What is external recording?
Recording from an additional appliance is called “external
recording”.
Analog or digital recording?
When making recordings from an external source, we
recommend doing analog recording only if digital recording
is not possible. Digital recording will result in better sound
quality.
Automatic track increment
When the digital input for recording from a digital
source 
(e.g. CD player) is used, tracks will be incremented
automatically such that the track numbers are positioned
on the same position as on the original. When the analog
input 
for recording from a digital or analog source is
used, track increment will not take place automatically
unless one of the following settings is selected.Track
increments may not always be positioned correctly,
depending on the quality of the source material.
Press TR. INCR. as often as necessary on the remote
control during stop to switch through the following
automatic track increment functions:
TURNTABLE: for optimal recording from noisy sources
like turntables (It is not possible to connect a
turntable directly to AUX/CDR IN L/R - see “Analog
connections”.)
TAPE/TUNER: for optimal recording from a tape
CD/DVD: for optimal recording from high quality sources
like DAT, DCC or DVD
MANUAL: for switching the automatic track function off
Notes:
Track numbers can be incremented manually by pressing
TR. INCR. on the remote control during recording.The
minimum track length is 4 seconds.
Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.
