Description:
The PD-R509 is Pioneer Electronics' fifth-generation CD recorder. This new recorder makes duplicating your favorite songs easier and less expensive. For convenience, the PD-R509 can write to either CD-R (write once) or CD-RW (rewritable up to 500 times) blank discs. In either case, however, you must use discs designated for music or audio recording--the PD-509 employs the music industry's Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), which prevents the use of "computer" CD-Rs and prohibits digital copying of digital copies.Despite the fact that it's an entry-level CD recorder, the PD-R509 boasts high-end features such as automatic sampling-frequency conversion (for digital-to-digital recording of nontraditional sources such as minidisc, digital-audio tape, or digital satellite systems), digital fade in/out, and digital autosync recording (with a choice of recording one track or all tracks). A CD-to-CD frequency pass-through feature allows you to make your own compilation of tracks from DTS-encoded 5.1-channel surround CDs. To ensure high-quality recordings, the PD-R509 features Record Strategy Control, which identifies the blank-disc manufacturer and optimizes laser output for optimum recording performance. On the technical side, the PD-R509 utilizes both coaxial and optical inputs and outputs for flexibility in recording and playback. A 1-bit analog-to-digital converter ensures quality recordings from analog sources, while a 20-bit digital-to-analog converter provides superb fidelity during playback of your recordings or prerecorded CDs.
