Manual recording
Use the manual recording method with a source where syncho recording is not suitable. For example, if you are recording from a digital source that does not have ID flags, synchro recording is not possible since there are no track numbers or start IDs to signal the start and end points of the recording. Manual recording is also useful with a noisy analog source, such as an old recording, or from a source with long quiet sections, where the recorder may not recognize the end of tracks.
1 Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.
2 Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose an input.
Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:
Analog - Optical - Coaxial
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
3 Press RECORD ¦ ( ¦ REC on the remote control).
The recorder goes into record- pause. (You can also press MONITOR.)
4 Start playing the source to check the signal.
If necessary, set the recording level (see page 23).
If the signal appears OK, stop the source.
5Check that the time display reads 00:00, then press 8 or 3 (6 on the front
panel) to start recording.
If you pressed MONITOR in step 3, you’ll need to press RECORD ¦ here, then 8 or 3 (6) to start recording.
6 Restart playback of the source material.
If the AUTO TRACK indicator is lit in the display then the recorder will start a new track each time it detects a sound after at least two seconds of continuous silence. (To switch off auto track numbering see Manually numbering tracks on page 33.)
7 When you're done, press 7.
After pressing 7, the display shows PMA REC while it records the track information to the disc.
