En/Fr Features of the PDR-509 CD Recorder Particularités de l’enregistreur CD PDR-509 Create your own audio CDs Créez vos propres CD audio At last, there's a convenient and affordable way to make your own audio CDs. Create your own original recordings, or put together compilations of your favorite tracks from your existing CDs. You might also want to put your vinyl collection onto CD to take advantage of the superior portability, convenience and durability of CDs over vinyl records. Other uses include making high-quality recordings from radio or satellite broadcasts, and making personal copies of CDs, MDs, etc. to keep in the car, keeping the originals safe at home. Enfin, un moyen pratique et abordable de faire ses propres CD! Créez vos propres enregistrements originaux, ou bien compilez vos plages préférées à partir de CD existants. Vous pouvez aussi mettre votre collection de disques en vinyle sur CD pour profiter de la facilité de transport, de la commodité et de la durabilité des CD par rapport aux disques en vinyle. D’autres usages comprennent: faire des enregistrements de haute qualité d’émissions diffusées par la radio ou par satellite, réaliser des copies personnelles de CD, MD etc. pour votre voiture, en gardant les originaux en sûreté chez vous. Make digital recordings from any source Faites des enregistrements numériques de n’importe quelle source The PDR-509 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it to almost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter, you can make direct digital recordings from satellite (usually 32kHz), DCC and DAT (up to 48kHz), as well as CD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only) enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs, too. Analog sources are also catered for with the analog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard audio components such as cassette decks and turntables. High-quality analog-to-digital conversion, paired with CD's excellent dynamic range and broad frequency capabilities, results in recordings that are virtually indistinguishable from the original. Use both ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable CDs Ordinary recordable CDs (CD–R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discs and the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for many applications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD–RW, is a more recent type of recordable CD that allows erasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use the discs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD–R**.

Before CD–Rs can be played on ordinary CD players, they must be 'finalized' (a process that fixes the contents of the disc so that no further recording is possible). While most CD players should have no problems with CD–R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), the player may not be able to read some CD–R discs. ** At the time of writing, most ordinary CD players cannot play CD– RW discs. Check in the instructions that came with the player for compatibility.

• Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the battery compartment cover off.
• Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus and minus ends of each battery with the markings inside the compartment.
• Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.

En/Fr Before You Start About CD, CD–R and CD–RW Discs The PDR–509 is compatible with three different 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. Consumer-use discs The PDR–509 is only compatible with special consumer-use CD–R and CD–RW discs. These are clearly marked For Music Use Only, For Consumer, or For Consumer Use. Other types of CD–R or CD–RW discs, such as those available for computer-based CD recorders, will not work with this recorder. Pioneer has checked the following branded discs for compatibility with this recorder (as of May 1999):

• Eastman Kodak Company
• FUJI PHOTO FILM CO., LTD.
• PIONEER ELECTRONIC CORPORATION Sample discs from the following makers have also been checked for compatibility (as of May 1999):
• RICOH COMPANY, LTD.*
• At the time of writing, discs branded under these names are not available. Note: Discs from all of the above makers may also be sold under different brand names.

En/Fr Avant le démarrage A propos des disques CD, CDR et CD-RW Le PDR-509 est compatible avec trois différents types de disque compact: CD de lecture seulement Cet appareil peut lire tout disque CD audio ordinaire portant la marque Compact Disc Digital Audio à droite. Disques CD enregistrables Les CD enregistrables ou CD-R portent la marque indiquée à droite, et sont ‘enregistrables une fois’. Cela signifie que ce qui est enregistré sur le disque est permanent - il ne peut pas être réenregistré ou effacé. Disques CD réenregistrables Les CD réenregistrables, ou CD-RW, portent la marque indiquée à droite. Comme le nom l’indique, vous pouvez effacer et réenregistrer des matériaux sur ces disques pour qu’ils puissent être utilisés encore et encore. Disques grand public Le PDR-509 est seulement compatible avec des CD-R et CD-RW grand public. Ils sont clairement marqués For Music Use Only, For Consumer ou For Consumer Use. D’autres types de disques CDR ou CD-RW, tels que ceux disponibles pour les enregistreurs CD à base informatique, ne fonctionneront pas sur cet enregistreur. Pioneer a vérifié la compatibilité des disques des marques suivants avec cet enregistreur (en mai 1999):

• Eastman Kodak Company

✘ Recordable* ✔Erasable ✘ Skip ID set/clear* ✘ Playable in ordinary CD player** Once the CD–RW has been erased, it becomes recordable again and skip IDs can be set and cleared. ** In general, current CD players cannot play CD–RW discs. However, this situation may change. The process of finalization fixes the contents of a CD–R in place for good by creating a Table of Contents (TOC, for short) at the beginning of the disc which tells other players exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. Once a CD–R is finalized, further recording and other changes become impossible. The CD recorder and other CD players treat a finalized disc as an ordinary playback-only CD. (See page 53 for more information on finalizing CD-recordable discs.) CD-rewritable discs can be finalized in the same way as CD–R discs, but even after finalization, the disc can still be erased and used over again. Remember that CD–RW discs can only be played on players that are specifically designed to play CD–RW discs: most home CD players will not play these discs, even after the disc has been finalized. (See page 53 for more information on finalizing CD-rewritable discs.)

