NOTES ON DISCS  
Handling of discs  
To prevent a malfunction of this  
unit  
Heed the following notes on handling of discs not to create any  
cause for a recording failure, a loss of the recorded data, or a  
malfunction of this unit.  
• Do not use any non-standard shaped CDs (heart, flower shaped,  
etc.) available on the market, because they are off-balance in their  
weight.  
If a non-standard shaped CD is loaded into this unit, it may create  
problems such as improper playback, opening the disc tray,  
creating an usual noise, and this unit’s failure.  
• This compact disc recorder is designed for use with CDs  
(including 8cm [3”] discs) bearing the following marks only.  
Never attempt to load any other type of disc into this unit.  
• CDs are not subjected to wear during play. However if the disc is  
handled improperly, damage may be created on the disc to  
adversely affect the disc’s play.  
• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing  
on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or  
other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and  
may adversely affect further recording on the disc.  
• When writing on the label side of CD-R or CD-RW discs, use an  
oil-based felt-tipped pen.  
• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could  
damage this unit.  
• Do not use the discs with glue left on their surface. It may get  
stuck in this unit or create damage to this unit.  
• Although playback of CDs is generally not affected by small  
particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, dust,  
fingerprints, small scratches and direct sunlight on the recording  
surface of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may make recording impos-  
sible. Therefore, for optimal performance of the recorder and for  
long-term enjoyment of your CD collection, handle discs  
correctly as outlined in the following guidelines.  
• When using an 8cm (3”) disc, do not place a normal 12cm (5”)  
disc on top of it.  
• Do not use the discs printed with commercially available label  
printers.  
1. Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole. When  
setting/removing a disc to/from the disc tray, be careful not to  
damage the disc surface.  
2. When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the  
recorder and store in an appropriate case.  
3. With proper disc maintenance, cleaning should not be  
necessary. However, should cleaning be required, wipe by  
using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion;  
wipe straight outward from the center.  
• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc  
cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid, or any other  
chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably  
damage the disc’s surface.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high  
humidity for a long period of time, because this might warp or  
otherwise damage the disc.  
No!

playing back. The list of the program sources marked is called  
“bookmark”. This marking is temporary and cannot be duplicated.  
However, an album can be easily created by copying the  
bookmarked tracks (P.54).  
Disc  
One consequent recording is counted and numbered as one unit of  
disc. The HDD of this unit can record 999 discs at maximum.  
(However, the number of discs to be created may be less than 999  
for the space availability on the HDD.) The maximum length of one  
disc on the HDD is 179 minutes 59 seconds.  
Track  
99 tracks can be recorded onto a disc at maximum. (However the  
number of discs tracks to be recorded may be less than 99 for the  
space availability on the HDD.) One track must be 4 seconds at  
shortest and 179 minutes 59 seconds at longest.  
Album  
A group of the source programs selected from different discs and  
recorded as the playlist is called “album”. “Album” corresponds to  
the “program” function (to play back favorite tracks in the desired  
order) of a standard CD player. This unit can record 999 albums at  
maximum onto the HDD.

RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL COMPONENT ONTO THE HDD  
Using an external timer to record  
Notes on recording time setting  
• This unit is not equipped with the clock function. Use an external timer when making a timer recording.  
• It may take 30 seconds to 1 minute after the power of this unit is turned on by an external timer until an actual recording starts. (This length  
of time is subject to change depending on the condition.) During this time, no recording is made. Therefore set the time that is 2-minute  
earlier than the starting time of the program to be recorded for turning on this unit.  
• As a characteristic of an HDD recorder, it is necessary to store information to control audio data as well as audio data itself. This informa-  
tion is normally recorded when recording is stopped. Therefore if the power of this unit is turned off before recording is stopped, no  
information to control audio data and no audio data are stored. Set the time that is longer than 3-minute after the program to be recorded  
finishes for turning off this unit by an external timer.  
• Set the time that is 2-minute longer than actual recording time for the total recording time.  
Following chart indicates the time flow when this unit makes timer recordings.

