Hello again Michael: What appears below is taken directly from the PTR1 users manual:
9.1 Principles for Recording in Music CD Format. When recording in music CD format, keep these principles in mind: * You should record music CD format only to digital audio recordable CD. * The Plextalk cannot record in music CD format on a PC card. * You cannot edit a recording in music CD format. If need to edit, record to a PC card in another format, perform the desired editing, and then back up the PC card or a CD in music CD format. Now, too things. First, this "users manual" file is dated 07/12/2004; hence, it can't reflect any firmware changes that took place after that date, i.e., 2.01eng. Second, I was considering the terms "music CD format" and "pcm 44.1KHz" to be identical. Is this incorrect? Have you recorded in "music CD format" directly to a PC card? Actually, when you consider that, when recording in music CD format, the recorder looks to determine that the storage disk is a "digital audio recordable" CD (DAR-CD), I don't see how you could record in music CD format to a PC card since these cards are, to the best of my knowledge, not available with the requisite DAR-CD flag / digital signature, or the like encoded on them. Can you enlighten me...and the list? Many thanks!
