5 – Recording CDs

Time display while recording

During recording, three options are available for the time display modes.

When in record or record standby mode, repeated presses of the DISPLAY key cycles through displaying the remaining time left for recording on the disc (total remain),

the elapsed time of the track currently being recorded (no indicator lit) and the total time recorded on the disc (total).

NOTE

In record mode, REMAIN shows the same time display as TOTAL REMAIN.

Playing back tracks

Although an unfinalized disc cannot be played back on an ordinary CD player, the CC-222SL can play back tracks

that have been recorded. Use the MULTI DIAL control or the SKIP keys to select a track for playback.

Restricting the number of tracks

When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the number of tracks that may be recorded at one time.

At any time within record or record standby mode, turn the MULTI DIAL control or use the SKIP keys.

This sets the number of remaining tracks, as shown to the right of the time display.

The maximum number can be entered is 99 tracks

Every time a track division is made, the number shown at the right of the display goes down by one.

The number of remaining tracks can be changed during recording using the MULTI DIAL control.

Full disc

If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will automatically insert a fade-out. For example:When recording a long program, just before the end of the disc is reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and the display will show Fade Out.

When the fade-out has finished, the display shows Disc Full!. Press the STOP key to exit.

If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if required (see “Erasing” on page 27) and the disc then final- ized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on page 27).

Recording to disc from the RIAA PHONO inputs

NOTE

Because of the background noise often experienced when playing back analog vinyl recordings, the use of the following features is not recommended in the phono recording mode even though they are available: trigger level, sync recording and automatic track division.

To record to disc from an external record player con-nected to the RIAA PHONO input jacks:

1Load a recordable disc and put the unit in stop mode.

2Press the MENU key until the PHONO > XXX menu item is shown.

The level can be adjusted using the CD deck’s INPUT control.

Recording will stop when the recording time on the disc ends, or when the disc STOP key is pressed. Also, the RIAA PHONO input source will be canceled.

NOTE

Only the disc STOP key is enabled in this phono recording mode. The RECORD key therefore cannot be used for manual track increments (see

”Manually divide track” on page 25). If you want to use manual track division, use the normal recording proce- dure, with the phono inputs selected as the source.

Turn the MULTI DIAL (or press the SKIP keys on the remote control) to select DISC. Prepare to play the record on the external record player.

3Press the PHONO key. The INPUT 1, PHONO indicator lights on the display, and the disc recorder enters record standby mode.

4Start playing back the record.

5Start recording on the disc by pressing the disc

PLAY key.

This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is not loaded in the drive.

It is also possible to perform manual recording to disc from the RIAA PHONO INPUT source. This is the same as the standard manual recording procedure (“Basic recording” on page 21), except that the PHONO input option should be selected using the INPUT 1 SEL key before recording starts.
