RECORDING
Do not record a programmed sequence from a DCC or DAT,
because this will result in the wrong track numbering. Always record
numbers In the original (non-programmed) sequence.

Information. The CD-Recorder will not start unless it recognizes a
digital signal. Although the reaction time is less than 200
milliseconds, a fraction of the beginning of a number may sometimes
not be completely recorded. If this happens, you can start the
recording manually (see Manual recording from a digital source).
