INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon.
The CDR 20 CD Player/Recorder is a unique
product, designed not only to play back your
existing library of compact discs, but also to
record compact discs from either analog or digi-
tal programs. You may feed signals (for record-
ing) to the CDR 20 from external sources such
as an A/V receiver, a tuner, a tape deck or a CD
player, or you may simply place a CD in one
deck, and make a copy using a recordable CD
in the other deck.
Designed and engineered by Harman Kardon,
the CDR 20 is among the first audio CD
recorders with x4 speed capability. This means
that it will take only 15 minutes to copy a 
60-minute disc.
The CDR 20 not only records with the highest
speed and quality available but it is also an
audiophile CD player. Through the use of 
audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converters
(DACs), the CDR 20’s performance rivals the
most sophisticated high-end players. Should
you wish to bypass the internal DACs and use
an external digital processor, coax and optical
digital outputs are available. Thanks to the CDR
20’s dual-tray design, you may even play back
two separate discs at the same time, for parties
or multi-room applications. To make CD play-
back more enjoyable, the CDR 20 also features
a wide range of program and repeat functions.
Since CD recorders are a relatively new technol-
ogy, this may be your first CD-R product.
Although CD recorders resemble play-only CD
machines in many ways, there are some impor-
tant differences between a standard CD and a
CD-R. In addition, making a CD-R recording is
also a different process than what you may be
familiar with for making audio tape or cassette
recordings. For that reason, we encourage you
to read through this manual so that you are
fully acquainted with the way CD recording
works. This small investment in your time will
pay major dividends in the enjoyment that will
result from proper use of the CDR 20.
If you have additional questions about this
product – its installation or operation – that are
not answered in this manual, please contact
your dealer, who is your best source of local
information. You may also contact Harman
Kardon via e-mail through our Web site at
www.harmankardon.com.

Important Information About CD
Recording
In order to get the most enjoyment from your
new CD-R recorder, please pay special attention
to the following sections of the manual that
provide information about the special features
and capabilities of CD Recorders.
■ The CDR 20 plays all standard CD audio
discs but for recording, the CDR 20 uses
special CD-R and CD-RW discs designed
only for audio use. CD-R discs designed for
computer use will not work in the CDR 20.
See page 14 for more information on which
types of discs are used with the CDR 20.
■ The last step in making a CD-R recording is
the finalization process. Unless this step is
properly done, the disc will not work in other
players. See page 22 for information on
finalizing discs.
■ Once finalized, CD-R discs will play in any
CD player, but CD-RW discs will only play in
the CDR 20 and certain other machines.
Check the specifications of your CD player if
you have questions about compatibility with
CD-RW discs.
■ As with all CD players, except those
designed specifically for portable use, you
should never move a CD player while there
is a disc inside one of the decks. NEVER
move the CDR 20 until discs have been
removed from both decks.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,
 do not use this (polarized) 
plug with an extension cord, 
receptacle or other outlet 
unless the blades can 
be fully inserted to 
prevent blade exposure.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, 
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to 
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s 
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a 
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to the 
presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 
literature accompanying the appliance.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Information
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your CDR 20 has been designed for use with
100- to 240-volt AC current. Connection to a
line voltage other than that for which it is
intended can create a safety and fire hazard
and may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your sell-
ing dealer before plugging the unit into a wall
outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
We do not recommend that extension cords be
used with this product. As with all electrical
devices, do not run power cords under rugs or
carpets or place heavy objects on them.
Damaged power cords should be replaced
immediately by an authorized service depot
with cords meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an
AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the
cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for
any considerable length of time, disconnect the
plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components
inside this product. Opening the cabinet may
present a shock hazard, and any modification
to the product will void your guarantee. If water
or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire
or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, dis-
connect it from the AC power source immedi-
ately, and consult an authorized service station.
CAUTION: The CDR 20 uses a laser system. To
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do
not open the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of
the safety mechanisms provided for your pro-
tection. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM.
To ensure proper use of this product, please
read this owner’s manual carefully and retain it
for future use. Should the unit require mainte-
nance or repair, please contact your local
Harman Kardon service station. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation and to avoid the
potential for safety hazards, place the unit
on a firm and level surface. When placing
the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf
and any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.
■ Make certain that proper space is provided
both above and below the unit for ventila-
tion. If this product will be installed in a
cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain
that there is sufficient air movement within
the cabinet.
■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted
surface.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immedi-
ately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene,
aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, as they may damage the finish of
metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near 
the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to discon-
nect any interconnection cords with other com-
ponents, and make certain that you disconnect
the unit from the AC outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the
CDR 20 which may not be covered by the war-
ranty, be certain that all discs are removed from
the unit before it is moved. Once the CDR 20 is
installed, discs may be left in the unit when it is
turned off, but the unit should NEVER be
moved with discs left in either deck.
Important Information for the User
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
The limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communication. However, there is no guar-
antee that harmful interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause
this unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and
collapsing the carton down to a more two-
dimensional appearance. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner.
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a
plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging mate-
rials, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
