Automatically recording and finalizing a disc

This is a variation on all-track synchro recording on the previous page. After all tracks on the source material have been recorded, the recorder automatically finalizes the disc.

Note: Any interruptions in the digital input source signal may cause the recorder to enter record pause, which may inhibit the finalization of the disc.

1 Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

2 Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose an input.

Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:

Analog - Optical - Coaxial

The display indicates the current input.

3Make sure that the source is not playing, then press

SYNCHRO three times.

Press SYNCHRO repeatedly to change the recording mode and select SYNC-FINAL

Synchro recording won't work if the source is already playing!

The recorder goes into all-sync record pause and the SYNC and FINALIZE indicators start to blink.

4 Getting started

The display shows all-track sync with finalization, with the SYNC and FINALIZE indicators blinking to show that recording can start.

Note: Please ensure that there are no long pauses in the source material, as this might cause the recorder to start the finalization process.

4 Play the source.

Recording starts automatically. If you press SYNCHRO during recording, the recorder will finish recording without finalizing the CD-R.

5After recording all tracks on the source, the recorder

starts finalizing the disc.

After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence, it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into all-sync record-pause. Be careful: If the recorder detects another signal or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again!

If the recorder detects no signal for one minute, finalization starts (no more recording is possible after this so make sure that there aren’t any spaces of more than one minute during the source you’re recording). See Automatically numbering tracks on page 33 to set the silence threshold.

Finalization takes about two minutes, during which time none of the buttons are operative.

Never turn the power off during finalization!

•If a digital signal is interrupted, the recorder continues recording. However, if no signal has been detected within five seconds, the recorder pauses recording and will not finalize the disc—see Digital signal interruptions on page 18.

•If the recorder reaches the end of the disc, the recorder begins finalization.

Note: If you find that synchro recording does not seem to work, see the troubleshooting section on pages 40–42 for possible remedies.
