About mastering
By installing a CD-RW drive in the AW4416 (or connecting an external CD-RW
drive to the SCSI connector), you can write the audio data of the stereo track
(included in each song) onto CD-R/RW media in CD-DA format. This function is
called “mastering.” The CD-R/RW media to which the data is written can be
played back on the internal CD-RW drive or on conventional CD players in the
same way as an audio CD.

Some CD players and CD-ROM drives which do not support CD-R/RW may be
unable to play back audio data that was written on CD-R/RW media.

Stereo tracks that can be mastered
To master a song, you will select the desired stereo track from the stereo track
included in each song on the internal hard disk, and write it to a track on the CD-
R/RW media. However, only stereo tracks (more than four seconds) from songs
recorded as 16 bit/24 bit and a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency can be mastered.

• Mastering cannot be performed from the stereo track of a song whose sam-
pling frequency is 48 kHz.
• When mastering is performed from a 24 bit/44.1 kHz stereo track, the lower
8 bits will be discarded when the data is written, converting it into 16 bit/
44.1 kHz format.
