About this manual This manual intends to be used as a guide for using the Fostex CR500 CD- R/RW master recorder. This manual is written assuming that you have experience of using pro- fessional digital recorders and basic knowledge of digital recording. By reading "Chapter 1: Overview" and "Chapter 3: Names and functions", you may roughly understand the outline of the CR500 and how to use the CR500.

Chapter 3 can be used as the index because we not only briefly describe

functions of each control but also show the page where details are de- scribed. "Chapter 2: Preparation before using the CR500" describes information for using the CR500 for the first time, such as realtime clock setting and initial formatting of the CD-R/RW disc. Precautions + For supplying the power to the unit, only use the Fostex power cable. If you use any other power cable, the unit may not work correctly and there is a serious risk of damage to the unit. + Only use a power cable supplied by Fostex. If you wish to use the unit in a country where the voltage of the AC power outlet does not match your power cable, ask your local Fostex dealer or service station for purchasing an appropriate power cable. Note that the unit can be used both in 50 Hz and 60 Hz areas. + Make sure that the voltage of your AC power outlet matches the voltage requirements of the unit. + When disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the unit [POWER] switch is set to "OFF". Disconnecting the power cable while the power is "ON" may damage memory data because the unit always communicates with memory data. + While the unit is accessing to a disc (for example, during recording), never turn off the power. Make sure that the unit completely stops accessing to the disc before you turn off the power. Otherwise, recorded data may be lost, as well as the disc may be damaged. <Note>: Note that Fostex assumes no responsibility on data loss or whatso- ever due to use of the unit. <Note>: Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect dam- age" caused by using the unit. + Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the unit (especially inside of the disc tray) because this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water enter the inside of the unit, turn off the power, unplug the power cable, and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station.

+ _ Do not drop the unit or give it a strong shock. The internal circuits, display, panels may be damaged. Handle the unit with great care because it is a precision machine. + _ To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the unit, do not remove the cover or reach the inside of the unit. + _ Do not give a strong shock to the LCD display. The liquid used inside the LCD display is toxic. If the liquid is spilled, do not suck it in. If it is stained to your hand or skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. <About replacing the lithium battery> The CR50O uses à lithium battery internally. To replace the battery, ask your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station. If the battery is not cor- rectly replaced, there may be a risk of explosion, etc. Precautions on installation Do not install the unit in the following conditions. In a extremely hot or cold place In a moist place In a shaky or unstable place In a dusty place In a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a magnetic field In the direct sunshine In the direct rain or water HO OH €

+ Notes on moisture condensation When you bring the unit from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense on the drive, display, panels, etc. In such a case, leave the unit for a while until it warms up and evaporates any moisture.

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Overview) The CR500 is a two-track digital master recorder which uses a CD-R or CD-RW disc as a recording medium. The CR500 supports both the BWF-P (interleave) and CD-DA formats for file for- mats of CD-R/RW discs. It also supports the UDF rev.1.02 (Universal Disk Format), CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) and IS09660 file systems, enabling high quality recording and playback (playback only with a IS09660 disc). By finalizing a CD-R/RW disc recorded by the CR500, you can export files on the disc to a PC. You can also play back a finalized CD-DA disc by an audio CD player. The CR500 offers versatile playback functions including auto play and program play. By using these functions, you can also use the CR500 as a long continuous playback machine. + Supporting two recording formats The CR500 supports both the BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) formats as recording formats of CD-R/RW discs. You can record WAV audio files to a BWF formatted disc, and record audio tracks to a CD-DA formatted disc. By closing a BWF disc, you can export a file to a Windows PC and divide the file into two mono-track files using the WAV Manager, a freeware application by Fostex (for details about the WAV Manager, ask your Fostex distributer or dealer). By finalizing a CD-DA disc, you can export tracks to a Windows or Mac OS computer, as well as can play it back by a CD player. <Note>: In this manual, each audio data file recorded on a BWF formatted disc is called an ‘audio file", while each audio data file recorded on a CD-DA formatted disc is called an "audio track". Exportable to Finalized CD-R disc Windows machines <Note>: An audio track recorded on a CD-DA for- matted CD-RW disc may not be played back by a normal CD player.

