Note that double speed recording is not possible in this mode. 1 Make sure that any discs loaded in the CD changer are stopped. 2 Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc. If it's a blank disc, the display shows NEW DISC. If the disc isn't blank, use the DISPLAY button to check that there's enough space on it for what you want to record. 3 Press INPUT to choose optical or coaxial input. Pressing INPUT repeatedly switches the active input: ANALOG - OPTICAL - COAXIAL The recorder's display indicates the current input. 4 If you want to adjust the recording level: Start playing a sample of the source material, then turn the REC VOL knob to adjust the recording level (clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to reduce). Use the level meter to guage the the best recording level (the loudest sounds in the source should just reach 0dB on the meter; the red segments in the level meter should not light at all). • Push the REC VOL knob for 3 seconds to reset the recording level. This means that the recording level will be the same as the source. 5 Make sure that the source is not playing, then press SYNCHRO. Digital synchro recording will not work if the source is already playing! Pressing SYNCHRO repeatedly switches the synchro mode: • 1-track synchro - recorder stops recording when it encounters a new track number/start ID on the source or 2 seconds of silence. • all-track synchro - recorder stops recording when it detects more than 5 seconds of silence in the source material. • all-track with finalize - as all-track synchro, but the recorder automatically finalizes the disc after recording. The SYNCRO indicator and SYNC(-1) will start to blink when the recorder is ready. To cancel recording here, press 7. 6 Play the source. The recorder starts recording automatically. Press DISPLAY to switch displays during recording. 7 The recorder goes into record-pause after recording. Be careful: In all-track synchro mode, if the recorder detects another signal, recording starts again. • If you're using all-track synchro with finalize, the recorder will start finalizing the disc after a minute of silence. • Press 7 to finish the recording before ejecting the disc. If you find that digital synchro recording does not seem to work, see Digital synchro recording troubleshooting on page 48 for possible remedies. 40 En
