External recording

English

What is external recording?

Recording from an additional appliance is called “external recording”.

Analog or digital recording?

When making recordings from an external source, we recommend doing analog recording only if digital recording is not possible. Digital recording will result in better sound quality.

Automatic track increment

When the digital input for recording from a digital source (e.g. CD player) is used, tracks will be incremented automatically such that the track numbers are positioned on the same position as on the original. When the analog input for recording from a digital or analog source is used, track increment will not take place automatically unless one of the following settings is selected.Track increments may not always be positioned correctly, depending on the quality of the source material.

Press TR. INCR. as often as necessary on the remote control during stop to switch through the following automatic track increment functions:

TURNTABLE: for optimal recording from noisy sources like turntables (It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to AUX/CDR IN L/R - see “Analog connections”.)

TAPE/TUNER: for optimal recording from a tape

CD/DVD: for optimal recording from high quality sources like DAT, DCC or DVD

Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.
