track from a source

If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from a digital (CD, MD, DCC or DAT) or an analog source, the recorder can start and stop automatically. With digital recording, there's no need to worry about recording levels—you'll get a perfect digital copy of the original (if you want to change the digital recording level, see pages 23).

If you are recording from a noisy analog source, such as a vinyl record, or from a source with long quiet sections, the recorder may not recognize the end of the track. In this case, we recommend using manual recording (see pages 22).

1Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record.

2Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose an input.

Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:

Analog - Optical - Coaxial

The recorder's display indicates the current input.

3Make sure that the source is not playing, then press SYNCHRO.

Press SYNCHRO repeatedly to change the recoding mode:

The display shows the 1-track sync mode, with the SYNC-1indicator blinking to show that recording can start.

4Play the source.

The recorder starts recording automati- cally.

5The recorder pauses recording after recording one track.

If you're recording a CD or MD, recording pauses automatically when the track changes or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source.

If you're recording from DCC or DAT tape, recording pauses when the recorder encounters a new start ID or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source. (See also Digital recording from DAT on page 18.)

If you're recording from analog, recording pauses automatically when there is more than two seconds of silence on the source.

6 If you're done, press 7.

To record further tracks, simply repeat

steps 3 to 5.

After pressing 7, the display shows PMA

REC while it records the track information

to the disc.

Note: If you want to record CD text

information, you must record the entire

disc (See Automatically recording and

finalizing a disk on page 21). Text will not

be copied when you record an individual

track.
