Use media select and the Open and Up buttons to
access the directory that contains the WAVE file, and
select the WAVE file that you want to add to the list.
If you want to audition the file, you can press the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch to play back the
sample.
If you have selected a WAVE file with a sampling
frequency other than 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, it will
not be possible to press the Insert button.
WAVE files at a sampling frequency of 48 kHz will
be converted to 44.1 kHz when they are written to
an audio CD (when you execute Write to CD).
To add the file, press the Insert button.
You can continue adding files until you press the Exit
button. The files will be added to the track list in the
order in which you selected them. If you want to add
all the WAVE files in the directory, press the Insert All
button.
When you have finished adding files to the list, press
the Exit button to close the dialog box.
Notice that the WAVE files have been added to the
track list.
If you select a WAVE file in this page whose sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, you can also use the
Play button to play the sample.
To add other WAVE files to the track list, press the
Insert button once again.
If you want to add another track, select the WAVE file
that follows the track you want to add. If you want to
add the track to the end of the track list, select
“====End====.” Then press the Insert button.
To delete a WAVE file from the track list, select the
WAVE file that you want to delete, and press the Cut
button. Subsequent tracks will be moved forward in
the list.
Note: For more details on other editing operations,
please see “0–4c: Media Select, Command buttons” on
page 394 of the Parameter Guide, and “Swap Track”
on page 415 of the Parameter Guide.
3. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW media into the
drive.
In the Make Audio CD page, use Media Select to select
the internal CD-R/RW drive or an external USB CD-
R/RW drive (commercially available). The CD-R/RW
drive is shown as “CDD: Blank Disc.”
An audio CD cannot be created on a disc that
contains data other than audio (e.g., files). In this
case, it will not be possible to select the menu
commands Write to CD or Finalize Audio CD.
Note: Even when the recommended CD-R/RW media
is used, some audio CD players may be unable to play
back the disc. Also, since some audio CD players are
unable to play back CD-RW media, we recommend
that you use CD-R media.
4. Select the menu command “Write to CD” to access
the dialog box, and specify how the CD will be
written.
Use Speed to set the writing speed. This will indicate
the speeds supported by the CD-R/RW drive you are
using. Here you should set Speed to the lowest speed
that can be selected.
Be aware that if you use a faster writing speed in a
slower system, writing errors will occur.
Use Mode to specify the writing method.
Note: Depending on the drive you are using, it may not
be possible to write at the specified speed. We
recommend that the first time you write, you select
Test to perform a writing test in order to determine the
speed capabilities of your drive. Test will not write
data to the CD-R/RW media, but will perform all other
processing just as when data is actually written. If an
error occurs, the display will indicate “Error in writing
to medium.”
Press the OK button to execute the writing test.
After verifying that data can be written correctly at the
specified speed, select Write.
“Execute finalize too” specifies whether Finalization
will be executed after the audio tracks have been
written to the CD-R/RW media. If finalization has
been executed, the disc can be played back on a CD
player, but it will no longer be possible to add more
tracks.
Note: If you only want to execute finalization, execute
“Finalize Audio CD.”
5. When you are ready to write to the CD-R/RW
media, or to execute a writing test, press the OK
button. To cancel without executing, press the
Cancel button.
When you press the OK button, the “Obey
Copyright Rules” dialog box will appear.
Carefully read “COPYRIGHT WARNING” on
page iii, and if you consent to the terms, press the
OK button to begin burning the CD. If you do not
consent to the terms, press the Cancel button to
cancel the operation.
In order to avoid causing errors, do not subject the
drive to physical shock or vibration while CD-R/
RW media is being written.
