What you can do with the unit

Recording

Difference between a disc and SD card

Same as a commercially available audio CD, sound is recorded on a disc in the CD-DA format. The disc can be played back on a standard CD player.

You can record sound on an SD card on the WAV or MP3 format. You can record for a longer period of time by using the MP3 format though the sound quality is inferior to a CD's.

In addition, you can edit audio files on the SD card such as dividing them.

What disc is recordable?

You can use a CD-R or CD-RW for recording.

«page 17 “About CD-R and CD-RW discs”

What is finalization?

To playback a disc recorded on the unit on another device, the process called finalization is required. You cannot record on a CD-R disc any more after finalization. You can make a finalized CD-RW disc recordable again by unfinalizing it.
