(The display will indicate

However if you have enabled the sampling rate
converter, recording can take place even if the
sampling rate does not match (see “Using the

Specifying the recording file format
If the current device is CF, you can record in MP3 or WAV
format. If the current device is CD, you can record in MP3
or audio CD (CD-DA) format.
MP3 files and WAV files can coexist on a CF card, but
MP3 files and audio CD files cannot coexist on an audio
CD. This means that the first file to be recorded on a CD
will determine the file format (MP3 or audio CD) that can
be recorded on that disc.
NOTE
Although you cannot record WAV files on a CD, you •
can use the subsequently described function for
copying files from CF card to CD to copy the WAV
files (see “Copying files between CD and CF card”
on page 65).
Recording of MP3 files to CD is possible only if a
•
blank CD is inserted. If you eject the CD or turn off
the power, subsequent additional recording will
not be possible (see “Finalizing a CD” on page 43).
The file format setting is made via the menu while stopped
or while in the record-ready condition (for details on menu
operations, refer to “Operations in the menu screens” on
page 18).
