8 – Copying discs—Disc copying
TASCAM CD-RW402 Owner’s Manual 45
Disc copying and DAO
The CD-RW402 allows both disc copying and disc-
at-once (DAO) copying. The main differences
between these two operations are explained here:
Disc copying
This operation allows the copying of audio discs
(ISO 9660 discs are copied as disc-at-once). When
such a copy is made, finalizing can be automatically
performed after the disc copy has been made.
1 A blank recordable disc should be placed in
drive 2 (the destination) and the audio disc to
be copied should be placed in drive 1 (the
source).
Drive 1 should be in
Continue mode (see “Play-
back modes” on page 23) Both drives should
be stopped.
2 Press the
DISC COPY key. Drive 1 display
shows
DISC COPY and drive 2 display shows
COPY> DISC.
3 Push drive 2
MULTI DIAL to continue (either
STOP key to cancel).
Drive 2 display now shows the
Copy Speed>
selection.
4 Turn the
MULTI DIAL (2) to select between x4
(four times speed),
x2 (double-speed) and x1
(real time) and press the MULTI DIAL (2).
Display 2 now shows the
FINALIZE> selection.
5 Turn the
MULTI DIAL (2) to select between YES
(the disc will automatically be finalized after
the copying),
NO (the disc will not be finalized
after the copy or if the destination disc is
blank),
DAO (disc at once; see “DAO copying”
on page 46) is available. Press the MULTI
DIAL
(2).
Drive 2 display now shows
COPY START ?.
6 Press
MULTI DIAL (2) to continue (or STOP to
cancel).
Drive 1 shows
Wait... and Drive 2 shows Copy
Standby
and Drive 1 starts reading the source
disc from track 1. When the unit is ready to
start copying (a few seconds), the drive 1 dis-
play shows the track being copied (
1
Tr
COPY),
and the drive 2 display shows the track num-
ber and the running time of the track (this
will be incremented at either x1, x2 or x4,
depending on the copy speed selected)
1
01
2:23.
The track numbers are incremented as the
copy progresses.
NOTE
If the source disc is a CD-EXTRA disc, use the DAO
option to copy this disc. This will ensure that the audio
and the data portions are copied.
If a non-recordable disc is in drive 2, the message
DRV2
DiscErr
appears. Replace the destination disc.
If a blank disc is loaded as the source disc, the display
shows
DRV1 NO TRK!
. Replace the source disc.
Disc copying Disc at once
Mainly used for audio. Mainly used for data.
Cannot copy data discs. Can copy data discs, including CD-ROM, and CD EXTRA discs as
well as audio discs.
Choice of finalization after copying. If the disc is not finalized, fur-
ther tracks can be added later (from other discs, if desired).
The DAO process includes the lead-out area, and so finalization is
automatically performed. A disc copied using DAO cannot have
any further data written to it.
ISRC data cannot be copied. ISRC data can be copied (“ISRC copy” on page 15).
CD TEXT input is available (see “CD TEXT” on page 42). CD TEXT input is not available.
Audio tracks are copied. The whole disc is copied in order ( (lead in/TOC, then data/audio,
then lead out), allowing “gapless” discs to be produced..
