RECORDING GENERAL Basic information We will describe: - Digital recording from internal CDC (fast or normal recording). - Recording from external CD player: - Digital - Digital (synchronized start with external CD player) - Analog - Finalizing discs: Finalizing a CDRW disc is a simple procedure, necessary to: - play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player - play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player • The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs. Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles. • It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try. • If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that recording can start from there. • For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum of recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Else, NOT FITTING is displayed and you cannot enter into the record standby mode. • When you try to record a copy protected material from an external source, LOP. PRO TEE T will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then. • The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows digital recording under specific conditions: - This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital copy. - Analog recording is always possible ! - The number of recordings from the original is unlimited. • Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop automatically. Important Ifyou want toplay therecordedCDR disc on any regular CD player, it must first be finalised. See finalising discs. Finalised CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD players. Direct Line Recording (DLR) The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the source material, meaning a true "bit for bit" recording. DLR will always become active, when you make normal recordings in listen mode as well as in double speed mode. Auto Level Control (ALC) Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc have a similar volume level. Always the already recorded tracks of the CDRW disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of the following recordings. ALC is active, when ALc is shown. Auto level control becomes active, when: - COMPILE CD is being used, - a disc, a track or a track edit (A-B) is being high speed recorded, - a program from the CD changer is being high speed recorded. Auto level control will not become active, when: - CD-CD is being used for an empty CDRW, - making recordings from an external source, or - making normal recordings in listen mode. BALANCE key ikitil(ii You can set the reference record balance for both digital and analog recordings. 1 Keep BALANCE on the set pressed to enable the - JOG CONTROL + to set the BALANCE. 2 Rotate the - JOG CONTROL + to set the desired balance. 4 The set balance will be displayed. - ninu 0 nn ik For recording from external CD changers do not use FL/ PRVIJI7L, butFILP TP)117. orAU;; 1171. • The balance is reset after the set has been switched to standby. 22 RECORDING GENERAL INTERNAL RECORDING REC LEVEL key .....„ 0.,... - o Y-.1:J , You can adjust the reference record level for both digital and analog recordings.

Remarks on recording - During high speed recording, the original recording quality will be maintained. - When Auto Track is on (default setting), track numbers will automatically be increased during recording. - If a finalised CDR disc is inserted in the CD recorder and CD-CD is pressed, FIP,IFIL 'EJ 3 will be displayed. Recording is not possible. - If a finalised CDRW disc is inserted in the CD recorder and REC TYPE is pressed, ',INF IN111_ I LE ? will be displayed. If YES is pressed, the disc will be unfinalised. Note: If during recording RPJFIL DC RED appears, the track is copy protected and will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other tracks will be copied normally (at double speed). Warning: No more recording possible after finalizing CDR discs! The CD-Recorderrecords the textmemorysimultaneously when using the internal CD-deck Some discs are prohibitedto copy the textmemory. Ksuch a disc is copied,no textmemory willberecorded. When you copy a special disc such as HDCD or DTS, you have to • set the sampling frequency at 44.1kHz. • use the digital connection. • set the digital rec-volume of the CD-Recorder at 0 dB. When you copy the tracks from a DAT recorded by different sampling frequencies, noise might be recorded in the disc. Please set a sampling frequency for every track in a DAT. - This CD-Recorder can record about 17 seconds of a pause time, which decreases the time count just before music start in a track on the display. If you record a track including more than 17-seconds-pause time by digital recording, the pause time will be recorded the different length of time from original. However, the entire track time will not be changed and be able to listen to the music as same as original.
