tion, press the Stop Button (vfor either
deck. DO NOT turn off power without first stopping the
recording. An intentional or inadvertent loss of power
may render the recording disc permanently unusable
because the CDR 26 will not have had an opportunity
to update the disc with the track information.
Step Seven: As with all recorded CD-R/CD-RW
discs, the disc must be finalized before it can be
played in other machines. See page 21 for instructions
on disc finalization.
Notes on Dubbing:
To dub just a single track: After you have inserted
the source disc into the Play Deck Drawer 3,
use the
Previous or Next Buttons ˘¸fz
to select the desired track. (When using the remote,
remember to first select the play deck by pressing
the
Play Deck (CDP) Select Button d.) You
may then select a dub speed, and press the
Dubbing Button 9l followed by the Play/
Select Buttons
Ójto make the dub.
To dub a compilation of tracks from one or
more CDs:
Create a programmed playlist before
pressing the
Play/Select Button Ójto
start the dub. Instructions for creating a program list
may be found on page 18. If you will be combining
tracks from more than one CD, keep in mind that
you may only dub tracks from one CD at a time,
although you may switch source CDs as many times
as needed, so long as the total time does not
exceed the recording time available on the disc in
the
Record Deck %.
NOTE: Dubs containing program lists may be made
at either the x1 or x2 speed. If you attempt to make
a programmed dub at the x4 speed, the unit will
automatically select the x2 speed.
The Pause buttons do not operate while a dub is in
progress.
Tracks will be added automatically to mirror the
track structure of the original disc.
The Total Time indication of the recorded CD may
vary slightly from the original due to variations in the
spin speed of each drive, but this is normal. No
information has been lost in the recording process.
If the original disc being dubbed is a digital copy or
if it contains copy-prohibit signals, the unit will auto-
matically make an analog copy.
CD Sync Recording
CD Sync (Synchronous) recording allows you to make
an automatic digital recording from an external CD
player or MiniDisc (MD) player. During CD Sync
recording, the recording starts as soon as the CDR 26
detects that the source has started play, and tracks are
added automatically.
To make a CD Sync recording:
Step One: Make certain your playback source is
selected and cued to the correct starting point.
Step Two:
Selecting a Digital Input
Select the appropriate digital input by pressing the
Input Select Button t until the desired
COAXIAL FRONT
,
COAXIAL REAR
,
OPTICAL FRONT
or OPTICAL REAR
indication appears in the Information Display ı
and the appropriate Digital Indicator AB lights.
When one of the
Front-Panel Digital Inputs ^&
has been selected, the Front-Panel Input Indicator
D will also light. CD Sync recordings may not be
made from an analog input.
Step Three: Make certain that there is a fresh disc in
the record drawer for the recording.
Step Four: Select the type of recording to be made:
To record only the first track from the source player,
press the
CD Sync Button 8u once so that
1 TRK appears in the record deck’s Information
Display Y.
To record the entire disc or tape, press the CD
Sync Button
8u twice so that ALL appears
in the record deck’s
Information Display Y.
The
Sync Indicator E will light and the Record
Indicator
P will flash.
When the desired mode has been selected, start the
playback from the source machine. The CDR 26 will
automatically recognize the incoming digital data and
begin recording. If the source material is a CD, the
track numbering from the original disc will be carried
over to the dub. If the playback source is NOT a CD,
you will have to increment the tracks manually (see
below).
The recording will continue until the CDR 26 senses
that the playback is finished when there is no incoming
signal for more than three seconds. At that point the
recording will stop. You may also stop the recording at
any time by pressing the
Record Deck Stop Button
(v. When there are only four seconds remaining
on a blank disc, the
DISC FULL message will
appear in the
Information Display Y. When you
see this message, you will need to stop the recording
process and, when a CD-R is being recorded, insert
a new blank disc or, when a CD-RW is in use, either
use a new disc or erase existing tracks following the
instructions on page 21.
Step Five: After the recording is complete, the unit
will return to normal operation. Remember to finalize
the recorded disc so that it may be used in other
machines (see page 21).
Recording From an External Source
To record from an external source:
Step One: Place a CD-R or CD-RW audio disc in the
Record Deck %.
Step Two:
Selecting a Digital or Analog Input
Select the input to be used by pressing the Input
Select Button
t. Pressing the button will
cycle between the input choices, which will be shown
in the
Information Display Y as
COAXIAL
FRONT
,
COAXIAL REAR
,
OPTICAL
FRONT
, OPTICAL REAR or ANALOG.
In addition, the
Digital Indicators AB will light
when one of the coax or optical inputs is selected, and
the
Analog Indicator C will light when the analog
inputs are selected.
When a digital input has been selected, the connec-
tion may be made to either the rear-panel
Coax or
Optical Digital Input ¢∞ or the front-panel Coax
or Optical Digital Input ^&. When one of the
Front-Panel Digital Inputs ^& has been selected,
the Front-Panel Input Indicator D will also light.
CD Sync recordings may not be made from an
analog input.
Step Three:
Track Incrementing
Press the Auto/Manual Button m to select how
tracks will be numbered on the recorded disc.
• The Manual mode is indicated by the
Manual
Indicator
X being lit. In that mode, when record-
ing from either digital or analog recordings, you must
add track
numbers manually by pressing the Track
Increment
Button !n when you wish to
increase the track number. This mode is recom-
mended for recordings made from analog sources.
The default Auto mode will add track numbers auto-
matically,
in one of two ways. When track data is
present on a digital recording, it will be carried over
to the new copy disc. Thus, when the CD being
played moves from one track to the next track, the
copy disc will also increase the track number by
one. Activate
the Auto mode by pressing the
Auto/Manual
Button m once and note that the
Manual Indicator X will go out.
In the Auto mode, when recording from an analog
source or a digital source with no track data, the
track number will be increased when the CDR 26
receives silence for three seconds. After five sec-
onds of silence, the recording will stop. To activate
the Auto mode, press the
Auto/Manual Button
m once and note that the Manual Indicator X
will go out.
