High-Speed Dubbing

You can use the high-speed dubbing feature when copying a CD or programmed tracks from disc A in order to speed up the recording time. The quality of the recording is the same as when you record at normal speed.

1.Put the disc you want to copy in tray A.

2.If you want to copy programmed tracks, make sure the tracks are programmed properly (see Programming Tracks, page 13).

3.Press and release DUBB repeatedly until the desired setting is displayed, DUBB and 1X DISC (normal disc dubb), DUBB and 2X DISC (high-speed disc dubb), DUBB.1 and 1X TRK (normal track dubb), or DUBB.1 and 2X TRK (high-speed track dubb).

4.Press PLAY/PAUSE on side B of the unit (BUSY appears, then DUBB and REC appear).

BUSY appears, followed by UPDATE when the unit is finished recording.

To check the remaining record time, press REMAIN.

To return to normal speed dubbing, select 1X TRK or 1X DISC in step 3.

To stop recording, press STOP.

Finalizing Discs

You need to finalize both CD-Rs and CD-RWs to make them readable on other players.

Important: Once a CD-R has been finalized, you can’t record anything else on it. A CD-RW can be erased and re-recorded once it has been finalized, but you must first unfinalize it. Also, once you start finalizing a disc, it can’t be cancelled.

1.Make sure the disc you want to finalize is in tray B.

2.Press FINALIZE, then PLAY/PAUSE on side B of the unit (FINALIZE appears, then BUSY appears, and the time left to complete finalization counts down).

Finalization takes 2 minutes or more. When finished, the recorder displays the total number of tracks and the total time for the disc.
