<Note>

If the program time shows “00: 00” when selecting a pro- gram as the screen example below, the “Start” and “End” points are not correctly set.

In other words, in the following conditions, the “Start” and “End” points are not regarded as being correctly set.

“Start point” = “End point” “Start point” > “End point”

If you press the [ENTER/YES] key after selecting such a program, the warning message as below appears on the display and you cannot select the program.

Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.

The display shows the screen in which the last pro- gram number of the current drive flashes.

Its program title and recording time are also shown, while the total time of songs is shown at the top of the screen.

Data between the "Start point" and "End point" is trans- ferred to an audio CD.

Before executing recording, we recommend you to con- firm that the actual audio in the program starts just after the "Start point" and ends just before "End point".

“Void In!”, “Void Out!”, or “Void Data!”

<Note>

It is possible to select a program that is not inter- nal mastering if it holds the correct “Start” and “End” points.

However, if you record such a program to a CD- RW/CD-R disc with the audio CD format, only track 1 and 2 can be recorded.

So, make sure that you select programs properly when making an audio CD.
