RECORDING

Remarks about recording

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first
try.
We will describe:
- Recording from internal CD player deck: high speed or
listen mode.
- Recording from an external CD player deck: synchronised
start with CD player or manual start. (analogue or digital)
• If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalised you must
unfinalise it first.
• The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and
CDRWs.
• 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.
• CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and
during recording.
• CD text can not be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the CD
player.)
• The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the
internal CD player deck. (If not subjected to copy
protection.) This may take up to 2 minutes.
• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on
the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record
standby mode. DOES NOT FIT then lights up.
• If the display indicates COPY PROTECT, no digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.
• 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.
- Analogue recording is always possible !
- The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.
• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.
Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.
• 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 CD changers always use REC EXT
DISC .

For recording from external sources:
- REC EXT DISC (automatic start of recording) - to make an
automatic recording of an external source simply by starting
the source.
- REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording) - to start a manual
recording from an external source.
Some remarks on recording:
- During high speed recording, the original recording quality
will be maintained.
- When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will
automatically be increased during recording.
- By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.
- If a finalised CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when
RECORDING-TYPE is pressed. Recording is not possible.
- If a finalised CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be
displayed when the RECORDING-TYPE is pressed. If ENTER
is pressed, the disc will be unfinalised.
Note: If during recording ANALOG REC appears, the track
will be recorded as analogue, at normal speed. All
other tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).
