Recording From Fm Radio Or External Audio Signals - Yamaha MCX-2000 - MusicCAST Digital Audio Server Setup Manual

Recording from FM Radio or External Audio
Signals
Any incoming audio signals can serve as recordable audio
sources for the MCX-2000. If you've appropriately set up the
FM antenna (page 4) or connect external audio equipment to
the analog and/or digital input jacks (page 9), you can record
their sounds at any time using the same recording interface.
n You need to register desired FM stations to the Presets list before
recording (page 59).
1 From the Recording menu screen, select Store from
Radio if you want to record an FM radio program, or
select Store from Inputs if you want to record audio
signals from external equipment. In either case, the
MCX-2000 shows a similar recording screen as follows.
FM station selected from the Preset list
Input selection
2 Press the SELECT button on the remote control at the
first parameter in the recording screen—Preset or Input,
then specify the target FM station or input. If you're in the
FM recording screen, you can select an FM station from
the Presets list, through the group/station selection dialog
box.
n Internet or XM radio stations (US model only) are shown in gray in the
Presets list, indicating they're unavailable for recording. If you select
one of these gray items, the MCX-2000 will show "–––––" at the
Preset column indicating no FM radio station is selected. (You cannot
start recording.)
3 After selecting the target, move the selection (highlight) to
the next parameter in the recording screen, Track Marking.
Set your preferred recording method as needed.
The following parameters are common to both recording
screens.

Track Marking
Specify how you want to 'divide' the recording. Select
Manual if you want to divide the recording manually inserting
a track mark, or when you want to manage, for example, a
radio program or sounds from a live show as a single song in
the music archive. With Manual the MCX-2000 creates a
large song file at the point you stop recording. On the other
hand, if you want separated songs after the recording, select
SYNCHRO. With this option selected, the MCX-2000
automatically inserts a track mark at a predefined silent level
(track gap) to separate songs. In either case, you can
manually insert a track mark at any point using the Track
Marking command from the Submenu.
