RECORDING
Remarks about recording
You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a CD-RW disc for
your first try. The three ways to make recordings are
described below:
- Digital unsynchronized
- Digital synchronized
- Analogue
• The recording procedure is the same for CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• If the disc is a CD-RW and is already finalized you must
unfinalize it first (page 15).
• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will
automatically search for the end of the last track, so that
you can start recording from there.
• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on
the disc, or you will not be able to activate the record
standby mode.
• If the display indicates
COPY PROHIBIT
can be made of the source material. Recording will not
start or will stop after 4 seconds.
• The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only
allows digital recording under specific conditions:
- It is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital
copy.
- Analogue recording is always possible!
- The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.
• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. The
minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.
• Digital recordings can be made from CDs (or other sources
with an output Sample Frequency of 44.1 kHz +/- 100 ppm)
via the digital input.
Important:
If you want to play the recorded CD-R disc on a regular
CD player, it must be finalized first. See finalizing discs
(p.15).
Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW compatible
CD players.
