Text Input and Display *1
The DN-C550R lets you input the disc title and titles for each track onto the CD-R or CD-RW disc which can then be displayed on the unit's front panel. (These items must be input before the disc recording is finalized.) The DN-C550R can display text information on the display when playing CD Text discs which contain text information in English.
A wealth of playback options using both drives
Dual Play mode lets you play discs simultaneously in both the CD drive and the CD-R/CD-RW drive. Since sound can be output independently from each drive, you can connect a commercially available mixer to enjoy mixing the sound.
The CD drive has a built-in HDCD decoder, which lets you enjoy the improved fidelity of HDCD-encoded CDs.
Repeat modes (1 Track / All Tracks / A-B).
Mix Program Play mode, to enjoy programmed playback from one or both drives.
Mix Random Play mode, to enjoy random playback from one or both drives.
Relay Play mode, for automatic continuous playback from the CD drive to the CD-R/RW drive.
Digital/Analog Recording Level Adjustment with the jog dial
You can adjust recording level from -¥ to +12dB in analog and digital recordings.
Custom Index function
A desired name can be associated with the input jacks. This is convenient for checking which equipment is connected with the input jacks.
*1: A portion of the text input on a commercially available disc supporting CD Text may not be correctly displayed on the DN-C550R.
Note: CD-R audio discs recorded on the DN-C550R can be played on most, but not all, standard CD players. CD-RW audio discs recorded on the DN-C550R cannot be played on models that do not support CD-RW. Some DVD players can not playback CD-R and/or CD-RW audio discs. Check your DVD player's owner's manual for further information.
