PRECAUTIONS
ON RECORDING PROGRAMMED PLAY
Do not attempt to record a sequence of tracks, as programmed on your DAT, DCC or other digital sources.
Those tracks would not be numbered continuously. If you want to record a sequence of tracks, record them
one by one.
ABOUT THE UPDATE PROCESS
“UPDATE” is displayed after recording. The update process writes non-audio data in the PMA (Program
Memory Area) of the disc. When finalizing the disc, TOC (Table Of Contents) is generated from the PMA
data.
WHEN DIGITAL INPUT IS INTERRUPTED DURING RECORDING
If incoming digital input from the source device is interrupted momentarily, such as when the sampling
frequency is changed on the source, a blank segment is recorded. If there is an interruption longer than 4
seconds, this unit stops recording and updates the PMA data.
WHEN RECORDING ADDITIONAL TRACKS
Additional recordings are made in sequence to the end of the last track on a non-finalized CD-R/RW if
there is enough time remaining on the disc. Up to 99 tracks can be recorded on a single disc.
MINIMUM LENGTH OF RECORDING YOU CAN MAKE
The shortest possible length of recording is restricted to 6 seconds. In other words, you cannot terminate
recording before the first 6 seconds are up. During this interval, pressing PLAY or STOP has no effect.
COMPRESSED AUDIO, AND VIDEO OR GRAPHICS DATA
This unit is not capable of recording compressed audio like DTS and Dolby Digital Surround sounds. Non-
audio data contained in a Graphics CD or HDCD cannot be recorded on this unit either.
COPY PROHIBIT
Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy protection data bit that will prevent the disc from being
dubbed. In this case, “COPY PROHIBIT” will light.
SRC (SAMPLE-RATE CONVERTER) INDICATOR
This indicator lights when the Sample-Rate Converter is in use to change the digital sample rate when the
incoming signal is not the standard 44.1kHz used by standard CDs. This is an automatic function and does
not require any user intervention.
