SKIP
 keys Hto change the value between DD, 
-24, -30, -36, -42, -48, -54, 
-60, -66, and -72 dB.
Low numerical values of this setting (towards –24) 
mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start 
of the synchronized recording. A high numerical 
value (towards –72) means that a relatively quiet sig-
nal will trigger the start of recording.
The 
DD setting is a special case. It is not a signal...

If the signal is detected from an MD, the unit enters 
record ready mode immediately:

or
the sound level drops below the threshold level for 
five seconds
If you set the threshold value so that only high-level 
signals trigger recording, remember that this will not 
record the start of a piece with a slow fade-in:
Also remember that when recording from an analog 
source, the threshold should be set so that...

2Stop the source. After a few seconds, the unit 
enters record ready mode. The time between 
the stopping of the source and entering record 
ready mode is used to record a gap at the end 
of the track.
3If no changes are made to the unit’s controls, 
restarting the source restarts recording, as the 
unit is still in sync mode and will start record-
ing again when the source is detected.

When recording in sync mode, you may notice a 
slight delay...

automatic track increment.
You may find it helpful to use the track restriction 
facility (see 4.2.4, “Restricting the number of 
tracks”) together with the automatic track division. 
For instance, if you have recorded two albums on one 
DAT tape, and you wish to make two separate CDs 
from this tape, you can use the 
MULTI DIAL control 
to set the number of tracks to the number of tracks 
comprising the first album.
When the final track of the first...

As the fade progresses, the monitored signal 
gradually becomes louder, reflecting the level 
recorded on disc.

be adjusted.
When this offset has been set, synchronized record-
ing takes place with the start occurring at the new 
location:
This example shows how the start time can be moved 
forward, in order to eliminate unwanted “false 
starts”. It is also possible to “slip” the start time back-
wards, in order to record a quiet passage that would 
otherwise not trigger the sync recording facility (this 
is done by...

4.5.2 Rehearsal for track division
In the same way that the automatic threshold may 
produce a false trigger, starting recording at the 
wrong point, the automatic threshold may produce 
false track divisions.
By rehearsing the point at which the track division is 
to be made, it is possible to trim the division point so 
that it corresponds to a the track division which is 
actually required.

5 – After recording
This section deals with the actions taken after record-
ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase 
operations for CD-RW discs.
Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final—no more 
can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs 
can be “unfinalized” using the CD-RW2000, i.e. their 
TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further 
material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is 
full, tracks can be erased following the unfinalize 
process, and...

3Tu r n  t h e  MULTI DIAL control or use the  SKIP 
keys to change the number of the first track to 
be erased. The highest value that this number 
can take is the last track recorded (e.g. if 17 
tracks have been recorded on the disc, 
17-
17
 means that the last track only, 17, will be 
erased). The lowest value that this number can 
take is 
2 (if this number was 1, the whole disc 
would be erased, as described below).
