Recording on a CD-R/CD-RW
Before You Start Recording
Before you start, remember...
• Perform recording onto a CD-R AUDIO or CD-RW AUDIO
disc (see page 3).
• When you record onto a partially recorded unfinalized CD-R
or CD-RW, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The
recording starts from the point following the last recorded
track of the disc.
For CD-RW only: If you want to record on such a CD-RW
from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see
“Erasing all tracks (only for CD-RW)—Disc Erase” on page
36). (You cannot erase the contents recorded on a CD-R.)
• You can record up to 99 tracks on a CD-R or CD-RW. When
the data recordable memory area of a CD-R or CD-RW
becomes full while recording, recording will stop
automatically.
• If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory
Area) of the disc is recorded fully, recording cannot be
performed on this disc even though there are still unused
memory spaces on it.
• Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a
test recording on a CD-RW.
• You cannot perform digital-recording from the digitally
recorded CD-R or CD-RW because only the first generation
digital copy is allowed; This is to protect copyrights (see
page 42).
• CD Recorder automatically selects appropriate recording—either
digital or analog—during CD Synchronized Recording.
When digital source is selected as the playback sound, it will be
recorded digitally if it is a first-generation digital copy (see page 42).
If not, CD Recorder selects analog recording.
• MP3 files cannot be recorded on this CD Recorder. If you are going
to record MP3 files on CD Recorder, “CANNOT REC” appears on
the display.
• Before recording, finalizing, or adding track skip marks, make sure
that all the disc trays are closed. You cannot open any disc tray
while these operations are done.

Connecting a microphone
You can record your voice through MIC jack on the unit.
When using a microphone, connect a microphone with a
standard 6.3 mm plug.
Finalization
This is the final process in recording on a CD-R or CD-RW.
“Finalizing a disc” means writing the TOC (Table of Contents)
on the recorded disc.
Only after this process is completed, a recorded CD-R or
CD-RW can be played back on a CD player compatible with
CD-R/CD-RW. It is also recommended to finalize a disc
before playing back on this 3-CD Changer.
CD-R : You cannot add any track after finalizing.
CD-RW : You can add tracks after finalizing by unfinalizing
the disc (see page 34).
About track-marking
Whenever you turn on the unit, auto track-marking is activated.
(The AUTO TRACK indicator lights up on the display.)
When auto track-marking is activated
•
Recording from 3-CD Changer (CD DIGITAL, CD ANALOG):
Track marks are recorded automatically at the points where
the tracks change.
•
Recording from an external component connected to the
LINE IN and MIC jacks (LINE IN, MIC IN, CD+LINE MIX,
CD+MIC MIX, LINE+MIC MIX):
If there is a blank of 4 seconds or more, CD Recorder will
consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and
consequently put a track mark.
• Recording through the DIGITAL IN terminals (OPTICAL IN,
COAXIAL IN):
—If the playback source is an MD recorder, CD player or
DAT deck, they are recorded automatically at the points
where the tracks change.
—If the playback source is other than above, this unit
functions in the same way for recording an analog
source.
To cancel auto track-marking and use manual track-marking,
see “Recording track marks manually” on page 34.
Microphone (not supplied)
After connecting, turn on the microphone if it has the ON/OFF switch.
