[. . . ] Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record. 3 Make sure that the source is not playing, then press SYNCHRO three times. Synchro recording won't work if the source is already playing!The recorder goes into all-sync record pause and the SYNC and FINALIZE indicators start to blink. The display shows all-track sync with finalization, with the SYNC and FINALIZE indicators blinking to show that recording can start. Note: If you want to record CD text information as well, press NAME after pressing SYNCHRO. If you press SYNCHRO during recording, the recorder will finish recording without finalizing the CD-R. After recording all tracks on the source, the recorder starts finalizing the disc. After the recorder encounters about five seconds of continuous silence, it assumes the end of the source has been reached and goes into all-sync record-pause. be careful: If the recorder detects another signal or start ID (DAT or DCC) it will start recording again!If the recorder detects no signal for one minute, finalization starts (no more recording is possible after this so make sure that there aren't any spaces of more than one minute during the source you're recording). see Automatically numbering tracks on page 54 to set the silence threshold. Finalization takes about two minutes, during which time none of the buttons are operative. Never turn the power off during finalization!However, if no signal has been detected within five seconds, the recorder pauses recording and will not finalize the disc--see Digital signal interruptions on page 29. Note: If you find that synchro recording does not seem to work, see the troubleshooting section on pages 64­66 for possible remedies. Use the manual recording method with a source where syncho recording is not suitable. For example, if you are recording from either radio, or a digital satellite, synchro recording is not possible since there are no track numbers or start IDs to signal the start and end points of the recording. Manual recording is also useful with a noisy analog source, such as a vinyl record, or from a source with long quiet sections, where the recorder may not recognize the end of tracks. Check the display to make sure that there's enough space on the disc for what you want to record. ) Start playing the source to check it's recordable. With a digital source, if the source is copyprotected using SCMS, the message Can't COPY appears. [. . . ] Load a CD-R or CD-RW disc that is designated as being for consumer use. If you're recording from a portable CD player, etc. If none of the above solves the problem, use manual digital recording to record. Digital synchro-recording will not work when recording from the following devices: · CD players whose digital output does not include a sub-signal · Portable CD, MD or DVD players which do not output a digital signal when stopped.
