CD-Recorder System Notes and
Limitations
■
About track length and number
•
The CD specifications state that the minimum length of a
CD track must be 4 seconds. If a recording is stopped
while the track is less than 4 seconds long, the unit will
record silence until the 4 second track length
requirement has been reached, and then stop recording.
•
CDs can be recorded with up to 99 tracks on them.
Recording will be automatically stopped if the 99 track
limit is exceeded. Once 99 tracks have been recorded,
no further recording is possible even if time is remaining
on the disc.
■
About source sampling rate conversion
When recording an analog source (such as an LP or
cassette), this unit converts the analog signals to a 44.1 kHz
digital signal before recording them onto the CD-R or CD-
RW disc.
When recording a digital source, this unit converts the
digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the CD-R or
CD-RW disc. This unit can record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
digital signals.
■
When making digital recordings from DAT
When recording from a DAT source, make sure that the start
IDs on DAT tapes are in positions slightly before the actual
audio begins.
DAT tapes that are originally recorded using the DAT
recorder’s auto ID function record the start ID slightly after
the actual recording begins. Because this recorder uses the
start ID on the DAT to indicate the transition between tracks,
the following problems may occur during synchronized
recording (single track or ALL track).
• The beginning of the audio on a track is not recorded.
• A new track number is created slightly after the
beginning of a new track.
• The beginning of the next track is recorded at the end
of a recording.
To avoid these potential problems, it is recommended to
perform manual recording of DAT sources. For more
information on DAT operations, refer to the operating
instructions provided with the DAT recorder.

When making a digital copying from a DTS-
CD
Select CD DIRECT mode to make a digital copying from a
DTS-CD.
SCMS Copy Protection
As a digital audio component, this CD recorder conforms
with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts
copies made by recording digital signals to first generation
copies only.
●
Rule 1
You can record digital program sources onto a
recordable CD disc using a
DIGITAL IN
jack to create a
first generation digital copy. You cannot, however,
record from this recorded CD disc to another recordable
CD disc using a
DIGITAL IN
jack.
●
Rule 2
A CD disc that was recorded using the
ANALOG
jacks
can be recorded onto other digital recording media
using a
DIGITAL OUT
jack to create a first generation
digital copy. You cannot, however, make a second
generation copy using a
DIGITAL OUT
jack.
Second generation digital copy cannot be made because
this unit is designed to conform with SCMS standards.
However, when second generation digital copy is not
possible, this unit automatically changes the setting to
analog recording to complete recording.
In this case, set “SCMS Mode” in the set menu to ANALOG
Copy. (See page 11.)
■
Recording of non-audio signals
This unit is designed exclusively for recording audio
signals. Non-audio signals from sources such as CD-ROM
cannot be recorded. Recording is possible only when the
input digital signal is an audio signal. Similarly when a
digital signal contains graphic or character information such
as a CD+graphics disc, the graphic or character
information is not recorded.
