To start/stop recording in sync with the sound source (Synchro-recording)

When making a digital recording (e.g., from a CD), this function automatically starts and stops the recorder in synchronization with the sound source. This eliminates the need for separate operation of the recorder and the sound source.

When there is no sound from the player for about 3 seconds during synchro-recording, the recorder goes into the standby mode automatically. 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

•The pause function cannot be turned on or off manually during synchro-recording.

•Do not switch the “SYNC REC” setting while recording. Recording may not be done properly.

•Even when there is no sound on the sound source, 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 approximately 2 seconds during synchro- recording from a sound source other than a CD or an MD, a new track mark is automatically added at the point where the silent portion ends.
