Manually Recording a Digital Source

If you are recording from a digital source other than CD, MD, DCC or DAT —digital satellite, for example—synchro recording is not possible since there are no track numbers or start IDs to signal the start and end points of the recording. For these sources, use the manual recording method described here.

1 Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc.

				for what you want to record.

SELECTOR

Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:

ANA (Analog) - OPT (Optical) - COA (Coaxial)

The recorder's display indicates the current input.

3 Press RECORD ¦ ( ¦ REC on the remote control).

The recorder goes into record-pause mode.

4 Start playing the source to check it’s recordable.

If the recorder does not recognize the digital format, or the source is copy-protected using SCMS, the message CAN NOT REC or CAN NOT COPY appears. In either case, you won't be able to record digitally—use the analog inputs instead (see Recording an Analog Source on page 25).

If necessary, set the recording level (see the following page).

If the signal appears OK, stop the source.

If theindicator is lit in the display then the recorder will start a new track each time it detects a signal after at least two seconds of continuous silence. (To switch off auto track numbering see page 30.)

7 When you're done, press 7 (stop).

❖After pressing 7 (stop), the display shows PMA REC while it records the track information to the disc.
