Setting the trigger level
The trigger level is set as below:
1 With a recordable disc loaded, press the
MENU key ( 9 or 6 ) until the display shows:
S_LVL>> -xxdB , where xx is the cur-
rent value.
2 Use the MULTI JOG control B or the SKIP
keys
I
to change the value between -24 ,
-30 , -36 , -42 , -48 , -54 , -60 , -66 ,
and -72 dB.
Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24)
mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start
of the synchronized recording. A high numerical
value (towards –72) means that a relatively quiet sig-
nal will trigger the start of recording.
If you set the value so that only high-level signals
trigger recording, remember that this will not record
the start of a piece with a slow fade-in:
Also remember that when recording from an analog
source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher
than the “noise floor” (the base level of hiss, pops
and crackles which may come from an older vinyl
recording, for example). If the “noise floor” is higher
than the threshold, a false start will occur:
NOTE
When recording in sync mode, you may notice a slight
delay between starting the source, and the CD-RW750
responding. This is due to the way in which the unit
works, storing the data in a memory buffer before writ-
ing it to the disc. The resulting delay is therefore not a
cause for concern—all audio data received between the
start and end points will be recorded.
Automatic track division
The trigger level, as set above (“Setting the trigger
level” on page 22 can also be used to divide tracks if
the A-TRACK (auto track) function is enabled.
When this function is enabled, the unit automatically
inserts a track division in the recorded material when:
• recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre-
ment signal is detected and the sound level rises
above the threshold:
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 two seconds, and sound
has re-started
