How to use the REC INPUT key
When the input selection is CD and recording is started,
digital recording is selected automatically and adjust-
ment of the recording level is not required.
When the playback level of a digitally recorded MD is not
suitable (too loud or too low), the recording level can be
adjusted by using the REC INPUT key to switch to analog
recording, and then recording can be repeated with ad-
justment to the most suitable level.
Each press switches the modes as follows.
1 "DIGITAL" is lit : Digital recording
2 Not lit

How to use the AUTO/MANU. key
This selects whether the track numbers are set automatically during analog recording or manually during or after recording.
The track numbers are used at the time of playback to find the start of tracks, for programming, etc.
AUTO
When a part without sound continues for 2 sec. or more during
recording, the track number is automatically increased by "1"
when the next sound enters. Use this mode for normal recording.
Use this mode to record all tracks of a CD. When classic music
continues with low sound, the track number may be increased by
"1". The erroneously set track number can be erased later.
In case of such music, use MANUAL for recording.
Select before the start of recording
1. At the time of recording from a CD, the track number may be incremented when CD playback starts. This occurs because of a signal included
in the digital signal from the CD. Delete unwanted track numbers under reference to "TRACK ERASE or ALL ERASE".
Notes Notes
2. When a track is extremely short, the track number may not be incremented correctly in AUTO mode.
