Manually Assigning Track
Numbers
It is possible to assign track numbers while
recording. While recording, press
RECORD.
The current track number is incremented by
one.
Setting the Recording Level
Play the source to be recorded, and press
DIGITAL REC LEVEL – or + to adjust the
recording level (± 6 dB). The loudest sound
should not exceed the 0 dB of the peak level
meter.
Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units
produce extremely unpleasant sounds when
distorted, and there is no “headroom” after
the 0 mark. When you record digitally from
a commercially-produced CD, set the digital
volume to 0 dB. This will maintain all the
dynamic range of the source CD without
clipping. Only boost the signal if the source
is exceptionally quiet.
Notes:
• Recording level is set to 0 dB when the
power is turned on.
• You can only change the recording level
when the CD recorder is in the stop
mode or when the CD recorder plays
the PLAYBACK tray.
Finalizing
As explained earlier, in order for a disc to
become a standard CD, it must have a Table
of Contents (TOC) written to it. This
process is known as finalizing. Once
finalized, CD-R discs are truly final. You
cannot record any more tracks on them. By
contrast, you can “unfinalize” CD-RW discs
and record more tracks on them.
1. Load an unfinalized (recordable) disc in
the RECORD/PLAYBACK tray.
NO TOC
appears if the disc is unfinalized.
2. Press
FINALIZE in the stop mode. To
cancel the finalizing process, press
D
.
3. Press
g
/
ENTER to start finalizing.
FINALIZE scrolls on the display.
When the operation is finished, the display
returns to the track/time display.
NO TOC
disappears.
Notes:
• During finalizing, never turn the power
off or unplug the power cord.
• Although finalized CD-R discs may be
replayed on ordinary CD players,
finalized CD-RW discs may not play on
ordinary CD players.
Erasing or Unfinalizing a CD-RW
If a CD-RW is finalized, you can unfinalize it
or erase all tracks on it. If a CD-RW is not
finalized, you can erase the last track on it or
erase all tracks on it. Remember that it is not
possible to perform any erase procedures on
a CD-R disc.
