RECORDING (5) – ANALOG-SOURCE RECORDING

Recording level adjustment

AAdjustment reference

When recording 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.

BLevel meter

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

aEach segment lights when the indicated level is exceeded. b Lights between –1 dBfs and under 0 dBfs.

c Lights at levels greater than 0 dBfs.

CTrack number write operation

Standard CD-digital audio contains the recording of track numbers so individual tracks can be selected and played. When recording with a CD-R recorder, however, you need to write the tracks 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 track change from the digital source. When recording a source which does not contain track number information, such as an analog source, satellite broadcast (DBS) or DVD, track numbers can be assigned either automatically or manually.

Automatic track writing is performed when the AUTO TRACK indicator lights in the display. This function assumes that silent passages longer than two seconds mark the area between two tracks and automatically starts a new track number when a sound is detected next. Depending on the nature of the source being recorded, the minimum level required to indicate the area between tracks can be adjusted (page 66).

Occasionally, passages with a low input level or noise during passages that are supposed to be silent causes the automatic track writing function to misjudge where new track numbers should be created. In cases like these, it may be beneficial to create track numbers manually. With manual track writing, you can assign track numbers anywhere you like within the recording. However, no more than 99 tracks can be written on a disc, and tracks cannot be shorter than four seconds in length. (Please remember that it is impossible to add track numbers once recording has been completed.)

For the automatic and manual track writing procedures, refer to page 80.