Introduction to CD Recording The PDR-509 is designed to let you make extremely high quality digital recordings onto recordable compact discs. For flexibility, you can use either rewritable discs (CD–RW) or write-once discs (CD–R). For more general information on the discs you can and can’t use with this recorder, see About CD, CD–R and CD–RW Discs on page 8. The overview on this and the following page gives you some idea of what the PDR-509 is capable of, and also provides guidance on what to avoid and things to be careful of when recording. We strongly recommend that you read these pages fully before proceeding to the more detailed instructions on the following pages.

En/Fr Lecture et enregistrement de base En mode d’arrêt, appuyez sur 4 ou ¢ ou tournez la bague jog pour afficher les informations sur la longueur des pistes individuelles. Chaque pression fait avancer ou reculer d’une plage sur le disque et indique la longueur de la plage. Pressez DISP OFF pour changer de mode d’affichage. Chaque pression commute entre les modes d’affichage comme suit: Vumètre seulement désactivé = afficheur désactivé = affichage normal ❖ En mode afficheur désactivé, l’indicateur au-dessus de la touche s’allume pour vous rappeler que l’afficheur est désactivé. ❖ Chaque pression de la touche T I M E quand l’afficheur est désactivé affiche pendant quelques secondes les informations sur le disque. ❖ La désactivation de l’affichage est impossible en mode d’enregistrement ou pause d’enregistrement. Présentation de l’enregistrement de CD Le PDR-509 est conçu pour faire des enregistrements numériques de très haute qualité sur des disques compacts enregistrables. Pour plus de souplesse, vous pouvez utiliser des disques réenregistrables (CD-RW) ou des disques enregistrables une fois (CD-R). Pour plus d’informations générales sur les disques utilisables ou non sur cet enregistreur, voir A propos des disques CD, CD-R et CD-RW à la page 8. L’aperçu sur cette page et la suivante vous donne une idée de ce que le PDR-509 est capable de faire et vous donne aussi des indications sur ce qu’il faut éviter et ce à quoi il faut faire attention lors de l’enregistrement. Nous vous recommandons de lire attentivement ces pages avant de passer aux instructions plus détaillées dans les pages suivantes. Cet appareil a été conçu exclusivement pour l’enregistrement et la lecture des disques audio - vous ne pouvez pas enregistrer d’autres formats CD, tels que CD-ROM d’ordinateur ou Dolby Digital (AC-3). Si vous enregistrer d’un format de disque tel que CD+GRAPHICS, VIDEO-CD ou un autre format incluant à la fois son et vidéo numérique ou texte, il vous sera seulement possible d’enregistrer la partie son du disque. Outre les CD audio standard, cet enregistreur enregistrera toutefois des CD codés DTS et des CD HDCD. Presque tous les matériaux de source numérique commercialisés sont protégés par des lois sur les droits d’auteur. Pour cette raison, le PDR-509 utilise des disques vierges spéciaux “grand public” CD-R et CD-RW pour lesquels les droits d’auteur ont déjà été acquittés. Une autre limite vient de la forme SCMS (un acronyme de Serial Copy Management System). Il permet ordinairement seulement une “génération” d’enregistrement numérique. Autrement dit, vous pouvez faire un enregistrement numérique d’une source originale (telle que CD commercialisé), mais vous ne pouvez pas faire d’autres enregistrements numériques de cette copie. La plupart des équipements d’enregistrement numérique utilisent le système SCMS, y compris les enregistreurs CD et MD, et les platines DAT. Vous vous rendrez aussi compte que vous ne pouvez pas enregistrer certains disques DVD parce que la sortie numérique du lecteur DVD peut être invalidée par le disque. Bien entendu, si vous rencontrez des limitations SDCMS ou d’autres limitations de copie numérique, vous pouvez toujours enregistrer via les entrées analogiques du PDR-509. Pour vérifier si une source est protégée contre la copie numérique ou non, voir Contrôle de la protection contre la copie numérique d’un disque à la page 52. Recording modes Modes d’enregistrement The recorder is equipped with a set of analog input terminals, as well as both optical and coaxial digital inputs. This means that the PDR–509 is compatible with almost all audio sources—analog or digital. It even has a built in sampling rate converter making it ideal for recording DAT tapes or satellite broadcasts, for example, which are often at sampling rates different to that of CD. Since CDs are always recorded at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, sample rate conversion is completely automatic—if the recorder senses a digital signal at either 32 or 48kHz, it will convert it to 44.1kHz. Note that this recorder can't convert 96kHz digital sources (such as some DAT tapes and DVD discs). There are five recording modes available—four for digital-input recording, and one analog-input record mode. The table below provides a brief summary of each.. Cet enregistreur est équipé d’un lot de prises d’entrée analogique, ainsi que d’entrées numériques optiques et coaxiales. Cela signifie que le PDR509 est compatible avec la plupart des sources audio - analogiques ou numériques. Il est même pourvu d’un convertisseur de fréquence d’échantillonnage, ce qui le rend idéal par exemple pour l’enregistrement de cassettes DAT ou d’émissions transmises par satellite, qui ont souvent des fréquences d’échantillonnage différentes de celles des CD. Comme les CD sont toujours enregistrés à une fréquence d’échantillonage de 44,1 kHz, la conversion de la fréquence d’échantillonnage est totalement automatique - si l’enregistreur détecte un signal numérique de 32 ou 48 kHz, il le convertit à 44,1 kHz. Notez que cet enregistreur ne peut pas convertir des sources numériques 96 kHz (telles que certaines cassettes DAT et les disques DVD). Cinq modes d’enregistrement sont disponibles - quatre pour l’enregistrement à entrée numérique, et un mode d’enregistrement à entrée analogique. Le tableau ci-dessous donne une bref résumé de chacun. Français Limites des enregistrements numériques This unit has been designed exclusively for recording and playback of audio discs—you can’t record other CD formats, such as computer CD-ROMs or Dolby Digital (AC-3). If you record from a disc format such as CD+GRAPHICS, VIDEO-CD, or other format that includes both digital audio and video or text, you will only be able to record the audio part of the disc. In addition to standard audio CDs, this recorder will record DTS encoded audio CDs and HDCD format CDs, however. Almost all commercial digital source material is protected by copyright laws. For this reason, the PDR-509 uses special consumer-use blank CD-R and CD-RW discs on which a copyright fee has already been paid. A further restriction comes in the form of SCMS (an acronym for Serial Copy Management System). This generally allows just one generation of digital recording. In other words, you can make a digital recording from an original source (such as a commercial CD), but you can’t then make further digital recordings from that copy. Most digital recording equipment uses the SCMS system, including CD and MD recorders, and DAT decks. You may also find that you can’t record certain DVD discs as the digital output of the DVD player can be disabled by the disc. Of course, if you do encounter SCMS or other digital-copy restrictions, you can always record through the analog inputs of the PDR-509. To check whether a source is digital-copy protected, see Checking for Digital Copy Protection on page 52.

