To automatically compress linear PCM tracks into AAC
formated data.
• CD Auto Recording (CD AUTO REC) : See page 41.

entirely (from the first track to the last) in Normal play

How Smart Compression actually works?
When you turn off the unit by pressing STANDBY/ON
or by using timers or Auto Power off (see pages 63 to 68),
data compression automatically starts.
The display dims, and the SMART COMP. indicator starts
flashing on the display. The STANDBY/ON lamp also
starts flashing in green.

When the compression is complete, Smart Compression is
turned off automatically, and the unit goes into standby
mode (the STANDBY/ON lamp stops flashing and remains
lit in red.)
• It may take a long time (the sum of the playing times of
all existing linear PCM tracks plus searching time) for
the unit to compress all the PCM tracks. By pressing
STANDBY/ON
again, you can stop compression
and make the unit go into standby mode.
Smart Compression always works even if no linear
PCM track has been recorded
When you turn off the unit with Smart Compression turned on, it
always works because the unit starts searching for linear PCM
tracks.
