Introduction

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own
CDs.Your recorder offers several recording modes:
For recording from internal CD-deck:
RECORD FAST (high speed digital recording)
- fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks.
REC LISTEN (normal speed digital recording)
- listening to a recording while making it.
MAKE CD (high speed digital recording and auto-finalize)
- fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks.
Recording will be finalized automatically.
For recording from external sources:
REC EXT DISC (automatic start of recording)
- to make an automatic recording of an external source
simply by starting the source.
REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording)
- to start a manual recording from an external source
simply by pressing the RECORD button.
Important: Use only discs with CDR AUDIO only or
CDRW AUDIO only logo. Discs for use in a personal
computer's CD-(re)writer cannot be used in an Audio
CD-recorder.
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a
regular CD player, it must be finalized.
Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,
- write CD text on a CDR(W).
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW
compatible CD players.
