• When there is no sound from the player for
about 3 seconds during synchro-recording, the
recorder goes into the standby mode

the player again, the recorder resumes
synchro-recording. If the recorder is kept in
the standby mode for 5 minutes or longer, the
recorder stops automatically.

the recording mode, and then start the
procedure of synchro-recording.
Notes
• Do not switch SYNCHRO REC while
recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no recorded sound on the
sound source, there may be cases when
recording does not pause automatically during
synchro-recording due to the noise level
emitted from the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for
approximately 2 seconds during synchro-
recording from a sound source other than a
CD or an MD, a new track mark is
automatically added at the point where the
silent portion ends.

connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if
the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack.

level or the recording mode during synchro-
