Manually Recording a Digital Source
If you are recording from a digital source other than
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
—digital satellite, for example—synchro recording is
not possible since there are no track numbers or start
ID
s to signal the start and end points of the recording. For these
sources, use the manual recording method described here.
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 one of the
digital inputs.
Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:
ANA (Analog) - OPT (Optical) - COA (Coaxial)
The recorder's display indicates the current input.
3
Press RECORD ¶ ( ¶ REC on the remote control).
The recorder goes into record-pause mode.
4
Start playing the source to check it’s recordable.
If the recorder does not recognize the digital format, or the source is
copy-protected using
SCMS
, the message CAN NOT REC or CAN NOT COPY
appears. In either case, you won't be able to record digitally—use the
analog inputs instead (see
Recording an Analog Source
on page 25).
If necessary, set the recording level (see the following page).
If the signal appears
OK
, stop the source.
5
Check that the time display reads 00:00, then press
8 (pause) or 3 (play) to start recording.
6
Restart playback of the source material.
If the AUTO TRACK indicator is lit in the display then the recorder will start
a new track each time it detects a signal after at least two seconds of
continuous silence. (To switch off auto track numbering see page 30.)
7
When you're done, press 7 (stop).
❖ After pressing 7 (stop), the display shows PMA REC while it records
the track information to the disc.
