INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the acquisition of your CDR630 CD Recorder.
This CD Recorder now enables you to record, play and erase your
own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used
to play all pre-recorded CDs and combined CDs, such as CD Extra.
You can now create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD.
The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below.
There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs:
1CD Recordable Audio (record once):
Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R
discs can be played on most CD players and recorders. A CD-
R disc can be recognized by the following logo:
or
2CD ReWritable Audio (multiple recording):
Recorded and finalized audio CD-RW discs can be played on
most CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-RW
discs. An increasing number of players and recorders will be
suitable for these discs in the future. A CD-RW disc can be rec-
ognized by the following logo:
or
Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it is
to ‘ma e’ your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you
use a ReWritable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first attempt,
while following the instructions given here.
Attention!
Re ordings may only be made for professional or per-
sonal use.
It is forbidden to opy material prote ted by opy-
right, in luding omputer programs, films, television
and audio re ordings. This applian e may not be used

Attention!
If you want to play the dis on a different, regular CD
player, the dis must be finalized first. See ‘Finalizing
a dis ’, p.11.
Note:
- If you do not want a twenty-second silence (<-5 dB) to be
recorded, you must manually stop recording.
- Do not record a programmed sequence from a or DAT,
because this will result in the wrong track numbering. Always
record numbers in the original non-programmed) sequence.
- A track on a CD will sometimes immediately start with music
information. The CD Recorder will not start unless it recognizes
a digital signal. Although the reaction time is less than 4 mil-
liseconds, a fraction of the beginning of a number may some-
times not be completely recorded. If this happens, you can start
the recording manually see Manual recording from a digital
source).
FINALIZING/ERASING
Finalizin a disc
Finalizing is an extremely simple procedure that is necessary in
order to play the disc on another, regular CD player. It is not neces-
sary if the disc is used in another CD Recorder.
Attention!
Finalizing makes it impossible to re ord further on a
CD-R dis . With a CD-RW dis , the entire dis must be
erased before it an be used again.
To start finalizing
1Place the disc you want to finalize in the CD Recorder (if it is
not yet in the recorder).
2From the STOP setting, press FINALIZE (8) and then REC (7)
within two seconds.
The approximate finalization time will be shown on the display
and will be at least two minutes.
➜➜During finalization, the display will count down. Finalization is
complete when the total number of trac s and the total time
recorded appears in the display.
Note:
- During finalization, the CD Recorder will not accept any operating
commands.
- In order to prevent damages to the disc, the CD Recorder may
not be switched off or disconnected during finalization.
Erasin a disc
With a CD-RW disc, recordings can be erased and replaced by a
new recording.
There are two options:
Erasing the last re ording
1Place the disc to be erased in the CD Recorder (if it is not yet in
the recorder).
2From the STOP setting, press the ERASE button (9) once and

OTHER INFORMATION
If the malfunction continues, perform the Diagnostic Program:
1Switch the recorder off using the POWER ON/OFF button (1).
2Simultaneously press the PLAY (13) and STOP (15) buttons
and switch the recorder bac on using the POWER ON/OFF (1)
button.
➜➜The display will now indicate
BUSY .
➜➜After a few minutes, the message will change to
ERROR or
PASSED .
➜➜If the
ERROR message appears, your recorder is defective and
needs to be repaired. Consult your supplier or call the Marantz
Consumer Line to find the nearest service centre. The number
of the Consumer Line can be found in the guarantee boo let.
➜➜If the
PASSED message appears, there is no clear defect and
the malfunction may be a result of misinterpretation of the user
instructions, an inappropriate disc, a mechanical defect or an
incorrect connection. To solve this problem, carefully read the
user instructions once again; you can also contact your suppli-
er.
➜➜If you cannot solve the problem, go to the nearest service cen-
tre.
3Switch off the recorder using the POWER ON/OFF button (1) to
exit from the Diagnostic Program.
Re order maintenan e
The appliance can be cleaned using a damp leather cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents such as alcohol, methylated spirits,
ammonia or scouring agents.
Dis maintenan e
As is the case with pre-recorded CDs, fingerprints and spots on the
disc will not directly affect the signal. Depending on how dirty the
disc is, the clarity of the reflected signal may deteriorate to such an
extent that the sound quality diminishes.
• To write on the printed side of a CD-R, use a felt-tipped pen;
never use a pen with a hard point (such as a ball-point)
because this could damage the recording.
• Keep the shiny side of the disc clean. Use a non-fluffy cloth and
always wipe in a straight line from the centre to the edge.
• Never use cleaning agents for conventional records.
• Never use other cleaning agents or scouring agents.
• Never leave the disc in direct sunlight and do not subject the
disc to extremely high temperatures.

HINTS FOR OPTIMAL USE OF
THE MARANTZ CDR630
CD-R/CD-RW RECORDERS
1 How to avoid re ording errors?
Media
Use proper CD-R media, suitable for 1x speed. Unsuitable media
causes recording interruptions and recording errors. See below.
Signal sour es
Use stable digital sources, meeting the IEC958-I/II standards (Jitter
<20ns, Frequency deviation ±50ppm). Unstable sources can result
in recording interruptions and recording errors.
Condition of media (sour e media and re ording media)
Keep CD’s and tapes free from fingerprints, scratches and other
mar ings.
Note that a scratched CD can cause an unstable signal coming out
of a CD Player.
Power ON/OFF
Avoid power ON/OFF during recording, erasing and finalizing the
disc.
Temperature
The machine performs best at a stable, low to normal environmen-
tal temperature (15-20 degrees C). Avoid excessive heating, for
example by close mounting in a rac . A smooth air flow around the
product improves the performance (min. 2,5 cm/1 inch of free
space above and below the unit for adequate ventilation).
2 What type of dis should I use?
The Marantz CDR630 CD Recorders are developed to record
according to the Orange Boo specifications. This is the specifica-
tion for CD Recorders and CDR-media. Every CDR-disc sold,
should perform according to Orange Boo specification and there-
fore be compatible with our recorder.
In practice however, the quality of the recording depends on the
match between the disc used and the writing strategy of the
recorder. Specially 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).
Regarding the recording capacity of the disc, it can be stated that in
general 63-minutes discs produce better results than the 74-min-
utes versions. Discs with higher capacity than 74 minutes (80 min-
utes) are not recommended due to very poor performance.
Marantz recommends the following disc types for optimal results in
combination with the CDR630 for audio applications:
(only 74-minutes types mentioned)
Type (manufa turer) Dye Remark
Philips Cyanine (green)
TDK ‘Studio’ Cyanine (green) Designed for 1x Audio
Taiyo Yuden Cyanine (green)
Mitsui Toatsu Gold Phtalo Cyanine (gold)
Ricoh Gold Phtalo Cyanine (gold) Sunflower 2 type
In general the majority of green discs (Cyanine-dye) performs bet-
ter on 1x speed than gold discs (Phtalo Cyanine-dye) with the
exception of the types listed above. (As of 1-1-1998).
3 Dis position in drawer
When loading a CDR disc, ta e care that the disc is put properly in
the middle of the guides of the loading drawer, to avoid initializing
and reading errors.
4 Auto Start Re ording with DAT
The first part of trac is cut off when recording from DAT. The start
IDs of your DAT source are too close to the audio information.
• Use manual recording or re-mar the start IDs on the DAT
source.
