Introduction

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.

Your recorder offers several recording modes.

RECORD DISC

-to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc or a program simply by starting the source.

RECORD TRACK

-to make an synchronized recording of a single track simply by starting the source.

REC(ord) MANUAL

-to manually start a recording simply by pressing the RECORD key.

MAKE CD

-to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc or a program simply by starting the source. Finalizing will be done automatically (active for digital recordings).

For each recording purpose the most appropriate recording mode is explained. Basically a recording session consists of three steps:

-preparing (make all settings for your recording),

-recording (the actual recording starts) and

-finalizing your recording (making CDR(W) suitable for playback on a standard cd-player).

Some remarks on recording

It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

0If the disc is a CDR disc and is already finalized, no recording is possible.

0If the disc is a CDRW disc and is already finalized, you must unfinalize it first.

0The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs.

0CD text cannot be recorded from an external CD player. (Text information is not available on the output of the CD player.)

0There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record standby mode. DISC FULL will then show on the display.

0If the display indicates COPY PROTECT no digital recording can be made of the source material. Recording will not start.

0The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows digital recording under specific conditions:

-This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital copy.

-Analog recording is always possible!

-The number of recordings to be made from the original is unlimited.

0A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

Important: Use only discs with CDR AUDIO only or CDRW AUDIO only logo. Discs for use in a personal computer’s CD-(re)writer cannot be used in an Audio CD-recorder.

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a regular CD player, it must be finalized.

Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:

-be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,

-avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,

-avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,

-write CD text on a CDR(W).

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD players.
