� You cannot operate the DVD/CD player section while the deck is recording or standing by for recording with �OPTICAL� or �ANALOG� selected with the INPUT button. � If you press the REC button during recording, you can add a track (The track must be longer than 4 seconds). � Press X when the recorder is in standby for recording to add a silent (around 2 seconds) before a song you are recording. The recorder automatically enters standby again. � This recorder uses the Serial Copy Management System(SCMS), which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software via the recorder�s digital input. Therefore you may not be able to record a CD-R or CD-RW digitally through OPTICAL IN, depending on the content being record.

� The Auto mode will add track numbers automatically, in one of two ways. When track data is present from a digital recording, it will be carried over to the new copy disc. Thus, when the CD being played moves from one track to the next track, the copy disc will also increase the track number by one. � In the Auto mode for recordings from an analog source or a digital source with no track data, the track number will be increased when the recorder receives silence for 3 seconds. After 20 seconds of silence, the recording will automatically stop. � To activate the Auto mode, press the LEVEL SYNC once and note that the L.SYNC goes out. In that mode for either digital or analog recordings, you must add track numbers manually by pressing REC z when you wish to increase the track number. � The Digital In source with track data will be recorded not concerned with LEVEL SYNCH ON/OFF according to track data. � When the power is turned on, LEVEL SYNC is activated automatically and the L.SYNC indicator will light in the front panel display.
