B) RECORDING SETTINGS
i) RECORDING LEVEL
The recording level can be adjusted with the REC LEVEL -/REC LEVEL + buttons (52/53) to avoid distortion if the
record source level is too high.
ii
) TRACK SEPARATION DURING CD RECORDING
It is possible to separate the music tracks that are being recorded track-after-track during recording by using
either the Auto (a) or Manual (b) mode:
a) Auto mode
Press the “ AUTO/MANUAL“ button (19) when getting ready to use the recording function, the LCD display will
show -20db, -30db, -40db, and the “AUTO TRACK” icon will appear on the LCD display.
When the recording sound level has dropped below the -20 / -30 / -40dB (recording signal) respectively, the track
that is currently being recorded will end and at that moment a new track will be generated – after which recording
the next track will automatically continue.
Note: It is recommended to set a lower recording level for a music source with clear performance - such as a
USB device, and a higher recording level for a higher noise music source - such as a vinyl record (Phono):
“ – 20db or – 30db “ – for recording from USB or Aux-in with a digital music source.
“ – 30db or – 40db “ – for recording from Tape or Phono mode.
“ ------- “ – auto mode off.
Note: The above is just a recommendation, the actual performance varies and is affected by the differences in
music source. If the cut-off is always misjudged for certain music files, please use the Manual Mode (b) instead.
b) Manual mode
Press the “CD II track separation “ “ button (16) on the front panel (or on the Remote Control) once - at
anytime during recording - in any mode - and the system will generate a new track and continue recording. The
word “bUSY “ will briefly show on the LCD display, which indicates the unit is successfully creating a new track.

) FINALIZING A CD-R(W) DISC
You must convert the CD-R(W) disc into a standard Audio CD before you can play it back in any another Audio
CD player, including CD
I. This process is known as “FINALIZING” - a table of contents (TOC) will be written
on the CD at the same time. The procedure is as follows:
1. Select the CD
II function mode, ensure the recorded CD-R(W) disc to be finalized is in the CD II tray.
2. Ensure the CD is not playing, and then press the
FINALIZE button (22). “ Fin-d “ appears on the CD Recorder
operation display. (If you wish to quit the finalizing mode for any reason, press the “CD II Stop ” button).
3. Press the “CD II Play/Pause ” button (24) to start finalizing and the CD Recorder operation display will
show “ bUSY“ during this process.
4. After finalizing has completed, the CD tray will open automatically and “OPEN“ will appear on the CD
Recorder operation display.
Notes:
– The time it takes to finalize a disc depends on the contents of the recorded disc - this may take up to 15
minutes, but usually less.
– No buttons will be working during the finalizing process.
– Never turn the power off or unplug the power cord during the finalizing process.
– Once recorded on and after finalizing a disc you cannot record again on a “CD-R” disc or erase any tracks.
– Although a finalized “CD-R” disc may play on other CD Players, remember that a finalized “CD-RW” disc is
not guaranteed to play on all other CD Players.
– Due to differences in compatibility with the unit of CD-R or CD-RW discs, please change to another brand, or
even another one in the pack, if you find the performance of the recording not satisfactory. This is not a
system malfunction.
