Recording mode setting in digital audio source recording

(main unit only)

When recording a multi-channel digital audio source, it is recommended to set up the recording mode properly to convert the digital input into the 2-channel analog output. Usually use the "A-REC" (Auto record) mode.

However, some discs often produce sound skipping. The "M-REC" (Manual record) mode should be used with such a disc.

®Start playback, then start recording.

•If the audio reproduction stops in the middle due to change in the input signals, etc., press [AUTO/MONO].

•When the "M-REC" mode is selected, the digital input signal is converted to stereo signals (down-mix). But once the digital signal is changed to other signal, no signal is output.

•When the "A-REC" mode is selected, the digital input signal is converted to stereo signals even if the digital signal is changed.

•When the digital mode changes during recording in the "A-REC" mode, the audio input source may be interrupted momentarily.