About Non-shift mode and Shift mode Some keys have the secondary function which is available when the SHIFT indicator is lit (i.e. in the Shift mode), while the primary function is available when the SHIFT indicator is unlit (i.e. in the Non-shift mode). In this manual, we sometimes say "when SHIFTed" and "when unSHIF Ted", instead of "when the SHIFT indicator is lit" (or "in the Shift mode") and "when the SHIFT indicator is unlit" (or "in the Non-shift mode") respectively. Audio file and audio track In this manual, each audio data file recorded on a BWF formatted disc is called an "audio file", while each audio data file recorded on a CD-DA formatted disc is called an “audio track".

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Connection) Connecting to other devices Analog audio device Analog audio device

Digital audio device Digital audio device Fader start Power cable Analog audio connection (balanced/unbalanced) The CR500 is equipped with both the balanced (XLR-3-31) and unbalanced (RCA) TANALOG INPUT] connectors, ensuring broad compatibility. You can connect "+4dBu" signals to the balanced input connectors, while "-10dBV" signals to the unbalanced input connectors. To record analog signals fed to the balanced or unbalanced [ANALOG INPUT] connectors, set the "Input Sel" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode to "Analog" (see page 76). By default, the "Input Sel" menu item is set to "Ana- log". If it is set to "Digital", however, you need to change the setting. The CR500 is also equipped with both the balanced (XLR-3-32) and unbalanced (RCA) TANALOG OUTPUT] connectors, which feed +4dBu and -10dBV analog audio signals respectively. <Note>: When both the balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input connectors of [ANALOG INPUT] are plugged, the unbalanced input signal takes priority (the balanced XLR connector is disabled). Digital audio connection (AES/EBU, S/P DIF) The CR500 is equipped with the [DIGITAL INPUT] (XLR-3-31) connector which accepts digital audio signals of both IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) and IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format. It automatically detects the format (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) of the digital input signal. Regardless of the Fs/bit information of the input signal, the CR500 records the input signal at the Fs/bit which is set when a disc is format- ted. To record a digital signal fed to the [DIGITAL INPUT] connectors set the "Input Sel" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode to "Digital" (see page 76). The CR500 is also equipped with the [DIGITAL OUTPUT] (XLR-3-32) connector which accepts digital audio signals of both IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) and IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format, like the [DIGITAL INPUT] connector. You can set the digital output signal format (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) using the "Digital Out" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode (see page 77). The default setting of the "Digital Out" menu item is "AES/EBU".

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Connection) <Note>: When recording digital audio, if a correct digital signal is fed to the [DIGI- TAL INPUT] connector, PLL (Phased-locked 100p) is active. By entering the record ready mode, the CR500 locks to the input sync signal, while the "DIGITAL" icon on the Home screen changes from flashing to lit. If the unit does not receive a correct digital signal or does not lock to the input sync signal, "DIGITAL" icon on the Home screen remains flashing and the re- corder input is muted. Fader start connection By connecting the [GPI] jack (1/4" phone type) to the fader start port of a mixing console, you can play back and stop the CR500 by fader operation of an exter- nal mixing console. USB keyboard connection The CR500 is equipped with the [USB (KYBD ONLY)] port for USB keyboard con- nection. By connecting a USB keyboard, you can edit a file name or a volume name (Reel Number), change setting, etc. from the keyboard (for the function assignment, see the next page). Also by connecting a USB keyboard, its keys duplicate some of CR500 key operations as shown on the table below. | USB keyboard EH] Er ET] LEA FE CLEFEELETELELTE-- + LT TITI er FFEELT FF ES A 1 LS 0 u ETT q_ LEE 1 ES LL Et EE SHET Numeric keyboard <Note>: Before using the USB keyboard for controlling the CR5O0, set the keyboard type ("US" or "JAPAN") correctly to match your keyboard using the "Keyboard Sel" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see page 78).

