Recording onto the additional track

On a disk formatted in the [Normal mode] or the [Master- ing mode 1], real time recording is possible on the addi- tional track L and R.

However, when real time recording onto the additional track, unlike recording onto a real track, the additional track can- not be entered in the input monitor mode.

As shown in the chart below, the stereo bus L, R output sound is directly monitored by switching the monitor sec- tion SELECTOR to [L/R].

Additional Track R

Additional Track L

<Note>

When recording is attempted on the additional track on a disk for- matted in “Mastering mode 2,” [Can’t Rec] will be displayed and the recording mode canceled.

*When recording on the additional track, if the monitor section SE- LECTOR is set to [L/R] as shown in the chart below, the stereo bus L, R signal sound quality processed such as with an equalizer for ex- ample, can be monitored.

Also, if the SELECTOR is switched to [MON], and MON knob of the channel to which the sound source is input is rotated to the [INPUT] side, the pre-fader signal can be monitored. In other words, signals which have not been affected by the INPUT fader and equalizer, can be monitored.
