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 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
Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose one of the
digital inputs.
Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:
ANA (Analog) - OPT (Optical) - COA (Coaxial)
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
3
Make sure that the source is not playing, then
press DIGITAL SYNCHRO three times.
Digital synchro recording won't work if the source is already playing!
The recorder goes into all-sync record pause mode and the SYNC
indicator starts to blink.
4
Play the source.
The recorder starts recording automatically.
5
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 all-
sync record-pause mode.
If the recorder detects no signal for one minute, finalization starts (no
more recording is possible after this so make sure that there aren’t any
spaces of more than one minute during the source you’re recording).
Be careful: if the recorder detects another signal (CDor MD) or start ID
(DAT or DCC) it will start recording again!
Finalization takes about four minutes, during which time none of the
buttons are operative.
Never turn the power off during finalization!
❖ If the digital signal is interrupted, the recorder continues recording.
However, if no signal has been detected within five seconds, the
recorder stops recording and will not finalize the disc — see
Digital
signal interruptions on page 19.
❖ 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.
Note: If you find that synchro recording does not seem to work, see the trouble-
shooting section on page 37 for possible remedies.
