Synchronized recording

Synchronized recording means that recording will
begin automatically when a signal is received, and
will stop when the signal ends.
To enable or disable synchronized recording:
1
A recordable disc must be loaded.
2
With the unit in record ready or record
mode, press the
SYNC REC

Setting the trigger levels

The signal level which may be used with synchro-
nized recording operations, here called the "trigger
level" or "threshold", is set as described below.
The CD-RW402 provides two separate trigger levels:
one for analog inputs and one for digital.

trigger.

Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24)
mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start
of the synchronized recording. A high numerical
value (towards –72) means that a relatively quiet sig-
nal will trigger the start of recording.

The conditions under which an input signal is used as
the trigger to start recording are:
• when recording digitally, a digital start signal is
detected
or
• the sound level rises above the threshold (see
below) after having been below the threshold for
one second or more. Note that the diagram below
represents a special case (the source is stopped or
paused) of the more general condition, as explained
