If the signal is detected from an MD, the unit enters
record ready mode immediately:
Note that the trigger level is not used here.
or
• the sound level drops below the threshold level for
five seconds
If you set the threshold value so that only high-level
signals trigger recording, remember that this will not
record the start of a piece with a slow fade-in:
Also remember that when recording from an analog
source, the threshold should be set so that it is higher
than the “noise floor” (the base level of hiss, pops
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
(4.5, “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.
When the source material is being played back
before synchronized recording is enabled, the condi-
tions under which synchronized recording will start
(after synchronized recording has been enabled) are:
When the signal drops below the threshold for one
second or more and then rises above the threshold
again (this is the general condition, of which starting
synchronized recording from a stopped or paused
source is a special case):
Alternatively, when recording digitally from sources
(MD, CD and DAT) which output track divisions,
synchronized recording starts when a track division
is received, regardless of the level:
To stop synchronized recording:
1
The unit must be in record mode, and the
SYNC
indicator in the display must be lit.
