•When there is no sound from the player for more than 3 seconds during synchro- recording, the recorder goes into the standby mode automatically (page 53). When the sound comes from the player again, the recorder resumes synchro-recording. If the recorder is kept in the standby mode for 5 minutes or longer, the recorder stops automatically.

Notes

•Do not switch the SYNCHRO REC switch after step 3. Recording may not be done properly.

•The recording mode setting (stereo, LP2 stereo, LP4 stereo, or monaural) cannot be changed during synchro-recording.

•Even when there is no recorded sound on the sound source (page 53), there may be cases when recording does not pause automatically during synchro-recording due to the noise level emitted from the sound source.

•If a silent portion is encountered for 2 seconds or more during synchro-recording, a new track mark is automatically added at the point where the silent portion ends (page 53).

•Synchro-recording cannot be done if the connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack.
