Chapter 3: Recording CDs

Recording from an External Source (Digital)

Like synchronized digital recording, this method allows you to choose from optical or coaxial connections, depending on the output connections of the external source, but this method does not automatically detect when a digital signal is sent to the recorder.

1.Put a blank disc in tray B.

2.Make sure the CD, tape, etc., is ready in the external source.

3.Make sure the track numbering is set correctly. You can choose between AUTO and MANUAL by pressing the AUTO/MANUAL button.

AUTO — track numbers are automatically incremented after a silence of 3 seconds or more on the source material.

MANUAL — track numbers can be manually incremented by pressing the SKIP/SEARCH right arrow button.

Important: Track numbers can’t be changed after recording.

4.Press and release SOURCE IN until OPT (optical) or DIG (digital) appears.

5.Press REC (REC flashes).

6.Press PLAY/PAUSE on side B of the unit, then start the external source audio.

7.If you selected manual track numbering, add tracks as needed using the SKIP/ SEARCH right arrow button.

8.When finished recording, press STOP (BUSY appears, followed by UPDATE ).

To add 3 seconds of silence to the beginning of the track, press PLAY/PAUSE.

To check the remaining recording time, press REMAIN.

To temporarily stop recording, press PLAY/PAUSE. To continue recording, press PLAY/PAUSE again.
