4 – Recording—Frequency conversion
20 TASCAM CD-RW4U
Frequency conversion
The sampling frequency for CDs is 44.1 kHz. The
CD-RW4U will always record (and play back) CDs
at this frequency.
However, if recording through a digital connection
and the source has been recorded at a frequency other
than 44.1 kHz, or is being played back at a non-stan-
dard speed using a varispeed unit (more than 0.02%
away from 44.1kHz), the CD-RW4U’s internal fre-
quency converter will automatically convert the
incoming frequency to 44.1 kHz.
NOTE
If an attempt is made to record from a digitally-connected
source at a different frequency, the error message
Not
Fs44.1k!
is displayed.
Level adjustment
• The analog signals received at the LINE IN jacks
are controlled with the INPUT LEVEL control C.
• Digital signal levels as well as the level of analog
signals once they have passed through the
INPUT
LEVEL
control are adjusted in the following way:
1 Press the
RECORD key (5 or E) to place
the unit in record ready mode.
2 Repeatedly press the
MENU key (E or 7)
until the display shows
VOLUME
XXXdB
where XXX is the current setting.
3 Use the
MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP
keys
I to adjust the input volume between
-60dB and +18db (relative to the origi-
nal input level). There is also a
---- set-
ting which represents a complete signal cut.
NOTE
The unit remembers the volume menu settings for both
analog and digital inputs. These are independent of each
other, and the volume setting changes to the remembered
values automatically when the input source is changed.
Time display while recording
While a recordable disc is being played back, the
four time display modes available in normal play-
back as described in “Time display modes” on
page 16:
TOTAL
,
TOTAL REMAIN
, track
REMAIN
and
elapsed track time.
However, during recording there are fewer options
available (obviously, the unit cannot see into the
future and know how much time remains of the track
which is being currently recorded!).
When in record or record ready mode, repeated
presses of the
DISPLAY key 6 cycle between dis-
playing the remaining time left for recording on the
disc (
TOTAL REMAIN
) and the elapsed time of the track
currently being recorded (no indicator lit).
When a recordable disc is stopped, the following two
options are available:
TOTAL
(the total time recorded
so far on the disc) and
TOTAL REMAIN
(the total time
available on the disc for further recording).
