The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. . [. . . ] The trimmer beside each connector can be used to set the output level precisely to match the level expected by the equipment connected to the tape deck. The "standard" setting (and the condition in which the unit is shipped from the factory) is with these trimmers set to +4 dBu. [17] RECORD key This key is used for recording on a recordable disc. It is also used when erasing and finalizing discs. [18] SYNC START key This key allows synchronized recording when digital audio data is received at the selected input (either the coaxial or optical inputs). When the SYNC 1 setting is selected, the recorder will start recording as soon as digital audio data starts to be received at the input jack, and will continue until the data signifying the start of the next track is received. When the SYNC ALL setting is selected, the CD-RW5000 will start recording as soon as digital audio data is received at the input, and will continue until data recording is stopped manually, or until no further audio signals are received. [21] DIGITAL INPUT (AES/EBU) This XLR-type connector accepts digital audio data in standard AES/EBU format. [22] ANALOG INPUT (UNBALANCED) These RCA connectors accept unbalanced analog audio signals at ­10 dBV levels (consumer level). [23] ANALOG OUTPUT (UNBALANCED) These RCA connectors output unbalanced analog audio signals at ­10 dBV levels. TASCAM CD-RW5000 11 2 - Parts of the CD-RW5000 [24] COAXIAL digital INPUT This RCA connector accepts digital audio data in SPDIF format. Input signals are active when low (ground) for 30 ms. [25] COAXIAL digital OUTPUT This RCA connector outputs digital audio data in SPDIF format. [29] REMOTE IN connector This connector is used for the RC-RW5000 remote control unit supplied with the CD-RW5000. Do not attempt to connect any other kind of remote control unit to this connector. [26] OPTICAL digital INPUT This optical connector allows input of digital audio data in SPDIF format. [27] OPTICAL digital OUTPUT This optical connector outputs digital audio data in SPDIF format. 2. 3 RC-RW5000 remote control unit NOTE If these optical connectors are not being used, keep them covered with the dust caps supplied with the unit. [28] CONTROL I/O This 15-pin 'D'-sub connector is used for connection to a suitably-equipped controller. The pinouts of this connector are given below: Pin number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 STOP TALLY REC-PLAY TALLY SKIP (forward) SKIP (back) REC-PAUSE TALLY REC Track increment Ground PLAY TALLY PAUSE TALLY N/C STOP PLAY PAUSE N/C Signal OUT OUT IN IN OUT IN IN -- OUT OUT -- IN IN IN -- Direction For the most part, the keys on the remote control unit duplicate many of the keys on the main unit. However, there is a set of number keys which can be used for programmed playback, or to start playback at a particular track number. There are also some additional keys available, which are not provided on the main unit. 12 TASCAM CD-RW5000 2 - Parts of the CD-RW5000 The remote control unit keys are listed here, together with the number (in square brackets) of the corresponding key on the main unit, when these keys are identical in function to those on the main unit. When these keys have a different function, or are additional to those on the main unit, an explanation of their function is provided. [37] SYNC START key See [18]. [38] AUTO/MANUAL See [7]. [39] TRACK INCR key When the track increment function is in manual mode, as selected with the AUTO/MANUAL key [7], pressing this key while a disc is being recorded will increment the current track number. See 4. 4, "Manual track division" and 4. 4, "Manual track division" for details. This is equivalent to pressing the RECORD key on the main unit [17] when recording a disc. This key has no effect in playback mode. [30] OPEN/CLOSE key See [4]. [31] Number keys These number keys are used to select tracks for programmed playback, or to select a particular track to play. See section 3, "Playback operations", for details of how to perform these operations. When entering track numbers greater than nine, the two keys corresponding to the digits that compose the track number should be pressed in quick7 succession. For instance, when entering track number 14, first press the 1 key, quickly followed by the 4 key. [40] SKIP keys See [13]. [41] SEARCH keys These three keys allow fast playback in either the forward or backward direction in order to assist precise location of a point on a disc, similar to the cue and review modes on a tape recorder. Pressing the or Ô key will start playback at twice normal speed in either the forward or backward direction respectively. Pressing the FAST key, followed by the or Ô key, will start playback at eight times normal speed in either the forward or reverse direction, respectively. [32] REPEAT key This key works in the same way as the repeat key on conventional CD players. Repeated presses of this key will cycle between the following repeat modes: repeating the current track (REPEAT 1), repeating the whole disc (REPEAT ALL), and no repeat. [33] PGM key Use this key in conjunction with the number keys for programmed playback, as described in 3. 3. 1, "Programmed playback". [42] STOP key See [14]. [34] DISPLAY key See [6]. [43] PLAY key See [15]. [35] FINALIZE key See [11]. [44] PAUSE key See [16]. [36] ERASE key See [12]. [45] RECORD key See [17]. TASCAM CD-RW5000 13 3 - Playback operations This section gives details of the basic operations you can perform when using the CD-RW5000 to play back CDs. Playing back CDs on the CD-RW5000 is similar to playing back CDs on any other CD player.
