TO PLAY IN OTHER MACHINES
As with all recorded CD-R/RW discs, the disc must be finalized before it can be played in other machines.
See page 20 for details.
CHANGING THE ORDER OF TRACKS TO BE DUBBED
Before starting the dubbing, program the tracks so that they will be played in the desired order. See page
24 for details.
• Dub containing programmed playback may only be made by real-time or 2x speed. If you attempt to
make a programmed dubbing at 4x speed, the unit will automatically select the 2x speed.
NOTE
• Recording levels can be adjusted during digital recordings.
• It is possible to listen to the disc while it is being dubbed by selecting the appropriate input on your
receiver, preamp or processor.
• Do not use high volume levels when listening to high-speed dubbings while they are in progress. It may
cause malfunction.
• PAUSE does not operate while a dubbing is in progress.
• Tracks will be added automatically to mirror the track structure of the original disc.
• The total time indication of the recorded CD may vary slightly from the original due to variations in the
spin speed of each drive. But no information has been lost in the recording process.
• If the original disc being dubbed is a digital copy or if it contains copy-prohibit signals, the unit will
automatically make a copy with real-time speed in analog mode because of SCMS (see page 29).
