Fostex CR300 Recording from the middle of a disc, Recording of other-than-audiosignals

CAUTION:

Do not play the DAT or DCC of the source player with programmed playback, for this may lead to incorrect writing of the track numbers. If programmed playback should be recorded, record each track separately using the 1-track recording procedure.

Recording from the middle of a disc

If a CD-R or CD-RW disc before finalization has some remaining recording time left and the total number of tracks which have been recorded is below 99, recording can be restarted from the position after the last recorded track.

Recording of other-than-audio signals

This unit is designed exclusively for recording audio signals. Non-audio signals such as the CD-ROM play signal cannot be recorded. Recording is possible only when the input digital signal is an audio signal.

Even when a digital signal contains a graphic or character information signal, for example the CD graphics play signal is input, the graphic or character information is not recorded.

Precautions regarding power interruptions during recording or while the display shows "PMA REC."

Never turn the power supply off during recording.

Be always sure to remove the disc before turning the power of the unit off.

In case the power supply is interrupted due to power failure or unplugging of the power cord by mistake during recording;

the last part of the recording will not be possible.

In this case, "RESUME" is displayed until recording is possible again.

Caution in case the digital input is interrupted during recording

In case the sampling frequency from the digital signal of DAT, DCC or satellite broadcasting is switched during recording, the digital input is interrupted but recording is continued. A non-recorded blank is recorded in this period. In case the satellite broadcasting signal is interrupted, the digital signal line is disconnected or the power supply of the source player is cut off and if the digital signal is recovered in less than about 5-seconds, recording is continued while recording a non-recorded blank in this period. If the digital signal is not recovered in 5-seconds or more, recording is interrupted and "CAN NOT" and "REC" are displayed; recording restarts when the digital audio signal is input after the recovery of the digital signal.

Cautions when making digital recordings from DAT

Be sure to enter the start IDs in DAT tapes in positions located before the start of sound.

Tapes that are recorded using the DAT auto ID function records the start ID slightly after the beginning of the actual recording. This recorder uses the start ID to sense the transition between tracks in a digital recording from DAT tape.

Thus the following problems could occur when automatic updating of track numbers is used during automatic digital-source synchro recording or manual digital-source recording.

The beginning of a track is not recorded.

A new track number is created slightly after the beginning of a new track. The beginning of the next track is recorded at the end of a recording.

Manual recording of the DAT tape start ID is therefore recommended to avoid these problems. For information on DAT operations, refer to the Owner's Manual provided with the DAT recorder.
