Recording One Track from a Digital Source
If you want to record just a single track, or a few selected tracks, from another
CD
, an
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
, this mode is ideal.
The recorder starts and stops automatically, and there's no need to worry about recording levels — you'll get a perfect digital
copy of the original. Before you start, make sure that your digital source is properly connected to one of the recorder’s digital
inputs — see
Connecting Up for Digital Playback & Recording on page 10 for more on this.
If you're recording all the tracks on the source, see
Automatically Recording All Tracks from a Digital Source on the next
page. If you're recording from some other digital source, turn to
Manually Recording from a Digital Source on page 23. If
you’re recording from any source through the analog inputs, see
Recording an Analog Source on page 24.
