External Recording; Analogue Or Digital Recording; Automatic Track Increment; Recording With Automatic Start - Philips FW-R55/25 User Manual

Analogue or digital recording?

When making recordings from an external source, we
recommend doing analogue recording only if digital
recording is not possible. Digital recording will usually result
in better sound quality.

Automatic track increment

When the digital input for recording from a digital
source (e.g. CD player) is used, tracks will be incremented
automatically such that the track numbers are positioned on
the same position as on the original.When the analogue
input for recording from a digital or analogue source is
used, track increment will not take place automatically unless
one of the following settings is selected.Track increments
may not always be positioned correctly, depending on the
quality of the source material.
G Press TRACK INCR. as often as necessary on the remote
control during stop to switch through the following
automatic track increment functions:
MANUAL: for switching the function off
➜
TURNTABLE: for optimal recording from noisy sources like
➜
turntables (It is not possible to connect a turntable
directly to AUX/CDR IN L/R – see "Analogue audio
connections".)
TAPE/TUNER: for optimal recording from a tape
➜
CD/DVD: for optimal recording from high quality sources
➜
like DAT, DCC or DVD
Notes:
Track numbers can be incremented manually by pressing
TRACK INCR. on the remote control during recording.The
minimum track length is 4 seconds.
Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.
