4 - Recording
Before you start recording using the CD-RW700,  
make sure that you understand the following key 
points: 
•  Once you h av e recorded on a CD-R disc, the data 
cannot be erased from it.
• You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable  disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and  
behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc. 
Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased, 
refreshed and re-recorded.

NOTE
If digital direct is selected, as described below (4.3.4, 
“Digital direct”), the frequency convertor is bypassed. 
In this case, recording from digitally-connected 
devices is only possible when the source frequency 
is 44.1 kHz. If an attempt is made to record from a 
digitally-connected source at a different frequency, 
the error message Not Fs44.1k!is dis-
played.

presses of the 
DISPLAY key (A or 6) cycle 
between displaying the remaining time left for 
recording on the disc (
TOTAL REMAIN) and the elapsed 
time of the track currently being recorded (no indica-
tor lit).
