How to Record continued

AUTO TRACK

When recording with AUTO TRACK ON the CDR300 will automatically increment tracks.

If AUTO TRACK is ON and the source of recording is a digital source that has tracks, such as a CD player connected to the AUX IN jacks or a source input via the DIGITAL IN jack (CD/MD), those tracks will be included in your recording. This source data is usually found only in an SPDIF format digital connection.

If AUTO TRACK is ON and the source is digital (without track data) or analog, the CDR300 will use a silence gap to mark a track. When the source audio signal drops below -80dB for digital, or -40dB for analog, for 3 seconds or more and then rises to above those levels, the CDR300 will mark a new track and continue recording.

You can manually introduce a new track when AUTO TRACK is ON or OFF by pushing TR INC on the remote.

AUTO STOP

When recording with AUTO STOP ON the CDR300 will automatically stop after a period of silence. The silence will be recorded onto the last track of the recording session.

When recording with AUTO STOP ON from an analog source, the recording will stop after recording 20 seconds of silence (a signal lower than -40dB). When recording with AUTO STOP ON from a digital source (without track and stop data), the recording will stop after recording 4 seconds of silence (a signal lower than -80dB).
