Using the Silent Pause
function
There has been no sound input for about 30
seconds during recording. The unit changes to
recording pause after recording about 30
seconds of silence.
If the unit continues pausing for about 3
minutes after the Silent Pause Function
activated, recording stops automatically.
Note that this function does not activate if the
unit is Synchro-Recording from a CD on
DECK A.
Tip
You can turn off the Silent Pause Function. For
details, see “Using the Setup Menu” (page 28).
Insert the silence into the
end of the song (The function
of adding Post Gap)
You can insert the silence of 2 seconds between
the songs, when recording more than two tracks
at once. The silence is inserted according to the
following situations.
• When recording is stopped.
• When the disc of DECK A changes to the
next disc during Synchro-Recording. (RCD-
W50C only)
To use the function of adding Post
Gap
Set “Post Gap” of the setup menu to “On” during
stop. For details, see “Using the Setup Menu” on page
28.
Using the SBM (Super Bit
Mapping) function
When you record through the ANALOG IN
jack, the SBM function enables you to record a
24-bit high quality sound source by converting
it to a 16-bit source without reduction in sound
quality. This is made possible by incorporating
a noise-shaping filter in the 24-bit A/D
converter of this unit, which has a frequency
range designed to cover the range of human
hearing.
During recording pause, press SBM. The
indicator lights up.
When you press the button again, the function
is canceled and the indicator turns off.
Notes
• You cannot change the setting while recording.
• When you record through the DIGITAL OPTICAL
IN jack, or when you make Synchro-Recording, the
SBM function is automatically canceled.
