CD SYNC RECORDING (FROM CD, MD OR DVD PLAYER)
CD sync recording allows you to make an automatic digital recording from an external CD, MD or DVD
player. During CD sync recording, the record deck starts in sync with the source, and tracks are
automatically numbered.
1 Press INPUT on the front panel or the remote control repeatedly until the desired input is
displayed With each press of the button, the input changes as shown on the right.
2 Load a blank or non-finalized CD-R/RW disc on the record tray
3 Press CD SYNC repeatedly on the front panel or remote control to select “1 TRK” or “ALL”
To record only the first track from the source player, select “1 TRK”. To record the entire disc or tape,
select “ALL”.
4 Play the source device Recording starts in sync with the source, and stops when there is no incoming
signal for more than three seconds. After the recording is finished, “BUSY” and “UPDATE” will be
displayed briefly.
• If the source material is a CD, tracks will be added automatically to mirror the track structure of the
original disc.
• Recording levels can be adjusted during digital recordings.
WHEN “DISC FULL” IS DISPLAYED
There is not enough space on the disc, use another disc.
TO STOP THE RECORDING MANUALLY
Press STOP on the record deck. Alternatively, press CD REC and then STOP on the remote control.
TO PLAY IN OTHER MACHINES
As with all recorded CD-R/RW discs. the disc must be finalized before it can be played in other machines.
See page 20 for details.
WHEN MAKING A DIGITAL RECORDING FROM A DVD PLAYER
• From the DVD player, select “linear PCM” as audio output. Compressed digital signals, such as “DTS
bit stream” or “Dolby Digital bit stream” cannot be used. Read and follow the manual attached to your
DVD player about how to change the setting of audio output.
• Some DVD discs contain copy-prohibit signals. In such cases you can copy the disc by using an analog
input.
NOTE
You cannot start or resume recording from a halfway point.
• When in CD sync record-standby mode and the source device is switched from pause to playback, this
unit does not start recording, but remains in the standby mode.
• If you switch the source device from playback to pause during CD sync recording, this unit stops
recording and runs the update process.
• It is possible to listen to the sound while recording by selecting the appropriate input on your receiver,
preamp or processor.
