If “Auto Cut” appears in the display (Auto Cut Function)

There has been no sound input for about 30 seconds during recording. The 30 seconds of silence are replaced by a blank of about 3 seconds and the unit changes to recording pause.

If the unit continues pausing for about 3 minutes after the Auto Cut Function activated, recording stops automatically.

Note that this function does not activate if the unit has started recording from a blank portion or is synchro-recording from a CD on DECK A.

Tip

You can turn off the Auto Cut Function. For details, see “To turn off the Smart Space Function and Auto Cut Function” below. Note that when you turn off the Auto Cut Function, the Smart Space Function is also turned off automatically.

If “Smart Space” appears in the display (Smart Space Function)

There has been an extended silence of 4 to 30 seconds in length during recording. When the signal is input again, the silence is replaced with a blank of about 3 seconds and the deck continues recording.

Note that new track numbers may not be marked for portions recorded while this function is activated. Also, this function does not activate even if there has been an extended silence of 4 to 30 seconds in length when the deck started recording from the blank portion.

To turn off the Smart Space Function and Auto Cut Function

Set “Smart Space” in Setup Menu to “Off.” For details, see “Using the Setup Menu” (page 28).

When you turn off the Smart Space Function, the Auto Cut Function is also turned off automatically.

Insert the silence into the end of the song (The function of adding Post Gap)

You can insert the silence of 2 seconds between the songs, when recording more than two tracks at once. The silence is inserted according to the following situations.

•When recording is stopped.

•When the disc of DECK A changes to the next disc during Synchro-Recording. (RCD- W50C only)

To use the function of adding Post Gap

Set “Post Gap” of the setup menu to “On” during stop. For details, see “Using the Setup Menu” on page 28.

Using the SBM (Super Bit Mapping) function

When you record through the ANALOG input, the SBM function enables you to record a 24- bit high quality sound source by converting it to a 16-bit source without reduction in sound quality. This is made possible by incorporating a noise-shaping filter in the 24-bit A/D converter of this unit, which has a frequency range designed to cover the range of human hearing.

During recording pause, press SBM. The indicator lights up.

When you press the button again, the function is canceled and the indicator turns off.

Notes

•You cannot change the setting while recording.

•When you record through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN input, or when you make Synchro-Recording, the SBM function is automatically canceled.
