RECORDING GENERAL

English

Basic information

We will describe:

–Digital recording from internal CDC (fast or normal recording).

–Recording from external CD player:

–Digital

–Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)

–Analog

–Finalizing discs:

Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:

–play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player

–play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player

•The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.

Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

•It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

•If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that recording can start from there.

•For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum of recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Else, NOT FITTING is displayed and you cannot enter into the record standby mode.

•When you try to record a copy protected material from an external source, COPY PROTECT will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then.

•The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows digital recording under specific conditions:

–This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital copy.

–Analog recording is always possible !

–The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

•Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop automatically.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any regular CD player, it must first be finalized. See finalizing discs.

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD players.

For recording from external CD changers do not use AUX MANUAL, but AUX TRACK or AUX CD.

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording. DLR will always become active, when you make normal recordings in listen mode.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc have a similar volume level. Always the already recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of the following recordings. ALC is active, when ALC is shown.

Auto level control becomes active, when:

–COMPILE CD is being used,

–a disc, a track or a track edit (A-B) is being high speed recorded,

–a program from the CD changer is being high speed recorded.

Auto level control will not become active, when:

–CD™CD is being used for an empty CDR(W),

–making recordings from an external source, or

–making normal recordings in listen mode.
