Steve - I have to give way to you on this, as I have been going off memory, as it has been a long time since I've used an audio disk in my PTR1, always using data disks.

I've just checked and put a new blank audio CD in the PTR1. | It announces Audio Digital CD. Then when I go to RECORDING SETTINGS and go | through the options you can have DEFAULT or CUSTOM. You cannot choose 44 1 | PCM Stereo even under CUSTOM as there are no formats offered. They are only | available as a choice when you insert a standard VD-R(W). | | So I conclude that if Bill is using a MUSIC format blank CD the format will | be automatically correct. | | Regards | Steve | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 3:01 PM | Subject: Re: making standard CD's | | | > Ok.