Example:To record the program that starts at 9:00 and ends at 10:00.  
• Set the external timer to be turned on at 8:58.  
• Set the external timer to be turned off after 10:03.  
• Set 1 hour 2 minutes for the total recording time on this unit.  
Memo  
• Actual recorded material includes a little more than the set amount of time at both beginning and end of the recording. Delete unnecessary  
parts using the editing operation.  
• Recording will be stopped if copy protected digital signals are input while timer recording is being made.  
• If you set the total recording time over 179 minutes 59 seconds, recording will be made extending several discs. To play the recorded  
materials sequentially, select “Style All” as the play style (P.20).

placing track markers at the set time interval. The length  
between track markers can be adjusted in the 10 seconds to 30  
minutes range by 10-second steps. This mode is convenient to  
search for material recorded from FM broadcasts.  
• In the auto period recording mode, a time error can occur in a  
frame unit. Therefore, the time of each track or the group total  
time may not match the confirmed time length between selected  
track markers or the total recording time.

GLOSSARY  
The following explains key terms used in this manual.  
Album  
Finalize  
An album is a unit used while playing back or recording audio  
signals on this unit. For detailed information, see “Data on the  
HDD” (P.16).  
Finalize is a process to enable audio data recorded onto CD-R/RW  
discs to be played back on CD players or other CD-RW compatible  
devices. An audio disc created on this unit must be finalized to be  
played back on other playback devices.  
Audio Master Quality Recording  
Group  
Audio Master Quality Recording is a high quality recording mode  
used to create an audio CD with its original quality. By minimizing  
the jitter that subtly degrades the audio quality or even causes data  
transmission failure, Audio Master Quality Recording actualizes a  
clear sound close to the original sound.  
A group is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals  
on this unit and is a collective term for albums, discs and book-  
marks. A group consists of several audio tracks. For detailed  
information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs”  
(P.17).  
Bookmark  
SCMS  
A bookmark is a collection of audio tracks of your preference. You  
can play back or record audio data using a bookmark, and an album  
can be created from a bookmark. For detailed information, see  
“Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a system developed by  
JASRAC (Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and  
Producers) to prevent unlimited digital copying of CD’s and other  
prerecorded media. In essence, SCMS prevents more than one  
generation of digital copying (i.e. a copy of an SCMS copy-  
protected source cannot be duplicated).  
CD TEXT  
CD TEXT is text information (album title, track title, etc) recorded  
on CDs and can be read only with a CD player or CD-ROM drive  
that supports CD TEXT.  
TOC  
TOC (Table of Contents) is a disc index recorded on a finalized disc  
and enables playback devices to distinguish audio tracks recorded  
on the disc.  
Digital Move  
Digital move implies moving audio data recorded on the HDD onto  
CD-R/RW discs. The audio data once digital moved onto CD-R/RW  
discs are erased from the HDD. Because digital move is regarded as  
one generation of digital copying, audio data can be digitally copied  
from CDs onto the HDD and then from the HDD onto CD-R/RW  
discs. However, audio data cannot be copied onto several CD-R/  
RW discs at the same time.  
Track  
A track is equivalent to one audio recording and is the smallest unit  
used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For  
detailed information, see “Data on the HDD” (P.16) or “Data on  
CDs” (P.17).  
Disc  
Track Mark  
A disc is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals  
on this unit. For detailed information, see “Data on the HDD”  
(P.16) or “Data on CDs” (P.17).  
A track mark is a mark made at the beginning of a track and enables  
playback devices to distinguish the starting position of each audio  
track. A track mark also facilitates track search and intro playback.  
You can make a track mark on this unit either automatically or  
manually.  
Emphasis  
Emphasis is a recording mode used to improve the quality of audio  
data. Emphasis turns the volume of the upper register up before  
recording and down while playing back, resulting in a decrease in  
the noise level of the upper register.

