• Before operating the recorder, check that the

operating voltage of the recorder is identical with

your local power supply. The operating voltage is

indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the

recorder.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the recorder for a long

time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp

the plug itself; never pull the cord.

Finalizing is the process of writing a TOC (Table of

Contents, track time and other information) to a CD-R

or CD-RW disc. Before a disc is finalized, you can add

additional recordings, but after a disc is finalized,

further recording is disabled. Consequently, perform

finalizing after completing recordings to the disc.

Recordable

CD-R Discs

Until a CD-R disc is finalized, it cannot be played on a

CD player. By finalizing, a CD-R disc can be played

on a CD player as well as on this CD recorder.

Unfinalized CD-R discs can be played on the CD

recorder regardless.

FOR CONSUMER

FOR CONSUMER USE

FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

CD-RW Discs

By finalizing a CD-RW disc can be played on a CD-RW-

compatible CD player, but depending on the physical

specifications, a CD-RW disc cannot be played on a CD

player that is not CD-RW-compatible.

Unfinalized CD-RW discs can be played on the CD

recorder regarless.

Ha n d lin g Discs

You can record on CD-R disc only once. Tracks

recorded on CD-R disc cannot be erased.

Recordings on CD-RW disc can be erased and used

again.

When a CD-R or CD-RW disc is inserted into the CD

recorder, the indicator to show the type of disc will

light on the front panel. If a play-only CD is inserted,

the indicator will not light.

When finalizing, you can add disc and track names using

this CD recorder.

If a finalized disc is inserted, the finalized indicator will

light, and a frame will appear around the music calendar.

Writing to PMA (Program Memory Area)

When recording to a CD-R/ RW disc, immediately after

the x button is pressed, the recorded track number and

track time information is automatically recorded in the

program memory area on the disc. If writing to the

PMA is not performed correctly, the recorded data is

disabled, and the disc itself can no longer be used.

You can hold the maximum level display on the level

meter until performing manual reset.

Using peak hold display while inputting signals in

recording mode and record standby mode before

actually making a recording, you can check the

maximum input signal value. Use this value to

calibrate the recording level adjustment.

To make sure of writing to the PMA after completing

recording, do not turn OFF the power supply to the CD

recorder under the following conditions.

• During recording.

• When in pause mode after a recording.

• After pressing the x button, while PMA Writing is

displayed. (Writing to the PMA takes approximately

5 seconds after recording has finished.)

To use peak hold display, turn ON the Peak Hold

setting in the Setup menu. Refer to page 28, “Setup

Menu Operations.”

To reset the peak hold display, use one of the

following two methods.

• Turn OFF and then ON again Peak Hold in the

setup menu.

• During recording mode or recording standby

mode, press the CLEAR button.

Maximum Number of Tracks that can Be Recorded

on a Disc

Depending on the CD specifications, you can record a

maximum of 99 tracks on the CD-R/ RW disc. Even if

there is still space to record more on the disc, you

cannot exceed 99 tracks. When the 99th track is being

recorded, you cannot pause recording by pressing the

X button. Stop the recording by pressing the x button.

You can also use peak hold display when playing

discs.

Minimum Track Recording Time

You cannot record tracks less than 4 seconds long.

SBM Filt e r

The volume will automatically decrease and the

CD recorder will enter record standby mode.

The CD recorder is equipped with a 24-bit A/ D

converter, but the CD format itself is set at 16 bits as the

universal standard. Consequently, you must convert

the data, which was A/ D-converted using 24 bits, to 16

bits to record. In this case, the simplest method is to

omit the least-significant 8 bits of the 24-bit data. (This

happens when SBM is turned OFF.) This, however,

wastes much of the 24-bit data output from the A/ D

conversion. Using SBM processing, the least-significant

8 bits of the 24-bit data is woven into the 16-bit data

while pushing outside of audible range the quantum

noise when converting to 16 bits, by creating in the

noise shaping filter frequency characteristics that take

account of human auditory characteristics. In this way,

although called 16-bit data, you can record the detailed

sound quality on the original 24-bit data without

degradation. In addition, SBM function operates

during recording, so discs recorded using SBM

processing reproduce the same sound quality when

played on other CD players.

