sound source. When recording from
digital equipment (such as a CD player),
you can omit operating both the recorder
and the sound source, and easily make
digital recording. You can make synchro-
recording only when the optical cable is
connected.

When there is no sound from the player for
about 3 seconds during synchro-recording, the
recorder goes into the standby mode
automatically. When the sound comes from the
player again, the recorder resumes synchro-
recording. If the recorder is kept in the standby
mode for 5 minutes or longer, the recorder stops
automatically.
Notes
• The pause function cannot be turned on or off
manually during synchro-recording. Press
to stop recording.
• Do not switch the "SYNC-R" setting while
recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no sound on the sound
source, there may be cases when recording
does not pause automatically during synchro-
recording due to the noise level emitted from
the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for
approximately 2 seconds during synchro-
recording from a sound source other than a
CD or an MD, a new track mark is
automatically added at the point where the
silent portion ends.
