Recording level adjustment

• Adjustment reference

For recording of analog input, adjust the recording level so that the OVER-level indicator does not light even when the highest, or peak level is input. Sound may be distorted if the OVER-level indicator lights.

• Level meter

The level meter segments light to indicate the input level during recording or play level during playback.

Lights at between –1 dB and below 0 dB.

Each lights when the indicated level is exceeded.

Lights at 0 dB or more.

• Minimum recording time per track

As the CD specifications dictate that each CD track should be no less than 4 seconds, even when the pause ( ) or stop ( ) button is pressed in less than 4 seconds after the start of recording, recording does not pause or stop until a 4-second track is created by leaving a non-recorded blank in the insufficient period.

In this case, the next operation cannot be activated until a 4-second track has been created.

•Track number write operation

Ordinary CD-digital audio contains the recording of track numbers so desired tracks can be selected and played. When recording with a CD-R recorder, however, you need to write the track numbers yourself. When recording from digital sources containing track number information (such as a CD, MD, DAT, or DCC), a new track number is recorded automatically when this unit detects a change track number information and sound from the digital source. In case of recording of a source which does not contain track number information such as an analog source or satellite broadcasting (BS), you must write a new track number by yourself between tracks. (Be specially sure not to forget this for it is not possible to add track numbers once recording has completed.)

For the track number write operation procedure, refer to page 26.
