• If you have recorded in WAV format on a CF card,

Applying the compressor while recording

You can apply the SS-CDR1's built-in compressor to the
recording source while you record.
A compressor is an effect that holds down peaks in the
audio, making the overall level more consistent and more
listenable.
You willl use the menu to turn the compressor on/off (for
details on menu operations, refer to "Operations in the
menu screens" on page 18).

• Depending on the CompactFlash (CF) card used on
the unit, when recording MP3 files, incrementing
and creating many tracks in a short time period can
cause over flow (the unit shows the message OVER
FLOW on the screen), and the unit will stop operat-
ing. To avoid such unexpected results, leave a
sufficient time gap after the previous track before
increment the track number.
