CAUTION:
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
UNIT!: This product, when installed as indicated in the
instructions contained in this manual, meets FCC
requirements. Modifications not expressly approved by
Vocopro may void your authority, granted by the FCC,
to use this product.
1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, v
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to
rain and water.
2. IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to
accessories and/or another product use only high
quality shielded cables. Cable(s) supplied with this
product MUST be used. Follow all installation
instructions. Failure to follow instructions could void your
FCC authorization to use this product in the U.S.A.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
3. NOTE: This product has been tested and found to
comply with the requirements listed in FCC Regulations,
Part 15 for Class "B" digital devices. Compliance with
these requirements provides a reasonable level of
assurances that your use of this product in a residential
environment will not result in harmful interference with
other electronic devices. This equipment
generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed
and used according to the instructions found in the
owner's manual, may cause interference harmful to the
operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with
FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference
will not occur in all installations. If this product is found
to be the source of interference, which can be
determined by turning the unit "Off" and "On", please try
to eliminate the problem by using one of the following
measures:
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation.
Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will cause the
internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When
moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect
the power plug and the cords connecting to other
equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on common
operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.
Relocate either this product or the device that is being
affected by the interference.
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the
power switch is turned off. We recommend that you unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to
be used for a long time. This will save electricity and help
prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Use power outlets that are on different branch (circuit
breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter(s).
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient
the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300-ohm ribbon
lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory
results, please contact your local retailer authorized to
distribute Vocopro products. If you can not locate the
appropriate retailer, please contact Vocopro, 1728
Curtiss Court, La Verne, CA 91750.
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other
equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system
farther away from such equipment if interference is
observed.
NOTE:
Please check the copyright laws in your country
before recording from records, compact discs,
radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may
infringe copyright laws.
CAUTION
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power
source so long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the apparatus itself is turned off. To fully insure
that the apparatus is indeed fully void if residual power,
leave unit disconnected from the AC outlet for at least
fifteen seconds.

Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume
of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your
protection.
Some common decibel ranges:
Level
Example
30

Recording onto a Disc
Preparing to Record
• If using a CD-R, make sure that there is not already data stored on the disc as you will be unable to burn
anything onto it.
• If you are going to rewrite onto a CD-RW*, be sure to erase the data using the ERASE feature on the CDR-
1000 PRO before recording. See the Erasing instructions in this manual.
• If using an 8cm CD-R/RW disc, you must use the Digital input on the rear panel of the CDR-1000 PRO.
The Analog input does not support 8cm CD-R/RW.
NOTE: Be sure that your disc is clean and in good shape for recording. Excessive dust, scratches, markings,
etc. could prevent successful recording.
NOTE: Make sure all players or mixers are connected to the proper inputs and outputs of the CDR-1000
PRO.
* Most standard CD players (Car audio, home audio, etc.) do not support CD-RW discs. If using CD-RW
discs, make sure that your CD player specifies that it is CD-RW compatible.

Operations cont.
Finalizing a Disc
After you have finished recording onto a disc, you will need to FINALIZE it so that it will be compatible with
standard disc players. If a disc has not been finalized, it can only be played back in the CDR-1000 PRO.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
There is no power when the power switch is turned on.
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the
AC IN terminal on the back of the CDG-1000 PRO.
• Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the
power outlet or the surge protector/power strip.
• Make sure your surge protector/power strip is plugged
in and turned on.
The input source (i.e. disc player, karaoke machine) is
playing but there is no sound from the output source
(i.e. amp or mixer).
• Press the record button to switch the CDG-1000 PRO
to recording mode. The input audio can only be heard
when the CDG-1000 PRO is in recording mode.
• Make sure the audio ins and outs are connected prop-
erly.
• If using the Analog RCA inputs be sure the CDR-1000
PRO is in ANALOG mode and if using the DIGITAL input
make sure it is in DIGITAL mode.
The LED display says “ERROR! FINALIZED DISC”.
The LED display says “ERROR! CDRW DISC ONLY”.
The final recording sounds too loud or distorted.
• If the disc is finalized, it cannot be recorded on. Put in
a blank or non-”Finalized” disc for recording.
• This happens if you try to ERASE a CD-R. The ERASE
function only works on CD-Rewritables (CD-RWs).
• The recording volume may have been set too high. Try
re-recording and adjust the recording volume so that the
bars on the Input Volume meter do not reach the orange
bars.
I am unable to record onto an 8cm CD-R/RW disc.
• Make sure you are connected to the Digital input. The
Analog input does not support 8cm discs.
The CD-RW disc will not play in my CD player (Car audio,
home audio, etc.)
• Most standard CD players (Car audio, home audio,
etc.) do not support CD-RW discs. If using CD-RW discs,
make sure that your CD player specifies that it is CD-RW
compatible.
