• Automatically during recording
(Level Synchro Recording)
Track numbers are automatically marked as on
the original source during recording from this
system’s CD player or components connected
to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack. However,
track numbers are not marked depending on the
track.
Use the Level Synchro Recording function to
automatically mark track numbers during
recording from this system’s tuner or
components connected to the MD/TAPE IN

automatically if the sound source to be
recorded is noisy (e.g., tapes or radio
programs).
