Remarks about recording

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

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

The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs.

If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that recording can start from there.

CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and during recording.

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

There 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 then lights up.

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

The 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 from the original is unlimited.

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

Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop automatically.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any regular CD player, it must first be finalized. See finalizing discs.

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD players.

For recording from CD changers do not use REC MANUAL.
