Fostex CR500 CD Master Recorder Owner’s Manual

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.Various playback modes
The CR500 supports various playback modes described below.
- ALL PLAY mode : Plays back all disc tracks continuously.
- SINGLE PLAY mode : Plays back a single track.
- PROGRAM PLAY mode : Plays back tracks of the playback list you program.
- MEMORY PLAY mode : Plays back the memorized track by the instant start function.
Easy-to-see large display and level meters
From a 132 x 64 dot matrix LCD display, you can see the time information, as well as the status of the unit setting. The dot-LED level meters (L and R) allow you to check recording or playback levels precisely. The meter peak hold time is set to three seconds by default, however, you can set it between zero and nine seconds in one second steps using the “Peak Hold” menu item of the “SYS SETUP” menu in the MENU mode (see page 77).
Versatile analog and digital connectability
For analog input and output connection, both the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors are provided. For digital input and output connection, the balanced XLR connectors which can handle the AES/EBU or S/P DIF format digital signals are provided.
