Minimum Recording Rime for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2 creates music CDs from the songs you
record, it does not allow you to record a track that is less
than four seconds long.
Pressing [Stop ( )] or [Pause ( )] will not stop
recording if less than four seconds have passed since you
began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track
number ( Page 55) in such cases.
In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable
Further recording is not possible once you have reached
the maximum recordable time or the maximum number of
songs that can be recorded.
If there is no more recordable time, the message “CF Card
Full” or “CD Disc Full” will appear.
If the maximum number of tracks have already been
recorded, the message of “CF Track Full” or “CD Track
Full” will appear.
This message goes away when you press [ENTER].
If you’re using a CF card or a CD-RW disc, you can erase
unwanted songs ( Page 58, 64) and then continue
recording.
Recording Modes and Maximum Recording Times
When using a CF card for recording, you can select one of
three recording modes as appropriate for the desired
recording time and audio quality ( Page 36).
The following table shows the maximum recording times
possible with each recording mode on various capacities
of media.
The maximum times given above are approximate. The
actual time may be slightly less depending on how tracks
have been edited.
You can view the remaining time in the display.
Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
Tracks using differing recording modes may be recorded
on a single CF card.
Recording Time for One Track (One Song)
The maximum length of one track is three hours.
If a recording exceeds three hours, a new track division
will automatically be created.
The Number of Recording Tracks for One CF Card
A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on one CF card.
Maximum Recording Times
The maximum times given above are approximate. The
actual time may be slightly less depending on the number
of tracks that are recorded.
You can view the remaining time in the display.

Types of Discs that You Can Record
•“Blank disc” refers to an “empty” disc on which nothing
has been recorded or stored.
The Number of Recording Tracks on One
CD-R/RW Disc
A maximum of 99/98 tracks can be recorded on one
CD-R/RW disc respectively.
Recorded Songs
When you record on a CD-R/RW disc, a blank space of
two seconds will automatically be added at the end of each
track (song).
Finalization ( Page 50)
“Finalization” is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/
RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD
player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been
finalized, it can be played back as a music CD in a CD
player that supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.
No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that
has been finalized.
If you’re using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the
finalization and add additional material. Page 65,
