• You cannot pause manually during synchro-
recording.
• When there is no sound from the player for 
more than 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.
• For longer recording, follow steps 1 to 3 o
“Recording for long times” (page 16) to select 
the recording mode, and then start the 
procedure of synchro-recording.
Notes
• Do not change the “SYNC-R” setting while 
recording. Recording may not be done 
properly.
• Even when there is no recorded 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 2 seconds 
or more during synchro-recording, a new track 
mark is automatically added at the point 
where the silent portion ends.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the 
connecting cord is not an optical cable.
• You cannot adjust the recording level 
manually during synchro-recording.
