Use of the remote control unit
When using the RC-RW750 remote control unit, 
make sure:
 There is a clear unobstructed path between the 
remote control unit and the remote sensor 
7 on the 
main unit.
 The remote control unit is located within 5 m 
(15 ft.) of the main unit, and is pointing at approxi-
mately right angles (±30°) to the front panel.
When fitting or replacing the batteries: Always make sure that both batteries are replaced 
together. Do not mix old and new batteries.
 Do not mix batteries of different types.
 Always make sure that the batteries are located 
with the correct polarity (the positive terminals of 
the batteries should match the 
+ markings inside 
the battery compartment, and the negative termi-
nals should match the 
– markings).
 If you are not going to use the remote control unit 
for an extended period of time, remove the batter-
ies. Old batteries can leak, casing damage to the 
remote control unit.
 Always dispose of old batteries in the way recom-
mended by your local garbage disposal authorities.
Connections
The following should be noted when you connect the 
unit to other equipment.
It is possible to connect the unit’s 
DIGITAL 
COAXIAL IN
 P and DIGITAL OPTICAL IN Q to 
other equipment at the same time. However, the unit 
can receive signals from only one digital input at a 
time. Audio signals output from the unit are output from 
the analog 
ANALOG OUT O jacks, as well as from 
the 
DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT jack P and DIGITAL 
OPTICAL OUT
 connector Q simultaneously (but not 
from the digital outputs in stop mode).
Using the timer function
You can set the CD-RW750 to start playback when it 
is switched on (for example, from an external timer). 
To do this, slide the 
TIMER switch C to the PLAY 
position.When the unit is turned on it will start playing from 
the start of the loaded disc. 
						

							 TASCAM CD-RW750 Owner’s Manual 15
3 – Playback operations
The CD-RW750 can be used to play back CDs 
(including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been 
recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been 
recorded on the unit.
Simple playback operations
1Press the OPEN/CLOSE key (3 or 1) to open 
the disc tray.
2Discs should be inserted in the tray with the 
label uppermost.
3Press the OPEN/CLOSE key (3 or 1) to close 
the tray again.
When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display 
briefly shows 
TOC Reading., with a flashing 
period following the word “Reading” as the unit 
determines the contents of the disc. When the TOC 
has been read, the display shows the total running 
time of the disk, followed by the disc title (if the disc 
contains CD TEXT information), followed by the 
total running time.
If the title of the disc is more than 12 characters long 
(a disc title can be up to 23 characters long), only the 
first 12 characters are displayed. 
The first 12 characters of the disc title are also shown 
(for three seconds) when playback is stopped.
In stop mode, no digital output is possible (see “Input 
monitoring” on page 18).
The CD-RW750 also shows (at the top left of the dis-
play) one of the following:1Press the PLAY key (I or L) to start play-
back
2Press the STOP key (H or J) to stop play-
back
3Press the PAU S E key (J or K) to pause play-
back temporarily.
The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
play light, to show the available unplayed tracks. If 
there are thirteen tracks on the disc, for example, 
indicators 
1 through 13 will light. If there are more 
than 20 tracks on a disc, the track number 
OVER indi-
cator (at the bottom of the display) will light.
Track titles If the finalized disc contains CD 
TEXT information, the first 12 characters of the track 
title (track titles can be up to 23 characters in length) 
are shown for about two seconds, about three sec-
onds into the track.
Time display modes
When playing back a CD (or in pause mode), there 
are five different display modes.
In each time mode, the current track number is given, 
followed by the time, as given below, e.g.
10Tr 0:48
Press the DISPLAY key (A or ) to cycle through 
these time display modes, as described below:
NOTE
If programmed playback has been selected (“Pro-
grammed order playback” on page 17), the elapsed 
time and total remaining time refer to the programmed 
material, not the whole disc.

Full disc title When playback is stopped, pressing 
the 
DISPLAY key switches between showing the total 
running time of the disc and the disc title (if the final-
ized disc contains CD TEXT information). If the title 
is longer than 12 characters, it scrolls across the 
display.Note that only titles containing alphabetic and 
numeric characters can be displayed (and entered) 
using the CD-RW750. Only one title per disc or track 
may be displayed or entered (i.e. artist names cannot 
be entered separately).
Track search
Use the MULTI JOG control B or the  SKIP keys on 
the remote control unit 
I to jump forward or back-
ward by one track at a time, as shown on the display.
Note that going forward from the last track of the 
disc will “wrap round” to track 1, and going back-
ward from the first track of the disc will “wrap 
round” to the last track of the disc.
The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
play shows the selected track (the lit indicator at the 
left of the row of indicators).
It is also possible to use the number keys on the 
remote control unit 
2 to jump directly to a particular 
track:
1To play tracks 1 through 9, simply press the 
appropriate key (
1 through 9).
2To play a track whose number is higher than 
9, press the 
+10 key an appropriate number of 
times to set the “tens” digit of the track num-
ber, followed by a single key to set the “units” 
digit. For example:
Track 13 = 
+10, 3
Track 30 = +10, +10, +10, 0
NOTE
On the remote control unit only, the SEARCH keys 
Hcan be used to “fast-forward” and “fast-rewind” 
through the disc.
Playback modes
The unit can be set to play back a single track, the 
whole disc in the order in which it was created, the 
tracks of the disc in a random (shuffled) order, or a 
programmed order (see “Programmed order play-
back” on page 17).
NOTE
Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the 
remote control unit. It is not possible to select the play-
back mode using the main unit alone.
1Press the PLAY MODE key A repeatedly to 
cycle the display through the following:

Continue. Normal playback mode. Program-
ming is cancelled, and playback continues in the 
normal order.

