4 Getting Started
Recording one
track from a
source
If you want to record just a single
track, or a few selected tracks,
from a digital (CD, MD, DCC or
DAT) or an analog source, the
recorder can start and stop
automatically. With digital
recording, there's no need to
worry about recording levels—
you'll get a perfect digital copy of
the original (if you want to change
the digital recording level, see
page 23).
If you are recording from a noisy
analog source, such as an old
recording, or from a source with
long quiet sections, the recorder
may not recognize the end of the
track. In this case, we
recommend using manual
recording (see page 22).
1 Load a CD-R or CD-RW
disc.
Check the display to make sure
that there's enough space on the
disc for what you want to record.
2 Press INPUT SELECTOR to
choose an input.
Pressing INPUT SELECTOR
repeatedly switches the active
input:
Analog - Optical - Coaxial
The recorder's display indicates
the current input.
3 Make sure that the source
is not playing, then press
SYNCHRO.
Press SYNCHRO repeatedly to
change the recoding mode, and
to select SYNC-1.

4 Play the source.
The recorder starts recording
automatically.
5 The recorder pauses
recording after recording
one track.
If you're recording a CD or MD,
recording pauses automatically
when the track changes or there
is more than five seconds of
silence on the source.
If you're recording from DCC or
DAT tape, recording pauses when
the recorder encounters a new
start ID or there is more than five
seconds of silence on the source.
(See also
Digital recording from
DAT
on page 18.)
If you're recording from analog,
recording pauses automatically
when there is more than two
seconds of silence on the source.

To record further tracks, simply
repeat steps 3 to 5.
After pressing 7, the display
shows

the track information to the disc.
Note: If you find that synchro
recording does not seem to work,
see the troubleshooting section
on pages 40–42 for possible
remedies.
