Recording a new song

A maximum of 999 songs can be created on a single

About data types
When you record a new song, the BR-1180/1180CD allows
you to set the data type. This enables you to select the
combination of audio quality and recording time that is most
suitable for the material you are recording. The following
data types are available.
* The data type of a song cannot be changed after it is created.
LIN (Linear):
Uncompressed (linear 16-bit) mode. Provides the highest
quality recording and playback.
MT1 (Multitrack 1):
Allows twice the recording of "LIN" while preserving high-
quality sound.
MT2 (Multitrack 2):
Standard recording type. Permits extended recording times
without sacrificing sound quality.
LV1 (live1):
For recordings that will take longer than what can be
provided with the MT2 data type. This is the most suitable
setting when there is little space remaining on the hard disk.
LV2 (live 2):
Of the five data types, this provides the longest recording
time.
Recording time
The amount of time you can record to the internal hard disk
with each of these settings is shown below (with the 20 GB
hard disk, using only one track).
Data type Recording time
LIN Approx. 60 hours
MT1 Approx. 120 hours
MT2 Approx. 160 hours
LV1 Approx. 190 hours
LV2 Approx. 240 hours
* The recording times shown above are approximate. Depending
on the number of songs, the allowable recording time may
decrease. Additionally, due to the performance of the hard disk
itself, the actual amount of hard disk space that can be used
may vary, even with the same 20 GB hard disk.
* The recording times shown above are for when only one track
is used. For example, if you record on all ten tracks, the
recording time for each track will be 1/10th of the time shown
above.
