Recording The Toc; Track Start; Rehearsing An Audio Recording - Yamaha YPDR601 Operating Manual

6.2.1 Recording the TOC

Set the TOC PRE/AFTER switch on the rear panel of the controller to "PRE", and
the 10/30 switch beside it to either "1 OS" or "30S" (the track length in seconds).
Load the disc into the main unit, as described in "Playback of previously-record­
ed CDs" on page 21.
When the DISC indicator on the main unit has stopped flashing, and the STOP
key on the controller has lit, press the STDBY (standby) key, which will start
flashing. When the laser writing circuit is ready to record data, the STDBY key
will light steadily.
The display will show "0000 10" or "0000 30" (depending on the track length
selected).
Press the TOC and REC keys together. This will start the TOC writing process.
The REC MUTE, TOC, REC and PLAY keys will all light, and the RECORD indi­
cator on the main unit will light.
The controller display will show the track and index numbers as they are writ­
ten. The TOC writing process will take about two minutes.
Once the TOC has been written, the disc is "initialized" for TOC PRE recording,
with a fixed track length of either 10 seconds or 30 seconds. After the TOC has
been written, the recording mode of the disc cannot be changed.

6.2.2 Track start

When a TOC has been written, and the STDBY key is pressed, the display will
show "0100 -02". If a number of tracks have already been written on the disc,
the first 2-digit number on the display will indicate the first track available for
writing. The "-02" corresponds to two seconds of source machine "preroN",
and is explained below.
The structure of the start of a track is shown below:
-1 second
Frames -

It should be noted that it is possible to start recording from the "-1" position (as
indicated by the "0100-01" display on the controller and the RECORD indica­
tor on the main unit front panel). However, subsequent replay from a track start
will begin at the "0 second" point, ignoring recorded material from "-02" to
00
" " .
