Tips on recording:
• The steps for audio CD-R disc and audio CD-RW disc
on recording are identical.
• Use an audio CD-RW as you are still familiarizing
yourself with the steps in recording. Recording
mistakes can be erased.
• There must have at least 7 seconds of recording time
left on the disc. Otherwise you will not be able to
enter record standby mode.
• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.
Minimum track length is 4 seconds.
• TRACK NUMBERING- AUTO
AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO: track numbers are
assigned automatically after a silence on original
material of minimum 3 seconds. MANUAL
MANUAL MANUAL MANUAL MANUAL: track
numbers are assigned manually by pressing NEXT NEXT NEXT NEXT NEXT or
SKIP+ SKIP+ SKIP+ SKIP+ SKIP+. (Track numbers cannot be changed after

• If you connect microphone for recording, source of
input should be changed to ANALOG.
• For analog recording, you may need to listen to the
source material and adjust an optimum recording level
prior to recording.
• Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW
compatible CD players.
• CD SYNC is not applicable if external source is DVD
