CD RECORDING  21

Step Four:

To prepare for a recording, press the

Record Button

7r

. The 

Record Indicator

P

will flash, and the word 

BUSY

will briefly appear in

the 

Information Display

Y

. When the display

returns to the track and running-time information, the
unit is ready to record.

Step Five:

Once the source material is playing, start

the actual recording by pressing the 

Play/Select

Button

Ój

. The 

Record Indicator

P

will stop

flashing and the 

Information Display

Y

will begin to

show the running time of the recording and the track
data. Depending on which mode of track increment
has been selected as described above, track numbers
must be increased manually or they will be added
automatically. Regardless of which mode has been
selected, a track may be added at any time by press-
ing the 

Track Increment Button

!n

.

NOTE:

If there is a pause in the playback signal for

more than five seconds for digital recordings or 10 sec-
onds for analog recordings, the CDR 26 will stop the
recording. Also, when the Pause button is pressed during
a recording, the track number will increase by one num-
ber and the recording will stop and must be restarted by
pressing the 

Play/Select Button

Ój

. When the

recording is finished, press the 

Stop Button

(v

.

Unlike conventional analog tape recorders, the
CDR 26 does not require level setting when record-
ings are made from a digital source. Although the

Level Indicator 

J

will operate, this is only informa-

tive and the level may not be changed or adjusted.
However, when you are making a recording from an
external analog source such as a cassette recorder or
the analog output of a receiver or preamp, you should
adjust the input levels using the 

Record Level

Control

*

. Adjust the levels so that the blue/white

segments of the display are almost all lit, and the red
segments flash only occasionally. If the 

OVER

Indicator

J

is constantly lit, the recording will be

distorted and produce unacceptable quality.

To stop the recording, press the 

Stop Button

(

v

. The recording will automatically stop if it takes

more space than is available on the CD-R/RW disc. A

DISC FULL

message will appear to remind you

that a new disc is needed.

Step Six:

At the end of a recording, a 

BUSY

message will appear briefly. The unit will then return to
normal operation. Remember to finalize the disc after
recording so that it may be used in other players.

Finalizing CD-R and CD-RW Discs

Finalizing is a simple process that completes the
recording of a disc so that it may be used in other
players. When a recording is finished, a disc must 
be finalized. Once that is done, a CD-R disc may not
be added to. CD-RW discs are “locked” once they 
are finalized, but they may be unfinalized to permit
additional recording or erasure.

Once all recording is completed on a disc, make cer-
tain that it is placed in the 

Record Deck

%

to be

finalized. If the disc has just been inserted into the
deck, the CDR 26 will first read the Table of Contents
data before displaying the number of tracks and the
total time of the disc in the record-side 

Information

To finalize the disc, first press the 

Finalize Button

will flash in the 

Information

Display

Y

and the 

Record Indicator

P

will light.

Within eight seconds, press the 

Play/Select Button

Ój

and the 

FINALIZE

message will stop

flashing and immediately be replaced by a 

TOC

WRITE

message, followed by a three-digit time

indication, such as 

1:11

. The 

1:11

part of the

message is the start of a countdown clock that will tell
you how much time is remaining in the finalization
process. When the display counts down to 

0:00

and the 

Record Indicator

P

goes out, the 

Infor-

mation Display

Y

will return to its normal indica-

tions and the finalization process is complete. The disc
is now ready to be played in any compatible CD or
DVD player. The 

CD Indicator

R

will remain lit to

remind you that the disc is now a standard CD.

Unfinalizing and Erasing CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs are unique in that they are both record-
able and rewritable. This means that you may use
them over again like a cassette tape. However, the
process of reusing a CD-RW disc is slightly different
from that used with tapes.

Unfinalizing a CD-RW Disc

To keep the material that is already recorded on a CD-
RW disc but to add an additional track and erase sin-
gle tracks, you must first unfinalize the disc. To do that,
place the CD-RW disc in the 

Record Deck

%

and

wait until the Table of Contents data has been read.

To unfinalize a disc, first press the 

Erase Button

@s

.

UNFINALIZE

will flash in the 

Infor-

mation Display

Y

and the 

Record Indicator

P

will light. Within eight seconds, press the 

Play/Select

Button

Ój

and a 

TOC Erase

message

will appear in the 

Information Display

Y

followed

by a three-digit time indication (e.g.,

1:11

). The

time indication part of the message is the start of a
countdown clock that will tell you how much time is
remaining in the unfinalization process. When the 
display counts down to 

0:00

and the 

Record

Indicator

P

goes out, the 

Information Display

Y

will return to its normal indications and the finalization
process is complete. The 

CD-RW Indicator

RQ

will light to remind you that the disc is now ready to
have tracks removed or added.

Erasing an Entire CD-RW Disc

To erase the entire contents of a CD-RW disc, it does
not matter whether the disc has been finalized or not.
To erase the disc, first press the 

Erase Button

@

s

so that 

DISC ERASE

flashes in the 

Infor-

mation Display

Y

and the 

Record Indicator

P

lights. Depending on whether or not the disc has been
finalized, you may have to press the 

Erase Button

@s

a second time to display the 

DISC

ERASE

message. Within eight seconds, press the

Play/Select Button

Ój

and a 

DISC

ERASE

message will appear in the 

Information

Display

Y

followed by a three-digit time indication

(e.g.,

1:11

). The time indication part of the mes-

sage is the start of a countdown clock that will tell you
how much time is remaining in the erasure process.
When the display counts down to 

0:00

and the

Record Indicator

P

goes out, the 

Information

Display

Y

will return to its normal indications and

the erasure process is complete. The disc is now 
totally erased and may be reused.

Erasing a Single Track

The individual tracks on a CD-RW disc may be erased
one at a time, in reverse order, starting with the last
track on the disc. Before individual tracks may be
erased, the disc must be unfinalized. If the disc is
finalized, follow the instructions above for unfinalizing
before proceeding with these steps.

To erase the last track on a disc (remembering that it
must first be unfinalized), first press the 

Erase Button

@s

so that

and the

digit time indication (e.g.,
