Notes:
- The recording speed is 1:1 and the same as the actual playing time of the playing source.
- To suspend the recording process, press the “ CD 2 Play/Pause ” button (19), “ bUSY “ will flash for a second
on the LCD display - a new recording track number will be generated and the recording will be paused. To
re-start the recording, press the CD 2 “Play/Pause ” button (19) again, the play indicator “ “ will show on
the LCD display.
- When the capacity of the disc CD-R disc is full, the word “FULL” will appear on the display – press the “ CD 2

B. CD RECORDING SETTINGS (on the remote control only)
i) Recording level
The recording level can be adjusted with the REC LEVEL +/- button (53/54) on the remote control 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, by using either the Auto (a) or
the Manual (b) mode before or during recording:
a) Auto mode
Press the “ AUTO/MANUAL“ button (57) 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 – afterwards the unit will
automatically continue recording the next track.
Note: It is recommended to set a lower recording level for a music source with clear performance (such as a CD or
MP3 via Aux-in), and set a higher recording level for a higher noise music source - such as a vinyl record (Phono):
“ – 20db or – 30db “ – for recording from Aux-in with a digital music source.
“ – 30db or – 40db “ – for recording from Tape or Phono mode.
“ ------- “ – auto mode off.
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 2 track separation “ “ button (28) on the front panel (or 57 on the Remote Control) once - at any
time 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.
iii) 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 1. 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 2 function mode (24), ensure the recorded CD-R(W) disc to be finalized is in the CD 2 tray.
2. Ensure the CD 1s not playing, and then press the FINALIZE button (26). “ Fin-d “ appears on the CD Recorder
operation display. (If you wish to quit the finalizing mode for any reason, press the “CD 2 Stop ” button (18).
3. Press the “CD 2 Play/Pause ” button (19) 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
another disc in the pack, if you find the performance of the recording not satisfactory - this is not a malfunction.
iv) Erasing or Un-finalizing a CD-RW Disc
It is possible to erase the last recorded track or erase all tracks recorded on a “CD-RW” (re-writeable) disc.
Notes: It is NOT possible to un-finalize or delete tracks from a “CD-R” disc.
If you wish to erase the last track of a finalized “CD-RW”, you must UN-FINALIZE THE WHOLE disc first.
