7 Limitations of high-speed recording
This unit uses a copy management system to limit the use of high-
speed recording.
• You are unable to perform a second high-speed recording
from the same CD within 74 minutes upon the completion of
the fi rst high-speed recording.
(You are able to perform the second recording at the normal speed.)
"PLEASE WAIT XX MIN" will be displayed if you try to perform a
second high-speed recording.
"XX MIN" – the number of minutes you need to wait prior to
performing the second recording.
• You are unable to perform high-speed recording if the USB's
remaining REC (recording) time is shorter than the CD
album's total playback time.
"CAN'T REC" will be displayed.
• You can record up to 24 discs within 74 minutes.
If you completed recording 24 discs within approximately 74
minutes, you will not be able to record the twenty-fi fth disc.
Note:
• Depending on the condition of the disc, it may not be possible
to record at four times the normal speed or perform high-speed
recording. Record the CD at normal speed.
