Synchro-Recording With a Sony CD Player
g

By connecting your recorder to a Sony CD player, you can easily dub CDs onto MDs using the CD synchro buttons on the remote. If your recorder is connected to a Sony CD player by a digital input cable, track numbers are automatically marked as on the original, regardless of whether �LevelSync ON� or �LevelSyncOFF� is selected. If your recorder is connected to a Sony CD player by audio connecting cords through LINE (ANALOG) IN, track numbers are automatically marked when you select �LevelSync ON� (see �Marking Track Numbers While Recording� on page 12).
