and crackles which may come from an older vinyl 
recording, for example). If the “noise floor” is higher 
than the threshold, synchronized recording will not 
take place (the rehearsal facility can be used here 
(4.4, “Rehearsal”) to help):
Because synchronized recording can be turned on 
and off while recording is taking place, it is therefore 
possible to record with a synchronized automatic 
start, and a manual end, or vice versa.

3Press the DIGITAL DIRECT key to toggle 
between 
ON and OFF.
When digital direct recording is enabled, the 
DIGITAL indicator in the display flashes slowly.
NOTE
As mentioned earlier, the digital direct feature 
bypasses the frequency convertor. Recording is 
therefore only possible from sources recorded with 
44.1 kHz sampling frequency.

The rec mute function allows instant cut-off of the 
input signal, and records four seconds of...

level where the fourth count will trigger recording (–
24 dB — this is the limit of the threshold sensitivity 
and cannot be adjusted further). 
When the rehearsal facility is used, the source is cued 
up and played, and the first few seconds of the track 
are sampled and looped. The position of the loop can 
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...

starts recording, with the start point being 
determined by the trim value.
NOTE
If a trim setting is made for the sync start, this will 
apply to all sync starts and track divisions made in 
the future until the value is reset using the procedure 
above.

produce a false trigger, starting recording at the 
wrong point, the...

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-RW700, 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 new...

3Turn the MULTI JOG 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).
