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 “Notes on Recording” on page 16. To record a CD at high speed, see page 19.

There are 2 types of recording. Each recording type can be selected both in normal speed Synchro-Recording and High-Speed Synchro- Recording (page 19).

Normal Synchro-Recording (NORM SYNC)

•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.

•A CD text contained in the disc is not automatically recorded on the disc. To label tracks/discs, see “Labeling Tracks/Discs” (page 26).

Tip

You can perform Synchro-Recording in the programmed order (page 15).

Make-Disc Synchro-Recording (MAKE DISC)

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 the disc that has not been recorded. (“Blank Disc” appears in the display when you put the disc in DECK B.)

•A CD text (if contained in the disc) is automatically recorded. (Note that “Text Save” in Setup Menu is set to “On.” ) You can enter the disc name or track name (up to 70 characters each, and 40 tracks per disc).

Tip

When you do not want to record the CD text automatically, set “Text Save” in Setup Menu to “Off.” For details, see “Using the Setup Menu” (page 28). Depending on the CDs, the CD text is automatically recorded even if “Text Save” in Setup Menu is set to “Off.”

Notes

•You cannot pause recording in Synchro-Recording.

•If Repeat Play has been set, it is automatically canceled.

•If you start the recording when Shuffle play is set, Shuffle play is automatically canceled.

•Smart Space, Auto Cut, and SBM functions do not work during Synchro-Recording.

•The recording level is set to 0.0 dB regardless of the Setup Menu setting.

•When copying a disc digitally recorded under control of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), the unit automatically select the analog recording. High speed recording changes to normal speed recording. For detailed explanation on SCMS, refer to the “Notes” on page 20.

•When copying a commercial music CD contains copy protection code, the unit automatically select the analog recording. High speed recording changes to normal speed recording.

•You cannot stop recording during finalizing in Make-Disc Synchro-Recording.

Normal speed Synchro- Recording

The disc is recorded at the same speed as the playing CD. You can hear the sound during recording.
