Unfinalizing discs
This is the opposite of finalizing—removing the
TOC to allow more tracks to be added (subject to the
space available on the disc).
This is only possible with CD-RW discs, of course.
To unfinalize a disc, press the on-screen
ton in the Virtual Front Panel (see "The virtual front
panel (VFP)" on page 17) to bring up a pop-up mes-
sage.
Erasing discs (CD-RW)
CD-RW discs can be erased and reused using the
erase function available from the VFP.
To erase a disc, press the on-screen
the Virtual Front Panel (see "The virtual front panel
(VFP)" on page 17) to select either a full erase of the
disk (
Full Erase
) or a faster erase (
and bring up a pop-up message.
Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording allows the starting of record-
ing when the level goes above a set level or when
digital input is received.
This level is set using the
the threshold level" on page 25).
Repeated short presses of the
the function through off, rehearsal mode (indicator is
flashing), and active (indicator is lit).
Recording starts and stops under the following condi-
tions:
• When a CD, DAT or MD is the digital recording
source, when the signal exceeds the threshold level,
recording starts.
Rehearsed synchronized recording
When the
indicator is flashing, synchro-
SYNC REC
nized recording can be rehearsed.
This allows "false starts", etc. to be eliminated, as the
time that recording starts can be slipped up to 1.7
seconds (in 0.01 second increments) relative to the
time that input signal goes over the trigger threshold
level.

when a start ID is detected from DAT, or when the
appropriate PQ code is detected from CD or MD
players. When recording from an analog source,
this is equivalent to a level setting of –54 dB.
• If the source is analog, recording starts if one sec-
ond or more of "below-threshold" signal is
received, followed by a signal above the threshold.
If the sound immediately starts at a loud level,
recording will not start.
• Recording stops when the signal drops below the
threshold level for more than five seconds or (in the
case of recording from a digital source) when a
digital track stop signal is received.