Adjusting Fade-in/Fadeout Time

You can set the fade-in/ fadeout time between 1 and

8 seconds, using “Fader Time” in the Setup menu

screen.

Depending on the headphones and your system, SBM

effects may not be wholly effective.

Using Digital Limiter Effectively

The digital limiter, which is used when performing CD

mastering, can also be used without adjustment for

simulation processing. Low level parts of isgnal are

raised without distortion, and high level parts of signal

are processed using soft clip signal waveforms to

prevent hard clipping, so you can convert the entire

recorded acoustic pressure level without audibly

increasing distortion.

Convert the signal to high level.

When setting the analog input recording level,

basically set the REC LEVEL control so that hard

clipping does not occur in the greatest part of the

level during A/ D conversion. Even so, this may

result conversely in the entire level being too low. If

this is the case, when using the digital limiter, raise

the low recording level using soft clipping to

prevent audible distortion of high recording level.

LIM Ratio Parameter (Limiter Ratio)

Variable range: 0% to 100% (0.00 dB to 6.02 dB).

The percentage is the effective ratio.

There is no effect at 0%. At 100%, the

maximum effect is yielded. Decibels

Change the sound characteristic using soft

Limiter soft clipping is an effect resembling

saturation on a tape recorder. Soft clipping is

performed on input signals exceeding –20 dB, so

parameter achieves a forceful sound with little ear-

CD-R discs can be played on ordinary CD players

when they have been finalized, but you cannot change

the disc status, such as adding additional tracks.

You can add disc names and track names in to discs in

CD-text format. The disc names and track names that

have been entered are written to the disc when the disc

is finalized. Consequently, enter the names just before

finalizing the disc.

Note: Removing discs or turning OFF the power

supply before the disc is finalized but a name has been

entered will result in the name data being lost.

You can record up to 23 characters each for disc name

Storage

• Avoid places with direct sunlight, high temperature,

or high humidity, as this may cause warping or

discoloring of the disc.

Pre ca u t io n s

• Store the disc in the proper case. Placing multiple

discs in one case may cause warping and scratching

of the discs.

Co n d e n sa t io n

Turning on the heating in a room when the weather is

cold may cause water droplets to form inside the CD

recorder. This is called condensation. If condensation

occurs, normal operation will be disabled and the disc

and parts may be damaged. In this case, remove the

disc and leave the CD recorder to stand with the power

supply turned ON for 1 hour, and then turn OFF the

power and ON again before using the CD recorder

normally. If normal operation is not restored even after

several hours, consult the Sony Service Center.

Inserting Discs

• Check that the CD is firmly inserted within the tray

guides.

• Inserting the CD slanted may cause damage to the

disc or the CD recorder.

Disc Maintenance

• Fingerprints, dust, and dirt may cause incorrect

operation.

• Basically, take care not to dirty the signal side of the

disc.

Disc Ha n d lin g Pre ca u t io n s

• If the disc is dirty, gently wipe the disc clean from the

center outwards using a soft cloth.

• If the dirt is severe, wipe the disc gently with a soft,

damp cloth, and then dry the water using a dry

cloth.

Handling Discs

• Do not touch the signal surface (the side without

characters or printing) with your fingers and hands.

• Dust, scratches, and dirt may prevent normal play

and recording.

• Do not use benzene, record cleaners, or static

prevention solutions on the disc, as these chemicals

may cause the disc to warp.

• If a disc is damaged or dirtied before recording,

normal recording will be disabled, so handle

recording discs with greater care than normal play-

only discs.

• You can delete tracks recorded on CD-RW discs and

reuse the discs for recording as many times as you

like, so when reusing, be sure that you can record

correctly.

• Do not affix stickers to either the signal side or the

printed side of the disc. The disc’s center of gravity

may be upset, and correct reading and writing

disabled, or the CD may become stuck in the player

and unable to be removed, causing damage.

• If writing the disc details or similar directly onto the

surface of the label side (the side with characters or

printing) of the disc, use a soft-tipped pen such as a

felt pen.

• Writing forcefully with a hard-tipped pen such as a

ball pen may cause damage to the recording surface,

disabling the use of the disc.
