Recording on a CD-R or

CD-RW Manually

You can start recording from the end of the existing material. Before recording, see “Notes on Recording” on page 16.

When using the remote, set SELECT to CDR.

After recording, you must finalize the disc. Until the disc is properly finalized, it cannot be played on any other machine. See “Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW” on page 24.

Notes

If you press REC zduring recording, you can add a track (page 22). The track must be longer than 4 seconds.

When recording from more than one disc manually, the silence between tracks may become longer. To prevent this, use Synchro-Recording. (RCD-W50C only)

This unit uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software via the unit’s digital input. Therefore you may not be able to record a CD-R or CD-RW digitally through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack, depending on the content being recorded.

Because of the restriction of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), you may not be able to make digital recordings. In this case, use analog recording through the ANALOG IN jack when you record from other units. Or use Synchro-Recording when you record from DECK A. (The recording mode is automatically changed to analog recording.)
