[. . . ] (See page 52 for more information on finalizing CD-Rs. ) CD-rewritable discs can be finalized in the same way as CD-R discs, but even after finalization, the disc can still be erased and used over again. Remember that CD-RW discs can only be played on players that are specifically designed to play CD-RW discs: most home CD players will not play these discs, even after the disc has been finalized. (See page 52 for more information on finalizing CD-RWs. ) Points to Remember when Recording Recording CDs This recorder is designed to let you make extremely high quality digital recordings onto recordable compact discs. For flexibility, you can use either rewritable discs (CDRW) or write-once discs (CD-R). For more general information on the discs you can and can't use with this recorder, see About CD, CD-R and CD-RW Discs on page 31-32. The overview on these pages gives you an idea of what's possible, and also provides guidance on what to avoid and things to be careful of when recording. Digital recording from DAT If you're recording a DAT tape that was recorded using the DAT machine's auto ID function, the IDs on the tape are slightly after the beginning of the actual recording. This can cause problems for the CD recorder: · The start of the track may not be recorded. · The track number will be recorded on the disc after the start of the track · The beginning of the next track on the DAT is unintentionally recorded To avoid these problems, we recommend recording start IDs on the DAT manually, if possible. Refer to the instructions for your DAT recorder for more information. You might also encounter problems if you try to synchrorecord all tracks from a DAT that is set to program play. If you want to record a DAT in program play mode, use the 1-track synchro recording mode--see page 39 for how to do this. Digital recording restrictions This unit has been designed exclusively for recording and playback of audio discs--you can't record other CD formats, such as computer CD-ROMs or Dolby Digital (AC-3).
