AUTOMATIC DIGITAL-SOURCE SYNCHRO RECORDING

C. Automatic finalization recording 1 4 2

This operation automatically performs finalization after an all-track recording (only S/P DIF). Finalization is the final process in recording a CD-R or CD-RW disc that is playable on standard CD players.

However, CD-RW discs, whether finalized or not, can only be played back on a CD-RW disc player. See page 31 for details.

•After loading the disc, check that the CD-R or CD-RW indicator stops blinking and starts to light steadily.

In case it does not light steadily, refer to page 42.

•The AES/EBU digital input cannot be recorded with this function.

•The ANALOG input cannot be recorded with this function.

•Confirm the track to be recorded before recording.

•Every time the DIGITAL SYNCHRO button is pressed, the mode is changed in order of 1-SYNC ➔ AL-SYNC ➔ Record-pause mode.

Select "AL-SYNC" when all-track recording is required.

•Press the FINALIZE button once again so that the FINALIZE indicator goes out; the Automatic Finalization will not occur (mode will revert to All-track synchro).

•Do not start the playback of the source player until the SYNC indicator starts to blink.

•The source unit stops playback and after no signal(less than - 90dB) condition lasts for the length set by the MENU button functions(see page 24), the unit reverts to the status noted in step 4 and "AL-SYNC" is displayed again.

Be careful not to restart playback of the source player under this condition, for this will start the recording again.

•Never turn off the power during finalization!

6 When playback of the source is started, the All-track synchro recording starts.

When the SYNC indicator is flashing (all-track synchro recording standby), or during all- track synchro recording, if the input signal is interrupted or the source is switched to a source for which auto synchro recording is not possible, the all-track synchro recording mode will be canceled and the unit will enter the record-pause mode.

7 When the source playback standby continues for more than 1 minute during an ALL-TRACK SYNCHRO RECORDING, the recorder assumes that the recording has stopped and finali- zation starts automatically.

•It usually takes about 4 minutes until the finalization completes.

•See page 31 for details.

•The finalize-standby mode can be cancelled by pressing the stop ( ) button or FINAL- IZE button while the unit is in the finalize-standby mode.

•Operating buttons do not respond when finalization has begun.

•Operation stops automatically without performing finalization when no more recording time remains or when there are 99 or more tracks.
