5 − Recording
These models can record to USB memory and SD and
CF cards. The SS-CDR200 can also record to CD-R and
CD-RW discs. The following formats can be used for audio

recording.

USB/SD/CF media:
MP3 and WAV (44.1/48 kHz sampling frequency) format
audio files
CD-R/CD-RW discs:
MP3 (44.1/48 kHz sampling frequency) and CD format
audio files
The following explanations assume that you have loaded
recordable USB/SD/CF media or a CD-R/CD-RW disc
(SS-CDR200 only), completed the necessary connections
and turned the unit's power ON.
NOTE
If the current device is set to
•
CD-RW disc must be inserted.
The maximum number of recordable tracks is 999
•
tracks for a USB memory, SD card, or CF card (total
number of MP3 tracks and WAV tracks) on the
SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100. In the case of a CD-R/
CD-RW disc, a data CD disc containing MP3 files can
have up to 999 tracks, and an audio CD disc can have
up to 99 tracks on the SS-CDR200.
When using media with a capacity of 2 GB or less, 999
•
tracks cannot be recorded into the root folder due to
file system limitations. A maximum of 999 tracks can be
recorded into subfolders.
If a write-protected SD card is loaded in the unit, the
•
icon appears on the Home Screen and recording will
not be possible. (See "SD card write protection" on page
26.)
You can also copy or convert and copy audio files
•
between a CD and USB/SD/CF media. For details,
see "Copying files between CDs and other media
(SS-CDR200 only)" on page 63.
You cannot record in WAV format onto a CD-R/CD-RW
•
disc. However, you can copy WAV files from USB/SD/CF
media to a CD-R/CD-RW disc, and play back WAV files
on a data CD. (See "Creating data CDs" on page 65.)
Automatic protection against
unintentional power interruptions
If an unintentional power interruption occurs when
recording to USB/SD/CF media, the protection function
prevents complete loss of track recording data. Data up to
25 seconds before the interruption is saved.
CAUTION
Although there is a protection function, due to the
•
nature of USB/SD/CF media, if the unit is writing to the
system area when the power is interrupted or the USB/
SD/CF media is removed from the unit, all the files on
the memory/card could be damaged or lost. For this
