5 – Recording

This section explains how to record on CD-R/CD-RW media inserted in the disc tray, and how to use various recording functions.

Before you record

Understanding the following points will help you avoid unnecessary problems when recording. Before record- ing, please take a moment to read these.

The CD specification allows no more than 99 tracks (songs) to be recorded on a disc. Also, it is not possible to record a song that is shorter than four seconds.

If you press the STOP button or PAUSE button less than four seconds after you start recording, the recorder will stop or enter record-ready mode only after four seconds have elapsed. Silence will be recorded during this time.

If the number of songs reaches 99 during record- ing, the display will indicate “Disc Full!” and “PMA Writing” and then the recorder will stop.

If the available recording time of the disc is com- pletely used up while recording, a fade-out will be performed. Then the display will indicate “Disc Full!” and “PMA Writing” and the recorder will stop.

If you insert a disc that has been partially recorded (and not yet finalized), recording will continue following the already-recorded portion.

If you want to record additional material on a CD-

RW that has already been finalized, you can un- finalize the disc (p.31).

Selecting the input signal

You can select one of the following three input signals (recording sources).

INPUT SELECT button

Press the INPUT SELECT button on the front panel to select the recording source.

Each time you press the button, you will cycle between the following three recording sources. The currently selected recording source is shown by the state of the following indicators.

[ANALOG] lit

The input signal of ANALOG IN (UNBALANCED) jacks L/R is selected as the recording source.

The display will briefly indicate “Analog”.

[DIGITAL] and [OPTICAL] lit

The input signal of the DIGITAL IN (OPTICAL) jack is selected as the recording source.

The display will briefly indicate “Optical”.

[DIGITAL] and [COAXIAL] lit

The input signal of the DIGITAL IN (COAXIAL) jack is selected as the recording source.

The display will briefly indicate “Coaxial”.

Using the sample rate converter

The CDR632 always records at 44.1 kHz (the CD sampling rate). If you wish to digitally record a signal of a different sampling rate from a DIGITAL IN jack (OPTICAL/COAXIAL), you must turn on the sample rate converter (SRC) as follows.

1As described in “Basic operation in Menu mode” (p.12), access the “SRC?” menu item and press the ENTER button.

The display will indicate “SRC> XXX” (you can select ON or OFF).

2Turn the MULTI JOG dial to turn the SRC on/ off.

3To return from menu mode to normal mode, press the MENU button or the ENTER button.

Note

If a signal is being received from the DIGITAL INPUT jack (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) when the SRC is off, the [DIGITAL] indicator on the display will blink while recording, record-ready, or monitoring.

Digital signals other than 44.1 kHz cannot be recorded if the SRC is off. If you attempt to record, an error message of “Not Fs44.1K!” is displayed.

Adjusting the input signal

Here’s how to adjust the level of the input signal.

1Make sure that your recording source (e.g., playback unit) is connected to the jack(s) you selected as the recording source.
