Chapter 4: the Tape Player
Recording a CD:
Specifying Tape
Length (time edit)
You can have the stereo system create
programs that will fit the tape length. For
example, if you use a 40-minute tape to
record a 46-minute CD, the CD player will
automatically choose tracks that will fit
within the 40-minutes, filling as much of
the tape as possible. The player will not
program those tracks beyond track number
20. Use the buttons on both the unit and the
remote to do this operation.

CHANGE again to close the CD tray.