Once the track has finished, the recorder stops recording Good for recording edited versions of CDs, MDs, DATs or DCC tapes. Full instructions on pages 31, 32. Automatic digital-input alltrack synchro recording Recording starts after the recorder senses an input signal, and continues until all tracks on the source have finished. The recorder then stops automatically Good for recording complete CDs, MDs, DATs or DCC tapes. Full instructions on pages 33, 34. Automatic finalization recording As automatic digital-input all-track synchro recording, above, with automatic finalization of the disc after all tracks have been recorded Good for recording complete CDs, MDs, DATs or DCC tapes when you don't want to record anything else on the disc afterwards. Full instructions on pages 35, 36. Manual digital-input recording Recording start and stop is completely under the user's control Useful for recording digital sources other than CD, MD, DAT or DCC, which may not have track numbers (digital satellite broadcasts, for example). Full instructions on pages 37, 38. Analog-input recording Records any analog audio source through the analog inputs. Unlike digital-input recording, you must set the recording levels, as you would with analog tape. As well as analog sources, such as vinyl records, this mode can be used for digital sources that are digital-copy protected. Full instructions on pages 40,

Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose one of the digital inputs. Pressing I N P U T SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input: Analog - Optical - Coaxial The recorder's display indicates the current input.

Make sure that the source is not playing, then press DIGITAL SYNCHRO. Digital synchro recording will not work if the source is already playing! The S Y N C indicator will start to blink when the recorder is ready.

Play the source. The recorder starts recording automatically.

The recorder enters record-pause mode after recording one track. ❖ If you're recording a CD or MD, recording stops automatically when the track changes or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source. ❖ If you're recording from DCC or DAT tape, recording stops when the recorder encounters a new start ID or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source. (See also Notes on Digital recording from DAT on page 29.)

