RECORDING GENERAL

INTERNAL RECORDING

English

We will describe:

– Digital recording from internal CDC

(fast or normal

recording).

– Recording from external CD player:

– Digital
– Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)
– Analog

– Finalizing discs:

Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:
– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player
– play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player

• The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.

Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.

• It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will

automatically search for the end of the last track, so that
recording can start from there.

• For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can

record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum of
recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Else,

NOT

FITTING

is displayed and you cannot enter into the record

standby mode.

• When you try to record a copy protected material from an

external source,

COPY PROTECT

will be displayed. No

further digital recording is possible then.

• The

Serial Copy Management System

(SCMS) only allows

digital recording under specific conditions:
– This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy from

a digital copy.

– Analog recording is always possible !
– The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

• Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop

automatically.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any regular
CD player, it must first be finalised. See finalising discs.

Finalised CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD
players.

For recording from external CD changers do not use
