Example: To record the CD loaded in tray DISC1.
• Only the selected CD is recorded.

• The disc is read if required.

• When a blank disc is in the CDR tray, “UPDATE OPC” is

shown following “DISC DUBBING”.

When “ADD FINALIZE?” is shown in the information 
window:
• No response (no input) assumes that finalization is to be per-

formed, or you can press the SET button (main unit/remote con-
trol) to confirm that finalization is to be done. Press the
CANCEL button (main unit/remote control) to keep the disc
unfinalized.

Note
• This message will be shown if the menu FINALIZE function

setting is “ON”. The default setting is “OFF”.

The 3-CD changer and CDR start simultaneously. (This is 
called synchronized recording)
• Recording starts from the first track of the CD.

• When a digital CD is recorded, its signals are recorded in their

original form. Track marks are inserted automatically where
one track changes to the next and track numbers change accord-
ingly.

When recorded without canceling “ADD FINALIZE?”
“FINALIZE” is shown in the information window after recording
is stopped and finalization is automatically performed.

Checking a track number during recording
Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.

To stop the recording at any time
Press the CDR or CD Control STOP 

s button on the main unit or

the 

s (stop) button on the remote control. “STOP DUBBING”

flashes in the information display, and the unit stops recording.

Notes
• There is no need to adjust the recording level when recording a

digital signal. 

• If the source CD being recorded from the 3-CD changer is itself

a first-generation digital copy, digital recording cannot be per-
formed. When this occurs, the recording type will switch from
digital to analog automatically.

• This type of recording cannot be started during CD playback. It

must start from the beginning of the first track of the CD.

• When the CD REC button is pressed, the function is automati-

cally switched to CD. This means that when the CD to be
recorded has been selected, recording can proceed straightaway.

• Upon completion of recording, “STOP DUBBING” flashes in

the information display. Always wait for the “STOP DUB-
BING” message to be cleared before proceeding with the next
operation.

• When you try to eject the disc from the CDR tray, “FINAL-

IZE?” is shown in the information display. To finalize the disc,
press either the SET or FINALIZE button (main unit/remote
control). To skip the finalization process, press the OPEN/
CLOSE 

0 button one more time or the CANCEL button (main

unit/remote control).

• Depending on the disc, the entire CD may not be recorded. In

such a case, use the 1 Disc Dubbing feature (see page 28) to
record.
