than the threshold, synchronized recording will not
take place.
Because synchronized recording can be turned on
and off while recording is taking place, it is therefore
possible to record with a synchronized automatic
start, and a manual end, or vice versa.
When the source material is being played back
before synchronized recording is enabled, the condi-
tions under which synchronized recording will start
(after synchronized recording has been enabled) are:
When the signal drops below the threshold for one
second or more and then rises above the threshold
again (this is the general condition, of which starting
synchronized recording from a stopped or paused
source is a special case):
Alternatively, when recording digitally from sources
(MD, CD and DAT) which output track divisions,
synchronized recording starts when a track division
is received, regardless of the level:
To stop synchronized recording:
1 Place the unit be in record mode, with the
SYNC indicator in the display lit.
2 Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit
enters record ready mode. The time between
the stopping of the source and entering
record ready mode is used to record a gap at
the end of the track.
3 Restart the source to restart recording (if no
changes are made to the unit’s controls), as
the unit is still in sync mode and will start
recording again when the source is detected.
NOTE
When recording in sync mode, you may notice a slight
delay between starting the source, and the CD-RW4U
responding. This is due to the way in which the unit works,
storing the data in a memory buffer before writing it to the
disc. The resulting delay is therefore not a cause for con-
cern—all audio data received between the start and end
points will be recorded.
