Track extraction

This mode is used with audio CDs for extracting a
number of tracks from a source disc and copying
them to the target discs. It has no meaning with other
types of disc.

Press the

MODE

key until the display shows

the following:

Press

ENTER

to proceed with the track

extraction. The

MASTER

drive disc tray

opens automatically:

Insert the source disc and close the master
drive disc tray.).

Insert recordable target discs into the slave
drive(s) (the drive trays open automatically).
If you are not using every slave drive, simply
close any empty trays. Close the trays and
wait for all indicators to go out.

Press

ENTER

(or

ESCAPE

to exit). The

source disc is then analyzed to discover if it is
an audio disc, and if so, how many tracks are
on it:

After this analysis, you can extract tracks
one at a time. The bottom line shows the cur-
rent track which you can extract, followed by
the total number of tracks on the source disc
and the total time so far of the selected tracks
in the list if the current track is selected. This
allows you to judge in advance whether add-
ing a track will add too much data to the tar-
get disc:

The screen above shows that the current
track is track 2, out of a total of 14 tracks on
the source disc.

Press

ENTER

to add the currently-shown

track to the list of tracks to be copied, and
move to the next track on the source disc.

Press

MODE

to skip the currently-shown

track (it will not be added to the list) and
move to the next track in the list.

When the last track is reached, the display
shows

Press

ENTER

to continue with the extraction

of the tracks that have been selected so far, or

MODE

to return to the start of the source CD

again and remake the list.

NOTE

Note that

END EXTRACTION?

in this screen

actually asks whether the selection process should be
ended and the extraction process should start.

If you have pressed

ENTER

to continue, the

display shows

SURE ?

. Press

ENTER

again

to confirm that the track copying will start.

As copying of the tracks to be extracted
progresses, the total time of the tracks to be
copied, and a percentage of the copying done
so far is shown on the display.

When the copy is finished, the display shows

Tr Extraction?

NOTE

Recording done in this way is performed in the Disc At
Once (DAO) mode. A 2-second gap is added between
tracks automatically.

You may press and hold the

ESCAPE

key for 5 sec-

onds or more to abort the copying process. However,
note that this will make the target discs unusable for
further operations.
