1With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU key (9 or 7) until the display shows: S_LVL>> xxdB, where xx is the cur- rent value.

2Turn the MULTI JOG control B or use the SKIP keys Ito change the value between - 24, -30,-36,-42,-48,-54,-60,

-66, and -72dB.

Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24) mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start of the synchronized recording. A high numerical value (towards –72) means that a relatively quiet sig- nal will trigger the start of recording.

The conditions under which an input signal is used as the trigger to start recording are:

•when recording digitally, a digital start signal is detected, and audio is subsequently detected

•the sound level rises above the threshold (see below) after having been below the threshold for one second or more. Note that the diagram below represents a special case (the source is stopped or paused) of the more general condition, as explained later:

To start synchronized recording when the source is stopped or in pause mode:

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

2Start playing the source. The pause indicator disappears from the display, and the unit starts recording.

The conditions under which synchronized recording stops are:

•when recording digitally, an appropriate digital sig- nal is detected. If the signal is detected from a CD, the unit enters record ready mode after 2 seconds.

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