Single. The current track is played back from 
the start of the track, and playback stops at the end 
of the track. Note that the REPEAT ALL function 
is not available when this playback mode is 
selected.
Shuffle (random track order). In this mode, 
each track is played once before the disc repeats. 
Using the track search functions will move back-
wards or forwards through the random order, e.g. if 
track 7 is followed by track 10, it is possible to use 
the track search keys to go back to track 7, which is 
remembered as being before immediately before 
track 10. The red 
SHUFFLE display indicator lights 
in this mode.

Program (see “Programmed order playback” 
on page 17 below). The red 
PROGRAM display indi-
cator lights in this mode.
The selected mode is shown in large characters dis-
appears from the display a few seconds after select-
ing the mode, and the display returns to its previous 
mode
The selected playback mode (other than Program 
mode) is memorized and recalled when power is 
turned off and on again.

moves backwards and forwards in the order 
set in the program.
Use the 
PA U S E key (J or K) to halt playback tem-
porarily or the 
STOP key (H or J) to stop playback 
of the program. 
If the 
STOP key is used, when playback is restarted, 
it starts from the first program step.
Clear the program by pressing 
PLAY MODE A until 
the display shows 
Continue. The program is 
also cleared when the disc tray is opened, and if the 
STOP key is pressed when playback is stopped in 
programmed order mode.

							18 TASCAM CD-RW750 Owner’s Manual
4 – Recording
Before you start recording using the CD-RW750, 
make sure that you understand the following key 
points:
 Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data 
cannot be erased from it. You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable 
disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and 
behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. 
Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, 
refreshed and re-recorded.
Input selection
To select the input to be recorded, press the INPUT 
SELECT
 key on the main unit 6.
Repeated presses of the key cycle through the follow-
ing options:
In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs 
being selected, the boxed 
DIGITAL indicator shows on 
the display, and the appropriate indicator: 
COAXIAL or 
OPTICAL, lights on the display.
If the analog signal is selected, the boxed 
ANALOG 
indicator lights on the display.
Analog recording level The level of the analog 
signals received at the 
ANALOG IN jacks are  con-
trolled with the 
INPUT controls E.
When recording analog signals, set the digital vol-
ume (see below) to 0 dB.
Digital recording level The level of the digital 
signal may be controlled using the digital volume 
menu, as described below.
1Press the RECORD key (K or E) to put the 
unit in record ready mode.
2Repeatedly press the MENU key (9 or 6) 
until the display shows 
Volume -XXdB 
where 
-XX is the current setting.
3Use the MULTI JOG control B or the  SKIP 
keys 
I to adjust the input volume between  
-60dB and +18db (relative to the original 
input level). There is also a 
-¢ settingwhich 
represents a complete signal cut.
NOTE
If digital direct is selected, as described below (“Digital 
direct” on page 23), the digital volume is bypassed and 
the menu item does not appear.
Input monitoring
When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the 
input signal is output from the 
OUT jacks (digital and 
analog), allowing you to hear the input signal (note 
that in stop mode, no digital output is possible).
The meters also show the current signal level.
However, it is only possible to record, or to enter 
record ready mode, when a recordable disc is 
inserted. To allow monitoring of the input signal at 
other times, or when the unit is stopped, use the 
MONITOR key on the remote control unit 8.The 
RECORD key K on the main unit also enables 
monitor mode from stop mode when there is no 
recordable disc in the unit (when there is a recordable 
disc in the unit, pressing the 
RECORD key enters 
record ready mode).
The word 
MONITOR appears on the display to 
show that the output signal is an echo of the input 
signal(s). The meters show the current input level.
Exit the monitor mode by using the 
STOP key.
Frequency conversion
The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The 
CD-RW750 will always record (and play back) CDs 
at this frequency. 
However, if recording through a digital connection 
(either coaxial or optical) and the source has been 
recorded at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being played back at a non-standard speed using a 
varispeed unit (more than 1% away from the stan-
dard), the CD-RW750’s internal frequency converter 
will automatically convert the incoming frequency to 
44.1 kHz.

