Adding extra time at the end of a recording
If the material being recorded from an analog source
ends very quietly (it drops below the trigger level for
some time before the actual end of the piece), the
CD-RW402 may enter record ready before the actual
end of a piece. You can allow for this by increasing
the time between the detection of “silence” and the
change to record ready mode.
The minimum value here is 5 seconds, and the maxi-
mum value is 60 seconds (1 seconds increments).
1 Press the MENU key (2) and turn the MULTI
DIAL to display REC MENU 2 ? .
2 Press the MULTI DIAL .
3 Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
SYNC END TM? .
4 Press the MULTI DIAL .
5 Turn the MULTI DIAL to change the SyncEnd
(increment watch time) value between 5s and
60s (in 1 second steps).
6 Press the MULTI DIAL to make the setting and
leave the menu.
“Trimming” the sync
In addition to the extra time shown above, it is also
possible to move the synchronized start and end
backwards and forwards by up to 125 frames either
before or after the received sync start and stop signals
(in case you’re wondering how the CD-RW402 can
start before it receives a signal, it’s not magic—just
clever use of buffer memory!).
1 Press the MENU key (2) and turn the MULTI
DIAL to display REC MENU 2 ? .
2 Press the MULTI DIAL .
3 Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
SYNC TRIM ? .
4 Press the MULTI DIAL .
5 Turn the MULTI DIAL to change the SYNC_T
(sync trim) value between –125 frames and
+125 frames (in 1 frame steps).
6 Press the MULTI DIAL to make the setting and
leave the menu.
Automatic track division
The trigger level, as set above (“Synchronized
recording” on page 33) can also be used to divide
tracks if the A-TRACK (auto track) function is
enabled. When this function is enabled, the unit auto-
matically inserts a track division in the recorded
material when:
• recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre-
ment signal is detected
or
• increment signals are unavailable (e.g. analog
recording or digital sources other than MD. CD or
DAT) and the sound level has dropped below the
threshold for more than the watch time (see
“Increasing the “watch” time” on page 36), and
sound has re-started:
To enable or disable automatic track division:
1 Press the MENU key (2) and turn the MULTI
DIAL to display REC MENU 1 ? .
2 Press the MULTI DIAL .
3 Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
AUTO TRACK ? .
4 Press the MULTI DIAL .
