Cautions during recording

Recording mode for system setups

In the following situations, recording is not possible even if the oREC or CD DUBBING button is pressed.

•The CD indicator is lit (a CD or finalized CD-R has been inserted).

•The CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators are lit (a finalized CD-RW has been inserted).

•The inserted disc is full and "Disc Full" is displayed.

•The 99th track has been recorded and "Disc Full" is displayed.

•The disc is not for audio use or when "Pro Disc" is displayed.

Below is an introduction to the type of recordings possible when the CDR-201A is connected to the R- 801A, C-701A, MD-101A, and K-501A components.

■CD dubbing (digital) (see page 21) Digitally record all tracks from a music CD to a CD-R or CD-RW. When dubbing is completed, you can automatically select the finalization mode. The dubbing mode is selected at the EDIT menu. Album mode: Only record the tracks that can be completely recorded.

Fade-out mode: A fade-out is recorded at the end of the final track that could not be completely recorded.

Only the audio signals can be recorded

The CDR-201A is designed for recording audio signals only and therefore only digital signals that are audio signals are recorded. Other CD-ROM and Dolby Digital data, and the like, will not be recorded. Also, when recording from discs that have graphics or text data, only the audio signals will be recorded.

■Single-track CD dubbing (digital) (see page 22)

Record the track currently being played (or paused) with the CD player with one touch. The dubbing mode is the mode that is currently set; however, if the album mode is set, tracks that cannot be fully recorded will not be erased, but will be recorded until the disc becomes full.

The minimum track length is 4 seconds

For compact discs, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. Even if the e(stop) or g(pause) button is pressed immediately after starting recording, a silent 4-second track will be recorded. Also, during that 4 seconds, you cannot resume recording or perform another operation.

When an unrecordable signal in present during the digital recording

"D.In Unlock" or "Cannot Copy" appears in the display and the recording operation is suspended. The operation will be resumed in response to any recordable signals that may follow.

■Synchronous recording (see page 23)

When connected to a component system, the operations given below are possible.

•Synchronous recording from the CD player to the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)

•Synchronous recording from the MD recorder or tape deck to the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)

•Synchronous recording from the CDR-201A to an MD recorder or tape deck. (Analog recording only)

Note:

For CD dubbing, single-track CD dubbing, and synchronous recording, you must have the optical digital cable from the C-701A connected to the digital input 1 terminal of the CDR-201A. For more details regarding system setup, refer to the instruction manual for the R-801A.

Do not turn off the CDR-201A during recording, finalizing, erasing, or while “PMA Writing” is displayed.

If you accidentally do turn the power off, or if a power outage occurs, the data on the disc may be rendered unreadable.

Do not shake or subject the CDR-201A to vibrations during recording, finalizing, erasing, or while “PMA Writing” is displayed.

Doing so may cause the sound on the disc to skip or the data on the disc to become unreadable.
