Recording All Tracks from a Digital Source

If you want to copy all the tracks from a CD, MD, DCC or DAT, use this mode. Like the 1-track synchro recording mode, the recorder starts and stops automatically. When recording from MD or CD, you can play the source in either normal play mode, or program play if you’d like the recorded tracks in a different order to the original. We do not recommend recording from a DAT in program play mode—use the 1-track synchro recording mode if you want to record the tracks in a different order.

If you are simply duplicating a source disc or tape, you’ll probably want to finalize the CD–R(or CD–RW) after all-track sync recording so that it’s ready to be played on other CD players. To finalize the disc automatically once recording has finished, see Automatically Recording and Finalizing a Disc on the following page. If you're recording from a digital source other than CD, MD, DCC or DAT, see Manually Recording a Digital Source on page 23. If you’re recording from any source through the analog inputs, see Recording an Analog Source on page 25.