							4 – Recording
 TASCAM CD-RW750 Owner’s Manual 19
NOTE
If digital direct is selected, as described below (“Digital 
direct” on page 23), the frequency converter is 
bypassed. In this case, recording from digitally-con-nected devices is only possible when the source fre-
quency is 44.1 kHz. If an attempt is made to record from 
a digitally-connected source at a different frequency, 
the error message 
Not Fs44.1k!is displayed.
Basic recording
After selecting the input source (“Input selection” on 
page 18), it is possible to start recording.
The basic record procedure is as follows:
1Load a recordable disc into the unit. As the 
disc is loaded, the display shows 
TOC 
Reading
.
When the disc has been loaded, the display 
indicators show 
CD-R, NO TOC, or CD-RW, NO TOC, 
as appropriate.
2Press the RECORD key (K or E). The unit 
enters record ready mode, as shown by the 
REC and pause indicators on the display. As 
the unit enters record ready mode, the display 
shows 
Now OPC (Optimum Power Control), 
as the unit prepares to record on the disc.
3Adjust the level of the source, following the 
guidelines in “Input selection” on page 18.
NOTE
The red OVER indicators on the meters should never 
light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units pro-
duce extremely unpleasant sounds when distorted, and 
there is no “headroom” after the 
0 mark. If recording 
digitally from a commercially-produced CD, the volume 
set in the menu should be 
0dB. This will maintain all 
the dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. 
Only boost the signal if the source is exceptionally 
quiet.
An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut 
or boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a 
reading of –16 dB on the meters.
4Press the PLAY key (I or L) or the PAU S E 
key (
J or J) to start recording. 
Note that there is no need to “cue up” the 
recording position—the unit always finds the 
next available location on the disc and start 
recording to it.
5Press the PAU S E key (J or J) to pause 
recording temporarily. The pause indicator on 
the display shows this. 
Pressing 
PA U S E or PLAY again restarts 
recording with a new track number.
6Press STOP (H or J) to stop recording. 
When recording stops, the display shows 
PMA 
Writing
 (Program Memory Area) and the 
REC indicator flashes for a few seconds as the 
unit writes to the disc. 
When this message disappears, you must press 
the 
RECORD key (step 2) before restarting the 
recording. Recording restarts with a new 
track number.
NOTE
Remember that every time recording is paused or 
stopped, when recording is restarted, a new track will 
always be started. It is not possible to record in two 
“stages” within one track.
Playing back tracks
Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back 
on an ordinary CD player, the CD-RW750 can play 
back tracks that have been recorded.Use the MULTI JOG control B or the  SKIP keys I 
to select a track for playback.
Time display while recording
While a recordable disc is being played back, the 
four time display modes available in normal play-
back as described in “Time display modes” on 
page 15: 
TOTAL, TOTAL REMAIN, track REMAIN and 
elapsed track time.However, during recording there are fewer options 
available (obviously, the unit cannot see into the 
future and know how much time remains of the track 
which is being currently recorded!). 
						

							4 – Recording
20 TASCAM CD-RW750 Owner’s Manual
When in record or record ready mode, repeated 
presses of the 
DISPLAY key (A or ) cycle between 
displaying the remaining time left for recording on 
the disc (
TOTAL REMAIN) and the elapsed time of the 
track currently being recorded (no indicator lit).When playback is stopped at the start of a recordable 
disc, there are only two options available: 
TOTAL (the 
total time recorded so far on the disc) and 
TOTAL 
REMAIN
 (the total time available on the disc for further 
recording).
Manual track division
It is possible to divide the recording into tracks “on 
the fly” while recording.
While recording is taking place, press the

key (
K or E) . The current track number is incre-
mented by one.
For details of automatic track division while record-
ing, see “Automatic track division” on page 22.
NOTE
According to the “Red Book” (the specification for 
audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds in 
length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an 
audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when adding 
track divisions.
Full disc
If recording a long program, when there is no space 
remaining on the disc for recording, as shown by the 
time display (see “Time display while recording” on 
page 19), just before the end of the disc is reached, 
the unit starts a fade-out over a few seconds (the dis-
play shows 
Fade OUT).
When the fade-out has finished, the display shows 
Disc Full!! for a few seconds, and the unit then goes into stop mode (the display shows 
PMA 
Writing
).
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, 
if required (see “Erasing tracks” on page 26) and the 
disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be 
finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on page 25).
Advanced recording
These sections cover more advanced recording tech-
niques which may be of use to you.
Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording basically means that record-
ing will begin automatically when a signal is 
received, and will stop when the signal ends. 
Use the 
SYNC REC key (L or F) key to select the 
synchronization mode. The synchronization mode 
determines the automated start and stopping of 
recording when a signal is received.
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the fol-
lowing modes:
• SYNC ALL
• SYNC 1
• SYNC OFF
as shown in the display.After the synchronization mode is selected, the 
record ready mode must then be entered (you cannot 
reverse the order of these steps).
Starting playback of the source automatically starts 
recording on the CD-RW750 if 
SYNC ALL or 
SYNC 1 has been selected (see “Sync recording 
(start)” on page 21) and manual record start is dis-
abled. If 
SYNC OFF is selected, the recording 
must be started manually.
The sync modes are related to the trigger level (as 
explained in “Setting the trigger level” on page 22).
