Recording a CD:
Specifying Tape
Length (time edit)
You can have the stereo system create
programs based on the tape length. The CD
player makes programs that will fit the tape
length. For example, if you use a 40-minute
tape to record a 46-minute CD, the CD
player will automatically choose tracks that
will fit within the 40-minutes, filling as
much of the tape as possible. The player
will not program those tracks beyond track
number 20. Use the buttons on both the
unit and the remote to do this operation.
