Before Recording

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

<CD specifications limit the number of tracks to 99.

<You can not create recording tracks shorter than 10 seconds.

<Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased.

<A recorded CD-R can be played back in a regular CD player after finalizing.

<To add more recordings to a finalized CD-RW, unfinalize it. (See page 31.)

When all available space on a CD-RW has been recorded, you can record additional tracks by erasing previously recorded tracks. Note that you can only erase all tracks or the last track.

<If the STOP button (H) or PLAY/PAUSE button (y/J) is pressed within 10 seconds from the beginning of recording, the unit does not stop recording.

<When the recording is finished, “REC” and “- ENd - ” blink for a few seconds, and the unit then goes into stop mode. Do not apply any shock or vibration to the unit during blinking.

<If the disc reaches the end during recording, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

<If the disc reaches the end of the 99th track during recording, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

<The recording time of a track may differ slightly from the original one.

<When a partially recorded disc is inserted, recording starts after the last recorded track.

<The AUTO REC function automatically divides a track according to the sound level that has been set (See page 25). Therefore it is possible when using this function that a finished copy could have more tracks than its original source. It would be caused by extremely quiet part or noisy part.

<When the TRACK INCREMENT button is pressed while recording, the recorded sound will be cut for a moment.

Do not use the TRACK INCREMENT function while the music sound continues.

<When the disc which was recorded by this unit is played back by some other players, a small noise may be heard at the point that the track is divided.
