Synchronous Recording

The convenient synchronous recording function automatically starts recording when receiving analog or digital signals from an externally connected device such as a CD player and MD deck, and stops recording when signal reception is complete.

For CD, MD, or DAT, synchronous recording starts when a digital signal is detected, which is the beginning of a track. Synchronous recording stops if there is a period where the sound is quieter than the specified increment level lasting five seconds.

For digital sources other than the above or analog sources, synchronous recording starts when a sound louder than the specified increment level is detected. Synchronous recording stops if there is a period where the sound is quieter than the specified increment level lasting 8 seconds.

Load a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc into the unit.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE (L) button, place a disc on the disc tray with the disc label side up, and then press the OPEN/CLOSE (L) button to close the disc tray.
