To start/stop recording 
in sync with the sound 
source 
(Synchro-recording)
During synchro-recording, the starting 
and stopping of recording occurs are 
synchronized with the sound source. This 
simplifies digital recordings (e.g., from a 
CD player) since the need to operate the 
recorder or the sound source is 
eliminated. Synchro-recording is only 
possible with the optical cable connected.

Make connections.
Use the appropriate optical cable to 
suit the source equipment. For details, 
see “Optional accessories” (page 83).

While the recorder is stopped, enter 
the menu and select “REC Set” - 
“SYNC REC” - “SYNC On”.

When there is no sound from the player for 
about 3 seconds during synchro-recording, the 
recorder goes into the standby mode 
automatically. When the sound comes from the 
player again, the recorder resumes synchro-
recording. If the recorder is kept in the standby 
mode for 5 minutes or longer, the recorder stops 
automatically.
The pause function cannot be turned on or off 
manually during synchro-recording.
Do not switch the “SYNC REC
 setting while 
recording. Recording may not be done 
properly.
Even when there is no sound on the sound 
source, there may be cases when recording 
does not pause automatically during synchro-
recording due to the noise level emitted from 
the sound source.
If a silent portion is encountered for 
approximately 2 seconds during synchro-
recording from a sound source other than a 
CD or an MD, a new track mark is 
automatically added at the point where the 
silent portion ends.
