Important Note: With a few CD and DVD play-
ers the CDR30´s Sync mode recording will start
as the as the source player is set from Stop to
P With those sources tracks to be recorded
should be started only from the Stop mode rather
than from P
Note: With CD Sync track numbers cannot be
increased manually by pressing the T
Increment button
D
, this is possible with
the
Record Levels
P the setting of
record levels is important to the creation of a
copy disc that is correctly recorded so that it is
both free from noise (caused by too low a record
level) or distortion (caused by too high a record
level). Since the CDR 30 accepts both digital and
analog sources a different procedure is required,
depending on the type of input used.
In gener
recordings a proper recording is made when the
individual left and right Level Indicators
G
run in the left two-thirds of the display scale and
the red OVE
G
indicators flash only briefly
If the level is too high or too low during an ana-
log recording, simply adjust the Analog Record
Level Control
*
until the level is set properly
(more information on adjusting the analog record
level see left on this page).
It is important to note that for digital recordings
the level indications will always run lower than
what you would expect for an analog recording.
T within limits, low level
for digital recordings is not a severe problem.
However too high digital levels will cause audible
distortion as with analog recordings
T
with the adjustment set at a 0 dB level, then the
Digital Record Level Status Indicator
X
will not be lit. T
recordings and under normal circumstances you
will not need to mak
tal levels may be needed only when the disc or
track to be recorded will deliver too low a signal
level to the CDR30. Decrease level only when
you wish to record the disc on the CDR30 with a
lower level than on the original.
T press the
appropriate
