External recording

Analog or digital recording	Recording with automatic start
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.

0Press 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.

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.
