NOTES ON THE OPC LIMIT OF CD-R DISCS
When a non-finalized CD-R is loaded in the record deck, "OPC" (Optimum Power Control) appears on the information display. OPC determines the intensity and duration of the recording laser beam that is best for the currently loaded disc.
Do not open and close the disc tray unnecessarily
OPC runs every time a non-finalized CD-R disc is loaded, and OPC can run only a limited number of times (approximately 100 times) on a non-finalized CD-R disc. OPC does not run when loading a finalized CD-R disc or a prerecorded music CD.

RECORDING

PRECAUTIONS
On recording programmed play
Do not attempt to record a sequence of tracks, as programmed on your DAT, DCC or other digital sources. Those tracks would not be numbered continuously. If you want to record a sequence of tracks, record them one by one.
About the update process
"UPDA TE" is displa yed after recording. The update process writes non-audio data in the PMA (Program Memory Area) of the disc. When finalizing the disc, TOC (Table Of Contents) is generated from the PMA data.
When digital input is interrupted during recording
If incoming digital input from the source device is interrupted momentarily, such as when the sampling frequency is changed on the source, a blank segment is recorded. If there is an interruption longer than 4 seconds, this unit stops recording and updates the PMA data.
When recording additional tracks
Additional recordings are made in sequence to the end of the last track on a non-finalized CD-R/RW if there is enough time remaining on the disc. Up to 99 trac ks can be recorded on a single disc.
Minimum length of recording you can make
The shortest possible length of recording is restricted to 6 seconds. In other words, you cannot terminate recording before the first 6 seconds are up. During this inter val, pressing c or s has no effect.
Compressed audio, and video or graphics data
This unit is not capable of recording compressed audio like DTS and Dolby Digital Surround sounds. Non-audio data contained in a Graphics CD or HDCD cannot be recorded on this unit either.
Copy prohibit
Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy protection data bit that will prevent the disc from being dubbed. In this case, "COPY PROHIBIT" will light.
