Digital synchro recording

If you have a CD, MD, DAT or DCC player connected to either of the digital inputs of this recorder, you can make digital recordings from it very simply using this mode.

Note that double speed recording is not possible in this mode.

1Make sure that any discs loaded in the CD changer are stopped.

2Load a CDÐR or CDÐRW disc.

If it’s a blank disc, the display shows NEW DISC.

If the disc isn’t blank, use the DISPLAY button to check that there's enough space on it for what you want to record.

3Press INPUT to choose optical or

coaxial input.

Pressing INPUT repeatedly switches the active input:

ANALOG – OPTICAL 1 – OPTICAL 2 – COAXIAL

The recorder's display indicates the current input.

4If you want to adjust the recording

level:

Start playing a sample of the source material, then turn the REC VOL knob to adjust the recording level (clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to reduce). Use the level meter to guage the the best recording level (the loudest sounds in the source should just reach 0dB on the meter; the red segments in the level meter should not light at all).

•Push the REC VOL knob for 3 seconds to reset the recording level. This means that the recording level will be the same as the source.

5Make sure that the source is not

playing, then press SYNCHRO.

Digital synchro recording will not work if the source is already playing!

Pressing SYNCHRO repeatedly switches the synchro mode:

•1-track synchro – recorder stops recording when it encounters a new track number/start ID on the source or 2 seconds of silence.

•all-track synchro – recorder stops recording when it detects more than 5 seconds of silence in the source material.

•all-track with finalize – as all-track synchro, but the recorder automatically finalizes the disc after recording.

The SYNCRO indicator and SYNC(-1)will start to blink when the recorder is ready.

To cancel recording here, press 7.

6Play the source.

The recorder starts recording automatically.

Press DISPLAY to switch displays during recording.

7The recorder goes into record-pause

after recording.

Be careful: In all-track synchro mode, if the recorder detects another signal, recording starts again.

•If you're using all-track synchro with finalize, the recorder will start finalizing the disc after a minute of silence.

•Press 7to finish the recording before ejecting the disc.

If you find that digital synchro recording does not seem to work, see Digital synchro recording troubleshooting on page 47 for possible remedies.
