Using the Silent Pause
function
If there has been no sound input for about 30
seconds during recording, the unit pauses
recording.
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 35).
Using the Post Gap function
You can insert the silence of 2 seconds between
the songs, when recording more than two tracks
at once. The silence is inserted in the following
situations.
• When recording is stopped.
• When the disc of DECK A changes to the
next disc during Synchro-Recording (RCD-
W500C only).
To use the function of adding Post
Gap
Set “Post Gap” of the setup menu to “On” when the
unit is stopped. For details, see “Using the Setup
Menu” on page 35.
Using the SBM (Super Bit
Mapping) function
When performing analog recordings (recording
from ANALOG IN jack, or synchro-recording
MP3 files), the SBM function enables you to
record the equivalent of 24-bit high quality
sound by mapping the initial 24-bit A/D
conversion to 16-bit without reducing the
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.
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 performing digital recordings (recording
from DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack, or recording
from DECK A), the SBM function is automatically
canceled.
Recording the original sound
from the program source
(Direct Recording)
You can record audio as it is when recording a
digital signals with 44.1 kHz sampling rates
without going through the devices internal
circuits. Set “Direct” in the Setup Menu to
“On”. For details, see “Using the Setup Menu”
on page 35.
Notes
• When recording digital signals with sampling rates
other than 44.1 kHz, the signal will automatically
pass through the device’s internal sampling rate
converter before recording, even when “Direct” is
set to “On”.
• The recording level is set to the setting adjusted in
the Setup Menu.
• During Synchro-Recording, the Direct Recording
function works regardless of the Setup Menu
setting.
