The CD-R/RW drive cannot be used while running on battery power. If silence is included at the end of your finished song, the pre-gap time will be added to the length of this section, and as a result, the gap between songs will be longer than expected when the CD is played back on a CD player. For details regarding the deletion of silence from the end of songs, refer to "Erasing Data (Track Erase)" (p. 73). Setting the Time Between Songs (Pre-Gap) Often when you are playing audio CDs on standard CD players, you will see a countdown in the form of "-3, -2, -1" on the player's display before songs start. This duration is referred to as a Pre-Gap, and it can be freely set during the CD creation process to allow song lengths to be adjusted without having to record silence at the end of each. The CD menu screen will appear. fig. 05_CDmenu Writing Songs to Discs Have on hand the disc you want to burn as an audio CD. · CD-R or CD-RW disc with no data written to it (blank disc) · Discs that have song data that was written to them using the BP-1, but which still have space available for further recording and have not yet been finalized Methods for creating audio CDs With the BP-1, only the currently loaded song is written to the audio CD. If you want to include other songs on your CD, they will each have to be loaded and written in sequence. When you use this method, individual songs can be added to a disc one at a time until it is full. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to "AUDIO, " and press [ENTER]. Once this has been done, however, you will not be able to add any more songs to the CD. For this reason, you should aim to carry out the finalization of a CD disc only when it is nearly full of songs. If you don't finalize: It will not be possible to play your audio CD on a standard CD player until it has been finalized; however, you can keep adding songs to the disc until this process is carried out. The CD-R disc that is not finalized during the writing process can be finalized later on. For more details regarding methods for finalization after the writing of audio data, refer to "Enabling Playback on CD Players (Finalize)" (p. 143). 141 Creating Audio CD Viewing the Remaining Time for Recording on Audio CDs Use the following procedure to see how much time you have left for recording on an audio CD. The CD menu screen will appear. fig. 05_CDmenu Playing Back Audio CDs Let's now listen to the audio CD we have just created using the BP-1's CD-R/RW drive.

Naturally, you will also be able to listen to commercially produced audio CDs on this drive, and it can even play back audio CDs created using the BP-1 that have not yet been finalized. If you are working with an audio CD created with the BR900CD, you can play back and check the sounds on the CD even before finalizing it. Please note, however, that depending on the type of disc used and the data on it, songs may not play back properly all the way to the end.