RULES OF DIGITAL RECORDING AND NOTES ON SYSTEM  
Rules of digital recording  
Notes on system  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
Number and length of recordable discs and  
tracks  
• One CD-R or CD-RW disc, or one disc on the HDD can be  
recorded with up to 99 tracks on them.  
As a digital audio component, this unit conforms with the Serial  
Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy  
Management System restricts copies made by recording digital  
signals to first-generation copies only.  
• Once 99 tracks have been recorded, no further recording is  
possible even if space for recording is available on the disc.  
The digital program sources that have been recorded cannot be  
digitally recorded again.  
• The minimum length of one track must be 4 seconds. If a  
recording is stopped while the track is less than 4 seconds long,  
this unit will record for 4 seconds, and then stop recording. The  
maximum length of one track is 179 minutes 59 seconds for the  
HDD.  
There are 2 rules as follows:  
Rule 1  
Digital sources such as commercially available CDs can be copied  
digitally onto other recordable digital media with this unit (a first-  
generation digital copy). However, the first-generation digital copy  
cannot be copied digitally any further.  
• 999 discs can be created at maximum on the HDD of this unit.  
However, the number of discs that can be created is limited  
according to the space availability (total recordable time) on the  
HDD.  
Rule 2  
The source that was recorded via the ANALOG LINE IN (REC)  
jacks can be copied digitally onto other recordable digital media  
(a first-generation digital copy). However, the first-generation  
digital copy cannot be copied digitally any further.  
• The maximum length of one disc on the HDD is 99 minutes 59  
seconds. However, since each track on the HDD is handled in the  
unit of frame (75 frames are equal to one second), the maximum  
length of one track or disc may vary slightly.  
• When recording on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, 2-second silence will  
be automatically added to the beginning of the first track.  
Therefore the actual total recordable time will be 2 seconds  
shorter than the total recordable time of a CD-R or CD-RW disc.  
This unit monitors the SCMS status for each track when a digital  
recording is made. If the track is protected from digital recording  
and copying, it is not possible to make a digital recording and copy  
of that track.  
The SCMS standard does not apply to analog recording and  
copying.  
Source sampling rate conversion  
• Digital input of this unit supports sampling frequencies of 32kHz,  
44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz. This unit converts these inputs to  
the 44.1kHz,16-bit digital signals and records them onto the  
HDD, or a CD-R or CD-RW disc.  
When making a copy from a CD onto the HDD, or from the HDD  
onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, any of the copy methods described  
below can be selected. The following selections are contained in  
“Copy Method”.  
• Analog input is also converted to the same digital signal to be  
recorded.  
• “Auto Dig/Anlg”:  
Automatically switches to analog recording if the track cannot be  
digitally recorded for SCMS.  
• This unit outputs the signals at the sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, 16-bit from its digital output.  
• “Digital Copy”:  
Performs digital copying of only those tracks that can be digitally  
copied.  
Recording of non-audio signals  
• This unit is designed exclusively for recording audio signals.  
Recording is only possible for audio signals.  
• “Digital Move”:  
Performs digital copying of the tracks that cannot be digitally  
copied by “Digital Copy” when copying from the HDD onto a  
CD-R or CD-RW disc.  
• When a CD with CD TEXT is copied onto the HDD, CD TEXT  
will be automatically copied if it is not copy protected. When a  
CD with CD TEXT is recorded from an external CD player, CD  
TEXT cannot be copied even if it is not copy protected. To copy  
CD TEXT, use the built-in CDR drive of this unit.  
• “Analog Copy”:  
Performs analog copying regardless of the SCMS standard.  
• If the digital signals contain graphic data such as CD graphics, the  
non-audio signals will not be recorded.  
Digital Move  
This unit has a built-in HDD with large space that makes a long  
recording possible. You can create your own CD by editing the  
various program sources that have been recorded onto the HDD of  
this unit and copying them onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc.  
• It is not possible to record from non-audio sources such as CD-  
ROM or DVD.  
Data processing  
• A small amount of space may be used for data processing besides  
recording the actual program sources.  
If you want to make a digital copy of the original data that has been  
created on the HDD to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the “Digital Move”  
method is convenient. You can make a digital copy from the HDD  
onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc even if the track is protected from  
making a second-generation copy by the SCMS standard.  
• Although this unit is capable of recording 999 albums at  
maximum onto the HDD, the data processing speed may slow  
down if a large number of albums is created.  
However, since the concept of “Digital Move” is that the data is  
moved from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the original  
data on the HDD is erased when moving is complete.
