Manually Recording a Digital Source
If you are recording from a digital source other than
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
— digital satellite, for example — synchro recording is
not possible since there are no track numbers or start
ID
s to signal the start and end points of the recording. For these
sources, use the manual recording method described here.
1
Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc.
Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc
for what you want to record.
2
Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose one of the
digital inputs.
Pressing
INPUT
SELECTOR
repeatedly switches the active input:
ANA (Analog) - OPT (Optical) - COA (Coaxial)
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
3
Press RECORD
¶ ( ¶ REC on the remote control).
The recorder goes into record-pause mode.
4
Start playing the source to check it’s recordable.
If the recorder does not recognize the digital format, or the source is
copy-protected using
SCMS
, the message
CAN
NOT
REC
or
CAN
NOT
COPY
appears. In either case, you won't be able to record digitally — use the
analog inputs instead (see
Recording an Analog Source on page 25).
If necessary, set the recording level (see the following page).
If the signal appears
OK
, stop the source.
5
Check that the time display reads 00:00, then press
8 (pause) or 3 (play) to start recording.
6
Restart playback of the source material.
If the
AUTO
TRACK
indicator is lit in the display then the recorder will start
a new track each time it detects a signal after at least two seconds of
continuous silence. (To switch off auto track numbering see page 30.)
7
When you're done, press
7 (stop).
❖
After pressing
7 (stop), the display shows
PMA
REC
while it records
the track information to the disc.
