 Procedure
1. Press one of REC TRACK [1] to [9/10] to select the track
to which to record.
By selecting a track to record to that is different from the
track that you previously recorded to, you can record a
new part while listening to the previously recorded part.
* If you choose a track to record to that already contains data
(where the REC TRACK button is lit in green), the indicator
lights alternately in orange and green, and the new music
overwrites the previously recorded data.

2. Press [REC].
[REC] flashes in red and the BR-1180/1180CD enters the
recording standby state.
3. Press [PLAY].
The [REC] and REC TRACK buttons stop flashing in red
and instead light solidly, and recording starts.
Only what you are currently playing is recorded to the new
track. The music that is being played back is not recorded.
* If you use the INPUT LEVEL knob to turn down the volume
of the input source during recording, the sound will be
recorded in the audio track at a low volume, so that noise will
be more apparent when you raise the volume of the audio track
for playback. If you want to lower the volume of the input
source that you are monitoring during recording, lower the
volume with the MASTER fader. To change the volume of the
music being played back, use the TRACK fader for the
respective tracks.
