PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The CD-RW700 is an incredibly powerful machine for its price, taking advantage of our CD-RW technology dev eloped specifically for the pro audio industry.
Personal Studio - Project Studio
In personal and budget oriented limitations of consumer gear and w asting a lot of time figuring out howto get around those limitations.  With the CD-RW700, y ou can put yourfocus back on production, because this recorder has y our solutions.
The CD-RW700 breaks piece.  Rather than try to figure out how to add a button or some r ack earsto get more money out of a consumer CD-RW machine, we started with our top of the line CD-RW2000 and kept the functions you need most.
For starters, a RAM buffermodes.  Further , adjustable parameters on the auto ID logic allow y ou toadjust your threshold for the auto ID lev el, so the machine will identifythe breaks between tracks, but not add extr a ones in soft passages.  Adigital gain adjustment and digital fade in/out capabilities are also bu\
ilt -in for boosting low recordings, or adding a smoother fade in/out to asong.  Audio qualit y was a top priorit y with the CD-RW700; y oull find24 bit A/D and D/A converters for the smoothest sound a vailable.
Sa ving the best fomedia to use this machine.  The abilit y to use regular CD-R and CD-RW media will save y ou a great deal of time and money .
DJs - Live Sound Applications - Show Control
In applications where the use, you can tak e comfort in the fact that the mechanism in the CD-RW700 is a TEAC data driv e, not a flimsy plastic tray.  The TEAC CDtechnology is among the best in the world in reliabilit y, performance anddur abilit y.  Plus, the driv e searches incredibly fast so y ou dont have tow ait to find y our cue points.
The CD-RW700same mechanism can serv e as a reliable CD-Recorder for assembling sound cues for a show or presentation, then act as a lightning fast CDplayer that can be controlled through infr ared controllers for automatedpresentations.

APPROVED MEDIA LIST
Notes on CD-R media:
Qualit y andmanufacturers will v ary from brand to brand.  This has to do with different manufacturing processes of both the CD-R media and the CD-R mechanism.  (Some media that does not work well with one CD-R mechanism ma y work reasonably with another .)
In orderare posting an approved list of media for use.  Media from each of these manufacturers w as written to and verified.  The media listed as OK is preferred.  The media listed as NR t ypically workedbut had a higher error r ate, so it is not recommended.  Mitsuimedia is used as the target media reference, so y oure alwayssafe with those.
W e ha ve tested and 80 minute CD media, and the mechanisms will recogniz e and use the full legnth of the CD.

SCMS/MEDIA CONTROL
The first few shipments of the CD-RW700 shipped requiring consumer CD-RDA and CD-RWDA.  The original design did not call for this, it was added at the last minute due to legal consider ations about the CD-R market.  All units that shipped after March, 2000 do not require consumer media.
For the older code and consumer media requirements ha ve a deep system menuallowing these settings to be o verridden.  Since the legal issues ha ve been resolv ed, we are releasing the information on how to reset your machine to use regular media.  The instructions are as follows:
1) Set the CD-RW700 up so that it receiv es power, but is left in  stand-b y mode.  
2) Press 
  700/80001.00.  (It should tak e about 5 seconds.)
3) Press  status:  SCMS=ON
4) Turn
