Manual recording Preparing

This feature enables you to manually start and stop a recording record from any source.You can use manual recording for recording live music, or for particular music like classic which cannot be recorded with synchronised recording.

Important: For recording from CD-changers, use the RECORD DISC, RECORD TRACK or MAKE CD mode. Do not use REC MANUAL.

Track increments

0During digital recordings, track numbers can be copied automatically from the original.

0For analog recordings, the set can detect silences (longer then 2.7 seconds) in the source material and start a new track. Auto Track is however dependent on the quality of the analog source material and will not always increase the track number like on the original.
