Fade-in and fade-out recording

At the beginning and end of recording, fade-in and fade- out effects can be performed.

1.When stopped or when in recording standby mode, set the operation using the following menu options on the REC sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 15).

FADE IN?

The length of the fade in to the normal level can be set between 1 and 30 seconds in 1-second increments (default setting: 3 seconds).

FADE OUT?

The length of the fade out into complete silence can be set between 1 and 30 seconds in 1-second incre-ments (default setting: 3 seconds).

The display shows Fade Out>XXsor Fade In>XXs.

2.In recording standby mode, press the FADER key on the remote control.

Recording begins and the sound fades in. After the preset fade-in time, the sound is at normal level.

3.During recording, press the FADER key on the remote control when you wish to fade-out the sound.

Fade-out begins with Fade Out flashing on the display then the unit enters recording standby mode.

4.Press the STOP key and the PMA writing will begin.

NOTE

Fade-in or fade-out function can be operated only by pressing the FADER key on the remote control unit.

Synchronized recording

Synchronized recording basically means that recording will begin automatically when a signal is received, and will stop when the signal ends.

The SYNC indicator appears on the display.

Starting playback of the source automatically starts record- ing on the CD-RW900SL if Sync function is on (see “Sync recording” below) and manual record start is disabled.

Sync recording

1.While recording standby mode, press the SYNC REC key.

2.Set the signal detection threshold level. Use the SYNC LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page 15).

Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to adjust the level. The level can be set from -72 dB to -24 dB in 6 dB incre- ments. The default setting is -54 dB.

Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to enter and return to recording standby mode.

3.Input the source signal.

Recording begins automatically when the source signal is detected. The source signal should be high- er than the adjusted threshold level.

NOTE

After SYNC is set, over one second of silence which is under the adjusted threshold level is required to start

recording automatically. Otherwise, the unit does not begin recording even if it is detecting a signal.

When audio signal is not detected for more than five seconds, the CD-RW900SL automatically will stop record- ing and enter record standby mode.

Pressing the STOP key stops recording.

The setting remains when the function is set on again.
