English
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.
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.
