You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.
The following will be explained:
- Recording from an internal CD player deck: high-speed or
listen mode.
- Recording from an external CD player deck: synchronized
start with CD player or manual start (analog or digital).
• If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized, you must
unfinalize it first.
• The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs.
• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will
automatically search for the end of the last track, so that
recording can start from there.
• CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and
during recording.
• CD text cannot be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the CD
player.)
• The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the
internal CD player deck (if not subjected to copy protection).
This may take up to 2 minutes.
• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on
the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record
standby mode.
DOES NOT FIT will then show on the
display.
• If the display indicates
COPY PROTECT no digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.
• The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only
allows digital recording under specific conditions:
- This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy
from a digital copy.
- Analog recording is always possible !
- The number of recordings to be made from the original is
unlimited.
• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.
Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.
• Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop
automatically.
Important:
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a regular
CD player, it must be finalized. See finalizing discs.
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible
CD players.
For recording from CD changers always use
REC EXT
DISC.
Your recorder offers several recording modes.
For recording from internal CD-deck:
- RECORD FAST (high-speed digital recording) - fast recording
of a disc or programmed tracks.
- REC LISTEN (normal-speed digital recording) - listening to a
recording while making it.
- MAKE CD (high-speed digital recording and auto-finalize) -
fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording
will be finalized automatically.
Warning: No more recording possible after finalizing CDR
disc!
For recording from external sources:
- REC EXT DISC (automatic start of recording) - to make an
automatic recording of an external source simply by starting
the source.
- REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording) - to start a manual
recording from an external source.
Some remarks on recording:
- During high speed recording, the original recording quality
will be maintained.
- When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will
automatically be increased during recording.
- By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.
- If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder,
FINALIZED CD will be displayed when REC
TYPE is pressed. Recording will not be possible.
- If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder,
UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be
displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is
pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.
Note: If during recording
ANALOG REC appears, the track
will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other
tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).
