Recording all tracks from a source

If you want to copy all the tracks from a source, use this mode. Like the 1-track synchro recording mode, the recorder starts and stops automatically. When recording from MD or CD, you can play the source in either normal play mode, or program play if you’d like the recorded tracks in a different order to the original. We do not recommend recording from a DAT in program play mode—use the 1- track synchro recording mode if you want to record the tracks in a different order.

If you are recording from a noisy analog source, such as a vinyl record, or from a source with long quiet sections, the recorder may not recognize the end of tracks. In this case, you can still use this mode, but it may be better to use manual track numbering (see page 33).

1Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

2Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose an input.

Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:

Analog - Optical - Coaxial

The recorder's display indicates the current input.

3Make sure that the source is not playing, then press SYNCHRO twice.

Press SYNCHRO repeatedly to change the recording mode:

The display shows the all-track sync mode, with the SYNC indicator blinking to show that recording can start.

4Play the source.

The recorder starts recording automati- cally.

5After recording all tracks from the source, the recorder goes into record-pause.

After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence, it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into record-pause and the display shows the SYNC ALL message again.

Be careful: If the recorder detects another signal or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again!

•The recorder will enter record-pause if the digital signal is interrupted for more than 5 seconds—see Digital signal interruptions on page 18.

6Press 7 to finish recording.

After pressing 7, the display shows PMA REC while it records the track information to the disc.

Note: If you find that synchro recording does not seem to work, see the trouble- shooting section on pages 40-42 for possible remedies.
