Owner’s Manual

Creating an audio CD

Move the cursor to the dotted frame in the

track list, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or

the [INC]/[DEC] keys to select the song that

will be written to track 1.

If you want the stereo track of the selected

song to be divided into CD tracks at the

location of each marker, move the cursor to

the MARKER button and press the [ENTER]

key.

Markers will be enabled for that song, and a “ﬂag”

icon will appear at the right of the list.

Repeat steps 5–7 to select the songs that

will be written to track 2 and following.

Move the cursor to the WRITE button and

press the [ENTER] key.

A popup window will ask you to conﬁrm.

To begin writing the disc, move the cursor

to the OK button and press the [ENTER]

key.

A popup window will indicate “CD Writing...” while

data is being written to the media. When writing is

completed, the CD-R/RW media will be ejected, and

the following popup window will appear.

If you want to create another CD with identi-

cal contents, insert a new disc, and move

the cursor to the OK button and press the

[ENTER] key.

Writing will begin again. Alternatively, you can move

the cursor to the CANCEL button and press the

[ENTER] key to exit the write operation.

•

Songs in which data has not been recorded on the virtual

tracks selected for the stereo track will not be displayed. A

current song that was not saved after the stereo track was

recorded will also not be displayed.

•

Songs with a stereo track shorter than four seconds will not

be displayed.

•

Songs with the sampling frequency of 48 kHz will not be dis-

played.

HINT

•

Markers can be enabled/disabled independently for each

song.

•

When you use markers to divide a stereo track, the location of

the divisions will be speciﬁed in units of 1/75 second.

HINT

•

Note that if markers are enabled, the track numbers shown in

the list will not match the number of tracks written to the CD.

•

A maximum of 99 tracks can be written to an audio CD. If, for

example, markers are enabled for the song you write to CD

track 1, and this song contains 98 markers, it will not be possi-

ble to write any more songs to that CD-R/RW disc.

NOTE

•

Pressing the [F1]–[F3] keys while holding the Display section

[SHIFT] key has the same effect as the ADD ([F1] key),

INSERT ([F2] key), and DELETE ([F3] key) buttons, respec-

tively.

HINT

•

When you add a song to the track list, the added song will

always be initially selected. Change this as required.

[SHIFT] key has the same effect as the WRITE button.

HINT

•

If you enabled the write test in “Basic settings for the CD-RW

drive” (

data is actually written. An error message will appear if a

problem occurs during the write test.
