Introduction
Use the various recording modes described here when you're
recording from a component connected to the recorder either
directly via an optical or coaxial digital connection, or via your
amplifier to the the analog line in jacks.
For most sources, both analog and digital, it's convinient to use
one of the synchro recording modes: 1-track, all track or all track
with finalize.
Should your particular recording application need it, there's also a
manual recording mode.
When recording from external sources, bear in mind the following:
• Most CDs, MDs, DCCs and DATs are digital-copy protected,
which generally means that you can make a copy of the
original, but not a copy of a copy.
• When recording incompatible or copy-proteced digital
sources, use the analog inputs.
• When recording digitally from DAT, the start ID track
markers on the tape may be after the start of the track.
Check the tape you’re planning to record and manually
insert new start IDs before recording.
These points are covered in more detail in Additional Information
on pages 36–37.
Monitoring a source for recording
Using the monitor facility you can listen to a source connected to
the analog or digital inputs. This is especially useful for setting the
recording level and/or checking the compatibility of a digital
source connected to the optical or coaxial input.
1 Stop playback of any discs playing in
this unit.
2 Start playing the source.
3 Press INPUT to select the input to be
monitored.
Pressing INPUT repeatedly switches the active input:
ANALOG – OPTICAL – COAXIAL
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
3 The display shows monitoring
information.
If the source is digital, the display indicates the type of
source if it recognizes it (CD, MD, DVD, DAT, DCC) and the
sampling rate (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz). If the digital signal is
incompatible or copy-protected, the display shows
Can’t copy.
If the source is analog, the display shows MONITOR .
The level meter shows the recording level. Adjust using the
REC LEVEL knob.
4 To stop monitoring, press
