Making a custom recording
The custom recording option lets you choose which tracks to
record, the sound quality of the recording, and allows you to
enter album information.
To make a custom recording:
•
Choose 3Custom from the "Please select Auto or
Custom record" screen.
A series of screens allow you to specify each of the
recording options.

Record Quality
The Record Quality menu allows you to specify the
recording quality:
•
Use the 9 or 8 keys to choose between Maximum
(no compression used) or one of the MP3
compression options.

many CDs.
In each case the display shows the total remaining recording
time available at the specified recording quality.
•
Press the 5Select key to confirm your selection.
