CDR1000—Owner’s Manual
Sync Recording from CD, MD, or DAT
In addition to audio data, COAXIAL (S/PDIF) format digital signals also transmit 
Track Number, Index Number, Start ID, and Skip ID information, which the CDR1000 
can use to start and stop recording and increment the track and index counters. This is 
convenient when recording material from a CD, MD, or DAT player. The CDR1000 fea-
tures two Sync Recording modes: One-track Sync Recording and All-track Sync 
Recording. 
In One-track Sync Recording mode, individual tracks can be recorded one at a time, 
with the CDR1000 starting recording automatically when a Track Number or Start ID 
is received, incrementing the index number as and when Index Numbers are received, 
and then stopping automatically when the next Track Number, Start ID, or Skip ID is 
received. When recording from MD, the CDR1000 starts recording automatically when 
it detects the start of the audio material, also MD does not support Index Numbers.
In All-track Sync Recording mode, an entire CD or MD, or several DAT tracks can be 
recorded, with the CDR1000 starting recording automatically when a Track Number or 
Start ID is received, incrementing the track and index numbers as and when Track and 
Index Numbers are received, and then stopping automatically after 20 seconds of no 
input signal.
CD and MD players transmit Track and Index Numbers as and when they occur on a 
disc. Technically speaking, the CDR1000 track number is incremented when the Index 
Number changes from 0 to 1, which indicated the start of a track, not the end of the pre-
vious track.
DAT players transmit Start and Skip IDs as and when they occur on a tape. Skip IDs are 
ignored in All-track Sync Recording mode, but cause the CDR1000 to stop when used 
with One-track Sync Recording. Since recording does not start instantaneously, when 
compiling a DAT source tape, position the Start IDs slightly before the beginning of 
each track to ensure that the first note is not cut off.
The CDR1000 starts recording when it receives a Track Number or Start ID from the 
source device (e.g., CD, MD, or DAT player). CD and MD players must be stopped or 
paused at the top of the track to be recorded, as Sync Recording cannot be started while 
the source device is playing. For DAT players, playback needs to be started from before 
the Start ID.
During Sync Recording, if no input signal is received for more than 20 seconds, record-
ing stops automatically.
AES/EBU digital signals do not transmit Track Number, Index Number, Start ID, and 
Skip ID information, so only the COAXIAL IN can be used for Sync Recording.
The Rec Mute function can be used with One-track Sync Recording, but not All-track 
Sync Recording. Fade In and Fade Out cannot be used with either mode.
The Auto Finalize function can be used to automatically finalize discs when Sync 
Recording stops.
