Notes on Recording
• Do not use CD-R or CD-RW discs with dust and/or scratches on

the surface as this may cause the recording to sound rough and
may cause skipping when played backed. It may even cause the
unit to malfunction.

• When using a recording function (one of the recording indica-

tors in the display window is illuminated), do not subject the
unit to any shock or vibration.

• Before recording on a CD-R disc, it is recommended to make a

sample recording on a CD-RW disc.

• If the source CD being recorded from the 3-CD changer is itself

a first-generation digital copy, digital recording cannot be per-
formed. When this occurs, the recording type will switch from
digital to analog automatically.

- Discs not manufactured for holding audio data (such as discs for 
   standard computer use) cannot be recorded using this CDR.
- Discs with a format other than CD-DA (Compact Disc-Digital
Audio) cannot be recorded.
- The recording of discs over 80 minutes in length is not supported. 
- Multi-session discs cannot be recorded.

The following types of recording are possible with this unit.

Manual recording (See page 24)
Manually control the recording source used and the tracks you

the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL terminal or COAXIAL terminal)

Synchronized recording from external sources 
(See page 33)
Start recording from an external source as soon as the CDR detects
the signal being input. (High-speed recording is not possible.)

Mixed input recording (See page 34)
Simultaneously record the inputs from two analog sources.
(Recording level and mixing balance can be adjusted manually.) 

Automatically finalize at the end of a recording onto a CD-R disc
when recording the sound from the 3-CD changer using the CD
REC button. The Add Finalize feature is disabled at the time of
purchase. This feature can also be set to enable finalization at the
end of a recording.

Place the unit in the stop mode and follow the steps below.

• “TRACK ERASE” is shown in the information display.

Finalization will be performed upon completion of a recording
with the CD REC button.
-  To disable the Add Finalize feature, follow the steps 1 through 3

in the above procedure and select “OFF” in step 4.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording pre-recorded

infringe copyright laws.
