remote control unit). Prepare to play the
record on the external record player.
3 Press the PHONO key. The input changes to
the RIAA PHONO input (the INPUT 1 PHONO
indicator lights on the display), and the disc
recorder enters record ready mode.
4 Start playing back the record.
5 Start recording on the disc by pressing the
disc
PLAY key.
The level can be adjusted using the CD
INPUT control.
Recording will stop when the recording time
on the disc ends, or when the disc
STOP key
is pressed. The input source returns to the
previously-selected key.
NOTE
No keys are enabled in this phono recording mode,
except for the disc STOP key. This includes the
RECORD key, which can therefore not be used for
manual track increments (“Manual track division” on
page 26). If you want to use manual track division, use
the normal recording procedure, with the phono inputs
selected as the source.
During dubbing with auto track enabled, the trigger
level (“Setting the trigger level” on page 28) is fixed at
–24 dB and cannot be changed.
This mode cannot be entered if a recordable disc is not
loaded in the drive.
It is also possible to perform manual recording to
disc from the
RIAA PHONO source. This is the same
as the standard manual recording procedure (“Basic
recording” on page 25), except that the
PHONO input
option should be selected ( INPUT 1 SEL key) before
recording starts.
NOTE
It is not possible to make manual recordings from the
RIAA PHONO
source to tape.

These sections cover more advanced recording
techniques.
Setting the trigger level
The signal level which may be used with synchro-
nized recording operations (here called the “trigger
level” or “threshold”) is set as below:
1 With a recordable disc loaded, press the MENU
key until the display shows: S_LVL>>
xxdB , where xx is the current value.
2 Turn the MULTI JOG control or use the SKIP
keys to change the value between -24 , -30 ,
-36 , -42 , -48 , -54 , -60 , -66 , and
-72 dB. (-60, -66 and -72 are only for digital).
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.
When a digital source is selected, there is another
option,
DD , which means that any digital signal
above the zero level will trigger the recording.
NOTE
When dubbing from tape to disc (“Dubbing from tape
to disc” on page 27) and auto track enabled, this level is
fixed at –36 dB. When dubbing from a RIAA PHONO
source with auto track on, the level is fixed at –24 dB.
