Analog or digital recording
When making recordings from an external source, we
recommend to do analog recording only if digital recording
is not possible. Digital recording will usually result in better
sound quality.
See chapter “Connections” to see which connections are
required.
If a digital source is selected:
➜ In case no digital signal is received, the input label ( DIG or
OPT ) starts flashing and No Signal is displayed.
0
Press DISPLAY to display the input sample rate
(SRC XX, X KHZ).
➜ Bit Perfect is displayed when an exact CD standard
signal is received which can be recorded with Direct Line
Recording.
Automatic track increment for
analog sources
When digitally recording from a CD player/changer
(internal or external) track increments are automatically
taken over from the source. When recording from analog
sources (AUX Analog), track increment is done, based on
silences (pauses) in the source material. Select one of the
following settings with the TRACK INCR(ement) key on the
remote control:
➜ CD/DVD: when recording from CD, DAT, DCC or DVD;
➜ Tape/Tuner: when recording from a cassette deck or
tuner;
➜ Turntable: when recording from a record player,
➜ Manual: switches the function off;
Default setting is Tape/Tuner.
Notes:
Auto track increment is dependant on the quality of the
source material and therefore not always possible.
Track numbers can always be incremented manually by
pressing TRACK INCR(ement) on the remote control during
recording.The minimum track length is 4 seconds.
Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.
