Introduction

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.Your recorder offers several recording modes:

For recording from internal CD-deck: RECORD FAST (high speed digital recording)

-fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. REC LISTEN (normal speed digital recording)

-listening to a recording while making it.

MAKE CD (high speed digital recording and auto-finalize)

-fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording will be finalized automatically.

For recording from external sources:

REC EXT DISC (automatic start of recording)

-to make an automatic recording of an external source simply by starting the source.

REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording)

-to start a manual recording from an external source simply by pressing the RECORD key.

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.

General information on recording

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

0During high speed recording, the original recording quality will be maintained.

0When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will automatically be increased during recording.

0By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.

0If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when REC TYPE is pressed. Recording will not be possible.

0If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.

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

0The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the internal CD player deck only. (If not subject to copy protection)

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.

Note: If during recording ANALOG REC appears, the track will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).

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

0For external recordings from CD changers always use REC EXT DISC.
