Introduction

Use the various recording modes described here when you're recording from a component connected to the recorder either directly via an optical or coaxial digital connection, or via your amplifier to the the analog line in jacks.

For most sources, both analog and digital, it's convinient to use one of the synchro recording modes: 1-track, all track or all track with finalize.

Should your particular recording application need it, there's also a manual recording mode.

When recording from external sources, bear in mind the following:

•Most CDs, MDs, DCCs and DATs are digital-copy protected, which generally means that you can make a copy of the original, but not a copy of a copy.

•When recording incompatible or copy-proteced digital sources, use the analog inputs.

•When recording digitally from DAT, the start ID track markers on the tape may be after the start of the track. Check the tape you’re planning to record and manually insert new start IDs before recording.

These points are covered in more detail in Additional Information on pages 36–37.
