How to Record continued
Select record mode
The record mode (REC mode) sets the CDR300 to
expect and accept certain inputs, outputs, and other
conditions such as the settings of AUTO TRACK and
AUTO STOP, and the easy availability of some adjust-
ments such as REC LEVEL.
The following descriptions will help you select the REC
mode that suits your needs.
RECORD
You can record using the INT mic, MIC/LINE
inputs and/or AUX inputs or DIGITAL input.
This mode can be used to record live meetings,
conferences, concerts, seminars, and also for
mastering in the project studio.
CD recordings must first be finalized in order to
play back on other CD drives.
MINUTE TRACK
In this mode tracks are automatically written on
the disc every minute. Minute Track recording
allows you to quickly locate sections of your
recording because of the relationship between
track numbers and time. For example, during
playback select track 30 to play the 30th minute of
recording. To go directly to the beginning of the
10th minute select track 10, etc.
Track 1 = 1st minute of recording
Track 2 = 2nd minute of recording
Track 3 = 3rd minute of recording
And so on . . .
Note: When recording press DISP to indicate
remaining disc time.
The disc must be finalized in order to play on other
CD drives.
SYNC RECORD
This REC mode is used to automatically engage
the recording process from an outside digital or
analog source including DAT, CD, minidisk,
cassette tape or LP for example.
The disc must be finalized in order to play on other
CD drives.
SYNC REC+FINAL
Use this REC mode to automatically start the
recording process from an outside digital or analog
source including DAT, CD, minidisk, cassette tape
or LP for example.
The disc will automatically be finalized at the end
of the recording session. The finalization takes
approximately 2 minutes.
Recording tips
• Be sure to set the LINE MIC INT, INPUT ANALOG/
DIGITAL, MIC/LINE ATT, and SPEAKER switches
to the appropriate setting before entering a REC
mode.
• Consider using a CD-RW (re-writable) disc. Then
only the tracks that you like can be duplicated to a
CD-R (write once) disc.
• To record MONO (one microphone or instrument
to both channels of the CD recorder) switch the
L/R L+R switch to L+R.
• Before recording using AUX inputs only always
lower the MIC/LINE level controls and select LINE
on the MIC/LINE/INT switch. This will improve the
quality of your recording by reducing unwanted
white noise resulting from an open, unused input
jack.
• In order to avoid feedback during analog recording
with any microphone, switch the SPEAKER to
OFF or lower the level of the PHONE/SPEAKER
LEVEL control. Lower the LINE OUT level control
if you are connected to an external amplifier.
• Note the default conditions of AUTO TRACK and
AUTO STOP outlined in this manual (see below).
Each recording mode has a default setup of these
functions that can be altered to fit the conditions of
your specific application.
• You can use the supplied infrared remote control
to write your own track ID's during the recording
process by pushing the TR INC button.
• When the remaining record time on the CD-R or
CD-RW becomes 5 minutes, the message DISC
END will be displayed, and then the display will
indicate the remaining time both in minutes and
seconds as well as graphically.
• When DISC FULL is displayed there is no more
available recording time on the disc.
