5 − Recording These models can record to USB memory and SD and CF cards. The SS-CDR200 can also record to CD-R and CD-RW discs. The following formats can be used for audio recording. USB/SD/CF media: MP3 and WAV (44.1/48 kHz sampling frequency) format audio files CD-R/CD-RW discs: MP3 (44.1/48 kHz sampling frequency) and CD format audio files The following explanations assume that you have loaded recordable USB/SD/CF media or a CD-R/CD-RW disc (SS-CDR200 only), completed the necessary connections and turned the unit's power ON. NOTE • If the current device is set to CD, an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc must be inserted. • The maximum number of recordable tracks is 999 tracks for a USB memory, SD card, or CF card (total number of MP3 tracks and WAV tracks) on the SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100. In the case of a CD-R/ CD-RW disc, a data CD disc containing MP3 files can have up to 999 tracks, and an audio CD disc can have up to 99 tracks on the SS-CDR200. • When using media with a capacity of 2 GB or less, 999 tracks cannot be recorded into the root folder due to file system limitations. A maximum of 999 tracks can be recorded into subfolders. • If a write-protected SD card is loaded in the unit, the icon appears on the Home Screen and recording will not be possible. (See "SD card write protection" on page 26.) • You can also copy or convert and copy audio files between a CD and USB/SD/CF media. For details, see "Copying files between CDs and other media (SS-CDR200 only)" on page 63. • You cannot record in WAV format onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc. However, you can copy WAV files from USB/SD/CF media to a CD-R/CD-RW disc, and play back WAV files on a data CD. (See "Creating data CDs" on page 65.) Automatic protection against unintentional power interruptions If an unintentional power interruption occurs when recording to USB/SD/CF media, the protection function prevents complete loss of track recording data. Data up to 25 seconds before the interruption is saved. CAUTION • Although there is a protection function, due to the nature of USB/SD/CF media, if the unit is writing to the system area when the power is interrupted or the USB/ SD/CF media is removed from the unit, all the files on the memory/card could be damaged or lost. For this 40 TASCAM SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100 reason, you should try as much as possible to avoid power interruptions during recording and playback. • This function was not created for the purpose of use with an external timer, for example, turning off the power. Selecting the input source Set the input source (recording source) to one of three types of input (analog balanced, analog unbalanced, digital).
