Introduction
You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Your recorder offers several recording modes.
RECORD DISC 
- to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc
or a program simply by starting the source.
RECORD TRACK 
- to make an synchronized recording of a single track
simply by starting the source.
REC(ord) MANUAL
- to manually start a recording simply by pressing the
RECORD key.
MAKE CD 
- to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc
or a program simply by starting the source. Finalizing
will be done automatically (active for digital recordings).
For each recording purpose the most appropriate
recording mode is explained. Basically a recording session
consists of three steps:
- preparing (make all settings for your recording),
- recording (the actual recording starts) and
- finalizing your recording (making CDR(W) suitable for
playback on a standard cd-player).
Some remarks on recording
It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.
0
If the disc is a CDR disc and is already finalized, no
recording is possible.
0
If the disc is a CDRW disc and is already finalized, you must
unfinalize it first.
0
The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and
CDRWs.
0
CD text cannot be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the 
CD player.)
0
There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on
the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record
standby mode.
DISC FULL will then show on the display.
0
If the display indicates 
COPY PROTECT no digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.
0
The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows
digital recording under specific conditions:
- This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy
from a digital copy.
- Analog recording is always possible!
- The number of recordings to be made from the original
is unlimited.
0
A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.
Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.
Important: Use only discs with  CDR AUDIO only or
CDRW AUDIO only logo. Discs for use in a personal
computer’s CD-(re)writer cannot be used in an Audio
CD-recorder.
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a
regular CD player, it must be finalized.
Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,
- write CD text on a CDR(W).
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW
compatible CD players.
