If you want to listen to the song you recorded, press the [

Important
● Since the CD-2e is equipped with highly-sensitive mics, undesired sounds such as the
operating noise of the CD-R/RW drive or the sound of buttons being pressed may be
recorded inadvertently. If you notice such problems, you can try lowering the input level
of the internal mics.
If you're recording to an SD memory card, no CD-R/RW drive operating noise will be
recorded.
● Depending on where the CD-2e is positioned in relation to the sound source, the recorded
sound may not be evenly distributed between the left and right speakers. In such cases,
you can adjust the left/right volume balance of the internal mics and record your
performance again. For details, refer to "Adjusting the Left/Right Volume Balance of the
Internal Mics" (Page 105).
● When turning the [MIC] knob, you may hear a faint noise when the input level changes,
but this is not a malfunction.
● If you've finished recording a CD-R/RW disc and would like to play that disc on another
CD player, you'll need to execute the "Finalize" operation. You can finalize the CD-R/RW
disc when ejecting it. For details, refer to "Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on
Another CD Player (Finalize)" (Page 83).
The Auto Level function can adjust the input level automatically during recording in
response to the loudness of the audio signal. Auto Level is particularly suitable for
recordings that are mainly of human voices, such as a conference or lecture.
To use the Auto Level function, make the following settings in Step 6-
In this case, the input level will be adjusted automatically, so you won't need to perform
Step 6- .
In Step 6, set the [MIC LEVEL] switch located on the CD-2e's side panel to
its "AUTO" (automatic) position.
