Automatically
Recording All Tracks from a Digital Source
If you want to copy all the tracks from another
CD
, an
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
, use this mode. Like the 1-track synchro recording
mode, the recorder starts and stops automatically. When recording from
MD
or
CD
, you can play the source in either normal
play mode, or program play if you’d like the recorded tracks in a different order to the original. We do not recommend
recording from a
DAT
in program play mode — use the 1-track synchro recording mode if you want to record the tracks in a
different order.
If you are simply duplicating a source disc or tape, you’ll probably want to finalize the
CD
–
R
(or
CD
–
RW
) after all-track sync
recording so that it’s ready to be played on other
CD
players. To finalize the disc automatically once recording has finished,
see
Automatically Recording and Finalizing a Disc on the following page. If you're recording from a digital source other than
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
, see
Manually Recording from a Digital Source on page 23. If you’re recording from any source through
the analog inputs, see
Recording an Analog Source on page 24.
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
Play the source.
The recorder starts recording automatically.
5
After recording all tracks on the source, the
recorder goes into record-pause mode.
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.
Be careful:
if the recorder detects another signal it will start recording again!
❖
The recorder will also enter record-pause mode if the digital signal is
interrupted or changes format (sampling frequency, for example).

Press

the track information to the disc.

The display shows the all-track
sync mode, and the sync indicator
blinks to show that recording can
start anytime.
