Unlike conventional analog tape recorders,
the unit does not require level setting when
recordings are made from a digital source.
Although the Level Indicator will operate,
this is only informative and the level may not
be changed or adjusted. However, when
you are making a recording from an external
analog source such as a cassette recorder
or the analog output of a receiver or
preamp, you should adjust the input levels
using the RECORD-LEVEL Control. Adjust
the levels so that the blue segments of the
display are almost all lit, and the red
segments flash only occasionally. If the red
segments are constantly lit, the recording
will be distorted and produce unacceptable
quality.
To stop the recording, press the
STOP[ ] button. The recording will
automatically stop if it takes more space
than is available on the CD-R/RW disc. A
DISC FULL message will appear to remind
you that a new disc is needed.
At the end of a recording, a BUSY message
and an UPDATE message will appear
briefly, and the unit will return to normal
operation. Remember to Finalize the disc
after recording so that it may be used in
other players.

Finalizing CD-R and CD-RW Discs

Finalizing is a simple process that
completes the recording of a disc so that it
may be used in other players. When a
recording is finished, a disc must be
Finalized. Once that is done, a CD-R disc
may not be changed or added to.
CD-RW discs are "locked" once they are
Finalized, and they must be Unfinalized to
permit additional recording or erasure.

1. To Finalize a disc, place it in the
Record Drawer.
2. Once the disc's Table of Contents
information has been read and the
OPC process has been completed,
press the FINALIZE button and note
that the FINALIZE Indicator will begin to
flash.
3. Within three seconds, press the
SELECT button and note that the
FINALIZE Indicator will stop flashing.
4. The Finalization process will take
between 60 and 90 seconds, depending
on the length of material recorded on the
disc. During the Finalization process the
Record Deck will not accept any
operating commands.
5. When the Finalization process is
complete the FINALIZE Indicator will
go out, and the R/RW Indicator will also
go out as an indication that the disc is
now playable on other players. The CD
Indicator will remain lit.
Unfinalizing and Erasing CD-RW
Discs
CD-RW discs are unique in that they are
both recordable and rewritable. This means
that you may use them over again like a
cassette tape. However, the process of
reusing a CD-RW disc is slightly different
from that used with tapes.

Unfinalizing a CD-RW Disc

To keep the material that is already
recorded on a CD-RW disc but to add an
additional track and erase single tracks, you
must first unfinalize the disc.
1. Place the CD-RW disc in the Record
Deck and wait until the Table of Contents
data has been read.
2. Press the ERASE button twice and

check to make sure that the ERASE
Indicator flashes and the word TOC
appears in the Record Deck Information
Display.
3. Within three seconds, press the
SELECT button to start the process.
The ERASE Indicator will remain lit and
stop flashing, and the Information Display
will switch to OPC and then back to TOC.
4. When the process is finished, the
ERASE Indicator will go out, and the
display will return to normal. The disc
is now ready to have single tracks
removed or additional tracks added.

Erasing an Entire CD-RW Disc

Erasing the entire contents of a disc is
simple, and it does not matter if the disc has
been finalized or not.
1. To erase the disc, press the ERASE
button twice if the disc has NOT been
finalized and once if it has been finalized,
so that the word DISC appears in the
Information Display and the ERASE
Indicator flashes.
2. To start the erasure, press the
SELECT button and note that the
ERASE Indicator will stop flashing.
3. The erasure process takes about a
minute, and it is complete when the
Information Display resets to 00 00:00
and the ERASE Indicator goes out. The
disc is now totally erased and may be
reused.

Erasing a Single Track

The individual tracks on a CD-RW disc may
be erased one at a time, starting with the
last track on the disc, or you may erase
more than one track. Note that before
individual tracks may be erased the disc
must be unfinalized. If the disc is finalized,
follow the instructions above for unfinalizing
before proceeding with these steps.
