(4)Before Starting to Record

•Turn on the power. To record from the analog input, it is recommended to turn on the power at least 5 minutes before starting to record. This eliminates fluctuations of the A/D converter DC offset, reduces the amount of DC offset at the recording start position, in the middle of the recording and at the recording end position, and keeps the DC offset constant. DC offset hinders the auto cue function for detecting the point where the sound starts at low levels and the auto track increment function which detects soundless sections.

•Load a recordable disc. There are 60-minute and 74-minute recordable discs. For a description of recordable discs, see the section “Method of Recording on Discs” below. It is not possible to record on discs which are already recorded and have little free space left or on playback only discs.
