Recording mode for system setups
Below is an introduction to the type of recordings
possible when the CDR-201A is connected to the R-
801A, C-701A, MD-101A, and K-501A components.
■ CD dubbing (digital) (see page 21)
Digitally record all tracks from a music CD to a CD-R
or CD-RW. When dubbing is completed, you can
automatically select the finalization mode. The
dubbing mode is selected at the EDIT menu.
Album mode: Only record the tracks that can be
completely recorded.
Fade-out mode: A fade-out is recorded at the end of
the final track that could not be completely recorded.
■ Single-track CD dubbing (digital)
(see page 22)
Record the track currently being played (or paused)
with the CD player with one touch. The dubbing
mode is the mode that is currently set; however, if
the album mode is set, tracks that cannot be fully
recorded will not be erased, but will be recorded
until the disc becomes full.
■ Synchronous recording
(see page 23)
When connected to a component system, the
operations given below are possible.
• Synchronous recording from the CD player to
the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)
• Synchronous recording from the MD recorder or tape
deck to the CDR-201A. (Analog recording only)
• Synchronous recording from the CDR-201A to an
MD recorder or tape deck. (Analog recording only)
Note:
For CD dubbing, single-track CD dubbing, and
synchronous recording, you must have the optical
digital cable from the C-701A connected to the
digital input 1 terminal of the CDR-201A. For more
details regarding system setup, refer to the
instruction manual for the R-801A.
Cautions during recording
In the following situations, recording is not
possible even if the o REC or CD DUBBING
button is pressed.
• The CD indicator is lit (a CD or finalized CD-R
has been inserted).
• The CD-RW and FINALIZE indicators are lit (a
finalized CD-RW has been inserted).
• The inserted disc is full and "Disc Full" is
displayed.
• The 99th track has been recorded and "Disc
Full" is displayed.
• The disc is not for audio use or when "Pro Disc"
is displayed.
Only the audio signals can be recorded
The CDR-201A is designed for recording audio
signals only and therefore only digital signals that are
audio signals are recorded. Other CD-ROM and
Dolby Digital data, and the like, will not be recorded.
Also, when recording from discs that have graphics
or text data, only the audio signals will be recorded.
The minimum track length is 4 seconds
For compact discs, the minimum track length is 4
seconds. Even if the e (stop) or g (pause) button is
pressed immediately after starting recording, a silent
4-second track will be recorded. Also, during that 4
seconds, you cannot resume recording or perform
another operation.
When an unrecordable signal in present
during the digital recording
"D.In Unlock" or "Cannot Copy" appears in the
display and the recording operation is suspended.
The operation will be resumed in response to any
recordable signals that may follow.
Operations
Do not turn off the CDR-201A during recording, finalizing, erasing, or while “PMA
Writing” is displayed.
If you accidentally do turn the power off, or if a power outage occurs, the data on the disc may be
rendered unreadable.
Do not shake or subject the CDR-201A to vibrations during recording, finalizing, erasing,
or while “PMA Writing” is displayed.
Doing so may cause the sound on the disc to skip or the data on the disc to become unreadable.
