Page 10: General Care And Maintenance
A little mild detergent applied to a slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn stains or grease marks. There are no user-serviceable parts inside either the main unit or the controller. Do not disassemble the YPDR. Refer to a Yamaha service center for any repairs or adjustments. ALWAYS use the head lock system when transporting or moving the YPDR, even for a short distance. -
Page 11: Copyright
2 • Installation and precautions - Copyright not use thinners, alcohol or solvent to clean discs. Allow the discs to dry naturally, or use an air stream to dry them. Do not use a cloth. Do not bend or scratch discs. To avoid mechanical damage to discs, al ways store them in their cases. -

(either analog or digital). This is best achieved by routing the source signal through a mixing console (in the case of a digital signal, a console such as the YAMAHA DMC1000 is ideal). 5.2 Single-recorder connection This configuration is used when recording from a stereo source onto disc. -

5 • Connection - Multi-recorder connection 5.3 Multi-recorder connection This configuration allows simultaneous recording multiple discs. principles for multi-recorder operation are essentially the same as for single-re corder operation. Since the 50-way cable carries digital audio as well as control information, up to seven recorder units may be "daisy-chained"... - Page 24 5 • Connection - Multi-recorder connection The DRIVE SELECT switch on the rear of the controller should be set to the num ber of recorder units connected, minus one. In the illustrated example, three units are connected, so this switch should be set to "2". The DRIVE ID switches of the recorder units should be set in sequence.

Page 25: Operation
6 • Operation - Playback of previously-recorded CDs 6 • Operation There are several basic methods of using the YPDR described here. Many of the basic operations are common to all methods. 6.1 Playback of previously-recorded CDs The YPDR may be used as a CD player to play back discs recorded on the YPDR. -
Page 26: Track And Index Location
6 • Operation - Recording fixed tracks (TOC PRE mode) Use the PLAY key to start replaying the disc. The PAUSE key, as well as the STOP key, can be used to halt playback. 6.1.2 Track and index location When the YPDR is in PLAY mode, the TRACK and INDEX keys can be used to locate the start of playback by track, or by index. -

6 • Operation - Recording fixed tracks (TOC PRE mode) 6.2.1 Recording the TOC Set the TOC PRE/AFTER switch on the rear panel of the controller to "PRE", and the 10/30 switch beside it to either "1 OS" or "30S" (the track length in seconds). Load the disc into the main unit, as described in "Playback of previously-record... -

The REC MUTE key is latching (push once to turn on, push again to turn it off). PAUSE The PAUSE key will temporarily halt recording, and will send a "STOP"... -
Page 32: Duplication
6 • Operation - Duplication Recording may be carried out only in the TOC AFTER mode. Operation is the same as for single-unit operation. If recording is to be carried out in multi-recorder mode, then the discs in all the recorder units should contain identical information. - Page 33 6 • Operation - Duplication indicator will come on. Unit N will enter PLAY/PAUSE mode, and the other units will go into REC/PAUSE mode. Press PLAY and REC together when the STDBY key is lit steadily. REC and PLAY will light, and will go off when the duplication process is complete. The STOP, PAUSE, REC or TOC keys will interrupt the duplication process.

Page 34: Errors
7 • Errors 7 • Errors It is possible that an internal error will occur while the YPDR is being operated. This will cause the ERROR indicator on the main display to light, and also light the ALARM indicator on the controller front panel. Occasionally the ALARM in dicator on the controller will light, but the ERROR indicator on the main unit will not light. -
