The AI edit function enables CD recording without worrying about
tape length and track length. When a CD is inserted, the unit
automatically calculates the total track length. If necessary, the
track order is rearranged so that no track is cut short.
(AI: Artificial Intelligence)
NOTE
• Use Type I (normal) and Type II (high/CrO
2
) tapes for recording.
• AI edit recording will not start from a point halfway into the
tape. The tape must be recorded from the beginning of either
side.
1 Load the tape, and turn Dolby NR on or off using
DOLBY NR on the main unit, SHIFT and DOLBY
NR on the remote control, or JOG MODE and
VOLUME/MULTI JOG on the main unit. (See page
11, "PLAYING BACK A TAPE" for details.)
Load the tape with the side to be recorded on first facing
upward.
2 Press CD on the remote control (or press
FUNCTION on the main unit repeatedly) so that
"CD" appears, and load the disc.
3 Press EDIT repeatedly while pressing SHIFT on
the remote control until "EDIT" lights up and "AI"
flashes on the display.
4 Press the numbered buttons on the remote
control to designate the tape length.
10 to 99 minutes can be specified.
Example: When using a 60-minute tape, press the 6 and 0
buttons.
In a few seconds, the microcomputer determines the tracks
to be recorded on each side of the tape.
•
f and g are also available to designate the tape length.
5 Press w REC/REC MUTE to start recording.
The tape is rewound to the beginning of the side facing upward,
the lead segment is played through for 10 seconds, and
recording starts. When recording on the side facing upward
(side A) ends, recording on the opposite side (side B) starts.
To stop recording
Press s . Recording and CD play stop simultaneously.
To clear the edit program
Press s repeatedly in stop mode so that "EDIT" disappears on
the display.
To check the order of the programmed track numbers
Before recording, press EDIT while pressing SHIFT on the remote
control to select side A or B, and press
g repeatedly.
Time on cassette tapes and editing time
The actual cassette recording time is usually a little longer than
the specified recording time printed on the label. This unit can
program tracks to use the extra time. When the total recording
time is a little longer than the tape’s specified recording time
after editing, the display shows the extra time (without a minus
sign mark), instead of the time remaining on the tape (with the
minus sign mark).
NOTE
• Recording is prohibited if the erasure prevention tab on either
side of the tape is broken off.
• The AI edit function cannot be used with discs containing 31
tracks or more.
