audio data
— Time Machine Recording
When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast,
the first few seconds of material are often lost due
to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents
and press the record button. To prevent the loss of
this material, the Time Machine Recording feature
constantly stores the most recent audio data in a
buffer memory. This lets you record the sound
from 6 seconds before starting recording, as
shown in the illustration below:

When recording from this system’s CD

to mark the track numbers at the desired

automatically during recording from the
