Recording modes

Cautions during recording

Recording mode for system setups

In the following situations, recording is not possible even if the oREC or CD DUBBING buttons are 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. Full" is displayed.

Only the audio signals can be recorded

The CDR-205X 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.

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.

Do not turn off the CDR-205X while making recordings, finalizing discs, or erasing recordings, or while "PMA Writing" is displayed

If the power is turned off by mistake or a power outage occurs, when the power is turned back on and the recording will resume. However, there are times when the recording is not properly resumed and the disc is rendered irreparable.

Below is an introduction to the type of recordings possible when the CDR-205X is connected to the R- 805X, C-707CHX, K-505X, and MD-105X components.

■CD dubbing (digital) (see page 20) 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: Fade-out a track if it cannot be completely recorded.

■Single-track CD dubbing (digital) (see page 21)

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 recorded until the disc becomes full.

■Synchronous recording (see page 22)

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

•Synchronous recording from the CD player to the CDR-205X.

•Synchronous recording from the MD recorder or tape deck to the CDR-205X.

•Synchronous recording from the CDR-205X to a MD recorder or tape deck.

Note:

For CD dubbing, single-track CD dubbing, and synchronous recording, you must have the optical digital cable from the C-707CHX connected to the digital input 1 terminal of the CDR-205X. For more details regarding system setup, refer to the instruction manual for the R-805X.
