Changing the copying speed

The recorder defaults to double (x2) speed, but if you want to listen to the CD as it's recorded, single (x1) speed is better.

1Press 41 or Á¢ (CD-R side) to switch the copying speed.

The COPY indicator shows the selected speed (x1 or x2).

Note: when copying or recording at double speed, you can only monitor the recording through the analog outputs, or through a pair of headphones. No signal is output from the digital outputs.

Setting the recording level

When recording commercially produced CDs, the recording level has already been optimized and you don't need to change it. Boosting the level will generally result in distortion where there are peaks in the music. If you're recording a non- commercially produced CD that has been consistently under- recorded, you may need to boost the level.

If you're putting together a mix CD of tracks from different discs you might find that some tracks sound louder than others because average volumes vary. To even this out you may want to reduce the recording level of some tracks.

Note: when recording DTS or HDCD encoded CDs digitally, setting the recording level at anything other than 0dB will produce a standard audio CD without the DTS/HDCD encoding.

1Press CHECK to start the CD playing.

The track/disc to be recorded starts playing and the SCAN indicator starts blinking. <deleted>

2Turn the REC LEVEL knob to adjust the recording level.

Use the level meter to guage the best recording level (the loudest sounds in the source should reach no higher than the 0dB mark on the meter; the red segments in the level meter should not light at all.

To reset the level to the same as the source, press the REC LEVEL knob (the FIX indicator lights).

3When youÕre satisfied with the recording level, press CHECK again.
