Tips

•To play the recorded CD on DECK A or another CD player, perform finalization (page 29).

•To record your favorite tracks from the CDs in DECK A, make a program (page 19).

•If the track marks are not marked properly while making an analog recording from an external component, see page 28.

•To record from several discs, see page 25.

Notes on recording

•You cannot record over existing material. The unit automatically starts recording from the end of any existing material.

•Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the CD-R or CD-RW is longer than the playing time of a source CD, especially if you want to record all the tracks.

•If a message appears in the display, refer to “Messages” on page 36.

•Recording automatically stops if recording is paused for more than about 3 minutes.

Note on a copy protection

Some commercial CD may contain a copy protection code that will prevent the disc from being recorded. In this case, “Cannot Copy” and either “C12” or “C41” will appear alternately in the display.

Do not move the unit or disconnect the unit from power source in the following situation. Recording may not complete successfully.

•When “Finalize,” “Unfinalize,” “Erase,” or “OPC” appears in the display:

The unit is currently updating the table of contents (TOC).

•When “PMA Writing” appears in the display:

The unit is currently updating the track information.

Synchro-Recording a CD

to CD-R or CD-RW

You can easily make digital recordings from a CD to a CD-R or CD-RW. Before recording, see page 20.

There are 2 types of Synchro-Recording.

Make-Disc Synchro-Recording (Make Disc On)

Records a CD in the original order of its track number regardless of the selected play mode, and finalizes the disc. Be sure to use a disc that has not been recorded. (“Blank Disc” should appear in the display when you put the disc in DECK B.)

To use Make-Disc Synchro-Recording, set “Make Disc” in the Setup Menu to “On” beforehand (page 35).

•CD text (if contained in the disc) is recorded automatically. You can label the disc name or track name (up to 70 characters each, and 40 tracks per disc).

Note

When DECK A is in the Program mode, Make-Disc Synchro-Recording is canceled regardless of the Setup Menu setting.

Synchro-Recording

(Make Disc Off)

•After recording, you must finalize the disc. Until the disc is properly finalized, it cannot be played on any CD players. See “Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW” on page 29.

•CD text contained in the disc is not automatically recorded on the disc. To label tracks/discs, see “Labeling Tracks/Discs” (page 32).
