PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Traditionally, CD players, recorders and duplicators have
been thought of as separate devices. The CD-RW402
breaks this mold, combining the best of all of these devices
into a single, compact, affordable recorder.
The CD-RW402's CD player functions offer enough
capability for live theater or broadcast, yet remain simple
enough for the novice. Functions like CD-TEXT, call, locate
points, fader start and auto ready make this the ideal
machine for environments where there is no "take 2".
Recording functions take advantage of the latest CD-R
advances including overburn capability, and improved auto
ID modes. Plus, the CD-RW402 offers the ability to edit
CDs, remove dead space in a track, or add/remove track
IDs. For increased accuracy, a stutter-scrub mode allows
you to nudge an edit or cue point with CD frame accuracy.
• ±9.9% Pitch Control (Deck 1 Only)
• Independent Analog Unbalanced RCA I/O
• Independent Analog Balanced XLR I/O
• Independent SPDIF Digital Coax and Optical I/O
Duplicating functions for both audio and data CD formats
can run at 4x - convenient for limited in-house duplication.
The CD-RW402 also has the ability to convert Orange Book
CDs into Disk-At-Once Red Book compliant CDs.
• Built-in RAM Buffer for Precise ID Marks
• Parallel Control I/O for Custom Remotes & Tallies
• Call Function for Checking Play Cues
• 3-U Rack Mount Design
• Auto Cue and Auto Ready for Live Sound Cues
• CD Editing Capability w/ Stutter Scrub
• Event Start Function (In Parallel Control)
• PS/2 Keyboard Input for CD-TEXT and Control
• Selectable SCMS Status
• 2 Displays for Meters and 12 Characters of Text
• User Selectable Digital Fade In/Fade Out
• Uses Professional 74min and 80min Blank Media
• Headphone Monitor Select w/ Level Control
• Overburn Capability for Extended Recording Time
• Rugged TEAC Computer CD-ROM and CD-R Drives
• Duplicates Audio and Data CDs at 4x, 2x, and 1x
• RC-RW402 Wired Remote Included
Overburn capability dependent on media. Discs with more than 74 minutes
may not play on all CD players, since extended recording is not part of the
Orange Book Audio CD specification.
TOC Edits are held in memory; the edits can be written to another disc. The
changes cannot be written over the TOC data in the original disc.
APPLICATIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
Personal Studio - Project Studio - Production Studio
Studio users enjoy the CD-RW402's editing features, which apply the
advantages of the MiniDisc format to CD Recording. Track IDs can be
added, removed, and sections of audio can be deleted or copied. (A stutter
scrub feature helps set the edit points to CD frame accuracy.) CD-TEXT
information can be added easily by plugging in a standard PS/2 keyboard to
the front panel. Once all the changes are made, a new CD can be burned
with all the new edits.
Of course, since the CD-RW402 is also a duplicator, rehearsal CDs and
demos can be duplicated quickly and easily.
Houses of Worship - Installed Live Sound - Broadcast
Live and broadcast venues appreciate the large displays and wealth of
control on the front panel. CD-TEXT displays confirm the current sound cue,
Auto Ready allows the CD player to automatically pause and cue at each
track ID, and the ±9.9% Pitch Control helps match timed events. The
recording capability is very handy for assembling cues, or pre-recording
announcements or spots.
The CD-RW402's parallel control integrates easily with most broadcast fader
start controls, and it's case size and design is conveniently similar to that of
2 cart machines or broadcast CD players placed side by side.

CD-RW402 Technical Documentation
The CD-RW402 was designed to be more than just a professional
CD-Recorder, it was designed to serve double duty as an advanced
CD player for live or studio applications. This dual function design
makes it highly advantageous in live theaters, radio production and
broadcast environments, as well as recording studio environments.
Change Track IDs - The CD-RW402 offers the ability to add or
remove track IDs from a CD. Combine and Split edit functions
essentially remove track IDs or add the IDs. For more accurate
placement, a stutter-scrub mode is offered by pressing JOG on
the front of the CD-RW402, then turning the MULTI-JOG dial.
A-B Copy - Trimming dead air from the track can easily be done
on the CD-RW402. Deck 1 has two locate points, LOC A and
LOC B. Simply place these locate points at the beginning and
end of the piece of audio you want, and press A-B COPY. The
new track will be written to the other CD tray.
CD-TEXT - Other CD-Recorders in the industry offer CD-TEXT
capability, but they make a cell-phone's email letter system
look convenient. The CD-RW402 allows you to plug in a standard
PS/2 keyboard. Then, just type what you want for the
disc name, artist name, and track names.
4x Disc Copy - The CD-RW402 is the only dual CD recorder on
the market that is capable of duplicating audio and data CDs.
Also, it has the fastest time, burning CDs at 4x speeds. As an
added bonus, the CD-RW402 will convert track-at-once audio
CDs into disc-at-once audio CDs during duplication. This makes
the duplicated CD appropriate for mass duplication.

Auto Ready Function - This function is used in live production
environments like theater and radio environments frequently.
Auto Ready will play one track at a time, pausing at each track
start ID it finds. This function saves a tremendous amount of time
for engineers, since each sequential sound cue is automatically
loaded.
Call Function - Pressing call stops the CD, and returns it to the
time location where play began. This is typically used for checking
a cue point, allowing you to be sure you are recalling the exact
position you started from.
Auto Cue - Auto cue allows the CD mechanism to cue to the first
audio in the track, not the location of the start ID. This means
better response time at the start of the track, since dead space is
eliminated.
Selectable SCMS - SCMS codes are used on consumer grade
CD-Recorders to limit the unauthorized distribution of recorded
material. In professional environments, duplication of digital
program is a regular necessity. The CD-RW402 allows the user
to select the SCMS status written from Allow One Copy, Allow
No Copies, or SCMS Free (No Restriction.)
Input Monitor - You can monitor the inputs of the CD-RW402
without engaging the CD-RW mechanism. This is useful when
setting levels, or using the CD-RW402 for it's high quality A/D
and D/A converters.
Professional I/O - The CD-RW402 offers independent balanced
XLR inputs and outputs for each deck as standard. This allows
for the best signal to noise ratio, especially over long cable runs
like those found in the typical studio, live or broadcast settings.
Digital Level Adjustment and Digital Fades - The CD-Recorder
will frequently be used to transfer audio from DAT, MiniDisc, or
another CD. If the originally material was produced too quietly, the
CD-RW402 has the ability to boost the recording level. Also, built
in digital fade in and fade outs can be used to ensure smooth fade
curves.
PS/2 KEYBOARD CONTROL
The CD-RW402 has the PS/2 port for entering CD-TEXT
information. However, it can also be used for other functions
as listed below:

Parallel Control Notes:
All command controls are labeled as "in"
on the chart at left. The commands are
active when brought to ground for more
than 30 milliseconds or longer.
FADER START pin (22) operates as a
latched function.
The Total Current of pin 6 (+5v) and
pin 8 must be less than 100mA.
Output Signals are connected to an open
collector with maximum voltage of 15V,
and maximum current 50mA.
