Tascam CD-RW2000 owner manual Sound level drops below the threshold level for five seconds

If the signal is detected from an MD, the unit enters record ready mode immediately:

Note that the trigger level is not used here.

If you set the threshold value so that only high-level signals trigger recording, remember that this will not record the start of a piece with a slow fade-in:

level

Recording starts

S_LVL

This part of the track is not recorded

time

Also remember that when recording from an analog source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher than the “noise floor” (the base level of hiss, pops and crackles which may come from an older vinyl recording, for example). If the “noise floor” is higher than the threshold, synchronized recording will not

take place (the rehearsal facility can be used here (4.5, “Rehearsal”) to help):

level	Start of track is not registered
	Noise is higher
	than threshold
S_LVL
	time

Because synchronized recording can be turned on and off while recording is taking place, it is therefore possible to record with a synchronized automatic start, and a manual end, or vice versa.

When the source material is being played back before synchronized recording is enabled, the condi- tions under which synchronized recording will start (after synchronized recording has been enabled) are:

When the signal drops below the threshold for one second or more and then rises above the threshold again (this is the general condition, of which starting synchronized recording from a stopped or paused source is a special case):

	Recording
	starts
	At least 1
level	second
S_LVL
	time

Alternatively, when recording digitally from sources (MD, CD and DAT) which output track divisions, synchronized recording starts when a track division is received, regardless of the level:

Track signal from source starts recording

level

S_LVL

time

To stop synchronized recording:

1The unit must be in record mode, and the SYNC indicator in the display must be lit.
