• You cannot pause manually during synchro-
recording.
• When there is no sound from the player for
more than 3 seconds during synchro-
recording, the recorder goes into the standby
mode automatically. When the sound comes
from the player again, the recorder resumes
synchro-recording. If the recorder is kept in
the standby mode for 5 minutes or longer, the
recorder stops automatically.
Notes
• Do not switch SYNCHRO REC after step 3.
Recording may not be done properly.
• When recording in monaural, follow steps 1 to
3 of “Recording in monaural for double the
normal recording time” (page 17), and then do
steps 1 and 3 of synchro-recording.
• Even when there is no recorded sound on the
sound source, there may be cases when
recording does not pause automatically during
synchro-recording due to the noise level
emitted from the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for 2 seconds
or more during synchro-recording, a new track
mark is automatically added at the point
where the silent portion ends.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the
connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if
the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack.
• You cannot adjust the recording level
manually during synchro-recording.
