Finalization
The finalization process writes the TOC data (tracks,
etc.) for the disc in a special area on the disc called
the PMA. After finalization, CD-Rs can be played in
CD players. Even after finalization, CD-RWs can only
be played on CD players that are compatible with
CD-RWs.
For CD-Rs that have been finalized, you cannot add
more recordings.
Erasing recording (CD-RW discs only)
The data recorded on CD-RW discs can be erased
and the disc can be used again as many times as
desired (see page 40).
The erasing methods are given below.
• Erasing data on unfinalized CD-RWs
Last track erase: Erases only the last track.
All track erase: Erases all tracks.
• Erasing data on finalized CD-RWs
All track erase: Erases all tracks.
TOC erase: Returns a finalized disc to the
unfinalized conditions.
• Erasing discs
Erases all data recorded on the CD-RW.
Normal recording mode
When not connected to a component system, there
are a few methods that you can perform to record
the signal in from the analog input or digital input of
the CDR-201A.
■ Analog recording (see page 26)
This method records the signal at the analog inputs.
The recording level can be adjusted manually.
■ Digital recording (see page 27)
This method records the signal at the optical digital
inputs. The recording level can be adjusted manually.
You may need to adjust the recording level when
recording low digital signal sources such as satellite
broadcasts and the like.
■ Signal synchronous recording
(see page 29)
When recording together with a portable MD player
or Onkyo component that does not have an z
connector, you can synchronize the recording with
the input signal.
About the level sync function
The level sync function detects the space between
tracks (songs, etc.) in the recording source and
automatically assigns track numbers to them during
recording.
■ When the level synch function is turned on
The track numbers are updated automatically. Press
the o REC button to set track numbers manually .
■ When the level synch function is turned off
The track numbers are not updated automatically.
Press the o REC button to set track numbers
manually .
■ For analog recording
If you put the CDR-201A into the recording standby
state, the level sync function turns on automatically.
If there are gaps of no sound 2 seconds or longer
between tracks in the recording source, the track
numbers will be automatically updated.
■ For digital recording
If you put the CDR-201A into the recording standby
state, the level sync function turns on automatically.
Recording modes
If the digital signal includes the track number
information, the track numbers will be automatically
assigned.
For satellite broadcasts and other digital signals that
do not include track number information, the track
numbers will be automatically updated when 2
seconds or more of silence is detected.
