Recording a CD-DA track (Creating an audio CD)

You can record analog or digital audio to a disc in the CD-DA format. By finalizing a CD-DA disc on which one or more CD-DA tracks are recorded, an audio CD is created. You can export audio tracks on a finalized CD-DA disc to a Windows computer or play them back by a normal CD player. The following description assumes that a CD-DA formatted blank CD-R (or CD-RW) disc is loaded (you can only make 44.1kHz Fs/16-bit recordings with a CD-DA disc). <Note>: An audio

track recorded on a CD-DA formatted CD-RW disc may not be played back by a normal CD player.

Starting recording

•Press the [REC RDY] key to enter the record ready mode.

The display changes to show the input monitor screen, on which you can see the remaining recordable time and the number of the tracks on the disc.

You can check the input level for recording. When the analog input is selected, you can adjust the input levels for left and right channels using the [INPUT LEVEL] controls. See "Adjusting recording levels" described earlier in this chapter for details about how to adjust the input levels.

•Press the [RECORD] key to start recording.

When you start recording, the input monitor screen changes as the screen example below. While recording is in progress, the time indication is counted up, whereas the remaining recordable time is counted down (during recording, "" is shown beside the time indication).

<Note>: In order not to miss the beginning of the audio input source, we recommend starting the recorder first.

On the input monitor screen, the "NEXT-R" field shows the track number currently being recorded.

Stopping recording

•To stop recording, press the [STOP/HOME] key.

After finishing post-processing of recording ("Please Wait..." is shown on the display), the disc stops at the last recording position.
