Sync recording
1. While recording standby mode, press the SYNC
REC key.
2. Set the signal detection threshold level. Use the
SYNC LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu (see
“Operation basics” on page 16).
Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to adjust the level. The
level can be set from -72 dB to -24 dB in 6 dB incre-
ments. The default setting is -54 dB.
Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to
enter and return to recording standby mode.
3. Input the source signal.
Recording begins automatically when the source
signal is detected. The source signal should be high-
er than the adjusted threshold level.

NOTE
After SYNC is set, over one second of silence which is
under the adjusted threshold level is required to start
recording automatically. Otherwise, the unit does not
begin recording even if it is detecting a signal.
When audio signal is not detected for more than five seconds,
the CD-RW900MKII automatically will stop recording and enter
record standby mode.

NOTE
When the input level drops below the adjusted thresh-
old level for more than five seconds, recording stops
automatically and enters in recording ready mode.
3. To cancel the Sync recording mode, press the
SYNC REC key. Recording returns to normal and
continues till you press the STOP key or the source
signal stops.
Pressing the STOP key stops recording.
The setting remains when the function is set on again.
NOTE
If you set the value so that only high-level signals trig-
ger recording, remember that the start of a piece may
not be record as in the diagram.

Also remember that when recording from an analog
source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher
than the “noise floor”. If the “noise floor” is higher
than the threshold, a false start will occur:

Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording basically means that recording will
begin automatically when a signal is received, and will stop when
the signal ends.
The SYNC indicator appears on the display.
Starting playback of the source automatically starts recording on
the CD-RW900MKII if Sync function is on (see “Sync record-
ing” below) and manual record start is disabled.
