• When you record in monaural, you can record
twice as much as in stereo (page 19).
• When recording from digital media, track
marks in the original are copied automatically
to the MD.
Notes
• You can make a digital recording only from an
optical type output.
• When recording from a portable CD player,
play it on AC power and disable the anti-skip
function (such as ESP*).
• When recording from a portable CD player,
pause the CD player before doing the
recording procedure.
• Digital output may be disabled on some
portable CD players when the player is not run
on AC power.
• A track mark is added at the point where you
press the XPAUSE button again to resume
recording while pausing recording; thus the
remainder of the track will be counted as a
new track.
