Notes
• You cannot record over existing material. The
recorder automatically starts recording from the end
of the existing material.
• Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the
CD-R or CD-RW is longer than the playing time of
the CD, especially if you want to record all the
tracks on the CD.
• You cannot pause recording in Synchro-Recording.
• If the play mode is set to Repeat Play, it
automatically switches to normal play in step 4.
• If you set “Program Play,” you cannot use the High
Speed Synchro-Recording mode for recording.
• When you select the High Speed Synchro Recording
mode during Program Play, the recorder will
automatically make a copy at normal speed.
• You cannot use the recording function when you set
“Shuffle Play.”
• If an error message appears on the front panel

shaped)

• When “TOC WRITE” flashes in the display, the
recorder is currently updating the table of contents
(TOC). Do not move the recorder or pull out the AC
power cord.
• If the following occurs during CD playback or
recording, a reading error may occur or noise may
be produced in the recorded results:
– The CD tray or other part of the system is
bumped.
– The system is placed on an uneven or soft
surface.

other source of vibration.
Note on a copy protection
Some commercial CD discs may contain a
copy protection code that will prevent the disc
from being recorded. In this case, the “COPY
PROHIBIT” indicator will appear.
Do not disconnect the recorder from
the power source immediately after
recording.
If you do, recorded material may not be saved
to the CD-R or CD-RW. When “BUSY” or
“UPDATE” appears in the display, the deck is
currently updating track information. When
“UPDATE” stops being displayed, it is safe to
disconnect the AC power cord.
