How do record a cd when i hit the record button or bun button it say no audio

The disc has to stay music on it on the label. Ones you use for a computer to burn music will not work with a CD Recorder,

Have you looked at the manual? This unit only records on CD-R AUDIO blank media. (Page 44)

You can't. Cassettes are analog and the USB only recognizes MP3. The USB will only record off a normal CD or a CD with MP3s on it. It won't record other formats. The unit only allows to record from CD to cassette or from CD to USB. There are some cassette decks that will convert to MP3. Just do a search for "cassette to MP3 converter"

I think if you had the manual you would know the answer to the last question.

Tracks must be a minimum of 4 seconds long (page 118)

when you buy cdr's to use with the recorder be sure to go and buy "cdr audio". You may have problems with certain brands. It really is hit or miss but Sony discs should be fine with this player but try to get a small number of cheaper disks and try to see what works well.

There is a small chance that one brand may sound better(or some people say) but I have never had one problem like this from one to another.

Are you using CD-R- Audio or Music discs? It won't record onto computer (data) discs)

Have a look at the manual for your AV receiver, you may find that you can change the digital output format between DTS mode and PCM(audio) mode. It needs to be in PCM(audio) mode for your CD recorder to be able to record digitally. If that doesn't solve it I can only suggest recording in analogue mode, i.e. taking a stereo analogue signal from your receiver to the analogue inputs of your CD recorder.

Hope this helps

maybe its the format of the material that is recorded on the disk. I.E. maybe MP3 when you should have used CD audio format or some such problem.

ah..yes..mi friend, i was in that spot one time. one suggestion i have is-make sure the blank cd you are trying to record on is a "compact disc DIGITAL audio"...or try hitting the "input select" button.
