Fade-in and fade-out

To provide smooth beginnings and endings to recorded tracks, the unit provides fade facilities.

Fade-ins are from (silence) to the set input level (“Signal volume” on page 25) and fade-outs go from the current input volume to silence.

The fade-in and fade-out times can be set indepen- dently in increments of one second, from 1 second to 24 seconds.

To set the fade times:

1Press the MENU key repeatedly until the dis- play shows FADE IN > XXS, where XX is the current fade-in time, in seconds.

To perform a fade-in:

1With a recordable disc loaded, press the RECORD key so that the unit enters record ready mode.

2Start the source material, and press the

FADER key.

The display shows FADE IN for the time specified in the menu item above.

As the fade progresses, the monitored signal gradually becomes louder, reflecting the level recorded on disc.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the value of the fade-in time.

3Press the MENU key again so that the display shows FADE OUT> XXS, where XX is the current fade-out time, in seconds.

4Turn the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys to change the value of the fade-out time.

It is possible to set the fade-in time only (per- form step 5 after step 2) or the fade-out time only (in step 1, press the MENU key until the fade-out time menu item is shown).

To perform a fade-out:

1While recording, press the FADER key.

The display shows FADE OUT for the time specified in the menu above.

As the fade progresses, the monitored signal gradually becomes quieter, reflecting the level recorded on disc.

2When the end of the fade-out time is reached, the unit goes into record ready mode. Recording can be restarted with the FADER key or the PLAY or PAUSE keys.

The fade-in and fade-out times can be reset to new values while recording is in progress.

Note that fade operations cannot be carried out when auto track is enabled.
