audio data
— Time Machine Recording
When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast,
the first few seconds of material are often lost due
to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents
and press the record button. To prevent the loss of
this material, the Time Machine Recording feature
constantly stores the most recent audio data in a
buffer memory. This lets you record the sound
from 6 seconds before starting recording, as
shown in the illustration below:
5 Start playing the desired source (e.g.,
CD) to record.
When recording from this system’s CD
player, the track numbers are automatically
marked. Press REC/REC IT during recording
to mark the track numbers at the desired
point. If you want to mark track numbers
automatically during recording from the
radio, see “Marking track numbers” on
page 34.
To stop recording
Press MD s.
To record over from the
beginning of an existing MD
track
1 Turn MD JOG until the number of the track to
be recorded over appears after step 2.
2 Press REC/REC IT.
“Overwrite” and remaining recordable time on
the MD alternate in the display.

Tips
You can adjust the recording level to the desired
volume (see page 37).
You can check the remaining recordable time on the
MD during recording by pressing MD DISPLAY.
Notes
If you pause recording during CD recording, a track
number is recorded at that point. Also, note that the
tracks might be recorded as the same single track
with a single track number when the same single
track of the same CD is recorded repeatedly.
You cannot record over the existing material when
“PROGRAM” or “SHUFFLE” appears in the
display.