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Recording) Chapter-5: Recording This chapter describes how to record audio data using the CR500. The CR500 can record audio to a BWF formatted or CD-DA formatted disc. To a BWF formatted disc, you can record WAV audio files. You can then export files to a Windows computer after closing the disc. To a CD-DA formatted disc, you can record audio tracks. After finalizing a CD-DA formatted disc, you can play it back by a normal CD player or export tracks to a Windows or Mac OS computer. Note>: With a BWF formatted disc, each time you make recording, an "audio file" is created. You can make up to 97 audio files on a disc as long as there is disc remaining space (note that closing the disc affects the maximum number of recordable audio files). With a CD-DA formatted disc, each time you make recording, an "audio track" is created. You can make up to 99 audio tracks on a disc as long as there is disc remaining Space.

<Closing and finalizing> The CR500 can close or finalize a recorded disc. The following explains what are closing and finalizing. Closing Closing is done to a BWF formatted disc. A closed disc can be read by a Windows computer. You can close a disc when ejecting a recorded disc (see page 46). If you use a recorded disc only with the CR500 and do not use it with your com- puter, you do not need to close it (see <Notes> below). If you want to close an unclosed disc which is not currently loaded to the CR500, load it to the CR500 and then attempt to eject it (i.e. press the [OPEN/CLOSE] key). The display shows the screen for closing the disc (see page 46). <Note>: Each time you close a BWF formatted disc, the number of remaining recordable files decreases by one and the remaining disc space decreases. Therefore, we recommend closing a disc only when it is necessary. <Note>: You can also finalize a BWF formatted disc using the "Finalize" item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the MENU mode (see page 92). With a finalized formatted disc, you cannot make additional recordings, file name editing, file deletion and file restoring. Finalizing Finalizing is done to a CD-DA formatted disc. À finalized disc can be read by a Windows or Mac OS computer, as well as can be played back by a normal CD player (only a CD-R disc can be played back by a normal CD player). You can finalize a disc when ejecting a recorded disc (see page 49) or using the "Finalize" item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the MENU mode (see page 92). <Note>: Note that you cannot make additional recordings to a finalized disc.

CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Recording) Before making recording of analog or digital audio, you must make preparation for recording as described below. The following description assumes that the CR500 is turned on and a BWF formatted or CD-DA formatted blank CD-R/RW disc is set to the disc tray. To record WAV files, use a BWF formatted CD-R/RW disc. To record audio CD tracks, use a CD-DA formatted CD-R/RW disc.

You can enable or disable the repeat function by pressing the [REPEAT] key or by using the "Repeat" menu item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see page 83). <Hint 2>: You can select the song from which playback starts in either of the follow- ing methods. (1) Use the numeric keys in the [MEMORY/MENORY 5ET]] key group and the [CLEAE/+10] key to enter the desired track number (see pages 50 and 68). (2) Use the [SKIP/CURSOR @-@ BB] keys (see pages 50 and 69). (3) Select a desired song on the "FILE SEL" screen (see page 51). <Note>: If you select a song other than the first step (program number 01) in the play list as the song from which program playback starts, the songs in the play list prior to the selected song are not played back. For example, if you select "O5" on the screen above, only songs in program numbers 05 through 15 are played back. Songs in program numbers 01 through 04 are not played back. Regardless of which program number you start from, the recorder stops at the end of the last song when finishing playback of the last song. By default, the "Auto Play" menu item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is set to "On", so if you select a song by using a key in the [MEMORY/ [MEMORY SET]] key group, the recorder automatically starts playback of the selected song.

For example, let's assume that the play list has following five entries in program number order: 02, 05, 08, 02, and O7. If you press the [2/ABC] key in the [MEMORY /EnoRTsET]] key group, 02 of program number 1 is selected. Therefore, to select 02 of program number 4, use method (2) or (3). <Note>: You can store the play lists for 100 discs to the CR50O system memory. If you attempt to store a play list for a new disc when play lists for 100 discs are already stored, the CR500 deletes the oldest play list and stores the new play list. However, if you reload a disc whose play list has been deleted as in the case above, its play list is automatically stored as the newest list. <Note>: By executing the "Sys Initial Memory" item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode, all play lists are reset (see page 80).
