Recording a track into an
existing group
1 While the recorder is stopped, press
GROUP for 2 seconds or more.
2 Press GROUP slightly.
You can select a group directly (group
skip mode).
3 Within 5 seconds, press . or >
repeatedly until the group you want the
track to belong to appears.
4 Press and slide REC to the right.
5 Play the source sound.
Notes
• Even if "REC-Posi" is set to "From Here",
newly recorded tracks are inserted after the
existing tracks in the specified group
without recording over the current contents.
• The group skip mode turns off
automatically in step 3 if nothing is done
within 5 seconds. To continue the
procedure, do step 2 again.
Synchro-recording from a
digital source
See the illustrations in Japanese text (pages 29
and 30).
You can easily make a digital recording of
a digital source on an MD.
Before synchro-recording, be sure to make
digital connection and insert a recordable
MD. Note that track marks are
automatically marked at the same positions
as the source.
1 While the recorder is stopped, press the
jog dial, turn the dial until "SYNC REC"
flashes in the display, and then press the
dial again.
2 Turn the jog dial until "SYNC ON"
flashes in the display, and then press the
jog dial.
"SYNC" lights up in the display.
3 Press and slide REC to the right.
"REC" lights up in the display.
The recorder starts recording when you
start playing the source player.
4 Start the sound source.
To cancel synchro-recording
Select "SYNC OFF" in step 3.
Notes
• The pause function cannot be turned on or
off manually during synchro-recording.
• Do not switch the "SYNC REC" setting
while recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no recorded 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 about 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.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the
connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if
the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack.
• You cannot change the recording mode
during recording.
Recording without
overwriting existing material
See the illustration in Japanese text (page 30).
If you wish to avoid overwriting the
current contents of an MD, do the
following procedure. All new material will
then be recorded from the end of the
current contents.
1 While the recorder is stopped, press the
jog dial, turn the dial until "OPTION"
flashes in the display, and then press the
dial again.
2 Turn the jog dial repeatedly until "REC-
Posi" flashes in the display, and then
press the dial.
3 Turn the jog dial repeatedly until "From
End" flashes in the display, and then
press the dial.
To start recording from the
current point.
Select "From Here" in step 3.
Notes
• If you start recording while the recorder is in
play-pause mode, the recording will begin
from the point at which it is paused.
• The setting will remain even after the power
is turned off.
