5IM−PROeRcToArNdiTnSgAFETY PRECAUTIONS Basic recording 1. Load a recordable disc into the unit. As the disc loaded, the display shows TOC Reading, with the period flashing. 2. Press the INPUT SELECT key to select a recording source (see "Input selection" on page 23). If a digital source is selected, and the connection or the signal are improper, the error message D-IN UNLOCK! will appear on the display. 3. Press the RECORD key. The unit enters record ready mode, as shown by the REC and READY indicators on the display. NOTE As the unit enters record ready mode, the display shows Now OPC(Optimum Power Control) occasionally, as the unit prepares to record on the disc. To adjust the level of the source, following the guidelines in "Input selection" on page 23. NOTE The red "OVER" indicators on the meters should never light. Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units pro-duce extremely unpleasant sounds when distorted, and there is no "headroom" after the 0 mark. If recording digitally from a commercially-produced CD, the volume set in the menu should be 0 dB. This will maintain all the dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. Only boost the signal if the source is exceptionally quiet. An analog signal input at nominal level, with no cut or boost from the volume controls, is equivalent to a reading of −16 dB on the meters. Time display while recording When in record or record ready mode, repeated presses of the TIME key cycle through four different time modes: • Elapsed track time (no display light indication) • Remaining track time (REMAIN is lit in the display) • Elapsed disc time (TOTAL is lit in the display) • Remaining disc time (TOTAL and REMAIN are lit in the display) 4. Press the PLAY key to start recording. Pressing the READY key stands by recording temporarily. To restart recording, press the READY key or PLAY key again. 5. Press the STOP key to stop recording. When recording stops, the display shows PMA Writing(Program Memory Area) flashing for a few seconds as the unit writes to the disc. NOTE When PMA Writing is shown on the display, all keys are ignored. To confirm the total recording time, use the REC TIME option in the SYSTEM sub-menu (see "Operation basics" on page 15). NOTE Do not vibrate the unit or turn off the power when the unit writes to the disc, otherwise, recording will fail. Full disc If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will automatically insert a fade-out. For example: When recording a long program, just before the end of the disc is reached, the unit starts a fade-out over four seconds and the display will show Fade Out. When the fade-out has finished, the display shows Disc Full!. Press the STOP key to exit. If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased, if required (see "Erasing" on page 29) and the disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be finalized prior to use (see "Finalizing" on page 28). 24 TASCAM CD-RW900SL
