After a few seconds, the unitenters record ready mode. The time betweenthe stopping of the source and enteringrecord ready mode is used to record a gap atthe end of the track.3 Restart the source to restart recording (if nochanges are made to the unit’s controls), asthe unit is still in sync mode and will startrecording again when the source is detected.NOTEWhen recording in sync mode, you may notice a slightdelay between starting the source, and the CD-RW4Uresponding. This is due to the way in which the unit works,storing the data in a memory buffer before writing it to thedisc. The resulting delay is therefore not a cause for con-cern—all audio data received between the start and endpoints will be recorded.leveltimeS_LVLNoise is higherthan thresholdStart of track is not registeredAt least 1secondRecordingstartsS_LVLleveltimeTrack signal from sourcestarts recordingS_LVLleveltime
