Synchro-Recording
When recording a CD, certain conditions
may cause the sound to dropout, noise in the
recording, or even unwanted tracks on the

CD as described in "On cleaning" above, and

speed Synchro-Recording only.
Note on CD-R or CD-RW
playback
Playback of a CD-R or CD-RW recorded by
a CD-R or CD-RW recorder may not be
possible depending on the recording
conditions (e.g., dirty disc, etc.). Also,
please note that you need to finalize a CD-R
or CD-RW before playing it back on DECK
A of this unit or a system other than the one
used to make the recording. (Finalizing is a
process to complete the recording.)
After finalizing a CD-R, you can play it in
any conventional CD player. However,
depending on the state of the recording, the
sound may skip during playback.
After finalizing a CD-RW, you can play it in
a CD-RW compatible player only.
