We strongly recommend that you read these pages fully before proceeding to the more detailed instructions on the following pages.

WRITE ERASE FINALIZE AUTO MANUAL INPUT SELECTOR ALL ­46:4O Remaining playing time of all tracks Digital recording restrictions This unit has been designed exclusively for recording and playback of audio discs-- you can't record other CD formats, such as computer CD-ROMs or Dolby Digital (AC3). If you record from a disc format such as CD+graphics, Video-CD, or other format that includes both digital audio and video or text, you will only be able to record the audio part of the disc. In addition to standard audio CDs, this recorder will record DTS encoded audio CDs and HDCD format CDs (in this case, the recording level must be set to 0dB). Almost all commercial digital source material is protected by copyright laws. For this reason, the PDR-05 uses special consumer-use blank CD-R and CD-RW discs on which a copyright fee has already been paid. A further restriction comes in the form of SCMS (an acronym for Serial Copy Management System). · · AUTO/ REC SYNCHRO MANUAL During recording, press TIME to switch the display mode.

After recording, always remove the disc from the recorder before switching the power off. Failure to do this could result in you losing some of the recorded material on the disc. 18 En 4 Getting Started Recording one track from a source If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from a digital (CD, MD, DCC or DAT) or an analog source, the recorder can start and stop automatically. With digital recording, there's no need to worry about recording levels--you'll get a perfect digital copy of the original (if you want to change the digital recording level, see pages 23). 1 DIGITAL REC LEVEL ANALOG REC LEVEL Synchro recording will not work if the source is already playing!The SYNC-1 indicator will start to blink when the recorder is ready. CD-R English SYNC-1 SYNC -1 The display shows the 1-track sync mode, with the SYNC-1 indicator blinking to show that recording can start. If you're recording a CD or MD, recording pauses automatically when the track changes or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source. If you're recording from DCC or DAT tape, recording pauses when the recorder encounters a new start ID or there is more than five seconds of silence on the source. (See also Digital recording from DAT on page 18. ) If you're recording from analog, recording pauses automatically when there is more than two seconds of silence on the source.
