Recording from an External Source Using CD Sync
(Digital Synchronized)
This is the preferred method of recording from an external source. It allows you to
choose from optical or coaxial connections, depending on the output connections of the
external source, and also automatically detects when a digital signal is sent to the
recorder. (If your external audio source is compatible with the CD SYNC feature,
the track information and recording cues will be done automatically.)
If the external player is compatible, then all you have to do to start recording is press the
Play/Pause button on your external source to start recording. If the external audio source
is not compatible, automatic recording will not start. You need to record using the analog
connections. Refer to the owner’s manual for your external player for more information.
