ABOUT RECORDING
16
The CD recorder deck offers you 3 main functions:
– Recording from the internal CD changer and tuner or
from a selected external source
– Finalizing your CDR(W) discs and unfinalizing your
CDRW discs
– Erasing a CDRW disc
The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW
discs. Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.
For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You
can record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The
minimum of recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds.
Otherwise Does not fit is displayed and you cannot
enter the record standby mode.
Copyright protection
The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) prevents the
making of a digital copy from a digital copy. The system
allows making a digital recording from the original, however
in some countries this may require the authorization of
copyright holders.
When you try to record a copy protected material from an
external source, Copy Protect will be displayed. No
further digital recording is possible then.
When you try to record a copy protected material from the
internal CD changer no digital recording is possible, however the
CD recorder will automatically switch to analogue recording.
Recording CD text
If the original CD has CD Text, this text will be recorded
automatically, provided that the CD text is not copy protected.
In that case, recording of CD text will not be possible and
Text Protect will be displayed.
The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance
Direct Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording
of the source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording.
DLR will always become active, when you make normal
recordings in listen mode.
Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded
disc have a similar volume level. At all times the already
recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference
for the volume level of the following recordings. ALC is active,
when
ALC is shown.
Auto level control becomes active, when:
– COMPILE CD is being used,
– a disc, a track or a track edit is being high speed recorded
and the CDR(W) has recordings on it,
– a program (consisting from more than one disc) from the
CD changer is being high speed recorded, or
– CD™CD is being used and the CDR(W) has recordings
on it.
Auto level control will not become active, when:
– CD™CD is being used and the CDR(W) has no recordings
on it,
– making recordings from the FM tuner,
– making recordings from an external source, or
– making normal recordings in listen mode.
You can adjust the reference record level. This is also
possible when ALC is active. This feature can be used for
fading your recordings in or out.
1 Keep REC LEVEL on the set pressed to enable the rotary
control to adjust the record level.
2 Turn the rotary control to the left to adjust the desired
record level.
yThe actual record level (in dB) will be displayed.
• The record level is reset after the set has been switched to
standby.

DO NOT FORGET TO FINALIZE!
Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:
– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player or
– play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible
CD player and CD recorder.
