Congratulations on your purchase of the CDR631 CD recorder.  
This unit enables you to record, play, and erase (using CD-RW  
discs) your own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder  
can also be used to play all pre-recorded CDs.  
If one of these components is missing, please inform your sup-  
plier immediately. Save the packaging material it may come in  
handy if you move the appliance.  
CD-R and CD-RW Discs  
With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying,  
you can create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD.  
The discs used to record must bear the logos shown below.  
Setup  
-
-
Place the recorder on a strong, vibration-free surface.  
Do not use the recorder under extremely damp condi-  
tions.  
There are two types of recordable discs:  
-
If the recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a  
1"(2.5 cm) space remains free on all sides of the re-  
corder for proper ventilation.  
1
CD-R (record once):  
CD-R discs are only able to be recorded onto a single time but  
will playback in most CD players.  
CD-R discs can be recognized by the following logos:  
Attention!  
If this unit is not used or operated in accordance with the  
instructions, this may result in exposure to dangerous ra-  
diation or other risks.  
Recordable  
Recordable  
Only authorized technicians are allowed to open the appli-  
ance casing or to perform repairs or maintenance.  
2
CD-RW (multiple recording):  
CD-RW discs are able to be recorded onto many times but  
will only playback in CD players offering CD-RW compatibil-  
ity. Products that offer CD-RW playback compatibility are  
available from Marantz, Marantz Professional, and  
Superscope. Please contact your dealer for more informa-  
tion on these products.  
Compact Discs Care  
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the  
disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back.  
CD-RW discs can be recognized by the following logos:  
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the  
front side.  
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following loca-  
tions:  
ReWritable  
ReWritable  
Notes:  
-
-
-
In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.  
In a place which is damp or dirty.  
In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near  
a window.  
- Most DVD players cannot playback CD-R discs and some  
cannot playback CD-RW discs because of laser power differ-  
ences.  
- Some CD players may be able to playback finalized CD-RW  
discs.  
- Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R discs be-  
cause of the low reflectivity of such discs.  
Always keep the disc surface clean.  
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the  
disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a  
special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.  
The CDR631 is able to record onto any 1X compatable CD-R  
and CD-RW disc, including discs for Consumer use and Profes-  
sional (computer) discs. For a list of recommended discs,  
please see the Marantz Professional website at  
Note:  
For both CD-R and CD-RW discs, only discs that are compat-  
ible with 1X recording should be used.  
Wipe in a radial direction.  
Do not wipe in circumferential direction.  
It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, in-  
cluding computer programs, films, television and audio re-  
cordings. This appliance may not be used for applications  
of this type.

INTRODUCTION  
Do not use record cleaner to clear a disc, as this will ad-  
versely affect the disc surface.  
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.  
Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of  
disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD  
label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has  
a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc.  
If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of tak-  
ing out the disc or other malfunction may result.  
Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only  
with a soft felt-tipped pen.  
Do not use a disc with a special shape.  
Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a  
heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equip-  
ment malfunction may result.  
Maintenance  
Clean the CD-Recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free  
cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a cor-  
rosive effect.  
Do not expose the CD-Recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity,  
rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or  
direct sunlight).

If the CD-Recorder in unable to read CDs correctly, use a com-  
monly available cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the  
CD player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy  
the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.  
The lenses may cloud over when the CD-Recorder is suddenly  
moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to play  
a CD then. Leave the CD-Recorder in a warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.

Remarks about recording  
The CDR631 offers several recording modes.  
If the disc is a CD-RW and is already finalized you must  
unfinalize it first to record onto it.

If the disc already contains recordings, the CD-Recorder will  
automatically search for the end of the last track, so that re-  
cording can start from there.  
-
- synchronised recording of a single  
track based on a single track from a source CD, DAT, cas-  
sette or other source.

will light up.  
- same as the RECORD DISC function except  
that the CDR631 will automatically finalize the recorded CD  
once recording is finsihed.  
A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. Minimum  
allowable track length is 4 seconds.  
Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop  
automatically.  
SRC (Sample Rate Conversion)  
This CD-Recorder can perform Sample Rate Conversion on  
the incoming signal, it is capable of handling sources ranging  
from 11 kHz up to 56 kHz.  
If no 44.1 kHz (± 100 PPM) source is connected, this CD-  
Recorder will automatically switch on the SRC.  
Some remarks on recording:  
If the source is 44.1kHz (± 100PPM) the SRC will be auto-  
matically bypassed.  
-
When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will  
automatically be increased during recording.  
See page 19 for information about the recording menu set-  
tings.  
-
If a finalized CD-R disc is inserted in the CD-Recorder,  
will be displayed. Recording is not  
possible.  
Important:

will be displayed  
when the REC MODE (26) is pressed. If the REC LEVEL/

Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW compatible CD  
players.

set the digital rec-volume of the CDR631 to 0 dB.  
Warning:  
-
When you copy the tracks from a DAT recorded by different  
sampling frequencies, noise might be recorded in the disc  
when the sampling rate changes.  
Recording is no longer possible after finalizing a CD-R  
disc!

When AUTO TRACK is ON, you can also set AUTO  
STOP function.  
2. Rotate the REC LEVEL/SELCT (19) key until, on the  
Record/Play Level bar, all the blue segments light but  
the red segments do not light continuously during the  
loudest passages.  
AUTO STOP ON : the recording will be stopped auto-  
matically. (See the Table on page

The most efficient way to record from a digital source is via a digital  
connection that contains user data. The user data part of a digital  
signal provides track information to the CD recorder. User data is  
usually found only in an SPDIF format digital connection. The
