Fade-in and fade-out recording

At the beginning and end of recording, fade-in and
fade-out effects can be performed.
1 During stop or recording standby mode, set the op-
eration using the following menu options on the REC
sub-menu (refer to "Operation basics" on page 14).
FADE IN?
The length of the fade in to the normal level can be
set between 1 and 30 seconds in 1-second incre-
ments (default setting: 3 seconds).
FADE OUT?
The length of the fade out into complete silence
can be set between 1 and 30 seconds in 1-second
incre-ments (default setting: 3 seconds).
The display shows Fade Out>XXs or Fade In>XXs.
Synchronaized recording
Synchronized recording basically means that recording
will begin automatically when a signal is received, and
will stop when the signal ends.
Use the SYNC REC key to select the synchronization
mode. The synchronization mode determines the auto-
mated start and stopping of recording when a signal is
received.
During stop or recording stancby mode, repeated
presses of this key cycle through the fol-lowing modes:
≠ Sync ALL: The SYNC indicator lights up.
≠ Sync 1: The unit stops when a selected track is fin-
ished and the SYNC indicator flashes
≠ Sync OFF: Turns Sync recording function off

Sync recording

1 While recording standby mode, press the SYNC
REC key repeatedly to select Sync ALL or Sync 1.
2 Set the signal detection threshold level. Use the
SYNC LEVEL option in the REC sub-menu (refer to
"Operation basics" on page 14).
Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to adjust the level. The
level can be set from -72 dB to -24 dB in 6 dB incre-
ments. The default setting is -24 dB.
Press the MENU key or push the MULTI JOG dial to
enter and return to recording standby mode.
3 Input the source signal.
Recording begins automatically when the source
signal is detected. The source signal should be high-
er than the adjusted threshold level.

2 In recording standby mode, press the FADER key
on the remote control.
Recording begins and the sound fades in. After the
preset fade-in time, the sound is at normal level.
3 During recording, press the FADER key on the re-
mote control when you wish to fade-out the sound.
Fade-out begins with Fade Out flashing on the dis-
play then the unit enters recording standby mode.
4 Press the STOP key and the PMA writing will begin.
NOTE
Fade-in or fade-out function can be operated only
pressing the FADER key on the remote control unit.
After the synchronization mode is selected, the record
ready mode must then be entered (you cannot reverse
the order of these steps).
Starting playback of the source automatically starts re-
cording on the CD-RW900 if Sync ALL or Sync 1 has
been selected (see "Sync recording" below) and manual
record start is disabled. If Sync OFF is selected, the re-
cording must be started manually.