En/Fr If you want to copy all the tracks from a CD, MD, DCC or DAT, use this mode. Like the 1-track synchro recording mode, the recorder starts and stops automatically. When recording from MD or CD, you can play the source in either normal play mode, or program play if you’d like the recorded tracks in a different order to the original. We do not recommend recording from a DAT in program play mode—use the 1-track synchro recording mode if you want to record the tracks in a different order. If you are simply duplicating a source disc or tape, you’ll probably want to finalize the CD–R (or CD–RW) after all-track sync recording so that it’s ready to be played on other CD players. To finalize the disc automatically once recording has finished, see Automatically Recording and Finalizing a Disc on the pages 35,36. If you're recording from a digital source other than CD, MD, DCC or DAT, see Manually Recording from a Digital Source on pages 37,38. If you’re recording from any source through the analog inputs, see Recording an Analog Source on pages 40,41.

Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose one of the digital inputs. Pressing I N P U T SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input: Analog - Optical - Coaxial The recorder's display indicates the current input.

Play the source. The recorder starts recording automatically.

After recording all tracks from the source, the recorder goes into all-sync record-pause mode. After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence, it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into record-pause mode and the display shows the A LS Y N C message again. Be careful: if the recorder detects another signal (CD or MD) or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again! ❖ The recorder will enter record-pause mode if the digital signal is interrupted for more than 5 seconds—see Digital signal interruptions on page 29.

Play the source. The recorder starts recording automatically.

After recording all tracks on the source, the recorder starts finalizing the disc. After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence, it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into all-sync record-pause mode. If the recorder detects no signal for one minute, finalization starts (no more recording is possible after this so make sure that there aren’t any spaces of more than one minute during the source you’re recording). Be careful: if the recorder detects another signal (CDor MD) or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again! Finalization takes about four minutes, during which time none of the buttons are operative. Never turn the power off during finalization! ❖ If the digital signal is interrupted, the recorder continues recording. However, if no signal has been detected within five seconds, the recorder stops recording and will not finalize the disc— see Digital signal interruptions on page 29. ❖ If the recorder reaches the end of the disc, or if there are more than 99 tracks, the recorder stops recording without finalizing the disc.

Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose one of the digital inputs. Pressing I N P U T SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input: Analog - Optical - Coaxial The recorder's display indicates the current input.

Start playing the source to check it’s recordable. If the recorder does not recognize the digital format, or the source is copy-protected using SCMS, the message C A N N O T R E C or C A N N O T C O P Y appears. In either case, you won't be able to record digitally—use the analog inputs instead (see Recording an Analog Souce on the pages 40,41). If necessary, set the recording level (set the pages 38,39). If the signal appears OK, stop the source.

En/Fr Basic Playback and Recording

Restart playback of the source material. If the A U T O T R A C K indicator is lit in the display then the recorder will start a new track each time it detects a signal at least two seconds of continuous silence. (To switch off auto track numbering see page 48.)

En/Fr Basic Playback and Recording Lecture et enregistrement de base Recording an Analog Source Enregistrement d’une source analogique Recording through the analog inputs follows much the same procedure as recording via a digital input. The only difference is that you have to set the recording level. This determines how loud the recording will be when you play it back (for any given amplifier volume level). If you’re used to recording on analog cassette, the idea is exactly the same, but with CD–R you have to be much more careful not to overload the signal. Compared to analog tape, the distortion that you get from overloading a CD is much less tolerable, and something you’ll definitely want to avoid. On the other hand, recording the signal very quietly will result in lower sound quality than CD is capable of, so that’s not very good either—although it is better to under-record a CD than to over-record it. What you want to aim for is a level where the loudest sound from your source material is recorded onto the CD at a level just below the point where it overloads (producing an unpleasant, buzzy distortion).

Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

Démarrez la lecture de la source. The maximum recording level should be in this area. When you’re happy with the recording level, stop the source material. The outer ring controls the left record level; the inner dial controls the right. Usually, set both at the same level so that the relative levels match the source.

En/Fr Additional Playback Features Programming the Track Order Programming the track order means telling the player precisely which tracks, and in what order, you want played. You can program a sequence of up to 24 steps (each step can contain either a track or a pause in the program), playing tracks more than once if you like. The sequence you program applies only to the disc in the player at the time: as soon as you eject that disc the program memory is lost.

If it plays OK then get the pickup lens on the original player cleaned. If digital synchro-recording fails to operate correctly, check the following:

1. Pause playback of the source, then press the DIGITAL SYNCHRO button again.

÷ If you’re recording from a portable CD player, etc., make sure that the shock-protection feature is switched off.

2. Start playback of the source component once you see the SYNCHRO indicator start to blink.

3. If none of the above solves the problem, use manual digital recording to record.

÷ Digital synchro-recording uses a digital sub-signal contained in the source player’s digital output. Digital synchro-recording will not work when recording from the following devices: ÷ CD players whose digital output does not include a sub-signal ÷ Portable CD, MD or DVD players which do not output a digital signal when stopped.
