Recording on a CD-R/CD-RW

English

Before You Start Recording

•This unit has been designed to record on the following discs — both blank and unfinalized CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD Rewritable (CD-RW).

•It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

•The sampling frequency rate converter built in the unit allows you to record a digital source if its sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no playback component is connected to the OPTICAL IN terminal or if the sampling frequency of the connected component is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “UN LOCK” appears on the display (no recording is possible).

The sampling frequency indicator (32, 44, 48) lights up to indicate the sampling frequency of the incoming signals through the OPTICAL IN terminal.

•You cannot record the entire Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround signals through the OPTICAL IN terminal.

•When you record onto an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW, its recordings are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track on the disc.

If you want to record on such a CD-RW from its beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing the Tracks on a CD - RW” on page 14. This is only possible on CD-RWs).

•The recording level is automatically set correctly when recording through the digital terminals, so it is not affected by the REC LEVEL control.

•When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded, this unit checks the disc and automatically adjusts the laser for optimum recording setting — Optimum Power Control (OPC).

Using Automatic Tracking while Digital Recording

Press AUTO TRACK so that the AUTO TRACK indicator lights up on the display. A track marking is automatically recorded.

• Each time you press the button, automatic tracking turns on and off.

AUTO

TRACK

The AUTO TRACK indicator lights up.

When automatic track marking is activated:

Track markings are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change.

Note:

When “ANALOG” is selected as the recording source (see page 12), automatic track marking is canceled temporarily. (The AUTO TRACK indicator goes off.)

When automatic track marking is deactivated:

No track mark is recorded on a disc. This means that, when playing this disc, this unit (or another CD player compatible with CD-R/CD-RW) will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to directly select a song or navigate through songs.

To put a track mark manually while recording, press

SET at the place you want to put a track mark.
