5−Recording

Before you start recording using the CD-RW900, make sure that you understand the following key points:

≠Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased from it.

≠You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, re- freshed and re-recorded.

Input selection

To select the input to be recorded, press the INPUT SELECT key on the main unit.

Repeated presses of the key cycle through the follow- ing options:

ANALOG

Analog

OPTICAL

Optical digital in

COAXIAL

Coaxial digital in

In the case of either the coaxial or optical inputs being selected, the appropriate indicator: COAXIAL or OPTI- CAL, lights on the right of the screen.

If the analog signal is selected, the ANALOG indicator lights on the right of the screen.

Analog recording level The level of the analog signals received at the ANALOG IN jacks are controlled with the INPUT controls.

When recording analog signals, set the digital volume to 0 dB.

Digital recording level The level of the digital signal may be controlled using the digital volume menu, as de- scribed below.

1Call up the VOLUME option in the REC sub-menu (refer to “Operation basics” on page 14).

Push the MULTI JOG dial to enter the function on.

2Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to adjust the input vol- ume between -54dB and +18 dB (relative to the original input level).

There is also a -‹setting which represents a com- plete signal cut. The display shows Vol> ---dBfor the -‹setting.

3Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to enter the setting and return to normal mode.

Input monitoring

When the unit is in record ready, or record mode, the input signal is output from the OUT jacks (digital and analog), allowing you to hear the input signal.

1Press the RECORD key on the front panel or the re- mote control when a recordable disc is not inserted.

Frequency conversion

The word Monitor appears on the display to show that the output signal is an echo of the input signal(s).

2Exit the monitor mode by using the STOP key.

The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The CD- RW900 will always record (and play back) CDs at this frequency.

However, if recording through a digital connection (either coaxial or optical) and the source has been re- corded at a frequency other than 44.1 kHz, or is being played back at a non-standard speed using a varispeed unit (more than 1% away from the standard), the CD- RW900’s internal frequency converter: SRC (Sampling rate convertor) will automatically convert the incoming frequency to 44.1 kHz.

To set the SRC

Press the MENU key and select the SRC? option in the REC sub-menu (refer to “Operation basics” on

page 14).

Rotate the MULTI JOG dial and select ON.

Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to enter and return to normal mode.

NOTE

When the SRC function is off, receiving digital signals, the display shows the REC indicator flashing while re- cording or recording standby mode.

The digital signals other than 44.1kHz cannot be re- corded when SRC is off. The error message Not Fs44.1k! will appear on the display.
