Writing audio data (Disc At Once)

Here’s how to use the Disc At Once method to write ste-
reo tracks from songs saved on the hard disk to CD-R/RW
media. Use this method if you do not want to create
silence between each track of the CD, or if you want to
write a single song divided into multiple tracks on the
CD.
1Make sure that the appropriate virtual track is
selected for the stereo track of the song(s)
you want to write.
2If you want to divide the song into CD tracks
at the marker locations specified within the
song, check that markers have been set at
the appropriate locations.
3Repeatedly press the [CD] key or hold down
the [CD] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]
keys to access the CD WRITE page of the CD
screen.
4Move the cursor to DISC AT ONCE and press
the [ENTER] key.
The following screen will appear.
1Song list
This is a list of the songs containing stereo tracks
that will be written to the CD-R/RW media. The line
enclosed by a dotted frame is currently selected for
operations. If no songs have been registered, this
will indicate “-NO TRACK-”.
BMARKER button
For each stereo track, this enables or disables the
markers that have been set within that song.
When you move the cursor to this button and press
the [ENTER] key, the start pint, end point and mark-
ers within the currently selected stereo track will be
enabled. (A “flag” icon will appear at the left of the
list.) If markers are enabled for a stereo track, a track
number will be written to the CD at the location of
each marker. Regardless of any areas of silence, the
entire region from the Start point to the End point
will be written.
CINS button
Inserts a new song in front of the song currently
selected in the list.
DNEW button
Adds a song at the end of the song list.
EDEL button
Deletes the selected song from the list.
FEXECUTE button
Executes writing to the CD media.
Tip!
Tip!
If data has already been written on the CD-RW media
that you insert, a popup window will appear immediately
after step 3, asking whether you want to erase the data.
Move the cursor to the OK button if you want to erase
the entire media, or to the CANCEL button if you want to
cancel execution. Then press the [ENTER] key.
5Move the cursor to the NEW button, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The song list will show information (track number/
song name/size of the stereo track) for the song that
will be written to track 1 of the CD.
6Move the cursor to the dotted frame in the
song list, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to
select the song that will be written to track 1.
Note
Note
•When you turn the [DATA/JOG] dial, you will see only
songs for which the current stereo track contains data.
Songs with a stereo track shorter than four seconds will
not be displayed.
Songs with a stereo track longer than 324 minutes will
not be displayed.
7If you want the stereo track of the selected
song to be divided into CD tracks at the loca-
tion of each marker, move the cursor to the
MARKER button and press the [ENTER] key.
Markers will be enabled for that song, and a “flag”
icon will appear at the right of the list.
Tip!
Tip!
•Markers can be enabled/disabled independently for
each song.
•When you use markers to divide a stereo track, the
location of the divisions will be specified in units of 1/
75 second.
Note
Note
Note that if markers are enabled, the track numbers
shown in the list will not match the number of tracks
written to the CD.
•A maximum of 99 tracks can be written to an audio CD.
If, for example, markers are enabled for the song you
write to CD track 1, and this song contains 98 markers,
it will not be possible to write any more songs to that
CD-R/RW media.
