Recording Other Sources; Introduction; Monitoring A Source For Recording - Pioneer PDR-W839 Operating Instructions Manual

Introduction

Use the various recording modes described here when you're
recording from a component connected to the recorder either
directly via an optical or coaxial digital connection, or via your
amplifier to the the analog line in jacks.
For most sources, both analog and digital, it's convinient to use
one of the synchro recording modes: 1-track, all track or all track
with finalize.
Should your particular recording application need it, there's also a
manual recording mode.
When recording from external sources, bear in mind the following:
• Most CDs, MDs, DCCs and DATs are digital-copy protected,
which generally means that you can make a copy of the
original, but not a copy of a copy.
• When recording incompatible or copy-proteced digital
sources, use the analog inputs.
• When recording digitally from DAT, the start ID track
markers on the tape may be after the start of the track.
Check the tape you're planning to record and manually
insert new start IDs before recording.
These points are covered in more detail in Additional Information
on pages 44–45.

Monitoring a source for recording

Using the monitor facility you can listen to a source connected to
the analog or digital inputs. This is especially useful for cueing up

in the proper places during automatic track numbering.

this unit.

If the source is digital, the display indicates the type of
source if it recognizes it (CD, MD, DVD, DAT, DCC) and the
sampling rate (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz). If the digital signal is
incompatible or copy-protected, the display shows
Can't REC.

numbers change with those on the source material).
