Introduction

Recording CDs from the disc changer has several advantages over recording from an external CD player.

•Double speed recording lets you record a disc in half the regular time.

•Automatic spacing when individual tracks are recorded.

•Automatic SCMS copying makes sure that, whenever possible, you'll get a digital copy. In the event of a disc preventing digital copying with SCMS, the link beween the changer and the CD-R automatically switches to analog.

Recording a CD

If you want to duplicate a CD exactly as it is, the easiest way is to follow the steps in Quick CD recording on page 13. The instruc- tions here give you a little more control over the recording you make.

1Load the CD you want to copy in to

the CD changer.

You can use any of the three disc trays in the changer.

2Load a CD-R or CD-RW into the

CD-R tray.

If the disc isn't blank, make sure that there is enough space on the disc for what you want to record (see Switching the Display on pages 16–18 to check this).

3Press REC MODE.

The display shows DISC REC.

If you want to switch the copying speed, do so here. The default is 2x speed. See Changing the recording speed on page 28 to change it.

4If you want the disc finalized after

recording, press FINALIZE.

The FINALIZE indicator blinks.

Remember: Finalizing a CD-R fixes the tracks on the disc—you can't record anything else on to the disc, but it does become playable on most ordinary CD players.

5Press the DISC (CD SELECT on the front panel) button for the disc you

want to record.

If you want to adjust the recording level, do so here. The default is 0dB. See Setting the recording level on page 28 to adjust it.

6Press CD =CD-R START (front panel

only).

The recorder starts copying the disc. If FINALIZE is on, the recorder will finalize the disc after copying it.

•If the button is blinking, there’s not enough space on the disc for what you want to record. Press again to start recording anyway, or press 7to cancel.
