Philips Dual deck CD-Recorder CDR 779The Philips CD Recorder CDR 779 has two independent CD decks (one has CD-recording functionality) enable you to quickly and directly record from CD to CD, without connecting to any external equipment.A key feature of this dual-deck audio CD recorder / player is its double-speed recording (recordings of complete discs can also be made at normal speed, while the disc is being played). Also, both decks can be used together as a 2-disc CD changer, with 99-track programming and random-play functions that work across both drives--or, in DJ mode, the CD drives can be operated separately.Other features include: an auto-sample rate converter from 12 to 56 KHz, so that recordings can be made from all kinds of digital sources; CD text recording, input and editing, so that you can identify the disc while it's playing; direct line recording from 44.1 KHz (CD/MD) to ensure perfect reproduction of a CD; a variable headphone connection; the capacity to record and play digital audio CD-R's and CD-RW's; synchronized auto-start recording, so that recording starts automatically while you play the disc; and a remote control.Direct Line Recording technologyThe CDR 779 uses Philips’ Direct Line Recording (DLR) technology to maximize the quality of recordings. This technology allows highly accurate recordings from all sources with a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency to be made bit-by-bit, with the speed of the recording disc precisely matched to that of the source disc. The DLR technology also allows full bit-by-bit recordings to be made of the new HDCD-encoded discs (High-Density Compact Discs). The entire encoding of these discs is therefore reproduced on the copy, and is available for playback on compatible CD players with HDCD decoder.When recording from other digital sources, their different sampling rates are handled by the recorder’s built-in Sampling Rate Converter, which accepts all digital sampling rates between 11 and 56 kHz. Discs can of course also be recorded from any analogue sources using the recorder’s line input cinch connections. This capability now makes it easy for users to transfer their LP collections to CD, as well as to record from other analogue sources like tapes, radio or even live music.New CD Text functionAlso incorporated in the CDR 779 is the CD Text function. This allows the consumer to put in text information like the album, artist or track name. The CDR 779 can record this CD Text information when making an internal recording from one deck to the other. When making CD recordings users can also enter their own personal texts per complete disc, per track or per artist, each of up to 60 characters. The text is then shown on the display during playback. Furthermore, also CD Text on pre-recorded discs will be displayed when playing the disc back in a Philips Audio CD Recorder.
