Starting tracks in time increments

If you aren't able to set track numbers automatically during recording (a radio program with interviews, for example), you might want to have the recorder start tracks after every three minutes or so. This will make it easier to listen back to sections of the recording at a later date. You can set the time increment to either one, three, or five minutes.

Note: The time increment will default to OFF when: recording is stopped; auto track numbering is turned off; power is switched off.

1Press MENU/DELETE.

2Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) until T. INC. appears in

the display, then press to ENTER.

The display shows the current time increment: one, three, five minutes, or OFF. The default is OFF.

3Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) to change the time increment.

4Press the jog dial to ENTER.

Changing the recording speed

The recorder defaults to double (x2) speed, but if you want to listen to the CD as it's recorded, single (x1) speed is better. This feature is only available when recording from the CD changer.

1Prepare for recording

REC MODE must be pressed before going to step 2. See pages 20–23 for step-by-step recording instructions.

2Press 41 or Á¢ (CD-R side)

to switch the copying speed.

The Hi indicator shows the selected speed (x1 or x2).

Note: When copying at double speed, you can only monitor the recording through the analog outputs, or through a pair of headphones. No signal is output from the digital outputs.

Setting the recording level

When recording commercially produced CDs, the recording level has already been optimized and you don't need to change it. Boosting the level will generally result in distortion where there are peaks in the music. If you're recording a non- commercially produced CD that has been consistently under- recorded, you may need to boost the level.

If you're putting together a mix CD of tracks from different discs you might find that some tracks sound louder than others because average volumes vary. To even this out you may want to reduce the recording level of some tracks.

This feature is only available when recording from the CD changer.

Note: If you are recording DTS encoded audio CDs or HDCD format CDs, the digital recording level must be set to 0dB for recording.
