Basic Playback and Recording
Automatically Recording and Finalizing a Disc
This is a variation on all-track synchro recording on the previous page. After all tracks on the source material has been
recorded, the recorder automatically finalizes the disc. If you’re recording onto a
CD
–
R
, this means that the disc will be
playable on an ordinary
CD
player, but you won’t be able to record any further tracks onto the disc. If you’re using a
CD
–
RW
disc, the disc will be playable on a
CD
–
RW
player after finalizing, and you can still erase or record new material on the disc.
Like the other synchro modes, you can only use this mode when recording from
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
. If you're recording
from a digital source other than
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
, see
Manually Recording from a Digital Source on the following page.
1
Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc.
Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc
for what you want to record.
2
Set the INPUT SELECTOR to either COAXIAL or
OPTICAL.
Set to whichever input your source is connected to.
3
Make sure that the source is not playing, then
press DIGITAL SYNCHRO twice.
Digital synchro recording won't work if the source is already playing!
Wait for the recorder to indicate it's ready to record with a blinking
SYNC
.
4
Press FINALIZE.
The
FINALIZE
indicator blinks.
❖
If you change your mind, press
FINALIZE
again to cancel. The recorder
remains in all-track synchro mode.
5
Play the source.
The recorder starts recording automatically.
6
After recording all tracks on the source, the
recorder starts finalizing the disc.
After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence,
it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into
record-pause mode and the display shows the
AL
-
SYNC
message again.
After a minute of continuous silence, finalization starts.
Be careful:
if the recorder detects another signal during this time it will start
recording again!
Finalization takes about four minutes, and none of the buttons are operative
during the process.
Never power off the unit during finalization!
❖
If the digital signal is interrupted or changes format (sampling
frequency, for example), the recorder will go into record-pause mode.
❖
If the recorder reaches the end of the disc, or if there are more than
99 tracks, the recorder stops recording without finalizing the disc.
