Recording One Track From A Digital Source - Pioneer PDR-509 Operating Instructions Manual

Basic Playback and Recording

Recording One Track from a Digital Source

If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from a
recorder starts and stops automatically, and there's no need to worry about recording levels— you'll get a perfect digital
copy of the original (if you want to change the digital recording level, see page 24). Before you start, make sure that your
digital source is properly connected to one of the recorder's digital inputs—see Connecting Up for Digital Playback &
Recording on page 10 for more on this.
If you're recording all the tracks on the source, see Recording All Tracks from a Digital Source on the next page. If you're
recording from some other digital source, turn to 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.
