■About track length and number
•The CD specifications state that the minimum length of a CD track must be 4 seconds. If a recording is stopped while the track is less than 4 seconds long, the unit will record silence until the 4 second track length requirement has been reached, and then stop recording.
•CDs can be recorded with up to 99 tracks on them. Recording will be automatically stopped if the 99 track limit is exceeded. Once 99 tracks have been recorded, no further recording is possible even if time is remaining on the disc.
■About source sampling rate conversion
When recording an analog source (such as an LP or cassette), this unit converts the analog signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal before recording them onto the
When recording a digital source, this unit converts the digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the

This unit is designed exclusively for recording audio signals.
SCMS Copy Protection
As a digital audio component, this CD recorder conforms with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts copies made by recording digital signals to first generation copies only.
●Rule 1
You can record digital program sources onto a recordable CD disc using a DIGITAL IN jack to create a first generation digital copy. You cannot, however, record from this recorded CD disc to another recordable CD disc using a DIGITAL IN jack.
■When making digital recordings from DAT
When recording from a DAT source, make sure that the start IDs on DAT tapes are in positions slightly before the actual audio begins.
DAT tapes that are originally recorded using the DAT recorder’s auto ID function record the start ID slightly after the actual recording begins. Because this recorder uses the start ID on the DAT to indicate the transition between tracks, the following problems may occur during synchronized recording (single track or ALL track).
•The beginning of the audio on a track is not recorded.
•A new track number is created slightly after the beginning of a new track.
•The beginning of the next track is recorded at the end of a recording.
To avoid these potential problems, it is recommended to perform manual recording of DAT sources. For more information on DAT operations, refer to the operating instructions provided with the DAT recorder.
●Rule 2
A CD disc that was recorded using the ANALOG jacks can be recorded onto other digital recording media using a DIGITAL OUT jack to create a first generation digital copy. You cannot, however, make a second generation copy using a DIGITAL OUT jack.
Second generation digital copy cannot be made because this unit is designed to conform with SCMS standards. However, when second generation digital copy is not possible, this unit automatically changes the setting to analog recording to complete recording.
In this case, set “SCMS Mode” in the set menu to ANALOG Copy. (See page 11.)
Before setting the recording level by using the ANALOG REC LEVEL knob, start the source CD on the disc tray A first, and then press REC for the disc tray B.
