Before Recording

Before you start recording, make sure that you understand the following points:

<Up to 99 tracks can be recorded according to the CD standards. When a 100th track is about to be recorded, recording will stop automatically.

<A track less than 10 seconds in length on an audio CD cannot be recorded .

<When recording is finished, “PMA WRITE” blinks for a few seconds, and then the unit goes into the stop mode. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit while recording or “PMA WRITE” blinks.

<When the available recording time reaches 0, recording will stop automatically.

<If a half-way recorded disc is inserted, recording continues next to the last recorded track.

<You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a CD. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be unfinalized, erased and re-recorded.

<When the auto track function is used, the tracks are separated based on the specified level. Therefore, if a silent part is contained at the beginning or in the middle of a track, the playback time may not be the same as the actual length of the track.

<When track numbers are added to continuous music such as live performances, the sound is cut a moment.

<If a disc recorded with this unit is played with another player, noises may occur when the track changes.

Auto track level

Sound level to detect “silence” to add track numbers using auto track when recording from external devices via ANALOG or to perform synchronous recording for digital sources such as CD, MD, and DAT.

This instruction manual describes “silence” as the situation where the recording source level is lower than the specified auto track level.

−60, −50, −40, and −30 dB can be selected.
