Numbering Tracks
If you're recording from
CD
,
MD
,
DCC
or
DAT
, you can usually let the recorder number the tracks as they change on the
source material. Although automatic track numbering is the default mode of the recorder, you can number tracks manually
as recording is taking place. In some cases — such as recording from digital satellite or Laserdisc, or from an analog
source — auto track numbering may not work reliably (in these cases, a new track is started after the recorder detects two
seconds of silence), and it's better to use manual track numbering.
Although manual track numbering puts you in control of where tracks start and end, bear in mind that once the recording has
finished, you can't edit, add or remove the track numbers.

The
SCMS
(Serial Copy Management System) allows you
to make digital copies of digital sources for your own use,
but prevents further digital copies being made from the
copy. You can, however, always record through the analog
inputs. To check whether you'll be able to record a source
digitally, follow the steps below.
