Before Recording

About recordable discs

•A recordable disc is an audio CD-R or Audio CD- RW with the following logo.

•Audio CD-Rs are recordable only one time. Audio CD-RWs are recordable for multiple times. See page 7 for details.

About finalization

•Finalization is a final editing process that allows recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs to be played in other players.

•Once a CD-R has been finalized, the recorded material cannot be changed. The recorded material on a CD-RW can be altered even after finalizing it. See page 30 for details.

•Unfinalized discs can only be played back on DECK B of this unit. See page 7 for details.

About the Serial Copy Management System

•The Serial Copy Management System allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source. This unit conforms to the Serial Copy Management System.

•You cannot perform a digital recording from a digitally recorded CD-R or CD-RW. In this case, make analog recording.

About recording MP3 files

•MP3 files are converted to audio CD format before being recorded to the disc. Thus the amount of data may increase too much to record on a single disc.

•As this unit recognizes the copyright information for MP3 files, there are following restrictions.

–You can perform only Normal speed Synchro- Recording. You cannot make a manual recording.

–The digital data is converted to analog data, then recorded. You cannot make direct digital recordings.

–You cannot adjust the recording level.

•The minimum length of CD-DA is 4 seconds. Therefore, the number of tracks made by the Synchro-Recording may differ from the original disc.

•When recording from DECK A to DECK B, the play and record times shown in the display may be different. This does not affect the recording.

•The maximum number of tracks is 99 due to the system limitations of CD format.

Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32 kHz or 48 kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts.
