Digital synchro recording
If you have a CD, MD, DAT or DCC player connected to either of the
digital inputs of this recorder, you can make digital recordings
from it very simply using this mode.
Note that double speed recording is not possible in this mode.
1 Make sure that any discs loaded in
the CD changer are stopped.
2 Load a CD–R or CD–RW disc.
If it’s a blank disc, the display shows NEW DISC .
If the disc isn’t blank, use the DISPLAY button to check that
there's enough space on it for what you want to record.
3 Press INPUT to choose optical or
coaxial input.
Pressing INPUT repeatedly switches the active input:
ANALOG – OPTICAL 1 – OPTICAL 2 – COAXIAL
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
4 If you want to adjust the recording
level:
Start playing a sample of the source material, then turn the
REC VOL knob to adjust the recording level (clockwise to
increase or anticlockwise to reduce). Use the level meter to
guage the the best recording level (the loudest sounds in the
source should just reach 0dB on the meter; the red segments
in the level meter should not light at all).
• Push the REC VOL knob for 3 seconds to reset the recording
level. This means that the recording level will be the same as
the source.
5 Make sure that the source is not
playing, then press SYNCHRO.
Digital synchro recording will not work if the source is
already playing!
Pressing SYNCHRO repeatedly switches the synchro mode:
• 1-track synchro – recorder stops recording when it
encounters a new track number/start ID on the source or 2
seconds of silence.
• all-track synchro – recorder stops recording when it
detects more than 5 seconds of silence in the source
material.
• all-track with finalize – as all-track synchro, but the
recorder automatically finalizes the disc after recording.
The SYNCRO indicator and SYNC (-1) will start to blink
when the recorder is ready.
To cancel recording here, press
7.
6 Play the source.
The recorder starts recording automatically.
Press DISPLAY to switch displays during recording.
7 The recorder goes into record-pause
after recording.
Be careful: In all-track synchro mode, if the recorder
detects another signal, recording starts again.
• If you're using all-track synchro with finalize, the recorder
will start finalizing the disc after a minute of silence.
• Press
7 to finish the recording before ejecting the disc.
If you find that digital synchro recording does not seem
to work, see Digital synchro recording troubleshooting on
page 47 for possible remedies.
