Automatic writing of start IDs during
recording
•
When the AUTO indicator lights up in the display
during recording, the automatic writing of start IDs
takes place according to the input jack used and the
signal format, as shown in the table below.
•
You can select the trigger for the automatic writing
of start IDs such as an audio input signal level, a
DAT start ID code, or a Q-code from a CD track by
menu settings (see pages 19 and 20).

a) If the input level remains under the level set in the “L-SY
TH” menu longer than the time set in the “L-SY BK” menu
(see page 19), the deck writes a start ID when the input
level rises above that level.
b) DAT skip IDs are automatically written in the same way.
c) Only when connected to the PCM-2300, PCM-2700, or
PCM-2700A.
d) Some CD players do not output track information (Q-
code) in the digital signal.
Digital signal lock range
•
The lock range of a digital signal (signal reception
range) is about
±
0.1% for a sampling frequency of 48
kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz. Variable pitch signals are
not receivable.
•
When the digital input sampling frequency
information does not match the actual sampling
frequency, it is possible to record that signal if you
change the REC MODE switch on the front panel to
the actual sampling frequency of the signal.

You can check the signal format input from the
