Index operations
Many CDs contain index information as sub-track
divisions, often in classical music to mark scene divi-
sions in opera or the beginning of instrumental pas-
sages, etc. The CD-RW402 also supports indexes, and allows you to carry out a number of useful opera-
tions with regard to them.
Note that although both drives of the CD-RW402 can
display index markers, there is no index locate facil-
ity built into the CD-RW402.
Index increment
Whether the index increment option is on or off (see
below), it is possible to increment the index markers
manually by pressing the drive 2
CALL key as
recording takes place.
However, by setting the index increment option on,
index markers outside the tracks in the SUB-Q code
of SPDIF digital signals will be automatically
recorded. Index numbers are shown in small digits to
the right of the track number.

Extended check (overburning)
On some media, it is possible to record over the
stated time as marked on the disc.
To check this:
1 Press and hold the RECORD key of drive 2
(in stop mode) for more than 2 seconds.
2 The display shows ExtendCheck? . Press the
MULTI DIAL or REC key to start the check,
STOP to cancel the operation.

shows

to the right for some time.

Drive 2

while the check is taking place.
After the check is complete, the available
time for recording may be extended, as

NOTE
Although the CD-RW402 may report that extended
recording may take place on a disc, it may be that
extended recording is not actually possible when it is
attempted.
Because such extended recording does not conform to
the Orange Book standard, discs created in this way
may not be playable on other CD players.
