Sampling Frequency
Sampling frequency is the number of times an audio signal is measured (sampled) per
second, expressed in kilohertz (kHz). Similar to bit rate, higher rates translate into
better sound quality. Sampling frequency is set automatically according to the
recording method or audio source.
Recording
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz is set according to the audio source status.
Digital Input
When recording from DVD players, cancel DTS.
Analog Input 44.1 kHz (fixed)

Track Bookmarks
Add Bookmarks to music in Play List to divide it into tracks for Repeat or Random
Play. Track Bookmarks are created in the following conditions:
A period of silence is detected between music files. When recording
Digital Input from CD/MD players, etc., track numbers remain the same as the
original.
Analog Input A period of silence is detected between music files
^ If Music Player does not detect a period of silence, recorded music files are all combined
and saved as a single track.
^ When Synchro Recording is On, recording pauses after a period of silence. Recording
resumes when sound (next music) is detected.
B When Synchro Recording is On, recording stops after 15 seconds of pause.
^ Brief sound dropouts occur when Track Bookmarks are created.
^ Track Bookmarks may not be created automatically depending on the connected audio
source. In this case, divide music into tracks manually (see P.10-10 "Manual Track
Bookmark Creation").
,
Recording may result in silence or a single music file with a low volume level if the
music consists of long periods of silence or sustained low volume level.
