4 - Recording Overdubbing with higher sound quality (DIRECT MIX) In the DIRECT MIX mode, the playback sound and mic input sounds are mixed in the unit when recording, allowing overdubbing at higher quality. Headphones should be used for monitoring to prevent the microphones from picking up the playback sound. The DIRECT MIX mode is automatically activated when headphones are connected. You can also follow the steps below to activate the DIRECT MIX mode manually to overdub sounds in higher quality without using headphones for monitoring. Do this when you overdub the sound of an electric instrument through the LINE IN jacks, for example. 1 Press the OVERDUB [º] key to start recording standby. 4 Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen. 5 Use the DATA wheel or CURSOR [§/¶] keys to select MEDIA, and press the ENTER key. 2 Press the F1 key to activate DIRECT MIX mode. After this, follow the same procedures as for ordinary overdubbing (OVERDUB). The MEDIA CD screen opens. 6 Use the CURSOR [§/¶] keys to select FINALIZE, and press the ENTER key. Finalizing a CD-R/RW so that it can be played in other CD players (BB-1000CD only) To play a CD-R/RW disc that was recorded with this unit on other devices, you must finalize the CD-R/RW disc.

The following explanation assumes that CD is selected as the playback and recording medium and that an unfinalized CD-R/RW is in the unit. 1 Confirm that the unit is stopped. 2 Press the HOME key to open the Home screen. 7 The following confirmation screen opens. Press the F1 key to start finalizing the disc. When finalization completes, the MEDIA CD screen reopens. 3 Press the CD key. The indicator above and to the left of the CD key lights.
