Philips CDR785BK - Manual (Page 22)

We will describe:
– Digital recording from internal CDC (fast or normal
recording).
– Recording from external CD player:
– Digital
– Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)
– Analog
– Finalizing discs:
Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:
– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player
– play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player
• The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.
Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.
• It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.
• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will
automatically search for the end of the last track, so that
recording can start from there.
• For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can
record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum of
recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Else,
NOT
FITTING is displayed and you cannot enter into the record
standby mode.
• When you try to record a copy protected material from an
external source, COPY PROTECT will be displayed. No
further digital recording is possible then.
• The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows
digital recording under specific conditions:
– This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy from
a digital copy.
– Analog recording is always possible !
– The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.
• Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop
automatically.
Important:
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any regular
CD player, it must first be finalised. See finalising discs.
Finalised CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD
players.
For recording from external CD changers do not use
AUX
MANUAL, but AUX TRACK or AUX CD.
The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct
Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the
source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording. DLR will
always become active, when you make normal recordings in listen
mode as well as in double speed mode.
Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc
have a similar volume level. Always the already recorded tracks of
the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of
the following recordings. ALC is active, when
ALC is shown.
Auto level control becomes active, when:
– COMPILE CD is being used,
– a disc, a track or a track edit (A-B) is being high speed
recorded,
– a program from the CD changer is being high speed recorded.
Auto level control will not become active, when:
– CD™CD is being used for an empty CDR(W),
– making recordings from an external source, or
– making normal recordings in listen mode.
You can set the reference record balance for both digital and
analog recordings.
1 Keep BALANCE on the set pressed to enable the
¡ JOG CONTROL ™ to set the BALANCE.
2 Rotate the ¡ JOG CONTROL ™ to set the desired balance.
➜ The set balance will be displayed.
