Rec mute function

The Rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the input signal, and records four seconds of silence on the disc.

After about four seconds, the unit enters record ready mode.

NOTE

While recording is in progress, press the REC MUTE key on the remote control.

The display shows the Rec Mute flashing, the meters stop displaying the current level and the monitored sound is cut.

This function is only available from the remote control unit.

Restricting the number of tracks

When making a recording, it is possible to restrict the number of tracks that nay be recorded at one time.

At any time within record or record ready mode, turn the MULTI JOG dial to display the track numbers you want to record.

The maximum number that can be entered is 99 tracks.

Copy-protection

The CD-RW901 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-pro- tection 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 (“grandchildren”) can be made from the child.

•PROH (copy prohibited) which prevents any digital copies being made from the recorded disc.

•Origin (SCMS:Serial Copy Management system) which applies CCI (Copy Control Information) to the recorded disc.

Use the COPY ID option in the REC sub-menu to set the function on (see “Operation basics” on page 16).

Turn the MULTI JOG dial to select the desired settings.

NOTE

Copy-protection applies on a “per-track”, not a per- disc basis. This means that you can apply different copy-protection 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.
