5 – Recording CDs—Advanced recording

During dubbing with auto track enabled, the trigger level (“Setting the trigger level” on page 29) is fixed at –24 dB and cannot be changed.

This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is not loaded in the drive.

It is also possible to perform manual recording to disc from the RIAA PHONO source. This is the same

as the standard manual recording procedure (“Basic recording” on page 26), except that the PHONO input option should be selected (INPUT 1 SEL key) before recording starts.

NOTE

It is not possible to make manual recordings from the RIAA PHONO source to tape.

Advanced recording

These sections cover more advanced recording techniques.

Setting the trigger level

The signal level which may be used with synchro- nized recording operations (here called the “trigger level” or “threshold”) is set as below:

1With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU key until the display shows: S_LVL>> xxdB, where xx is the current value.

2Turn the MULTI JOG control or use the SKIP keys to change the value between -24, -30,

-36,-42,-48,-54,-60,-66, and -72 dB.

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.

NOTE

When dubbing from tape to disc (“Dubbing from tape to disc” on page 27) and auto track enabled, this level is fixed at –30 dB. When dubbing from a RIAA PHONO source with auto track on, the level is fixed at –24 dB.

Synchronized recording

Synchronized recording basically means that record- ing will begin automatically when a signal is received, and will stop when the signal ends.

Use the SYNC REC key to select the synchronization mode. The synchronization mode determines the automated start and stopping of recording when a signal is received.

Repeated presses of this key cycle through the fol- lowing modes:

•SYNC ALL

•SYNC 1

•SYNC OFF

as shown in the display.

To enable or disable synchronized recording:

1A recordable disc must be loaded.

2Press the SYNC REC key to select SYNC

ALL or SYNC 1.

3Press the RECORD key.

4Start playback of the source.

Starting playback of the source automatically starts recording on the CC-222MKII if SYNC ALL or SYNC 1 has been selected (see “Sync recording (start)” on page 30) and manual record start is dis- abled. If SYNC OFF is selected, the recording must be started manually.

Note that the PAUSE key cannot be used to pause synchronized recording.

The sync modes are related to the trigger level (as explained above).
