Recording from FM Radio or External Audio Signals Any incoming audio signals can serve as recordable audio sources for the MCX-2000. If you've appropriately set up the FM antenna (page 4) or connect external audio equipment to the analog and/or digital input jacks (page 9), you can record their sounds at any time using the same recording interface. n You need to register desired FM stations to the Presets list before recording (page 59). 2 Press the SELECT button on the remote control at the first parameter in the recording screen-Preset or Input, then specify the target FM station or input. If you're in the FM recording screen, you can select an FM station from the Presets list, through the group/station selection dialog box. 1 From the Recording menu screen, select Store from Radio if you want to record an FM radio program, or select Store from Inputs if you want to record audio signals from external equipment. In either case, the MCX-2000 shows a similar recording screen as follows. FM station selected from the Preset list n Internet or XM radio stations (US model only) are shown in gray in the Presets list, indicating they're unavailable for recording. If you select one of these gray items, the MCX-2000 will show "-----" at the Preset column indicating no FM radio station is selected. (You cannot start recording.) Input selection 3 After selecting the target, move the selection (highlight) to the next parameter in the recording screen, Track Marking. Set your preferred recording method as needed. The following parameters are common to both recording screens. 1 Track Marking Specify how you want to 'divide' the recording. Select Manual if you want to divide the recording manually inserting a track mark, or when you want to manage, for example, a radio program or sounds from a live show as a single song in the music archive. With Manual the MCX-2000 creates a large song file at the point you stop recording. On the other hand, if you want separated songs after the recording, select SYNCHRO. With this option selected, the MCX-2000 automatically inserts a track mark at a predefined silent level (track gap) to separate songs. In either case, you can manually insert a track mark at any point using the Track Marking command from the Submenu. MCX-2000 Owner's Manual 69
