Recording Precautions
When recording on a previously recorded disc
Make sure to add the new recording after the existing
one. You cannot record while overwriting existing
recordings.
Track numbers
You cannot edit track numbers after recordings.
When starting a recording from stop mode, the track
number is added automatically following on from the
track number of the last completed recording. When
starting a recording from pause mode, the track
numbers are automatically contiguous.
For how to add track numbers during recording, refer
to page 12 “Marking Track Numbers while Recording
(Track Marking).”
Sampling Rate Converter
A sampling rate converter is built into the CD recorder,
so you can convert all digital input signals to the CD
sampling frequency (44.1 kHz) for recording.
Consequently, you can also record DAT and satellite
broadcast digital signals, which have a different
sampling frequency.
Writing to PMA (Program Memory Area)
When recording to a CD-R/RW disc, immediately after
the x button is pressed, the recorded track number and
track time information is automatically recorded in the
program memory area on the disc. If writing to the
PMA is not performed correctly, the recorded data is
disabled, and the disc itself can no longer be used.
To make sure of writing to the PMA after completing
recording, do not turn OFF the power supply to the CD
recorder under the following conditions.
During recording.
When in pause mode after a recording.
After pressing the x button, while PMA Writing is
displayed. (Writing to the PMA takes approximately
5 seconds after recording has finished.)
Maximum Number of Tracks that can Be Recorded
on a Disc
Depending on the CD specifications, you can record a
maximum of 99 tracks on the CD-R/RW disc. Even if
there is still space to record more on the disc, you
cannot exceed 99 tracks. When the 99th track is being
recorded, you cannot pause recording by pressing the
X button. Stop the recording by pressing the x button.
Minimum Track Recording Time
You cannot record tracks less than 4 seconds long.
