you can omit operating both the recorder 
and the sound source, and easily make 
digital recording. You can make synchro-
recording only when the optical cable is 
connected.

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

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.
