD button.
2. To begin recording press the START button. The LCD display will say RECORDING and show the track num-ber along with the elapsed recording time.

To create a track

1. While the disc is already recording, press the RECORD button.
2. Recording will pause for 5 seconds.
3. The track number will change and the disc will begin recording on a new track.

NOTE: The CDR-1000 PRO will not automatically change to a new track when copying a CD.

Finalizing a Disc

After you have finished recording onto a disc, you will need to FINALIZE it so that it will be compatible with standard disc players. If a disc has not been finalized, it can only be played back in the CDR-1000 PRO.

NOTE: The CDR-1000 PRO must be in Playback Mode in order to finalize a disc. Make sure it is not in Record Mode.
