The EDIT function has two recording modes in which you can store the recording time of the tape in the changer
memory.
EDIT NORMAL - The changer will determine which tracks fit on each side of the tape and will stop after the last
track. The tracks will be recorded in the order in which they appear on the CD(s).
EDIT OPTIMAL — The changer now calculates the combination of tracks that will optimize the use of available
recording time.
NOTE!
— The EDIT function cannot be used for CDs containing more than 30 tracks.
— The - VOLUME + keys on the remote control (CDC 926 only), may not be used during recording, as they affect
the strength of the signal from the changer.
