The two methods of recording

Digital

This method records the digital signals from CDs. Compared to analogue recording, this method makes it possible to make recordings of higher quality. Purchase an optical fiber cable (RP-CA2120 or RP-CA2220, sold separately) to record digitally.

Analogue

Use this method to make analogue recordings of digital material, CDs and MDs, and to record analogue sources such as the radio. Use the included line cord to make analogue recordings.

The recording modes

Normal

This method allows you to start and stop recording manually.

Synchronized

This method starts and stops recording at the same time as the source being record. Available with both digital and analogue recording.

One track synchronized

The first track on a CD is recorded and then the unit goes to recording standby. Recording starts again automatically when the first track on another CD is played. Available only when recording CDs digitally.

Note

This function only works with tracks numbered "1".

Monaural

This mode allows you to record approximately double the amount of material normally possible. (For example, it is possible to record about 148 minutes worth of material onto a 74 minute MD.) Available only when analogue recording.

Antes de grabar

Normal (sin exhibicion)

Track marks and track numbers

Like CDs, it is possible to select and play a track on an MD by selecting its track number. There are marks at the beginning of each track, called track marks, that make this possible. The period between each track mark is called a track.

Putting track marks on an MD (See page 28.)

Auto mark mode

The unit automatically decides where track marks are to be put.

Manual mark mode

You can manually put the track marks where you want them to go.

Time mark mode (3 MIN, 5 MIN, 10 MIN)

Track marks are put at a preselected distance from each other.

- When recording from CD

The track marks are put onto the MD as they are found on the CD. Each time a new track starts on the CD, the number of the tracks on the MD increases by one.

(Track marks may not be inserted accurately in some cases.)

- When recording from digital sources other than CDs

2 seconds of silence is determined as the division between tracks and a track mark is added.

To add track marks manually

See page 28.

Analogue recording

2 seconds of silence is determined as the division between tracks and a track mark is added.

To add track marks manually

See page 28.

Note

Track marks will not be added if the space between tracks is short or if there is noise in the space. Track marks may be added in error if there is a silent or especially quiet portion in a track. Use the editing functions after recording to add and remove track marks. (See page 48-56.)

Recording with a microphone

Add track marks manually or have the unit add the marks at selected intervals.

(See page 28.)

Making good recordings

Power the unit with the AC adaptor while recording. If you intend to use batteries, recharge the rechargeable battery fully and use a new dry cell battery.

• If the unit turns off while recording, or when "UTOC Writing" is on the display ("WRITE" on the remote control), the recording will not be correctly recorded onto the disc. A

• "DISC ERROR" may appear on the display if the unit turns off while "UTOC Writing" is on the display.

Grabación

Do not open the lid or shake the unit while recording

Be especially careful while "UTOC Writing" is on the display ("WRITE" on the remote control). If the unit is moved at this time, the recording may not be correctly recorded onto the disc. You can damage the unit or disc if you try to force open the lid.

Note

This unit has a sampling rate converter so recording from equipment (DAT deck, BS tuner, etc) with a different sampling frequency is possible.
- Insert the rechargeable battery when recording on dry cell batteries.

(For United Kingdom)

Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording pre-recorded tapes or discs or other published or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.

Some useful information about MDs

Types of MDs A

(a) Prerecorded MDs

These discs are for playback only.

Recording MDs

Apart from the time limitations, it is possible to record up to 254 tracks on an MD.

Care and storage B

Label MDs only as recommended. Extra labels and exposed adhesive can cause malfunctions.

Do not open the shutter. Close it immediately if it accidentally opens. Never touch the disc inside the MD cartridge.

Some useful information about MDs

Recording MDs

MDs are different to tapes

MDs give you control over how tracks are recorded and editing functions allow you to change the contents of an MD after recording. Unlike cassettes, it is not necessary to find an empty portion to record onto. All recordings start from the first available space. The MD fills up and when the disc is full, either because the time limit has been reached or 254 tracks have been recorded, recording is no longer possible. You can use the editing functions to erase and move your recordings around within the MD.

Limitations on digital recording

The serial copy management system (SCMS) prevents unlimited recording of digital material.

Digital recordings are of high quality, but to protect the rights of the producer of the original material, it is only possible to make one digital recording of a digital recording. This also applies if you record analogue material digitally. That digital recording can be recorded digitally once more, but is blocked after that.

Analogue recordings are otherwise unaffected.

Glossary of terms

TOC

Table of contents. Information stored on the MD about the tracks and times.

UTOC

User table of contents. This is information the user can edit, such as text and track positions.

The message "UTOC Writing" appears on the display after recording and editing.
