Creating an audio CD

Before you actually write data to a CD, you will need to make basic settings for the CD-RW drive.
1Call the Setting page by either pressing the
Work Navigate section [CD] key as many
times as necessary, or by pressing the [F3]
key after pressing the [CD] key.
The CD screen Setting page will appear.
1AUDIO WRITE SPEED
Selects the speed at which audio data will be written to
CD-R/RW media.
BAUDIO WRITE TYPE
Selects the write method to be used when writing
audio data to CD-R/RW media.
CUNDERRUN PROTECT button
Enables/disables the function that prevents buffer
underrun (an error that can occur when data transfer
cannot keep up with write speed).
DDATA WRITE SPEED
This indicates the speed at which data other than CD
audio (e.g., backup data or WAV files) is written to
CD-R/RW media. Normally this will indicate x8, but
may be x4 if the media supports a maximum write
speed of x4. This field is for display only, and cannot
be edited.
EDATA WRITE TYPE
Selects the write method to be used when writing
backup data to CD-R/RW media.
If the COMPARE button is on, the original data will
be compared with the backed-up data or the exported
WAV file after a backup or export operation, to check
whether any errors occurred while writing the data.
Refer to “Backing up songs” on page 177 for informa-
tion on backup procedures.
FCD-RW MEDIA ERASE
Erases the data that was written to CD-RW media. For
details, refer to “Erasing CD-RW media” (→ p. 221).
2Move the cursor to the AUDIO WRITE
SPEED field, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial
to select the write speed.
You can select either x8 (eight times audio playback
speed) or x4 (four times audio playback speed). Nor-
mally you should use x8, and reduce the speed to x4
only if errors occur during writing.
3Use the TEST and WRITE buttons of the
AUDIO WRITE TYPE field to select the write
operation(s).
The combination of buttons will determine the opera-
tion(s) that will occur, as follows.
• Only the TEST button On
...........Only a write test will be performed.
• Only the WRITE button On
...........Writing will occur immediately.
• Both the WRITE and TEST buttons On
...........First a write test will be performed, and
then the actual writing will be performed.
Depending on the media and the state of the hard disk,
it is possible that an error may occur while the data is
being written. (If you are using a CD-R, this will make
the media unusable.) You can turn on the TEST button
to check whether an error will occur before you actu-
ally write the disc. If an error occurs during the test,
halt the procedure, and either reduce the write speed or
set the UNDERRUN PROTECT button to ENABLE.
4If desired, set the UNDERRUN PROTECT
button to ENABLE.
The AW2400 CD-RW drive has a function to prevent
“buffer underrun” errors that can occur if data transfer
cannot keep up with the write speed.
Switch the UNDERRUN PROTECT button to the
“ENABLE” setting to prevent buffer underruns.
