Continuous recording (CONT REC)
Using two CD-RW901MKII units to make continuous recording.
1 Connect two CD-RW901MKII units using the
PARALLEL ports.
Unit 1 Unit 2
EOM TALLY (pin 5) FADER START/STOP
(pin 11)
FADER START/STOP
(pin 11)
EOM TALLY (pin 5)
GND (pin 8) GND (pin 8)
2 On both units, select the CONT REC sub-menu in
the REC option (see “Operation basics” on page 16).
Cont Rec> XXX
appears on the display where
XXX shows time setting of 30s, 60s or 90s to trigger
the units to start recording when the EOM (End of
Message) tally signal is received one after another.
NOTE
OFF is also shown in the time setting, however if
selected, the CONT REC function is canceled.
We recommend selecting the same time setting on
both units.
The CD-RW901MKII may take longer for OPC calibra-
tion for discs with scratches, grime or dust. To avoid
clipping a recording, we recommend not to use such
discs, or to select a time setting more than 30s.
3 Connect recording source(s) to both units.
4 Press
REC key on the one of the units to start
continuous recording, and
Cont Rec
lights up in
the display.
While the one unit is recording, the second unit
should be in stop mode.
When the remaining time on a disc being recorded
reaches the time setting, the unit sends the EOM
tally signal to the second unit.
Simultaneously,
Now OPC
is displayed on the second
unit, and when OPC calibration completes, the unit
starts recording.
The two units are now in recording mode during
the time setting selected.
When the first unit finishes recording, the recorded disc
should be replaced with another recordable disc for the
next recording which starts when the unit receives the EOM
tally signal from the second unit. This loop recording will be
continued until either of the units is stopped.
NOTE
While the first unit is recording, the second unit can
be set in recording standby mode. However, it may
shorten the unit’s lifetime by running the motor
continuously. We recommend to set the second unit in
stop mode during stand by.
If the number of tracks is restricted, the EOM tally
signal is not output and the continuous recording
cannot be operated.
The CONT REC function remains selected even the
power is turned off, so that when the power is turned
on again on one of the units, and when the following
conditions are met, the unit starts recording:
• Both units are connected
• The unit has a recordable disc
To avoid recording accidently, remove the recordable
disc from the unit before turning off the power, or
disconnect the units from each other.
Use two CD-RW901MKII units connected only when
CONT REC is operated. In any other operation, two
units should be disconnected, or set the CONT REC
function off on both units to avoid any unexpected
recording.
