1With a recordable disc loaded, press the RECORD key (J or D) so that the unit enters record ready mode.

2Start the source material, and press the FADER key (5 or 8).

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.

To perform a fade-out:

1While recording, press the FADER key (5 or 8).

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. Record- ing can be restarted with the FADER key or the

PLAY or PAUSE keys.

It is not possible to change the fade-in and fade-out times to new values while recording is in progress.

Fades are also possible in digital direct mode (4.3.3, “Digital direct”).

4.4 Copy-protection

The CD-RW2000 allows copy-protection to be applied to the discs produced. Naturally, the copy- protection applies only to digital-to-digital copies.

There are three settings:

•FREE (may be freely copied), where no copy- protection is applied to the recorded disc.

•1GEN (single-generation copying), where one digital copy (“child”) can be made from the recorded disc, but no digital copies (“grandchil- dren”) can be made from the child.

•PROH (copy prohibited) which prevents any digi- tal copies being made from the recorded disc

4 – Recording—Copy-protection

1Press the MENU key (9 or 6) repeatedly until the display shows COPY ID>XXXX, where XXXX is the current setting for copy- protection as shown above.

2Turn the MULTI DIAL control B or use the SKIP keys H to change the copy-protection setting.

NOTE

Copy-protection applies on a ““per-track”, not a per-disc basis. This means that you can apply different copy-protec- tion levels to different tracks (but you can’t apply different copy-protection levels to different parts of the same track). If copy-protection is important to your work, you may want to check this setting every time you make a recording, to ensure that you have the protection level that you want.

4.5 Rehearsal

There are two areas in which the unit’s rehearsal facilities can be used: synchronized recording (4.3.1, “Synchronized recording”) and automatic track divi- sion (4.3.2, “Automatic track division”).

The purpose of the rehearsal facilities is to allow you to override the automatic synchronized recording and track division facilities where necessary.

Here is an example where this facility may be of value:

A piece has been recorded on DAT, with a verbal count-in immediately prior to the first drum beat. This count-in is not to be recorded as a part of the CD track, but the threshold level has been set to a level where the fourth count will trigger recording (–24 dB

—this is the limit of the threshold sensitivity and cannot be adjusted further).

When the rehearsal facility is used, the source is cued up and played, and the first few seconds of the track
