Using this manual

audio equipment.

Features of the CDR-830 BurnIT CD recorder
Create your own audio CDs
The HHB BurnIT offers a high-quality and affordable way to burn your own audio CDs. Create original
recordings, or assemble professional compilations from existing source material.
The CD text feature of the CDR-830 allows you put text information on your recordings to easily identify
and select from the contents.
Make digital recordings from any source
The CDR-830 can accept digital input via optical or coaxial cable, meaning that you can connect it to
almost any other digital audio component. Also, thanks to the built in sampling rate converter, you can
make direct digital recordings from many different sources such as DAT (32kHz up to 48kHz), as well as
CD and MD (both 44.1kHz). A sampling rate converter ‘through’ feature (for 44.1kHz sources only)
enables you to record HDCD and DTS encoded CDs too. Analog sources are also catered for with the
analog line inputs, suitable for connection to standard unbalanced line level connections.
Use both ordinary recordable CDs and rewritable CDs
Ordinary recordable CDs (CD-R) can be recorded on just once, but the relatively cheap cost of blank discs
and the ability to play the recorded discs on any ordinary CD player* make them ideal for many
applications. Compact Disc Rewritable, or CD-RW, is a more recent type of recordable CD that allows
erasing and re-recording of the disc. Although the blank discs are more expensive, this ability to use the
discs over and over gives them the edge in terms of flexibility over CD-R**.
* While most CD players should have no problems with
CD-R discs, if the laser pickup is dirty (from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, for example), the
player may not be able to read some CD-R discs.
**At the time of writing, meny ordinary CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. Check in the instructions
that came with the player for compatibility.
