To start/stop recording
in sync with the sound
source
(Synchro-recording)
During synchro-recording, the starting
and stopping of recording occurs are
synchronized with the sound source. This
simplifies digital recordings (e.g., from a
CD player) since the need to operate the
recorder or the sound source is
eliminated. Synchro-recording is only
possible with the optical cable connected.

Make connections.
Use the appropriate optical cable to
suit the source equipment. For details,
see “Optional accessories” (page 84).

When there is no sound from the player for
about 3 seconds during synchro-recording, the
recorder goes into the standby mode
automatically. When the sound comes from the
player again, the recorder resumes synchro-
recording. If the recorder is kept in the standby
mode for 5 minutes or longer, the recorder stops
automatically.
• The pause function cannot be turned on or off
manually during synchro-recording.
• Do not switch the “SYNC REC ” setting while
recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no sound on the sound
source, there may be cases when recording
does not pause automatically during synchro-
recording due to the noise level emitted from
the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for
approximately 2 seconds during synchro-
recording from a sound source other than a
CD or an MD, a new track mark is
automatically added at the point where the
silent portion ends.
