4 – DP-02 Appendix
On the DP-02, a song’s master stereo track can be written
to a CD-R or CD-RW (see “Mastering” on page 27), and
this master recording can be burned to CD for audio CD
playback.
There are two ways of making a CD:
Disk At Once (simply called “DAO” from here on)
Track At Once (simply called “TAO” from here on)
In the DAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the
DP-02 are written all at once.
DAO finalized the disc when it’s finished (see “Finalizing
CDs” on page 68), making the CD compatible with other
CD players immediately after writing by DAO has ended.
With DAO, additional tracks cannot be written to the CD
because it creates a finalized disc.
In the TAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the
DP-02 are written to the CD on a track-by-track basis.
If you want to write tracks to a CD over several sessions,
choose the TAO recording.
Since TAO does not finalize the CD, this CD cannot be
played back on a regular CD player (it can be played on the
DP-02).
After all of the desired master stereo tracks have been
written by TAO, finalize the disc (“Finalizing CDs” on
page 68).
Additional tracks cannot be written to the CD after final-
ization has ended.
Making an audio CD
Writing by Disk At Once (DAO)
With DAO, the track order can be set when writing two or
more tracks.
A silent gap of any desired length can also be added
between tracks.

the DATA dial clockwise to confirm the song to write
to the CD. A “ ” mark appears on the check box.
