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

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.  
NOTE: The CDR-1000 PRO must be in Playback Mode in order to finalize a disc. Make sure it is not in  
Record Mode.  
Follow these steps to successfully FINALIZE your disc.  
1. Insert the disc into the CDR-1000 PRO’s disc tray and close the tray.  
2. If in Record Mode, press the STOP button to enter Playback Mode. The Finalizing function only works in  
Playback Mode  
3. Press the FINALIZE button.  
4. The display screen will ask you if you want to continue with the finalizing process. Press the START  
button to begin finalizing. The display screen will say “FINALIZING” until the process is finished. The display  
will show how much time is left in the Finalizing process.  
When the disc has been finalized, it is ready to be played in standard CD players. I.e. Car stereos, CD-  
ROM compatible drives, home stereos, etc.  
NOTE: You will not be able to burn any more music onto a disc once it has been finalized.

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.
