SYNCHRO. Type
This parameter is only available when SYNCHRO. is selected
for Track Marking above. Select Full Auto if you want fully
automatic recording. With this option selected, the
MCX-2000 starts recording as soon as it detects the first track
gap from incoming signals, and inserts a track mark at the
second and following track gap points, then stops recording if
a level of silence is maintained for a predefined period. With
Full Auto selected, start playing from the 'previous' song on the
external audio equipment and the MCX-2000 automatically
starts recording at the beginning of the 'next' song—the first
song you want to record. When Auto Track Marking is
selected, the MCX-2000 only inserts track marks; hence, you
should start and stop recording manually.
n If you have no 'previous' song from the source audio, you may want
to select Auto Track Marking. Such cases include when you want to
record from the beginning of an analog tape played on external
equipment or when you want to record a talk program from FM
broadcast.
4 Open the Submenu to set REC Monitor to ON.
Simultaneously, REC Monitor becomes available.
If you're in the FM recording screen, you can hear a radio
broadcast from the selected FM station. If you're in the
Inputs recording screen, start playback on the external
equipment connected to the selected input jack(s).
5 Adjust the recording level as required, using the bar graph
meter, accessible from REC Level in the Submenu. Use
the up or down arrow button on the cursor controller to
increase or decrease the recording level.
n You may want to adjust maximum recording levels to go between –3
dB to 0 dB, to gain the volume competing with an average
commercial CD.

6 When you're ready, move the selection (highlight) to
Recording and select Start. If you've selected Full Auto in
step 3, the yellow "Ready to Record" message changes
to "Pause" and recording will start from the beginning of
the next song (Track 0001). Otherwise, the MCX-2000
immediately starts recording with Track 0001.
During recording, the track number is incremented every
time the MCX-2000 detects a track gap (in Full Auto or Auto
Track Marking mode), or when you manually insert a track
mark by 'clicking' the Mark button in the Submenu (in all
modes).
n You can exit the recording screen and enjoy playing other audio
sources, unless you need to stay there to monitor recording or
manually insert track marks. You can still select the currently recorded
audio source from the Library menu; however, changing its settings
directly affects the recording.
