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 .

<If the Stop (H) button or Pause (J) button is pressed within 10 seconds from the beginning of a track, the unit continues to record no signal and stops when the track’s length reaches 10 seconds.

<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.
