Recording modes

This recorder features a number of recording modes allowing you to make recordings from a wide variety of program sources (both analog and digital).

•When using this unit to make recordings, subcode information that may be present in the source audio signal such as CD TEXT, index data, etc., will not be recorded.

Before recording•Set your amplifier or receiver to the source to be recorded.

•Check that INPUT on the front panel is set appropriately for the source to be recorded as described on page 7.

About the recording modes

Synchronized recording is recommended when making a digital recording from a CD or MD, etc.

Manual recording is recommended when making an analog recording.Single track synchronized recording

After recording a single track, the unit is put in the record pause mode. This mode is convenient for recording a mix of tracks from different sources. See page 13 for this procedure.

ALL track synchronized recording

When the source component starts to play, all tracks are recorded and the recording automatically stops after the last track. This mode is convenient for recording an entire CD, DAT, MD or LP, etc. See page 14 for this procedure.

Full AUTO synchronized recording

This mode automatically finalizes the disc after ALL track synchronized recording. See page 15 for this procedure.

Manual recording

This recording mode is used mainly when manual control of the recording is required or preferred. Recording is started and stopped manually. See page 16 for this procedure.

IMPORTANT

•Do not turn off the power during recording. If the power is turned off, recorded material may be lost and the disc may not perform normally.

•If a power failure occurs or if the power cord is pulled out of the wall outlet while recording on a CD-RW disc, any material recorded before the information is written to the PMA (Program Memory Area) will be lost and left unrecorded. When using a CD-R disc, the disc will no longer be usable.

•During recording, make sure that the recorder is not subjected to shock or vibration as this may cause skips or jumps to be included in the recording.

RECORDING FUNCTIONS

In the following cases recording is NOT possible

•When the CD indicator is lit indicating that a CD disc or finalized CD-R disc is loaded in the recorder.

•When the CD-RW and TOC indicators are lit indicating that a finalized CD-RW disc is loaded in the recorder.

•When there is no recording time remaining on the disc and “Disc Full” appears in the display.

•When 99 tracks have been recorded and “Track Full” appears in the display. Only 99 tracks may be recorded on a CD disc.

•When the CD-R or CD-RW disc loaded in the recorder is not intended for recording audio and “Not Audio” appears in the display.

Notes

•If a source component connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks on this unit is recorded by another recording device connected to the DIGITAL OUT jacks on this unit, the recording function may not perform correctly.

•Depending on the source component, recording may not always be possible when using the digital input jacks on this unit.

When recording onto a partially recorded disc

If a CD-R or CD-RW disc has some recording time remaining on it before finalization is performed, any of the recording modes can be performed as normal. Recording is automatically started from the location immediately after the last recorded track on the disc.

Before CD-R discs can be played on standard CD players – Finalization

When you have finished recording on a CD-R disc, it is necessary to finalize the disc to make it compatible with standard CD players. If this procedure is not performed, the CD-R disc will not be playable on a standard CD player.

•If Full AUTO synchronized recording is performed, finalization is automatically performed following the conclusion of recording.

Notes for synchronized recording

•When performing synchronized recording of a Video CD (audio portion only), the synchronized recording function may not work correctly depending on the source component being used to play the Video CD.

•Depending on the operation of the DVD player, this unit may not stop the synchronized recording although 20 seconds of silence is continued. In this case, press

&(STOP &on the remote) to stop this unit.

•Extremely low level signals will not be recognized during analog input signal recording and will be treated as silence. Be aware of low level signals during synchronized recording.

•Although it takes less than 100 msec to detect input signals in the synchronized recording mode, this unit may not record the first portion of input signals depending on discs. In this case, select the syncronized recording mode after the manual recording is started.
